  1. Variable Data Not Working - Illustrator

    Hi - Is anyone else having issues with the Variable data tool? This week it doesn't seem to be working for me after a recent update.

    I'm trying to import a list of names to swap out for a batch of images.

    I've created my image, dropped in the line of text that will change based on the data and put that on a new layer. I then clicked "Make Text Dynamic" in the Variable window and loaded my .CSV file of list of names.

    The data set comes in, but it comes in blank. None of the names in…

  3. Excessive fan and temperature in v21

    Hi. Upgraded to v21 from v20 when it was automatically available. I am on a Dell laptop 7501 with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz and 40gb RAM. Since installing v21 when illustrator runs it constantly runs the fans up and CPU temp is generally above 80degrees, after about an hour the program crashes. All drivers are up to date. Switched back to v20 and no issues, no fan noise in operation and temp about 20degrees lower!

  4. Expand path twith rounded ends to shape not working

    In Illustrator 25.0 a path with rounded ends will no longer turn into the equivalent shape. Instead, one end will be squared off, rendering the function useless.

    CC2021 is just so full of bugs right now, I'm currently downgrading to 2020 again. So sad, as the old, orange man would say.

    (OS X 10.15.7, Illustrator 25.0, 2019 iMac)

  5. (Slow) and not responding

    Hi!

    For the moment, I am unable to work on Illustrator. It worked fine earlier this week (even with a few unexpected crashes or slow moment).

    On a preexisting file or a brand new one, it is slow (zooming in or out for example takes seconds) if not just not responding at all: trying to move an element gives me a black window for a few sec' with a Not Responding state before I can see again and nothing has moved.

    I tried on v.25.0 and v.24.3 (from Windows 10).

    Maybe the issue comes from the computer, or Windows ? …

  6. PROBLEME A L'OUVERTURE

    Bonjour,
    Depuis de nombreuses semaines il m'est demandé à chaque ouverture de rentrer mon identifiant et mon mot de passe.
    C'est insupportable !
    J'ai fait toutes les demandes afin que ce problème soit réglé. A part me donner des listes de sites avec des liens innombrables pour procéder moi-même à la résolution de ce problème, je n'ai aucune solution.
    Je ne suis pas technicien et les solutions sont hermétiques.
    Je souhaiterais que quelqu'un de qualifié prenne la main sur mon ordinateur et fasse les réglages lui-même.
    Merci

  7. Copy & Paste not working from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop no longer works. When attempting to paste in Photoshop, Photoshop gives this response..."could not complete the paste command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid". I recently updated to Illustrator CC 24.1 and Photoshop CC 21.1 running on Mac OS High Sierra v. 10.13.6 This functionality worked flawlessly on the previous versions of Illustrator and Photoshop, but no longer works with the update. I've tried trashing prefs and restarting the computer, but to no avail. Is there a fix for this?

  8. Mi panel de propiedades esta TODO en ingles-

    Es muy molesto, todo esta en español excepto esto y son palabras muy tecnicas las cuales no conozco. Dependo de estar parando mi trabajo y traducir cada maldita palabra. Esto no pasaba cuando utilizaba Adobe ilustrator 2020.

  10. CC 2021 freezing on or right after start after working just fine for 3 weeks

    Hello,
    I worked for 3 weeks just fine with PS, AI and InDesign (all CC 2021) and then one evening the applications won't open again. They are freezing when starting up or crashing right after the start. I have changed nothing on my system, have installed no new software or anything I could imagine causing this behavior. Looking for help I browsed the internet and found that for many people only reinstalling the CC2020 applications helped. So I did that because I had work to finish. I think Adobe is not doing enough to help those many designers who report…

  15. This operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available.

    i'm getting this message "This operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available." I have 64GB Ram and NIVIDIA RTX 3090GPU , it happens when I tried to rotate a shape that has "free from gradient" and inner glow effect with clipping mask.

  18. I am using Illustrator v25.0 64-bit on Windows 10 and the Up/Down keys are swapped with the Left/Right keys.

    I am using Illustrator v25.0 64-bit on Windows 10 and the Up/Down keys are swapped with the Left/Right keys.

    Basically, if i select a shape and try to move it left with the left arrow key, it results in the shape moving down. The other arrow keys are also linked to incorrect directions. This behavior is only happening since the recent update.

  19. Layer colors changes on download from Creative Cloud

    After downloading an illustrator cloud document to my desktop, the resulting file has the wrong layer colors. The colors appear to change to the default order; blue, red, green, etc.

    We have our artwork on the second layer, which changes to red, and red is a terrible color for anchor points against artwork. Also, our translator uses color coded layers for different languages, and we really don't want to have to change them all back.

    This bug appears to be the same as the bug that occurred when files prior to 24.0 were saved in 24.0 (before that bug was…
