  1. Save for Web Preview

    This has bugged me for a very long time. When exporting, often the image looks like it will be missing a pixel width along the edge unless you increase the image size to go over the artboard vs. exactly fitting the artboard.
    I check the dimensions of the art and, for example, it's 1920x1080 perfectly aligned in the corner at x=0 and y=0, yet you can see the missing pixel along the left edge. And, if I export it, it indeed is missing the pixel.

  2. Transparency / Blending Modes stuck

    I experience regularly that Transparency and Blending modes doe not relfect what the controls / parameters say.

    An example in the screenshots: the Triangles with the green Gradient are Blending Mode Normal / 100% (have been transparent before, but switched back). On white everything seems normal, but as soon as the blue background is switched on, we see that the blending mode is not Normal. The selection is not part of a Group.

  3. Arabic / Hindi Diacritical Marks Editing Problem/Bug in Illustrator

    HINDI / ARABIC SPEAKERS PLEASE HELP! Theres a huge problem or bug in illustrator i think...

  6. AIX file opens as blank white square

    Working in Windows 10 Pro and Adobe Illustrator 24.3

    Hi, I've recently run into the issue of not being able to open AIX files in illustrator despite having logged in to ArcGIS Online. Now, when I open an AIX file I'm just given a blank white square without any of my layers. I haven't had this issue before, so I'm wondering what is causing it. Any help would be appreciated. File I'm trying to open is attached as well as a screen grab of what I'm seeing when I try to open it.
    Thanks!!

  9. Pathfinder tool functions not working

    I am using Illustrator 2021, which just auto-updated, running on Windows 10.

    The Pathfinder tool's functions (Unite, Minus Front, Intersect, and Exclude) are not working just after Illustrator 2021 updated. The Intersect subfunction still produces a "The filter produced no results" error box, but none of the other functions do anything.

    In the attached image, the two ellipses are supposed to get merged into a lumpy shape, but they don't.

  10. Software does'nt work

    Dear Adobe Creative Cloud helper,
    I have upgraded my software to version Illustrator 2021 via my Creative Cloud account on my iMac Pro (MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina). Everything was seemingly going right but, when I open my new Illustrator 2021, it quits out as soon as I move the mouse …
    I tried to uninstall and then install again but the same problem occurs. I can’t find out what is going wrong …
    Please Help me.

  12. Distribuisci Spaziatura non funziona con oggetto chiave

    Su MacOs 10.15.7 (19H2), l'opzione Distribuisci Spaziatura con una SPECIFICA DISTANZA trasforma i mm in punti.
    Se immetto una distanza di 30 mm tra gli oggetti, ad esempio, Illustrator allinea gli oggetti mantenendo una spaziatura di 10,583 mm (30 pt). 10 mm diventano 3,528 mm (10 pt), etc.

  16. Lenteur Illustrator 2021 et incapacité d'ouvrir les fichiers

    Bonjour, je travaille sur PC (Windows 10). Depuis la mise à jour (version 2021) , l'ouverture d'Illustrator est extrêmement lente. Ce matin, aucun fichier ne s'ouvre. J'ai redémarré mon pc à plusieurs reprises, désinstaller et réinstaller Illustrator. Rien n'y fait.

  17. Illustrator 2021 (Version 25.0.0) crashing when running Variable Importer script

    Ever since the update, the program crashes when you either "test" the files before importing the variables or even if you skip this step and directly choose importing the variables, it completely crashes the application. I require this script for my job and have a project due this Friday, October 30th 2020. Please address immediately.

  20. Lost Work. Work not in cloud

    I worked on a file for an hour Saturday, 10/24 and it isn’t there today. I’m working in the Beta version of Illustrator for iPad. I’ve never had a document not automatically save to the cloud. I also checked my creative cloud and it wasn’t there either. The beta version of Ai for iPad is not a separate app from the public version. I can only have 1 version on my iPad at a time. I really wish the beta was a separate app so I could have both versions. Now I can’t work in it at all for fear…
