  1. Taper

    I was thinking about this for a time now, what if we could have taper ability for shapes?

    To elaborate, here we have a rectangle (video) and to adjust it we got to select one anchor, bring it in, other anchor, check if they are symmetrical, and bring other anchor in

    What if there would be a taper that will simultaneously pull two desired anchors inwards or outwards?

  4. Pattern problem when making PDF

    Artist created an ILL file in 27.9 version, using Pattern Swatches and also used a transparency on that pattern in the art. When PDF is created and opened, I get an error:
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    The pattern does not display at all along with this display in Acrobat.

    I did a test and replaced my version of 27.9 ILL to version 27.0. And it works perfectly. PDF does not flag an issue and RIPS properly as well.…

  7. Share for a review can't update

    When I try to update the file In Illustrator so the last changes are applied I get this message: there was an error updating the artefact. It happens occasionally but when I try second time to update mostly it works. This is the first link I cannot update for a review, I have at least 10 other jobs I share with 20 other people and they all work.

  13. All controls in Print dialog are disabled when printing a new file

    When I create a new doc, the first time I want to print with a predefined print settings, nothing appears cheeked in the window. No previsualization too.
    I must check "Finish" and reprint for having the normal window with all functionality.

  14. Window keeps resizing

    The window keeps resizing. I use Spectacle (a simple window resize tool that works with every other program). It's very handy to have shortcuts to move windows around like PCs do, but Mac doesn't support by default.

    Now when I do certain actions, the window shrinks back down to less than full size. It's very annoying and never used to happen. Please fix!

  15. Can't open file / The account you signed in with doesn't have access to this file

    "Contact the owner for more info"... But I am on the owner of the file!
    People with whom I shared for Edit can also not access.
    I created this file and saved it on the Cloud about 1 year ago. It contains all interfaces for a client's project! It's a huge issue if we cannot recover it!

    Can someone help!
    Much appreciated :-)

    Regards,

    Vh.

  16. Illustrator 27.9 not functioning even with the most simple tasks 2023

    I get a spinning wheel on the simple task of tipping and trying to move a 4-letter word. The word doesn't follow my cursor. I outlined the word, and I can't move it or duplicate without getting the spinning wheel. I created a simple rectangle and I get the same. Change color, resize, duplicate with keyboard, the same. I closed all other apps, the same. Can't work with the app, it's useless. Please help.

  17. Repeat gizmo (number of repetitions) is invisible when zoomed out

    There’s something a bit inconvenient with the repeat tools: when they are small, you need to zoom in to be able to see the repeat gizmos.
    So, for 5 mins, I was trying to find a way to modify the number of repetitions without knowing I had to zoom closer. I realized that it would be handy to have them in the repeat panel instead of only relying to gizmos.

  18. Colors Get Stuck in the Adobe RGB Color Space When Switching From Adobe RGB to sRGB

    When I change the document color profile from sRGB to Adobe RGB and then back to sRGB, all the colors get stuck in the Adobe color space.

    How to reproduce the problem:

    1) Create an sRGB document with an R: 0 G: 255 B: 0 object.

    2) Assign the Adobe RGB color profile.

    3) Assign the sRGB color profile.

  19. Item cannot be selected nor deleted

    Like the title says. Makes this bloated and over-rated tool even more frustrating to use.

  20. No overprint objects but a dash appears in Attributes panel

    Documents that have no fill or stroke objects set to Overprint show a dash in the Attributes panel checkbox that makes you suspect there is overprint. Confusing, nothing should be checked if nothing is set to overprint. The example show a dash for fill when the image is selected and a faint dash for stroke when the text is selected.
