Adobe Illustrator is a top-quality software utilized for graphic design. However, similar to any other software, it may experience operational problems at times. This blog post will guide you through the process of resolving damaged Adobe Illustrator. Please follow these instructions diligently to restore full functionality to your Adobe Illustrator.
Restart the Program and Computer
The first step is typically the simplest – try closing and re-opening Adobe Illustrator. If the issue persists, consider restarting your computer. Sometimes, minor software glitches can be eliminated through these steps.
Update Adobe Illustrator
Another common issue is outdated software. Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Illustrator. You can check this by opening Adobe Illustrator, going to the “Help” menu and selecting Check for Updates.
Reset Adobe Illustrator Settings
If the above steps didn’t work, you might need to reset Adobe Illustrator settings. Kindly note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings, and application will launch with default settings.
Here is how you do it:
1. Close Adobe Illustrator. 2. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows), or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. The new settings files are created the next time you start Illustrator. 3. Release the keys when the splash screen appears.
Delete Adobe Illustrator Temp Files
Temp files can sometimes block the software. Deleting temp files might help to resolve the issue. Be careful; deleting the wrong files can cause more problems. Only delete files with .tmp extension from Adobe folders.
Reinstall Adobe Illustrator
If all the above fixes have not worked, you can try uninstalling Adobe Illustrator from your system and then reinstalling it. This should fix any corrupted files or settings in the software.
Use Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
The last resort you can try if you’re still having issues is using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. This tool will clean up all installed Adobe Creative Cloud applications and fix any remaining issues.
In conclusion, these are just a few ways to fix a damaged Adobe Illustrator. Always remember to keep your software updated and to regularly check for any issues that might arise. Happy designing!
