svg text
Exporting SVG on Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.2 on MacOS 10.14.3 is giving inconsistent results in regards to text. I am trying to export a file as an SVG with Font option set to SVG. However, the SVG file exported has some texts converted to paths or outlines and some texts are preserved as texts, which is what is desired. We have also tried this under Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.1 on Windows 10 Home with same results. We have included a sample file for you to test.
5 votesHi Akshay,
We were able to confirm the issue that you see. The issue indeed does not happen with Illustrator 2018 (22.1).
We identified hyphenation as the potential culprit. To workaround the issue, either disable hyphenation in the Paragraph panel or make sure text does not get hyphenated.
We are sorry that you experience the issue and are working on fixing the issue.

Could not read file because the plug in did not understand this file
Hi,
Illustrator was working fine, suddenly crashed and now says: 'Could not read the file because the plugin did not understand this file' everytime I try to launch.
I had alot of vectors on the document and several artboards and copies of work, some complex shapes and masks ect. Some of the some of the shapes which were masks in groups were clipping images, some of these clipping mask groups had been copied across documents and had missing links, which may be part of the problem.
Upon launching Illustrator a dialogue box appears and asks to 'replace' or 'ignore' the…

Unable to activate fonts because "Not signed in" even though I am signed in!
I am trying to open an Illustrator file that has two fonts which are not installed on my computer.
When I open the file, a dialog comes up and I click the "Find Fonts" button. However, it gives me an error saying that I am not signed in (see attachment "not signed in").
I am not able to click the Help menu option because the Find Font dialog window does not allow me to focus on the main window.
When I close the Find Font dialog, I check the help menu to discover that I am, in fact signed in!…

Hitting "enter" key when specifying page range of 'Save to PDF' on mac broken
Running AI on Mac 10.13.6 with AI 22.1.
On all programs, when a dialog box is 'highlighted' you can hit 'enter' which will do that action. There is a new bug on save to PDF on Mac at least. Should be very easy to fix guys!When you Save as PDF, and you have a multi-artboard file - if you want to save out a couple of the pages to PDF, you click 'Range' and type the page range, ie. 2-3. Usually I would always do this and then hit enter, as there is no point picking up the mouse.

Saving issue - the error box pops up...
I was using CC 2017 and went to save my file and a box popped up that said
"This printer driver is not supported by Illustrator"
I clicked okay and it let me go back to working. When I went to save again the same thing popped up. I updated to CC 2018 and when the program opened this same message popped up.
It seems to still let me work in the program, but when I go to save the screen goes black and freezes the program for about 20-30 seconds

SVG Export ignores layer id <g> tag for some artboards and layers, but not all of them
When exporting to SVG, some tags are ignored and some are not for the same document and export event.
I tried reproducing the problem and were successful.
Also, I tried fixing the problem and were, in a sense, successful.Fixed it using the assets option on the export panel: it creates 2 layers <g> tags. One of them has the correct naming (stroke) and the other is just generic (Layer2). The compiler put stroke inside layer2. Not good for my automation process and where did layer_2 come from? I did not create it.
Another fix is to save…

Warning message for over 15 years "This file has been modified outside of Illustrator"
There needs to be a way to disable this warning message. I have only seen this error in Illustrator, and it has been around for over 15 years with no solid solution. It appears to be related to file timestamps, but when a user is working on a file, saved on a file server, and they are the ONLY one who has access to the file, this error should NEVER appear. This error appears for Windows or Mac users, saving files on either a network or cloud storage location. So far, Adobe's solution is "just save the file locally". This…

Importing a PDF with only Spot RGB Colors inside treats the document as CMYK
I am exporting PDFs from an RGB file using 'Export for screens’ with a PDF Preset that converts to sRGB.
Any artboard that contains a ‘process’ RGB color (white, in my case) comes out as an RGB PDF file.
Any artboard that only contains Spot RGB colored elements is seen as a CMYK file when opened in Illustrator or imported in InDesign (which is my goal).My example file will export nicely until I hide the background layer to make my PDF transparent. Then the one with the (previously) white background becomes CMYK.

Bug generating previews when saving multiple artboards
When saving AI and EPS files using artboards, file previews (thumbnails) are not generated. All files display the preview of the original file. To rectify this, it is necessary to open and overwrite the files.

SVG Export missing data-attributes in 27.1
macOS Ventura 13.1
Illustrator 27.1Export for Screens
Choose SVG format
Edit Format Settings for SVG (by clicking on gear icon)
Select SVG and set to the following:
Styling: Inline Style
Font: SVG
Images: Preserve
Object IDs: Unique
Decimal: 2
check both Minify and ResponsiveThe exported SVG should have the attribute data-name with the object's layer name. For example, a rectangle object filled with the color #f6b780 with the layer named 0006A should look like this in the SVG file.
<rect id="bddec359-1a3b-4c18-8500-9c0518f1a41d" data-name="0006A" x="1374.25" y="603.67" width="232.52" height="83.75" style="fill:#f6b780"/>

SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue
Hi,
I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).
For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).
