Import DXF looses Layers
When importing a .dxf file in Ai it looses layers.
When opening regularly layers are showing, but as the DXF is huge, larger than default max artboard, I have to create a new file with large artboard, and next import my file. But in that case all the entities come on the same layer.
And in the regular opening DXF box the option Scale file to the Artboard should better be "scale the artboard" to file...
Many Thanks

Saving as PDF loses all artwork outside of artboard - THIS HAS TO BE FIXED
For 15 years I have never had an issue saving files as PDFs. I have always used the save as Smallest File Size PDF option, I do a lot of large format printing so this is necessary in order to rip files in a timely manner to the printer. Now when I save a pdf all my artwork that's outside the artboard disappears, hours upon hours of artwork just gone, no warning. Its bad enough there is no longer a way to purchase the software so having to pay monthly and the constant terrible updates are ruining me and my…

SVG保存時にスワッシュ字形等が書き出されない
macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
Illustrator ver.29.3.1再現手順
1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に「Air」と入力し欧文フォント(スワッシュ字形が有効なもの)を指定する。
2.OpenTypeパネルの「スワッシュ字形」と「タイトル用字形」をクリックする。
3.SVG形式で保存。その際、フォントをサブセットで埋め込む。
4.ブラウザ等で確認するとスワッシュ字形等がデフォルトの字形で表示される。期待する結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が正しく表示される。実際の結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が標準字形になる。SwashやTitlingAlternatesはスタイルに対してfont-feature-settings等の設定が必要になりますが、Illustratorはそういった設定を保存しません。また、フォントサブセットを保存した場合でも標準字形のグリフが保存されます。
EN Translate:
Step to Reproduce
1. open a new document, type "Air" on the artboard, and specify a western font (with swash glyphs enabled).
2. Click "Swash" and "Titling Alternates" in the OpenType panel.
3. Save the file in SVG format. (Embed the font as a subset.)
4. When we check the file in a browser, the swash and Titling Alternates will be displayed as default glyph.Expected Results
Swash and titlling Alternates are displayed correctly.Actual result
Swash and titleling Altermates are fallback…2 votes -

2025で開いたときに更新箇所を確認したいので、2024で別名保存して、2025で開くと、以下の表示が出ます。

Export Assets (Elements) as SVG results in additional content in exported file
When exporting assets as SVG using Asset Export panel, additional content is added — content that I exported weeks ago. When using "artboards" to export everything is correct.

Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator
Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

The Illustrator was not responding every time I tend to save new file
Once I open Illustrator, it functions smoothly. I can open and save a copy of an existing files without any problems. However, when I click 'New File' and attempt to save it, the program consistently crashes with and became unresponsive.
I tried saving the recovered file, but it also hangs and 'not responding' when I click 'Save' in the File menu. I even restarted my computer to see if that would resolve the issue, but I'm still unable to save a new file.
I hope you can assist me with this problem.

App crashes right after saving a file
New v. 29, the King of Crashes
Steps taken: I restart the app. (ignore the request to restart from the crash manager, somehow, that will cause another crash soon after)
Crashes usually happen right when the app is done saving a file.
This is probably the version that crashes most often in a VERY long time of using AI.2 votes -

Distorted curve line when saving an SVG
Hello, when we save from AI/EPS to SVG file, the 'f' edge path of the logo automatically becomes out of shape. We tried different colors and it works fine. This issue only happen on white SVG. Please help.
2 votesIncrease Decimal Places value in Export As / Save As (under More Options) to raise the precision. By default it’s too low, and if your graphics is rather small, it can cause problems like this.

Somem objetos em branco na hora de exportar/imprimir
Estou há meses enfrentando este problema com o Illustrator. Objetos em branco, sejam eles icones ou textos estavam sumindo na hora que eu convertia para jpg e outros formatos de imagem e na hora que enviada o arquivo para a impressora. Comecei a analisar atalhos por meses para identificar qual era o problema e como conseguiria resolver, visto que isso ocasionava em atrasos nas minhas entregas de artes. A primeira solução que achei foi adicionando novo preenchimento aos objetos que sumiam, o que me ajudou mas ainda atrasava. Hoje descobri que você tem que acessar o menu aparência, verificar se…

Export to SVG adding spurious characters to gtags from layer names which start with numbers
When exporting to svg if the layer name in Illustrator starts with a number when it comes out the other end as a gtag in the svg it is adding spurious characters. For example if a layer name starts with 0Yx it is coming out in the svg as _30Yx This then means that downstream where the application is expecting 0Yx it's not working as _30Yx is there instead. This has only started recently with the new version of Illustrator and the only work round is to close Illustrator 2024 and export using Illustrator 2023

When using Export As SVG in 28.5 and 28.6, underscores get replaced with '_x5F_', unlike in 28.4 and earlier
When exporting to .svg, '_x5F' text is added to one of the layers, which then changes the order that things are displayed.
I do not understand how this text is now added and would like to prevent it from happening.2 votes
