  1. SVG files open altered

    My files are continuously saving incorrectly. They look great when I save, but when I close out and open it later, things are not as they were. Anchors/handles jump out of whack, stylized effects disappear, rasterized images go blank or disappear; it is maddening. I cannot use this program if my files do not reopen as I saved them. They are exactly right when I hit save, but upon reopening, or opening in another program, they are altered in infuriatingly time-consuming ways.

    Possible related symptoms -- upon saving a file, Illustrator regularly tells me my file has been modified outside…

  2. While the file is still running in the software, it has vanished from the folder.

    Regretfully, my file is no longer in the area where I saved it, but it is still open in the software, and I am unable to save it to any folder or Adobe Cloud. I don't know why this is occurring.

  3. PDF no mantiene valores de color

    Al generar un PDF/X-4 con una calidad de salida específica, los valores originales no se conservan, sino que se convierten completamente a dicha calidad de salida.

  5. White words invisible on export

    There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

  6. Exporting DWG or DXF and importing it back leads to artifacts

    On importing .dwg or .dxf files into illustrator (even for files that have been exported from illustrator in those formats), the file opens with unwanted artifacts. Please see the image below. On the left is the ai file and on the right is the same file exported as .dwg and opened, with artifacts on the curves.

    This is basic and shouldn't be happening in the first place. It makes working with manufacturing utterly painful.

    Request you guys to please iron out this glitch.

  9. EXPORT AS JPEG (at least) 150 dpi's option is not working properly

    PLEASE CHECK - it says 150 dpi's but the file is less. If I do the same in a previous version of illustrator, it is accepted.

  16. Unable to export to SVG using 'Export to Screens'

    I cannot export as SVG using 'Export to Screens', I just get unable to export files error. Only way to do it is 'Save As' SVG and change to SVG 1.0 (1.1 doesn't work).
    Very frustrating!

  17. Unable to export to SVG using 'Export to Screens'

    I cannot Export to Screens using SVG - gives an error of 'unable to export following files'. I've tried a simple shape too and that doesn't work! The only way I can do it is to 'save as' SVG and change to SVG 1.0.

  20. Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.

    Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.
