Accessible title is ignored when opening or exporting an SVG
When an SVG document with a <title> element is opened, the title appears to be silently dropped. I don't see it in the Document Title of the File Properties nor in any layer. Moreover, when a Document Title is provided in the File Properties no <title> element is created in the SVG export. This is a significant barrier to creating accessible content for a file type that is becoming ubiquitous on the web. Yes, a title can be entered separately in a text editor after export, but such a requirement unnecessarily adds significant fragility to the process of creating/editing accessible…

Illustrator 24.2 not saving changes!!!!!
Since the last update it already happened twice, and I am mad as ****!!!
I just had another file that I worked one day before, and when I opened it now, the file has a lot of missing changes! Pretty much hours of work are gone! And I will have to do all over again! Luckily I had saved a copy as PDF to show to the client, so some graphics I could recover, but all the text elements I will have to redo!
And the crazy thing is that I have the habit of saving changes pretty much every…

The hinting not applied when export to JPG with anti-aliasing set to Hint in "Export for screen"
When exporting a JPG using "Export for screen", the hint information applied in the anti-aliasing setting is not applied and the expected output cannot be obtained.
environment / OSX10.13.6/Illustrator ver.24.0.0
Step to reproduce.
1. Files -> Export -> Export for screen
2. Set the Format as "JPG 100" and click the Preferences icon.
3. Choose "JPG100" and set the Antialias as "Hint".
4. Click apply and export.Result : The Hint no applied.
We need to get correct images like Illustrator ver.23.
Workaround
Use another functionality such as "Save for Web" or use Illustrator ver.23.6 votesDisabling 'Export in Background' in Preferences > File Handling helps to workaround the problem (until the actual fix). Make sure you enable 'Art Optimized (Supersampling)' as an anti-aliasing option in Export for Screens settings as well.

Metadata title isn't saving (24.0)
When I save an illustrator file, it's stripping out the specified metadata title and replacing it with the filename upon re-opening the file. Even if I re-enter the info in Bridge, when I modify & save the file in Illustrator, it reverts to the file name.
When I export the image though, it attaches whatever title is showing in the file info panel in Illustrator, regardless of whether it will "stick" after closing or not.Also to note, if I enter info into other fields it seems to work fine. It's only the Title that is being overridden.

Image embed option in SVG options does not work
Environment:
OS: Windows 10 Home
Illustrator Version 23.0.3 (64 bit)Recreating the bug:
1. Create some Illustrator artwork with a linked image (.jpg, .png, etc).
2. Export an SVG through File > Export > Export As...
3. Select the Image > Embed option.The resulting SVG does not contain the image. This was an issue introduced with Illustrator 2019, the 2018 version worked fine. Right now I'm embedding the image into the AI file itself as a workaround and then exporting it using the same method since that embeds the image into the SVG, but it would be nice if…

Can't save preview - error notice |
after simply saving an illustration
i get this error.
It seems i get it across both my systems
uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator (AiCC18)
i still get it...
seems to not affect the files them selves...(all seems well)
Just seems to be a bit anoying...kai
†6 votesThe issue seems to be file corruption, our support should be able to recover some of the information when you contact them. A file normally corrupts when the disk is not available during file wrote or when Illustrator crashes. We also do not support network drives which is prone to file corruption when writing large files.
Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.Warm Regards,

Cannot open multiple files
- Version 21.1.0 (windows)
- Selecting multiple files, right clicking to open all files
- Expected results that all files open the same way I have been opening files for years.
- Only one file opens and locks illustrator, need to close out program through task manager, restart computer and that sometimes fixes the issue. If not I have to uninstall and reinstall illustrator and that fixes the issue for a day or two.

Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export
I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:
- Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
- Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
- Create a new layer, Layer 2
- Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")
- Select Layer 1 and Layer 2 in the…

v27.8.1 - Random files having images corrupted upon file save
Mac OS 13.5.1 / Illustrator 27.8.1 / Apple Studio M1 Max
After updating from 27.7 > 27.8.1 files saved in native .ai format (pdf compatibility) with embedded images are randomly becoming corrupted (does not happen to all documents). The files will open up in illustrator just fine, and appear normal, but the image preview and rasterizing into photoshop will show the included images with blank white space, or areas of garbled distortion. The corrupted files will also fail to process on our RIP. This has appeared on 2 different computers immediately following the update. This has been alleviated completely by…

AIT file does not open as a new AI file when opening from One Drive.
I updated to Adobe Illustrator V26.0.3 today. And now AIT file opens as AIT file.
It should open as a new AI file when opening from AIT file since it is a template.
FYI, I am using MacBook Pro M1 2020, and MacOS Motley V.12.1.
Doen anyone getting the same problem?
---Additional Comment---
After testing, I found out that this is happening when I open an AIT file from my One Drive folder.
When I copied AIT file on my desktop, then it opened as a new AI file as it was used be.

Copy/paste SVG missing closing > bracket
Illustrator 25.3.1 64 bit Windows 10 v21H1
Copy/Paste in this version is now missing ending ">" closing bracket noticeably when pasting as svg directly into text based editor such as vscode or notepad.
Example:
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 432 432"><rect width="432" height="432"/></svg*note the missing greater than closing bracket. This has to be added manually on every copy/paste to editor.
