  1. Illustrator doesn't find color profile, which are shown in Indesign

    Hi everybody,

    I installed an eci color profile (pso-coated_v3) on my windows 10 computer (right-mouse-click, then install). In Photoshop CC and Indesign CC everything is fine, so it is installed correctly. But the new profile isn't shown in Illustrator CC.

    I reopened Illustrator and also de- and reinstalled it...

    Does anybody has got an idea, why the new profile doesn't show in in the color-settings of Illustrator?

    Thanks a lot!

    Best wishes
    Rene

  3. Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths

    I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.

    Adobe Illustrator CC (latest) Windows 10 64bit

    Steps:
    1. Open the attached AI file (which was converted from SVG by opening then saving in Illustrator).
    2. Select any part of the logo.
    3. Copy using Edit -> Copy or CTRL+C
    4. Paste using Edit -> Paste or CTRL+V
    5. The application…

  5. Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only

    This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

    Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

    OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

    Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

    For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

    Basically:

    When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it…

  6. Text Converted to Outlines Upon Copy in 2026 with Keyboard Maestro Installed

    Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.0)
    macOS Sequoia 15.7.1
    Keyboard Maestro 11.0.4

    When copying a live text object in Adobe Illustrator 2026 (point type, area type, type on a path objects), pasting with CMD+V or Edit > Paste converts the text into outlines when Keyboard Maestro Mac automation software is running.

    Quitting Keyboard Maestro Engine stops the behavior so that copying and pasting gives live text in the pasted object.

    Disabling com.adobe.svg as a clipboard copy flavor also fixes the problem, allowing copy and paste to preserve live text instead of creating outlines.

    This problem does not occur in Illustrator 2025 (29.8.3)…

  7. PDF Export for Screens saving full document even thought multiple files selected

    When you 'Export for Screens' as a range or tick certain artboards to export as PDF. These exported PDFs opens the full document rather than just the selected artboard. This happens when you open an exported PDF artboard in Illustrator 2026, but if you open it in 2025 version it opens as it should.

  9. Command+V not working in Pantone Connect

    I just had an automatic update for Illustrator version [30.0], and since then, copying the hex code and pasting with shortcut Command+V is not working in the Pantone Connect extension. It seems that it is working with a right click of the mouse, but does anyone have an idea why the shortcut is not working anymore, as this was way faster?
    I'm on Apple M4 Pro 24GB Version 15.6.1 (24G90).

  10. Illustrator 2026 (30.0) saved files contain a large amount of blank space.

    OS: windows 21H2
    Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.0) (desktop)

    In Adobe Illustrator 2026 (version 30.0), files saved with default settings are significantly larger than those from the previous version. Before saving, the action “Delete Unused Panel Items” is executed to remove all unnecessary elements (the Save Options panel as Figure 1).
    A comparison of file sizes with version 29 (with identical content, Figure 2) confirms this increase. When the file is opened as a text document (Figure 3), it reveals a substantial amount of whitespace.

  12. Image links broken in Illustrator 29.8 for different users

    We work as a team on Windows, files are linked from an area like "C:\Users\UserName\SharedDrive\" where the user name changes based on the team member.

    Illustrator 29.4 can handle this change. For example, if Jane and I are working on the same file, she can place a file with a link C:\Users\Jane\SharedDrive\file name.jpg, and when I open the file, Illustrator updates the link to C:\Users\Sarah\SharedDrive\file name.jpg with no issues.

    Jane updated to Illustrator 29.8.2 and suddenly all her links appear as missing on my computer. I tried also updating to 29.8.2 and links remained broken. We both downgraded to 29.4…

  13. Libraries Panel coming up black v 29.8.2

    Libraries Panel is coming up black in v29.8.2 on MacBook Pro M1 2020, iOS 15.5 (24F74). I checked my CC app and can see everything there, but the panel won't do anything in Illustrator.

  14. Releasing Shift when resizing an area type with Alt+Shift (but still holding Alt) makes the text jump

    Take a look at the GIF attached.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Create an area type, enable bounding box, click and drag a corner marker with Selection tool
    2. Hold Alt + Shift to proportionally resize the area from its center
    3. Change your mind!
    4. Release Shift while still holding Alt and the mouse key — while still moving the cursor

    Some splitting happens — the frame of the bounding box follows the cursor, but the rendered frame with the text stays in the previous registered location.

    The faster you move the mouse — the larger is the gap.…

  15. Ai crashed and the recovered file is missing changes made in last 2 hours

    Illustrator just crashed after 10 hours of work!!!!!! It recovered the file, but only at the stage I was probably at after just 2 hours — the rest is completely lost! I checked everything, and it saved approximately nothing!!!! I'm furious right now!

  18. Error in startup script with InDesign path, line: 1 I/0 error since latest update 29.8.2

    This error pops up on every Illustrator startup now:

    Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts
    CC\Adobe InDesign\indesign-v20.0.jsx
    Line I:
    I/0 error

    Tried reinstalling Creative Cloud and all apps using CC cleaner, no effect. Tried resetting preferences, no effect. Renaming the .jsx file helps but it's not recreated and presumably has some purpose (removing a similar one for Photoshop breaks Bridge Batch actions for instance).

  19. Preview issues with Home recent files and Placed files not properly showing all artwork.

    Home recent files not populating with updated artwork previews. For example: I use a personal file template, make changes, save as new, and the new file does not populate an updated preview on the home screen. Second, when placing an AI file in another AI file some of the assets are missing in the place file and/or moved and distorted - even though when I open the original file everything looks fine.

  20. Share for Review links are not working for my stakeholders

    I just updated to v29.8.2 yesterday and now all of my share for review documents cannot be viewed by anyone but me. The links are set to "anyone with this link can comment" but when they try to open the file it says "404 asset not found". I have tried regenerating the link and it did not solve the problem. This is happening with multiple people using mac and windows computers.
