  1. Symbol swatches on network drives won't stay persistent

    We store our color and symbol swatches on a network drive. If we set our color swatches to be persistent, they automatically load whenever we restart Illustrator. This is not the case with symbol swatches. We have to reload manually every time. We expect them to operate the same way as color swatches. Please fix. Running Win 10/11 and the latest Illustrator.

  2. "Other option" for text in Properties panel slow down PC

    Illustrator beta 29.5 35
    When I try to open "other option" for text in the property panel the software slow down very much, I mean it freeze for at least 10 seconds and it happens every time. If I use the usual full Text panel no problems, but normally using the Properties is easier to have all in the same place, so it's a bit frustrating.
    I link the screenshot ot the software frozen after clicking the button.

  4. プリントに選択したページは全て空白です

    Illustrator 2025(29.3)で、アートボードを印刷しようとすると「プリントに選択したページは全て空白です」 というエラーが出て印刷ができない。リンクオブジェクトにリンクを配置した際、リンク元となるデータが.aiのファイルで、かつそのリンク元のレイヤー内でリンクオブジェクト(確認したケースでは埋め込みリンク)のみが表示されており、その他のパスなどの要素が表示されていない場合にこの現象がおきた。

  8. Inconsistent stroke value

    It didn't seem to be a problem before, but when I have two closed shapes that read and are supposed to have the same stroke value, but they appear to be completely different values.

  9. Text converting to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025

    Text is getting converted to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025, even though I am NOT selecting that option. This is bad for SEO and accessibility and needs to be fixed asap.

  11. Join Tool and overlapping paths - strange behavior

    Hello, UserVoice and Illustrator community!

    Join tool make strange behavior - problem with overlapping paths.

    I took a ready-made example with an umbrella from a pink outline.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/join-tool.html

    I used the join tool as in the example, everything is fine (it connected the intersecting outlines and the overlapping ones too).

    Then I moved the green element a little and the join tool started to behave strangely.
    Example on the top right (dark turquoise umbrella).
    The intersecting outlines worked well.
    But the overlapping ones - I did some nonsense, I got a loooong tail.

    I also moved the green element and…

  12. Bug - Variable Concept fonts do not show on screen or in output

    Mac OS 15.3.2
    Illustrator 28.4.5
    Plugins: Esko DeskPack Essentials 24.07; extensis Connect Fonts 27.0.0

    Variable Concept fonts do not show. The text box is visible when I change to View Outlines. I can select the text lines and see the colour and font information; the text does not appear on screen or in output. Our only solution is to quit Illustrator and restart. This seems to fix the view issues, but we now have to quit/restart multiple times per day.

  20. Layers palette filter grabs focus when pressing Ctrl-C

    Pressing Ctrl-C to copy something activates the focus on the filter field in the Layers palette. Using keyboard shortcuts becomes a landmine when this happens because you can inadvertently turn off layers or, in some cases, slow Illustrator way down by pasting SVG data into the field (Ctrl-V often follows pressing Ctrl-C). When the latter happens, Illustrator tries to filter by the text in the field, and it can take quite a while sometimes to regain focus enough to clear out the field. More often than not, however, I have to force quit and restart.

    A potential side effect of…
