 It has always been a buggy application, but this version is ridiculous – it is so unusable that I am looking around for alternatives1 vote

Illustrator freezes when runs in a loop for 500 times. So inside loop only I am adding the document, saving to the disk and close the documeIllustrator freezes when runs in a loop for 500 times. So inside loop only I am adding the document, saving to the disk and close the document Here is the code for(var i=0;i<500;i++){ 
 var doc = app.documents.add();
 doc.saveAs(File('~/Desktop/Test'+(i+1)))
 doc.close();
 }
 Run, this code and you will never able to create 500 documents. I use automation a lot and in one go I have to loop over 1000 documents that have graphics inside it. BUt here in sample cript I am not doing nothing just crating 500 documents without any graphics, still Illustrator frezees.I have attached the screenshots for memory… 1 vote

Imported eps fonts are wrongImported eps fonts are wrong in Illustrator CC 2019 (and also at all other previous versions) 
 OS - Windows 7 64bit
 - I export a figure from Matlab with predefined font name (Arial) but Illustrator consistently opens it as Helvetika.
 When the image is opened in Acrobat the font is actually Arial.
 See the attached figure for the bug. The same image opened in actobat / illustrator.1 vote

Crash in windows 10 64-bit when using trackpad to scroll in layers panelI've crashed twice today, both times while scrolling the layers panel down using the track pad. Two fingers on the track pad and start scrolling and crash. All changes to open files get lost as there is no recovery files to open. It is a hard crash, no bug report screen pops up, the app just aborts. 1 vote

Bug in pasting of metafile data from clipboardIllustrator misinterprets data from a image exported to the clipboard as metafile. It inverses color of certain parts of the image after paste. 
 This problem is occurring in Creative Cloud CC2018 and CC2019. It is a bug that has been present in many previous versions of the Adobe suite, at least since CS6.
 Running Windows 10 pro 1903 (18362.239)
 The effect of the bug is demonstrated in the attached Word file.1 vote

Most recent changes not showing when opening up the PDF file in updated CCI have the most updated Adobe Illustrator. When someone is using an older version of CC and I open up the saved PDF file in my updated version, it doesn't show the changes that were made to the PDF file by the someone that has the older version of CC. I even had them try adjusting the settings in the PDF such as, "smallest file size", "optimize for web", "Illustrator Default", etc..but no luck. 1 vote

can't open file properlyv23.03 I can't open some file It hangs on interface background, it shows all layer of my file on my layer tab but I can't see any of my illus, I try to switch on-off the eye in front of the layer and it can't help. 
 So, I downgrade to v23.02 and all the problem are gone and I think you should fix it before this bug goes with the future version.1 vote

 Mojave 10.14.5
 imac (retina 5k, 27-inch, 2017)
 3.8 GHz Intel Core i5
 64 GB 2400 Mhz DDR4 Ram

Text becomes impossible to edit after several minutes of having the program openWorking on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and Illustrator 23.0.4. After working in the program for a few minutes, transform controls no longer appear around text boxes when selected (show transform controls does not fix the issue). Text attributes are then buggy when applied (tracking will not apply to selected word, can't change font). Shortly after, I can no longer select text boxes at all. I'm a graphic designer and this issue is hurting my productivity greatly. Please provide a solution! 1 vote

File open error messageThis bug recently started happening when I first open Illustrator, then open first file. This message pops up twice. After that, the file will open without a problem, and Illustrator will work without a problem. Subsequent files will open without a problem. If I close and restart Illustrator, the bug happens again in the same way. 1 vote

Moving artwork generates copies along its pathAfter spending hours on a logo design, I selected all of the art, resized it to fit the canvas, and then moved it over a few spaces to the right. When moving the artwork to the right, illustrator began to generate copies of the art every time I tapped the right arrow key. This mass copying then made the application crash. I am able to open the file but my layers now have hundreds of sublayers in each of them! I have used illustrator for years and never seen this before. I am running on Windows 10 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770… 1 vote
