AI 28.1 - Error Message in Acrobat when saving files with transparencies
When I save as a PDF using anything other than PDFx I get an error when the file opens in Acrobat. It seems the issue has to do with masked vectors and transparency.

Last used SVG export settings not retained
When saving a lot of SVG files that use the same settings, it would be great if Illustrator remembered the last used setttings after you have quit the app and restarted it the next day.
I have attached a screenshot showing the desired settings. However, Illustrator does not remember the SVG font subsetting, image location and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' options.
The SVGs are saved using the Save As… dialogue window with 'Use Artboards' selected.
I am using Illustrator 27.8 on Mac OS 12.7.2.

Replace File doesn't work (creates new file)
I opened an EPS file, made changes, and then saved. When I saved I was alerted that the file already existed and asked if I wanted to replace the file. I selected Replace. However, Illustrator ignores my selection and creates a new file with '-01' amended onto the end of the file name.

Insufficient data for an image
Saving as .PDF from .AI gives me this warning if I am using any type of image (.JPG, .PSD, .TIFF, .PSB) over 100MBs. When the PDF starts to open in Acrobat the warning comes up.
Machine: Mac Studio 13.5.1 (22G90)
Illustrator 27.8.1I solved the problem by going back to version 27 and exporting one of the files that I was having issues with.

Opening the already opened illustrator file leads to loss of work.
When I am working on the file (example file1.ai) and if I go to explorer and open the same file1.ai again, I m losing all the work I did on the already opened file and it opens the file fresh again.

File Folder Permanent Deletion Bug
I was opening up a file, and right clicked on a folder to rename it. My finger slipped, and I clicked "move to trash" which is right next to "rename"
The folder disappeared.
Ctrl Z did not restore it
IT WAS NOT IN THE TRASH.
It was GONE.
Please investigate why files/folders are PERMANENTLY DELETED if you attempt to rename them in the open file menu and slip and hit 'move to trash' by simple mistake, or at least give a warning about PERMANENT DELETION. I am very upset to have lost a couple hours' work this way.
Edit: The…

Fail to export. Transparency: Other options?
Illustrator fails to export artwork correctly when "Other Options" showing under Opacity in Appearance palette. This artwork was created via legacy 3d extrude. It was also 'pathfindered' and 'eyedroppered,' the latter with Appearance checked.
Attaching screenshots showing state of palettes and result in legacy Save for Web dialog. Same result in Export for Screens. Also attaching source file.

SVG embedded images not showing up in 2023 version
I am having an issue with reopening an already-saved .svg file, with an embedded image in the file. The image is not showing up when I re-open it in Illustrator 2023. This has me thinking that I did not save the svg correctly - choosing for the image within the svg to be embedded - when I go to File<Save As<SVG. But when I go to check the same file in Illustrator 2022 or in Inkscape, the embedded image is in fact there.
So this makes me think this is an Illustrator 2023 bug?1 vote -
Illustrator exports SVG with font set to ArialMT
When we export artwork from Illustrator with text formatted with the Arial font, the SVG code has the font set to ArialMT (the old Postscript name). This generally isn't a problem unless the image is displayed on a system that does not have the ArialMT font installed.
Short of changing the SVG code, is there anyway of preventing Illustrator from using the old Postscript name for the Arial font.
It seems to be same with artwork created on MacOS and Windows.
Inkscape does not have this problem.

Export for Screens does not remember color model format settings for JPG 100, JPG 80, etc.
When Illustrator is closed, it forgets the color model that was chosen for exporting JPEGs with Export for Screens.
For reference of how this setting is accessed:
File > Export > Export for Screens
Then in the Formats area, click the gear icon.
In the column, select any of the JPG formats (JPG 100, JPG 80, et cetera).
Then there is a drop-down labeled "Color Model" that allows you to choose between CMYK, RGB, and grayscale.If you select RGB then click "Save Settings" it will remember the setting while Illustrator is open. But when you close Illustrator, and open…

Autosave not working
In the latest update from Illustrator, my auto save is not working (despite being selected in Preferences).
I've lost at least three hours' worth of work in the past two weeks. I habitually save, but if I only remember once every half hour or hour and then Illustrator crashes (which it also keeps doing) none of my work is being recovered.In the eight years I have been using this program, that has never happened.
What gives? Major waste of my time and also irritating AF

Illustrator fails to export all text into final pngs or jpegs
I have been exporting images with text layers and I've noticed Illustrator seems to indiscriminately not export certain lines of text (not layer groups to be clear, but random lines of text). I don't know how to replicate this issue because it appears random, but I did include pngs of the file that I had this issue with most recently.

a bug about importing vectorgraph
After importing a vector graph (pdf file), the vector graph appears very weird in the Adobe illustrator 2021. The imported pdf file seems to be covered with mosaics.
My PC is Macbook 2022 M2 . Previously, all look very well in another computer (Intel chip). I have no idea about what this bug should be attributed to? my computer system or Adobe illustrator 2021?

Black objects in clipping mask are not exported to SVG
Hi,
I created two same artboards with rectangle and text in clipping mask (the mask is important). The only difference is fill of objects – one is black and second red. Then I exported both artboards to SVG using Export for Screens feature (setup attached, but any other setup produces same result). Red version is exported correctly but the black one creates empty SVG file.
I checked SVG code of both files. If the object has any color except of black, code will include fill parameter for each object. But if object is black, code will skip the fill parameter…

Share for a review can't update
When I try to update the file In Illustrator so the last changes are applied I get this message: there was an error updating the artefact. It happens occasionally but when I try second time to update mostly it works. This is the first link I cannot update for a review, I have at least 10 other jobs I share with 20 other people and they all work.
