Password Protection in PDF file disappears after changes and saving a PDF file
When we password protect PDF in Illustrator the Password protection disappears if we make some changes and just save the file without put in the password again. Same if we open an pdf file with password protection, make changes and just save the file the password disappears. We didn't need to put in password eveytime when we saved the file after put in a password on earlier version. Is this something wrong with the new version or shall it be like this? Please put back old function or make a pop up box that ask for password if the file…

SVG files not properly being displayed in Adobe Illustrator
SVG files are not opening properly in Adobe Illustrator. I can open them in browsers or in Inkscape with no issue. When I open them up in Adobe Illustrator, they are rendered and displayed incorrectly.

This file has been modified outside of Illustrator
Just like the title says. This is a really annoying problem. It happens every time when I save to Onedrive or when I use Illustrator files from the Google Drive File Stream. This is a long term problem for me and many others. Even tough people mark their problem as solved, it isn't.

Files save status (*) asterisk in title bar/filename does not seem to work anymore.
Files save status (*) asterisk in title bar/filename does not seem to work anymore. The little asterisk by the filename used to tell you if changes had been made to the open file. After a Save or Save As the asterisk would disappear. Now, it seems to always be there. If I do a Cmd-S to save and then a Cmd-W to close, the software still prompts for a save, even though no changes have been made. This is different than the behavior in previous versions.

save change
I opened an existing Illustrator .ai file. Changed the colour of an object's stroke. Saved. Closed. Then I noticed the change was not there.
Repeated several times. Kept trying to make the change and command-s.
I could see the colour change when I changed the value, but saving did nothing. I noticed that after making the change, the red circle at the top left of the window did not get a black dot to indicate an unsaved change.
I finally did a Save As to make it remember the change. Using Illustrator 24.2 on Mac OS 10.13.62 votes -
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…

Illustrator is not exporting with the current file name
- Create a document
- Draw a rectangle (just for it to have something inside)
- Save it anywhere as '1.ai'
- Export a, say, TIF, with default settings (these don't really matter) — Ai will offer '1.tif' name for the file exported
- Save this document as '2.ai'
- Export another TIF — Ail will use '1.tif' name, although the file is now '2.ai' This is wrong. Ai should adapt the name from the file actual name and not the original one.

Saving a piece in PSD format
Every time i try to export my file into a photoshop format, the 'writing photoshop file' bar doesn't move and illustrator crashes for a couple of minutes then "Photoshop file could not be saved' pops up and the piece doesn't export. Ive tried exporting at lower ppis but that doesn't see to help the issue. The only way I was able to get past it was exporting it as a flat image. Which is quite inconvenient. I didn't have this issue yesterday, when i exported a similar piece. I also re-tried exporting a piece that i was able to do…

Illustrator 24.2 EPS title information changed to "Adobe Illustrator Artwork"
Previously when saving eps files, the "Title" information embedded within the file would be the filename. It appears that with version 24.2 the eps title information defaults to "Adobe Illustrator Artwork". Can this be corrected back to the filename? Our RIP uses this title information and now all our files are being processed with the same name.

When Using (File - Place) illustrator applies an unwanted clipping mask which is not present if opened normally.
I import lots of vectors and other files from various places on my computer and everytime I use the (File - Place) feature the vector I import has this unwanted clipping mask.
I find myself clicking ungroup - release clipping mask - ungroup - release clipping mask until the image is completely destroyed and I'm left with a bundle of gradient boxes and an outline of the original shape.

Default save location for "SAVE FOR WEB" in Illustrator 2020 (24.2)
Hello,
In version 24.2 of Illustrator the behavior of the SAVE FOR WEB (LEGACY) function has change. In version 24.1 and older, the default saving location vas the last saved location used, in version 24.2 it is the location where the Illustrator (.ai) file is located which is by default. I was wondering if this is a bug or voluntary choice because it affects my work flow considerably even if it may seem like a small detail. I understand the value of saving by default where the Illustrator (.ai) file is located, but I would like to choose the method…3 votes -

Opening a PDF Bug - Not visible until selecting workspace
I frequently open a PDF file in AI. Since updating to V24 (I run macOS Catalina v10.15.5 at the time of report, 6/15/20), if there are no files currently open, the artboard(s) will not be visible upon opening. I found a workaround, but it's still an inconvenience. To fix the issue, I select another workspace (which makes the file visible), and then return to my preferred workspace. However, the saved windows for that workspace are not visible until I zoom in on an artboard. After that, everything functions as normal and as expected, but the issue occurs every time I…

24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6
24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6.
Oddly enough there is some difference – the .AI doesn't seem to save at all, but saving from .AI to CS6 .EPS when opened after crash seems to have saved down successfully.

Creates "ai2483293123FileName.ai" files
I'm using 24.1.3 of Illustrator and I have come across these files popping up on my network drive. Are these now the "temp" files? Once these files are created, I can not delete them because Finder tells me it is currently being in use.
