Default saving SVGs to profile 1.1 Tiny
We develop an image set of currently 42,000 SVG files for our software.
It is important that the file format is 1.1 Tiny, not 1.1.
When creating and editing files illustrator keeps resetting to 1.1 in the save dialogue. Also when I open a file, edit and click save, sometimes it is also saves as 1.1. This is causing lots of problems.
Is there or can you add a way to make the 1.1 tiny profile default? or even remove the other profiles completely?1 vote -
BUG- Illustrator crashing at least once a day- usually when saving a normalized pdf
Use illustrator to apply art to Artios files- save file as normalized pdf, and it crashes almost every time it is saving. Have to restart. Recent files are not up to date, at least 5 day lag. Illustrator also very slow to open files.

Relink error
Illustrator 2019 gives an error, more often than not, when re-linking a graphic.
It has always been a buggy application, but this version is ridiculous – it is so unusable that I am looking around for alternatives1 vote -
Imported eps fonts are wrong
Imported 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 -
Bug in pasting of metafile data from clipboard
Illustrator 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 -
Illustrator is Saving files as a PDF by default.
Illustrator has been saving some of my large files as PDFs rather than Illustrator files (when I am just pressing Cmd+S) and the file is definitely not a PDF to begin with. This is frustrating because anything outside of the artboard is no longer in the file, the file must be opened as individual artworks, and all of the text is saved as individual letters in cases where text is typed along a path, or it's saved as individual words.

"Recent files" shows the thumbnail of a password protected PDF file.
I expect to not see the thumbnail of a password protected file. Maybe just have a lock image like in the OS?

White is invisible in JPG after Export for screens from CMYK color space
I had an issue when Exporting from a CMYK document with the Export for Screens... Option. I exported an artboard with a white (0, 0, 0, 0) logo on a black (0, 0, 0, 100) background and it turned out as a completely black JPG. I tried to change Export settings and colors but it always turned out wrong. As soon as I changed the color space to RGB it worked correctly.

insanely-bloated file size with placed images
Placing a 4.2 mb JPEG in Illustrator document (with little or no text or vector art) results in a file size of over 40 mb. Adobe dismisses this as "expected behavior" and closes the case with no effort to fix an obvious problem.
An Illustrator document with 47 mb of placed JPEGs and nominal text and vector art yields a 513+ mb document! An 18-page (1-side print) PDF produced from this document was 523 mb. WAY too big to send via e-mail or FTP, the client had to come to my office with a thumb drive and download it from…3 votes -
File Names Fail To Save with Fullstops
If a file name, entered in the New Document modal, has fullstops in the name in the beginning of the string, for example, a date " 19.07.11 Web Banner.ai " the user will find, when they go to save the file that the filename will not be saved as it was entered.
No characters after the 2nd full stop will be shown, forcing the user to type out the entire string again.

Saving dialogue box is persistent above all other apps and windows (mac)
I think the Illustrator save dialogue box that persists above all other windows on my mac, should not stay above all apps and windows - should stay top of stack within the illustrator environment only

svg import - Support of class assignments at group level
AI 23.0.3 on Win 10
We tried to open a svg created with another tool in AI but there are always display problems. So we compared svg code created in both tools of a filled rectangle and a line.
AI ignores the settings of the svg because of NO support of class on group level (g class). CSS is also not always read well.Is there a possibility to fix this problem?

Opening duplicate document with broken links closes original
Steps:
1) Try to open an already open file and get the "This document is already open; create another window for the document?" prompt.
2) Select "No"
3) Still get "Could not find linked file..." warning with "Replace / Ignore / Cancel" options.
4) If you select Cancel (most obvious selection as per above "No" don't open another version of this document), the original version of this file also closes, with no "Save changes" prompt or anything. Any changes are subsequently lost.
This is very unintuitive UX and is a very costly mistake to make.

Svg export
Hi! I met with you at CreativePro conference in Seattle. I would like to see more control when exporting svg from Illustrator. More specifically, the ability to remove the title tag when exporting. If not, that's ok, the svgomg site cleans up svg code well. Thank you!
2 votesHi Beth,
Thanks a lot for reporting the issue here. We are currently looking into when we write add the title element and when we don’t.
For more context: The problem you mentioned at CPro was the tool tip that shows up when hovering the mouse above an -embedded SVG document.
Greetings,

SVG: RTL text is shifted
We have tried to import correct SVG with RTL text. The SVG looks ok in browsers(Chrome, FireFox). If we just open the SVG file in Adobe Illustrator the RTL text will be shifted to the right. As we see Adobe Illustrator pre-processes SVG but the result looks incorrectly. Are there some specifics of RTL processing that we can take into account? We aspect to see the same SVG rendering as in browsers. (see attached file : as SVG files can not be attached, I've replaced .svg with .txt)

Thanks a lot for bringing this issue to our attention. We can confirm the issue and added it to our backlog.

Error reading SVG 1.2 files
SVG files generated by Avid Sibelius (music notation software) display perfectly well in Chrome, Safari and Firefox but is very distorted in Illustrator. Line paths are too big.
If I open the file in the SVG online editor at https://editor.method.ac/. them save it (without editing anything), I can the open it in Illustrator with almost no problems.
I'm including a sample file. Open it in Illustrator and Chrome to compare.

Importing a page from a multi-page PDF replaces the already imported one
Hi!
Ever since Illustrator 23 when opening a PDF with multiple pages with a document already open, the PDF opens into that open document and changes the artboard. At the same time it also opens a new empty document with the name of the PDF. It does not matter if I use open from the menu or if I use drag and drop... When no other file is open it behaves like it should and opens the PDF correctly.
Please provide a solution...
thanks,
best regards,
Roger

Save for web values bug
This is a bug, not an idea. This affects Photoshop, too.
In the Save for Web dialog, when punching in new values, those values do not commit unless you manually select something else before hitting Save.
For example, if I punch in a different value under Image Size > Percent, I cannot just hit Enter or Tab then Enter and have it save at the percentage specified.
