Illustrator file not changing modification time and date after image link updating
When I modify a photoshop image and illustrator automatically updates the link you can close the file without saving so it recognized the image link modification but did not require a save when closed. at this point file date and time do not update to current image replacement. this poses a serious problem in the commercial print industry. Archiving files is based on modification dates and times. If you don't update time and date on file with new image placed it has not
been modified for archive. This is something that has changed in the recent cloud series updates. It…2 votes -
PDF Import Problem
Opening a PDF in Illustrator 2019 23.1.1 - I select which page I want to open eg. 2 of 2, and it only opens the first page (not the page I wanted). No I'm not inputing the page numbers in the preview page panel (just in case you think that I am).
Import PDF pages as links is 'unchecked'.
Troubleshooting:
1) It works correctly if I open 'all' page with 'links checked'.
2) It works correctly if I open 'all' pages with 'links unchecked'.2 votes -
The PDF is unprotected automatically after I save a protected file in Illustrator.
I had tried to open a protected PDF in illustrator and made some changes. After I clicked the "Save" button, I found that the PDF was not protected with password anymore. Could I keep it protected as original file do, without saving as a new file and protect it again? Thanks!

Receive PDF-X4 compatible PDFs when exporting X4 compatible
Files exported with X4 PDF standard do not get the X4 approval by the Acrobat preflight. It always mocks transparency color settings. Is there a setting that I'm missing or is it a built-in bug?

Export for Screens and Save for Web Anti-Aliases edges of Artwork based on non-round artboard coordinates
In the latest Illustrator, export for screens anti-aliases what should be sharp outer edges of artwork (even though, for example the artwork is in a 1080px x 1080px precisely placed clipping path which is aligned to the 0,0 coordinates of the artboard. I have confirmed that this occurs because the coordinates of artboards were non-round numbers (ex. 56.02 vs 56).
I have not previously experienced this, and regardless, this should be fixed... anti-aliasing should be tied to the artboard the artwork is on, not the position of the artboard on the underlying workspace.
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!

"Export for Screen" default folder is one specific folder and wont change
When i use "export for screens" the default export location is one specific folder on my desktop, if i move that folder or put it in the trash, the default export location will change accordingly to "follow" the location of the folder.
This happens for all files, also if i create a new file. A screenshot of this phenomenon is attachedFor reference, im on MacOS Mojave 10.14 and (the newest) Illustrator (CC 2019) 23.0.6
small disclaimer, the problem might occur because my mac-user has a slightly corrupted file system, stems from changing the username and using a different adobe…

Text with small caps is not exported correctly to SVG
When setting the small caps variant to a piece of text, this information gets lost on SVG export.
How to reproduce (Winx64, 23.0.3):
- Create a new document
- Add some text, e.g. "Some Text"
- Activate the small caps property for the text
- Export the document to SVG via File -> Export -> Export As...In the resulting SVG document, the text does not appear as small caps but instead is capitalized, e.g. "SOME TEXT".
Expected behaviour: the text should appear with small caps with the help of the font-variant: small-caps; CSS attribute.

Illustrator file closes without warning/saving if accidentally re-opened while canceling errors
If you unintentionally open an Illustrator file to open it but realize it was one that was already open, it's possible to lose any changes you've made to that file without warning.
Steps to repeat:
1. Open a file that results in a dialog box to show before completely opening (mismatched color profile, missing links, etc).
2. Modify the document in some way, but do not save it.
3. Return to Explorer and open the file again.
4. When the Illustrator brings up a dialog box, click cancel instead of ok.
5. The document you had open will close without…2 votes -

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.

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)

Can't open a second illustrator file by double clicking
If I double click on a .ai file to launch illustrator and work on that file immediately, everything works fine. but if, after that, I try to do the same with a second or third .ai file, they won't open. the only way to open multiple files is to first launch illustrator (without double clicking an existing file) and then open the .ai files I want to work on.
it is very annoying and it has been reported many times, but adobe claims to have fixed it with the latest version (23.0.3) which is not true.

Change saving process to equal Indesign / Photoshop's
As you likely know, Illustrator and Google Backup & Sync are not working a long. Discussions with lame work arounds are given, but maybe you can just use the same saving method as Photoshop or Indesign. These programmes work fine with Google Drive / backup & sync, so why not use that method instead?
