Problem with elements' IDs when export to SVG Sometimes when I export an AI file with some elements' names to an SVG file, it renames the IDs like if there are some duplicates.
Usually I can fix it by renaming the "duplicate" elements with a dummy name and then rename them back, but often it doesn't work and I have to delete the file and work on a new one, copying and pasting only the "safe" elements and redrawing the "duplicate" ones.
Sometimes it appends a special character on the IDs and when it happen I always have to work on a new file.
Version: 24.0.2 (64 bit,…

Wrong fonts when importing PDF When opening a PDF in Ai, (almost) all text becomes the font 'Montserrat' despite the correct fonts are loaded. There were no errors, and it doesn't gives any 'missing fonts' errors either.

Alternative glyph (made with Fontself 3.5) don’t shown in text, when not installed in OSX or restart AI I have a problem testing a new font. I create a font (Fonstelf 3.5.0) with character “a” and an alternative “a.alt” glyphs. I installed the new font just local for/in Adobe Illustrator CC 2020. In the window “Glyphes” I can see my alternative characters. But when I enter a text with the text tool, I only get “a” instead of “a.alt” which I selected in window “Glyphes”. I save my test.ai document.
After install the font with font book in the OSX 10.14.6 I can use and see “a.alt”. Funny fact: After installing the font and re-open test.ai document, the…

Backwards Compatibility Illustrator 2020 appears to have sacrificed backwards compatibility with even Illustrator 2019. This change is detrimental to working across teams on large scale projects.

Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF. I have created a sunburst shape in illustrator using a circle shape, then adding a dashed like stroke. The file looks totally fine in illustrator and also when I save it as a PNG and JPG, but when I save it as a PDF the sunburst is distorted (uneven lines). I even sent an illustrator file to a printer and my prints arrived distorted, which means they had the same problem. They are also using the latest version of illustrator. Is this a bug?
The larger file shows the…

SAVE issues "SAVE AS" does not work. It actually acts more like, "SAVE A COPY". It also refuses to save files as AI. The only way I can save my work is if I choose PDF or EPS. So many other small annoying glitches. When drawing a line, it acts like "snap to" is enabled.

File deletes off NTFS file server At work we use Macs running macOS 10.15.3 and Illustrator CC 2020 (24.0.3) with working files stored on a SMB (NTFS) share volume.
If we open an Illustrator file though macOS Finder window and then work on it and save the file, if the Finder window is still open it will delete the file and give an error. In order not to lose the work we have to save as with a different name. This only happens when the Finder window is still open showing the file we are working on, if the window is closed then this is not…

Illustrator randomly "Saves as..." (Bug) As the subject line says... This behavior started only recently, occurring a couple of times a day. There is the phrase "Saving" followed by the file name which appears in shadowed Myriad type behind the save dialog. I have attached a screenshot along with my system info. Very weird and a touch unsettling. Thank you.

Attempting to Save an Illustrator File causes Mac to Restart. This has happened almost every time I have tried to save a large Illustrator file. It is pretty much a lottery as to if the file will save or if I have to start again or recover what I have lost. I don't know what is the cause or how to fix it.

Unreliable EPS export from CC 2020 If I export a multilayered Illustrator file as an EPS from CC 2020, layers are not saved with the correct ones activated when the EPS is opened in Illustrator once again.
When I complete the same task in CC 2019 the layers are saved correctly.
This means that CC 2020 is not usable in its current state as a reliable production tool for generate EPS files.

Save artboards as individual files - File name bug When I try to save an .ai and check "Save each artboard as a seperate file"
Illy should create each file with my chosen file name, plus appended with the name of each artboard.
Except sometimes it fails to append the correct artboard name. I always rename my artboards, and sometimes it just adds the default dartboard name.I'm on:

macOS Catalina 10.15.2 (19C57)and,

"Save As..." behaving like "Save a Copy..." Mac Catalina, Illustrator 2020. Anyone else experiencing this? Go to do a Save As and it saves a copy instead and keeps you in the original file? So annoying.

EPS files look slightly off in working document and exported files for web We have used .eps files for our logos for many years with no issues. Now, .eps files placed into a document (usually logos) appear just slightly off -- sometimes it will be the rounding of one of the letters, or a little chunk off the side of some letters. Some of the letters may appear to be outlined or thicker than others. In some cases, the issue is so subtle it isn't caught before going to print. Registered trademark symbols are often corrupted.
