Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac crashes when opening file
My idea is for Adobe to actually fix the problem; I've followed every linked fix to the letter and Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac will open normally. But, when I try to open any file, I get the spinning pinwheel of death and have to Force Quit (Not Responding). Please provide an actual fix. Thanks

svg not opening correctly in Illustrator CC
When opening a .svg file Illustrator (creative cloud 2018) is opening a blank canvas. However a co-worker who is working off a previous version of illustrator (2015 I think) is able to open the file correctly.

Save for web - image size percentage not working
When using save for web option, the image size percentage is not changing even when a new number is put in there. It is only saving as 100%. Sometimes it allows me to increase the percentage, but more times then less it saves as 100% no matter what number I type in there. I am using the creative cloud version.

Importing Multiple Page PDF
When importing multiple page PDFs the sizing changes when you embed to work on the files. It is a small change but a change nonetheless. i.e. my 1.4" became 1.5". Something that you will not notice until it's too late. Importing single pages has no problems.

AI from PDF keeps old thumbnail/preview
I often get someone's source documentation in PDF.
Yes, we should get source. No, it seems we can't get the soruce.
So - I open the PDF in Illustrator and save the useful chunks - graphics mostly - as separate files in .ai format, pdf-compatable.
For whatever reason, those docs usually will not preview correctly in Win Explorer or when browsing from ID to place as a graphic.
It seems there's some preview/thumbnail info from the original PDF that lingers in the AI file - even though it was a multi-page file, and I'm only using a piece of it…

Exporting Issue
Whenever I go to export a file, the exported image shows a non existent image/layer that is not in or showing on the document when open.
The first image below shows what I export from illustrator, the second is what I screenshot inside the file, aka what I'm trying to have as the exported image.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help out a guy with no ideas on how to fix it.
Thank you

Sizes and coordinates get distorted in SVG export
Adobe Illustrator CC on Mac OS
I composed a graphic in Illustrator to use as a SVG Sprite in CSS. To make sure all my sprites render sharply I aligned my vectors to full pixel coordinates and sizes. Unfortunately those same coordinates end up on some slightly odd positions in the source of the exported SVG.
I used the "Export as..." function with Decimals set to 2.2 votesI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

PDF size is extremely large

When I save a file as PDF or even the original Ai. format the file becomes extremely large. This started to occurred after the latest update. The file contains 2 small artboards with a little bit of text (not much) and a few small icons, its 43 MB! it should be 10 MB or less.
The same happens when saving as PDF with (Illustrator default settings) File is TOO big, even if I change the settings of the PDF, it might drop to 15 MB.

Can´t save an open document!!
When I try to save an open document, AI say´s it can´t save as the file is open.
Well, obviously it is open, as I am working on it!
I have to rename the file. Then when I try to save the new file, same thing happens and I have to keep renaming files if I want to save my work.
Surely this is a bug.
Is this happening to anyone else??!
