  2. (MacOS) Finder window freezes when trying to save an Illustrator file

    When I try to save an illustrator file, the Finder window that pops up is frozen. None of the buttons are clickable. I've tried saving files with other apps, including Adobe apps like After Effects, and they can save files just fine - to the same folder even.

    Currently using the latest version of Illustrator.

    Things I've tried:
    - Resetting Illustrator preferences
    - Reinstalling Illustrator
    - Versioning down Illustrator
    - Deleting the com.illustrator cache folder
    - Relaunching Finder
    - Restarting the computer
    - Starting with a fresh Illustrator file
    - Opening an existing Illustrator file

    Any solutions? At the moment,…

  3. SVG export with Internal CSS and Layer names - not working suddenly in 26.2.1 - export does not contain layer names; omits some layers

    Illustrator 26.2.1 CC on Mac OS (Intel)
    Export used to export layer names with these settings.
    Now it unexpectedly exports shortened group names.
    How can I revert back to old Illustrator version?

  4. Exported files omit names of artboards

    When I selected the page range, the exporting file didn't have the artboard name. I am using the latest version on mac m1 max with the latest system. After reinstalling the older version, the problem has gone.

  5. SVGs exported with 0 decimals have incorrect viewBox dimensions

    When exporting the attached artwork as an SVG, the viewBox dimensions differ depending on whether or not the decimal precision is greater than 0:

    Precision 0: <svg viewBox="0 0 76 23">
    Precision 1: <svg viewBox="0 0 760 230">

    The contents of the artboard retain their original size; it's only the SVG's viewport that appears to be affected.

  6. dxfデータ・dwgデータを読み込むと形が崩れる

    Auto CAD LT2023で作成したdxfデータ・dwgデータをillustrator2022(バージョン26.3.1)で開くと形が崩れてしまいます。

    添付画像のように,一部のスプライン端点(恐らく閉じている部分)がillustratorで読み込むとアートボード左下部分に集まってしまい,大きく形が崩れます。

  7. このファイルを部分的にしか読み取ることができませんでした

    Win10HomeEdition

    規則性は不明ですが、リンクファイル等を用いているファイルを開く際に上記エラーが発生します。当該ファイルを作成したPCだと開けますが、他PCに移して開こうとすると上記エラーが発生する状況です。

    開くと実際に一部要素しか表示されません。

    もとの作成PCも開こうとしたPCもいずれも26.0.2を使用。
    最新verにアップロードしても同じ状況です。

  8. Adobe Illustrator: can't save the illustration, ID: -54.

    Same issue with some members here but I couldn't find solution. Can't save existing illustration file (in .pdf), have to "save as" new file. Really hope to get helps in detail showing how to fix this.

    1. Windows 10 Home - version 21H2, installed on this new computer on Apr. 8th 2022.
    2. Ai version 26.3.1 (latest version on Adobe Creative Cloud).
    3. The step: Saving an existing file (in .pdf). have to save as new file after even 01 modification in the file.
    4. Expected everything back to normal, can open file, make change(s) and just save it.
    5. File & video uploaded.

  9. Illustrator selecting Folder name and renaming file when saving into Folder

    When saving an Illustrator file - and InDesign also - I click the name of the folder that file is to go into and the filename changes to that folder's name. Why is this happening? Why was this not found when debugging these very expensive applications before throwing them at subscribers and hoping they will work? Really not professional. We pay far too much money for stupid things like this to happen. Needs to be fixed immediately. InDesign also.

  10. 別名保存後にJPG書き出しした際、JPGのタイトルが別名保存前の名称になる

    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    macOS Catalina 15.7
    Illustrator 26.0.3(2022)

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1 aiデータを開く(ファイル名 1.ai)
    2 別名保存する(ファイル名 2.ai)
    3 JPG書き出しをする(ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式→ファイル形式:JPG)
    4 保存されたJPGをFinderの「情報を見る」で情報を開く

    想定していた結果
    ファイル名、タイトル共に「2」となる

    実際の結果
    タイトルが別名保存する前の名前「1」となる

    業務のワークフローで、
    aiデータをJPG書き出し→フォトショップのドロップレットでPDF変換→
    PDFにキーワードをタグとして付与しフォルダに集める→必要な時にFinder上で検索
    という手順を行っています。

    PDFにする際、JPGのタイトルがそのままPDFのタイトルとなるようで、検索の際にタイトルでもヒットするため関係ないファイルも検索されてしまい困っています。Acrobatでタイトルの変更ができますが、ファイルの最終更新日時が変わってしまうので可能な限り避けたいです。

    数年前から同じような現象が起きているので、以前のバージョンから発生しているかもしれません。

    よろしくお願いします。

    OS でのファイル情報の「詳細情報」は、ファイルのメタデータのタイトルが参照されます

    Illustrator では「ファイル > ファイル情報...」メニューを選択し、ファイルのメタデータを設定変更できます。


    書き出しファイルにも、このメタデータが使用されますので、Illustrator の「ファイル情報」メニューで変更したメタデータのタイトルが、OS のファイル情報の詳細情報に反映されるかご確認ください。

  11. 中間色のあるグラデーションのあるPDFが正しく読み込めず色情報が消えてしまいます

    中間色がなければ正しく読み込めます。
    問題のPDFはインデザイン等で長方形を設定し塗りのグラデーションで中間色を設定すれば作成でき、PDFにエクスポートできます。
    編集をしたいので、"配置(Place)"以外の方法で解決したいです。

    t.takizawa 様、


    追加情報をありがとうございました。

    InDesign でグラデーションバーの100%の位置にカラーストップがセットされていない場合に、Illustrator で PDF を開いた時にグラデーションのカラーが消えてしまうようです。

    今後、開発に進捗がありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。

    よろしくお願いいたします。

  13. Crashes break CC linked assets in Recovered file.

    When Illustrator 26.2.1 on Win10 Pro 21H2 crashes, CC-linked files are always broken in the recovered file. Please allow recovery files to remember the CC assets we so carefully curate and use daily - otherwise, we need to always embed external drawings (which sucks). Thanks!

  14. New & Save As

    New & Save As is not working in Illustrator. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure all the preferences are the same, but there still seems to be the same issue. Is there going to be an update to fix this or is there something I can do my end to fix it? Thank you.

  16. このファイルを部分的にしか読み取ることができませんでした

    「可能な限りファイルを復元しましたが、一部のコンテンツが欠落している可能性があります。」

    とエラーメッセージが出て、開くと12ページほどあったアートボードが最初の1ページだけになっていました。
    30時間以上かけて作ったデータが謎のエラーで消えました・・・。

    自動保存されたデータはないのでしょうか?

  17. Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1

    Hello,

    I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

  18. Fonts fail to outline when exporting DXF file

    Windows 11, Illustrator 26.3.1
    I'm Exporting DXF files to a laser cutter. The outline font option in the export dialogue appears to be ineffective. Fonts aren't outlined and the font element doesn't appear in the exported file. All other elements are present. Outlining prior to export until I can downgrade to a previous version.
    Recent PC death forced me to upgrade from Illustrator 2015 (I think) which had no issue with outlining fonts.
