1. Files don’t save! Saving starts and never finishes and can’t be cancelled

   The saving process starts as soon as I ask for it, but then it never finishes.
   This issue is happening since I download the latest version (29.7.1)

   The problem is not even letting me to close the program in the computer because "Illustrator is currently saving the document and will close it once the save process is complete" signal is appearing so I need to finish the task from the task administrator in the computer

2. PDF/X-4で書き出す際にダウンサンプルされる

   macOS14.7.2/Imac27inch i5/32GB mem/1TB ssd
   Illustrator ver29.5

   再現手順
   1.800ppiのモノクロ2開帳の画像をドキュメントに原寸で配置する。
   2.ファイル→コピーを保存を実行、PDF形式を選択し次のダイアログでプリセット「PDF/X-4:2008（日本）」を選択して保存する。
   3.PDFを開いて配置した画像を調べると300ppiにダウンサンプルされている。

   期待する結果
   800ppiのままダウンサンプルされずに保存される。

   実際の結果
   配置したビットマップ画像は300ppiにダウンサンプルされる。

   このプリセットでは実行解像度が1800ppiを超えた際に1200ppiにダウンサンプルされるように設定されている。配置状態で800ppiの画像はダウンサンプルの条件に当てはまらない為ダウンサンプルされてはいけない。
   また、300ppiという数値はモノクロビットマップ画像を取り扱うには致命的に低い解像度と言える。

   回避方法
   ビルトインのPDF/X-4プリセットは利用せず、同等のプリセットを自身で作成して利用する。その他、プリプレス関連メーカーが配布するPDF/X-4プリセットを利用しても良い。

   EN
   Step to reproduce
   1. Place an 800ppi monochrome bitmap image in the document in its original size.
   2. Select File→Save a copy, choose PDF format, and in the next dialog, select the preset "PDF/X-4:2008 (日本)" and save the file.
   3. Open the PDF file in Acrobat and check the placed image to find that it has been downsampled to 300ppi.

   Expected result
   The image is saved without being downsampled to 800ppi.

   Actual result
   The placed bitmap image is downsampled to 300ppi.

   The preset is set to downsample to 1200ppi when the resolution exceeds 1800ppi. Images with a resolution of 800ppi in the placed state should not be downsampled because they do not meet the conditions for downsampling.
   In addition, 300ppi is a fatally low resolution for handling monochrome bitmap images.

   Workaround
   Do not use the built-in PDF/X-4 preset, but create an equivalent preset yourself. You can also use PDF/X-4 presets distributed by prepress-related manufacturers.

3. Image Map URL Links Disappear in PDF Export

   Issue occurs in Illustrator 2025 (29.6) and later versions

   Description:
   URL links configured through the Attributes panel’s Image Map feature are not preserved in exported PDFs, despite enabling the “Preserve Hyperlinks” option in PDF export settings.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Create a new document
   2. Create an object (e.g., rectangle, text, etc.)
   3. Select the object and enter a URL in the Attributes panel → Image Map
   4. Create a new layer above the current layer
   5. Export as PDF with “Preserve Hyperlinks” enabled in export settings
   6. Open the exported PDF in Adobe Acrobat

   Expected Result:
   URL links should be clickable and functional in the exported PDF.

   Actual Result:
   URL links are missing/non-functional in the exported PDF.

   Root Cause:
   This bug occurs specifically when there is an additional layer positioned above the layer containing the object with the image map URL. Objects on layers without overlying layers export hyperlinks correctly.
   The issue occurs even when “Create Acrobat Layers” is unchecked.

   Workaround:
   Merge all layers into one before exporting to PDF.

   5. PDFを書き出す。その際に「ハイパーリンクを保持する」をチェックする
   6. PDFをAcrobatで開き、URLリンクが消失していることを確認する

   発生要件
   該当オブジェクトがあるレイヤーの上に別のレイヤーがあることでバグが発生します。該当オブジェクトがあるレイヤーが一番上にあると発生しません。
   「Acrobatレイヤーを作成」をOFFにしても発生します。

   回避方法
   すべてのレイヤーを1つに統合します。

4. PDF export without color conversion converts RGB images to CMYK

   This is a bug that occurs in Illustrator 2025 (29.2.1) and later.

   When an RGB image is placed as a linked file in a CMYK document, it gets converted to CMYK upon PDF export, even if "No Color Conversion" is selected. In Illustrator 2025 (29.2.0) and earlier, the image remained in RGB.

   This bug affects only PNG and JPG files. Other formats, such as PSD, remain in RGB.

   Steps to Reproduce

   1. Create a new CMYK document.
   2. Place an RGB image (PNG or JPG) as a linked file (do not embed).
   3. Export the document as a PDF with "No Color Conversion" selected.

   How to Verify That RGB Images Are Converted to CMYK in PDF

   1. Open the exported PDF in Acrobat.
   2. Go to Print Production > Output Preview.
   3. Set Preview to "Object Inspector."
   4. Click on an image in the PDF.
   5. The object information will be displayed, showing the actual color mode.

   You will see that the RGB image has been converted to CMYK, even though it should have remained in RGB.

   Issues

   Users who lack in-depth knowledge of color profiles rely on workflows where RGB images in PDFs are properly converted to CMYK at the output stage. However, with this bug, RGB images are automatically converted to CMYK during PDF export, meaning that any inappropriate color profile settings at the time of linking will carry over, making quality control at the output stage impossible.

   Additionally, this issue affects not only exported PDFs but also the embedded compatibility PDFs in AI files. When an AI file is placed as a linked document in InDesign, InDesign reads only the compatibility PDF, making it impossible to verify whether the AI file contains linked RGB images.

   Expected Behavior

   When exporting a PDF with "No Color Conversion" selected, linked RGB images should remain in RGB.

   カラー変換なしでPDFに書き出してもRGB画像がCMYKに変換される

   Illustrator 2025 (29.2.1) 以降で発生するバグです。

   CMYKドキュメントにリンク配置されたRGB画像が、カラー変換なしでPDFに書き出してもCMYKに変換されてしまいます。2025 (29.2.0) まではRGBのままでした。

   このバグが発生するのは、PNGおよびJPG形式の画像のみであり、PSDなど他の形式の画像はRGBのままとなります。

   再現手順

   1. CMYKの新規ドキュメントを作成
   2. RGB画像（PNGまたはJPG）をリンク配置（埋め込まない）
   3. カラー変換なしでPDFに書き出す

   RGB画像がPDF内でCMYKに変換されていることの確認手順

   1. PDFをAcrobatで開く
   2. 印刷工程 > 出力プレビュー を開く
   3. プレビュー を「オブジェクトインスペクター」に設定
   4. PDF内の画像をクリック
   5. クリックした箇所のオブジェクト情報が表示される

   この情報にカラーモードが表示され、RGBのまま書き出したはずの画像がCMYKになっていることが確認できます。

   問題点

   カラープロファイルの知識が不足しているユーザーは適切なCMYK変換ができないため、PDF内のRGB画像を出力側で適切にCMYKへ変換するフローが存在します。しかし、このバグによりPDF書き出し時にCMYKに変換されると、リンク配置時の不適切なカラープロファイル選択がそのまま反映されてしまい、出力側での品質管理が困難になります。

   また、この問題は書き出したPDFだけでなく、aiファイルの互換PDFにも影響を及ぼします。IllustratorのaiファイルをInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置する場合、InDesignは互換PDFを読み込むため、aiファイル内にRGB画像がリンク配置されているかどうかをInDesign上で確認することができなくなります。

   期待する結果

   PDF書き出し時に「カラー変換なし」を選択した場合、リンク配置されたRGB画像はRGBのまま維持されるべきです。

   As reported, the fix is now in the released 29.5.1 general build

5. Asset export does not include appearance outside bounding box area of text objects (preview bounds are ignored)

   In Illustrator 2025 (using version 29.3.1), when exporting assets, appearance elements outside the bounding box area are cut off.
   In 2024 (28.7.5) and 2023 (27.9.6), all elements are exported without cutting.

   Reproduction Procedure
   1. create a text object
   2. add a bold stroke color to the text
   3. add as an asset export item
   4. export the asset

   Expected result
   Designs with stroke color should be exported as in previous versions without problems.

   Appendix.
   If a fill is added instead of a line and “path offset” is applied instead, this problem can be avoided because the bounding box is extended.

   2024（28.7.5）、2023（27.9.6）ではすべての要素が切れることなく書き出しできている。

   再現手順
   1. テキストオブジェクトを作成
   2. テキストに太い線カラーを追加
   3. アセット書き出し項目として追加
   4. アセット書き出し

   期待する結果
   線によるデザインでも問題なく、以前のバージョンのように書き出しされること

   付記
   線ではなく、塗りを追加して「パスのオフセット」を適用したもので代用した場合、バウンディングボックスは拡張されるためこの問題は回避することができる。

7. Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled

   While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.

   Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

8. Exclusive to Mac Version: Lines Appear in PDF/x-4 Files, Not Present in Windows Version

   When placing a compatible PSD file (*1) into an AI document and exporting it as PDF/x-4, there has long been a bug where black lines appear on the edges of transparent areas. This issue has been fixed in the Windows version, but it remains unresolved in the Mac version, even in version 2024.

   The issue does not occur in the Windows version, even with the same version of Illustrator. It only happens on the Mac version.
   It occurs whether the PSD is linked or embedded.
   Even if an AI file is created on Windows and has no problems in the Windows version of Illustrator, lines will appear when opened on the Mac version.
   The exported PDF data actually has pixel abnormalities, and lines will appear regardless of whether you are using Mac or Windows.
   The lines may already be visible when you place the file. They become less noticeable when you use the CPU preview. This does not happen in the Windows version.

   *1) This refers to a transparent PSD file saved with Photoshop's "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" option turned on, and without a background layer.

   ・同じIllustratorバージョンであっても、Windows版では起こりません。Mac版でのみ起こります。
   ・PSDがリンクされていても埋め込まれていても発生します。
   ・Windowsで作成し、Windows版Illustratorでは問題がないaiファイルであっても、Mac版で開くと線が現れます。
   ・書き出したPDFデータは実際にピクセルに異常があり、Mac/Win関係無く線が出た状態になります。
   ・配置した段階で既に線が見えることがあります。CPUプレビューすると薄れます。これはWindowsでは現れません。

11. Selected an object in a bottom layer makes it render on top when exporting to TIFF

    When exporting to TIFF(doesn't happen when exporting to PNG), if I have text selected at the time, it appears at the front, when there should be layers above. I have attached a sample Illustrator file and resultant TIFF.

    Illustrator 29.8
    Windows 11 24H2 26100.5074

12. SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.

    I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/opening-a-svg-and-then-re-saving-it-causes-severe-distortions-in-the-resulting-file/m-p/15123107#M434142

    Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.

    This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:

    1. FIRST select "Save As..."
    2. Choose SVG as your format.
    3. Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
    4. Change the precision value from 1 decimal place to something like 5-6.

    If you don't do this, any SVG you open and save (even if no edit was made) will likely end up malformed.

    You can replicate this by opening a SVG, nudging it maybe a pixel or two, and then saving it with ctrl+s. Re-open the file and then observe the obvious distortions and rounding errors.

    Right now, as it stands, It's so easy to corrupt any icons you might be working on if you are making changes from SVG to SVG.

    All you have to do is make a small modification, hit CTRL+S, and then ... boom! Your file is now instantly corrupted and rounding errors distort your paths.

    Here is an example.

    Original Image:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784478i544B7B1A8591C865/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

    Re-Saved Image:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784479i67374AE1F641A82B/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

    I urgently request that Adobe does something about this, such as letting users define their default save options somewhere in the preferences so that this sticks permanently. Right now, precision is reset to 1 decimal place on every launch of the application.

    Please add an "Export Options" section to the application preferences, or a menu item that allows us to set a default SVG export profile.

    I beg that someone on the team incorporates an option to fix this!

    Thanks so much for reading.

    Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Should be fixed in Beta. Please verify if this works properly now.

13. EXPORT AS JPEG (at least) 150 dpi's option is not working properly

    PLEASE CHECK - it says 150 dpi's but the file is less. If I do the same in a previous version of illustrator, it is accepted.

15. JPEGs cannot open in Whatsapp

    The File > Export > Export as > JPEG/JPG produces files that cannot be opened in the latest WhatsApp. When opened, a popup will appear saying "This file was sent in an unusual format, which may indicate that this file is malicious, corrupted, or not supported by WhatsApp. For security reasons, this file cannot be opened.

16. The Default File Location option in missing in Preferences > File Handling

    Whenever we install Illustrator anew and try to save a document for the first time, we are given a choice — to save into Cloud or save locally. The default choices is Cloud and 'Don’t show again is checked) — Adobe actively wants users to use their system, I get it. However, if one makes a mistake and wants to alter this choice later — they can’t do it anymore.

    At some point we had this option exposed in Preferences > File Handling, but later it started to randomly disappear for users, with the same build used. The support can offer nothing but to reset Preferences, but it never helps to make it appear back. The blank spot is there, but the option is gone.

    We, however, can toggle it with a script, with a single line:
    app.preferences.setBooleanPreference ("AdobeSaveAsCloudDocumentPreference",false);

    or go to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file and set this key to zero:
    /AdobeSaveAsCloudDocumentPreference 0

    So the option exists, it just doesn’t get exposed.
    I personally think it’s a trap. I think Adobe lures users to use the Cloud. I think this perfectly fits the 'Adobe uses shady practices' and whatever the team can say in response (except for 'It is now fixed' with the users proving it is) I will treat as fueling these practices.

    Here’s a discussion at forums about this:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/turning-off-save-to-cloud-as-default/td-p/13076982

17. Saving Process

    I recently updated my Illustrator, and I've encountered a new error. When I try to save my project, the saving process won't complete, and there are no options to cancel it. Also, it is not shown on the tasks panel. I have to open a new document and save that as a new file. After a few rounds of saving, the problem occurs again, and I have to force stop the app to prevent further issues with recovered documents.

    I would greatly appreciate your help in solving this problem. Thank you.

18. SVG files open altered

    My files are continuously saving incorrectly. They look great when I save, but when I close out and open it later, things are not as they were. Anchors/handles jump out of whack, stylized effects disappear, rasterized images go blank or disappear; it is maddening. I cannot use this program if my files do not reopen as I saved them. They are exactly right when I hit save, but upon reopening, or opening in another program, they are altered in infuriatingly time-consuming ways.

    Possible related symptoms -- upon saving a file, Illustrator regularly tells me my file has been modified outside of Illustrator and asks if I would like to continue. I never open files in other programs which change them in any way. The only programs I use Illustrator files in is occasionally Photoshop, or when I upload them to be used with my 3D printer. I can open a brand new file, work on it, save it, work on it some more, not even leave the program, hit save, and get the message about it being modified elsewhere.

19. Anti-Aliasing Method in PNG Options Resets to Type Optimized

    The Preview in PNG Options is fixed (previously reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48119207), but the anti-aliasing method is not sticky anymore. It stays on Type Optimized between exports.

    Seems to work after resetting Preferences

20. Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)

    If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.

    I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.
