1. pathfinder - unexpected behaviour inside script

   when I select two compound paths and subtract, I get a fully selected group.
   If I create an action consisting of just the pathfinder operation and run it from the actions panel, the result is identical.
   If I call this action from extendscript, the group sometimes is only partially selected. - and the following steps produce unexpected results :(
   It turns out that adding an extra object.selected = true can help.
   I observed this in 2022 edition, I have the impression that this did not happen in 2020 edition

2. Image Trace API is broken

   Please watch the video attached.
   1. Rename the attached .txt. file to .js (UserVoice does not allow to attach scripts directly)
   2. Select a raster image in Illustrator and try to run the script the way it’s shown in the video, with line 11 and 12 commented, mutually exclusive

   With TRACINGFULLCOLOR on it is expected to have the 'Palette' dropdown switch to Full Tone, but it gets set to Limited.

   On the contrary, TRACINGLIMITEDCOLOR should give Limited for 'Palette', but it gives Automatic.

   These are obviously swapped.

   Also notice how all advanced options become 50%.

4. Scripting Issue on MacOS Monterey

   We had this script for Illustrator that will export PDF and images with predefined presets. This was working until some of our team upgraded their macOS to Monterey.

5. Scripts ran via actions do not select properly

   Dear developers,

   A few days ago I wrote a simple script which uses pathfinder to unite paths. This works perfectly when the script is ran via File > Scripts. But when added to an action and ran the script seems unable to select the proper layer and thus fails to run pathfinder.

   For a detailed rundown, analysis and files please visit the community forms post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-ran-via-actions-does-not-select-properly/td-p/13032773

   Technical details:
   - Microsoft Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19043 Build 19043;
   - Adobe Illustrator 2022 version 26.0.3 (64 bit)

   Kind regards.

6. textRange.words counts words wrong in a wrong way

   If you try to calculate a number of words and store them for later using textRange.words and a punctuation marks placed one space after the word, as demonstrated in the video, Ai cuts words in wrong places, resulting words being trimmed.

   This breaks all scripts that rely on this method.

   You have to rename 'words-bug.txt' into 'words-bug.js' and 'words-bug.pdf' to 'words-bug.ai' to test it, since UV does not allow to upload these type formats.

8. how can a note have more than one value?

   this file shows a situation where the note shown in the attribute panel differs from the note visiblefor a script. There were about fife occurences in a file of about 500 art objects. I picked one and removed everything else, and also replaced the artwork by a plain rectangle.

   To view the error, select the square and view the attribute panel
   Then run this extendscript:
   var doc = app.activeDocument;
   var obj = doc.selection[0]
   alert(obj.note)

   BTW: I could set proper values with a simple jsx that sets the note from the contents of a text field

9. Text Frame loses UID when moved along with compound path art in a different layer

   OS: Windows 10 Pro
   Illustrator 2022

   Steps to reproduce issue:
   Create a text frame and a compound path art in different layers
   Add UID to textframe using SDK
   Select both textframe and path art together, then move them
   Text frame loses UID, so we cannot get text frame using UID anymore
   This happens even if we saved the file after adding uid, closed and re-opened it

10. IUStringUnitsToAIReal doesn't recognize comma as decimal separator

    std::string input_ = "1,5"; // From Adobe header: The string to convert, which uses the localized international utilities (IU) decimal separator.
    AIReal n;
    sAIUser->IUStringUnitsToAIReal(ai::UnicodeString(input_), &n);

    This function interprets the text "1,5" as "15" even when the locale is set to a country where the system uses a comma decimal separator. Related functions IUStringToAIReal recognizes the comma, though.

11. Unable to control third party applications with AppleScript

    This is essentially the same issue as https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-16-3-2-not-authorised-to-send-apple-events-to-other-apps/td-p/12312871 except for Illustrator.

    Illustrator is missing the NSAppleEventsUsageDescription key from its info.plist file. This prevents the system from asking permission from the user to send apple events from Illustrator.

    Mac OS 11.5.2
    Illustrator 25.4..1

    To recreate:

    in terminal
    tccutil reset AppleEvents com.adobe.illustrator

    save the following AppleScript and place in the scripts menu for illustrator.

    tell application "Finder"
    display dialog "test"
    end tell

    Expected result:
    dialog in finder

    Actual result:
    AppleScript error: Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder. (-1743)

12. reading XMP data in scripts broken by 25.4 update.

    Illustrator 25.4 update broke scripts that try to read XMP data that worked in previous versions of Illustrator. This is the Mac version (have not tried in Windows).

    It appears to be getting the error on this line:

    ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

    Comparing the frameworks in the package contents for 25.3.1 vs 25.4, the AdobeXMPScript framework appears to be missing in 25.4.

    Below is an example script to read font data that worked in 25.3, but errors loading the library in 25.4

    // load XMP Library

    function loadXMPLibrary() {

13. Get document bleeding size problem

    I checked illustrator_ JavaScript_ Scripting_ Reference_ In 2017, only the document bleeding documentbleedoffsetrect can be set, but the bleeding size that has been set in the document cannot be obtained. Is it because the document is incomplete or this method is not provided? Now how can I get the bleeding size of the current document. thank you!

    Examples code:
    //set bleed
    docPreset.documentBleedOffset = [10, 10 10,10];

    But there is no way to get the value that has been set

14. Problems with scripts and BridgeTalk using Illustrator 25.3.1 on M1 Mac

    I have a handful of scripts that have stopped working after switching from an Intel Mac mini to an M1 Mac mini. The scripts will run as expected if I use the Intel version of Illustrator on the M1 Mac mini, but they return this error when run using the M1 version of Illustrator on the same machine "TARGET COULD NOT BE LAUNCHED(59)". The current culprit seems to be BridgeTalk. Any help would be appreciated, thx!

    The workaround for this is to update to the latest build, 25.3.1, which doesn't contain Bridge related changes for Mac ARM — that's why this error is happening.

    If you still have the issue, please comment back.

    This issue is happening due to a security feature added in Illustrator to inform the user if any external application tries to execute a script in Illustrator.

    Solution: Update your Logitech options app to the latest version – https://www.logitech.com/en-in/product/options

    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/fix-scripting-error.html

    We heard from some users that above solution is not working for them, we are investigating this issue. Meanwhile users can try the below workaround

    Create a JSX file with the following content:
    app.preferences.setBooleanPreference(“ShowExternalJSXWarning”, false);
    Save the above JSX file. Now, go to File > Scripts > Other Script, and choose the newly saved jsx file.

    This will suppress the warning dialog and run the script.

17. Illustrator RulerUnits returns Unknown for 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches'

    Illustrator recently added 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches' to the available ruler units; however, when a user selects one of these units, the scripting side returns 'RulerUnits.Unknown' for 'activeDocument.RulerUnits'.

    For scripting, the corresponding 'RulerUnits.*' value should be added so that developers can respond to the selected units.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.1.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

18. In CC2020 and later, referencing the created property of the File class returns "null”.

    Environment
    macOS 10.15.6
    Illustrator CC ver.25.1

    Step and reproduce
    1.Select menu ”File->Script->Other Script" and choose below one.

    //JavaScript File detail
    var f=File.openDialog("");
    alert(f.created);

    Expected result
    Illustrator shows "null". It must be return files created date.

    Actual result
    ”null” is returned.

    In CC2019 this property was successfully retrieved. It seems that a problem occurred after CC2020. Also, even if we put it in the 2021 family, other applications can get "created" property normally.
    "modified" property behaves similarly strangely in relation to this issue.

    This behavier shows only macOS. Windows can return as normal.

    //Japanese
    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustratorのバージョン
    macOS 10.15.6
    Illustrator CC ver.25.1

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    File->Script->Other Script"とメニューより以下に示す内容のJavaScript（ExtendScript）を選択する。

    //JavaScript File detail
    var f=File.openDialog("");
    alert(f.created);

    本来ファイル作成日がアラートされるべきだが"null"が表示される。

    想定していた結果
    ファイル製作日が表示。

    実際の結果
    ”null” が表示

    CC2019ではこのプロパティは正常に取得可能でした。2020以降で不具合が発生したものと思われます。また、2021ファミリーに置いても他のアプリケーションではこのcreatedプロパティを正常に取得可能です。この問題に関連してmodifiedプロパティも同様のおかしな挙動となっています。
    この不具合はmacOSのみで生じます。Windowsでは上記のスクリプトは正常に動作します。

19. Bug: Newlines become Carriage Returns on Mac

    On Mac this outputs a file with "test1^Mtest2^M"

    f = new File([path]);
    f.open("a");
    f.writeln("test1");
    f.writeln("test2");
    f.close();

    it uses carriage returns which means things like tail -f [path] won't work. Workaround is to use the "BINARY" file encoding

20. 25.1 Type Library is invalid

    Can not create Illustrator.Application.

    The CLSID value stored in the Windows registry and ScriptingSupport.aip is different.

    It seems that you need to create an Application object with a new CLSID, but the 25.0 version ID is stored in the registry.
