  1. Buffer memory glitch

    I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) running the latest BigSur 11.1, Illustrator the latest version 25.1. For the last year or so I was upset by glitches while working with complex shapes. In recent weeks it became so severe as to stop my work completely. Whenever I copy an object, especially several objects, it immediately pastes a text block with gibberish. I turned off "including SVG code" in clipboard handling option yesterday and it helped for some time, now it came back with full force.

  2. illustrator 2021 won't open large files created in 2020 version

    Opening large files created in the 2020 version gives a message " Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file as possible, but some content might be missing. Open to view the recovered file."

    Any file with multiple layers or artboards only shows one artboard and layers are missing. The weird thing is the preview shows the full file and artboards, they just won't open.

    Is anyone else having this problem? I've found that if you install illustrator 2020 and open it there it usually works (although not always)

  4. Guides and SmartGuides not showing in Illustrator 25

    Guides and SmartGuides are not activating. I have tried every fix suggested in forums, all the way to uninstalling, cleaning with the provided cleanup tool, and reinstalling. Still, the guides don't show. Have toggled every snap feature in every possible combination, they still don't show up.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 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!

  9. Can not update Illustrator or InDesign in Creative Cloud

    I need confirmation if the reason I cannot update is due to the Windows 10 version 20H2 by my company OR an issue on the Adobe side. I would like to escalate this matter internally if it is on our company's side. PLEASE ADVISE.

    From the manager of the Meritor Infrastructure team:

    At current I think we will not be beginning with the testing of the next version
    until at least February. The next version will be Windows 10 version 20H2.

    Please note that Windows 10 version 20H2 is anticipated to be unsupported by
    Adobe From October 2021, even though…

  10. Can't copy and paste from Graphpad prism 9.0 to AI 25.1

    I can paste smaller images but not larger ones. My colleagues who use the same programs on a mac have no issues. Keep in mind that I am pasting multiple independent images at the same time. For example, a transfer of a square will be 4 lines transferred.

  19. Tools are all unusable

    MACOS 10.14.6 Illustrator 2021 cloud.
    Everything worked fine yesterday. New 2021 will not allow me to work on ANY project, old or new because the toolbox is locked. I launched Illustrator, opened a file, wanted to edit some text, selected the Type Tool, moved the cursor to the desired type and the cursor didn't change to the TYPE tool but showed a paintbrush with a locked icon attached. No matter which tool, or file (I tried several, also a NEW) the result was the same paintbrush icon.
