  1. gpu animated zoom ramdomly disables after 25.0.1 update (25.2.1)

    Last tried with illustrator version 25.2.1

    Using animated zoom – gpu enabled – illustrator randomly switches to cpu while working on illustrator PDFs
    Does not occur while working in a .ai file, only PDF.

    Interim Solution: downgrade to 25.0 – animated zoom works fine using 25.0, but now randomly crashes from time to time …

  3. Adobe illustraitor new beta version freezing with M1 chip

    I have recently upgraded to the Macboook pro M1 chip, and my adobe illustraior would not work at all, freezing and needing to force restart everytime I tried to use it. Adobe then released the Beta version, compatible with the Silicon M1 chip and I upgraded, however now it seems llike my Illustraitor has a lag.
    Every 5 seconds or couple of movements, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then catches up. I have restarted, reopened and no change. I am unsure of what else to do as work is now impossible, if anyone has experienced anything similar…

  4. AiRobin hogging huge amounts of RAM (between 12GB and 16 GB) and at times slows the machine down.

    I have turned off "background save / export" which is apparently the purpose of AiRobin. Nonetheless, it has continued to run for the couple of months since I turned those off. Today I had InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open momentarily; I try to avoid that, but usually it's fine for 5 or 10 minutes. This time it wasn't, and I could literally do nothing (even move the mouse for the most part) for close to 15 minutes. I was finally able to pull up Activity Monitor and I ended the process for AiRobin. Immediately things improved. But sure enough, AiRobin…

  5. Illustrator 2021 (25.1.0) slows, freezes, crashes every 1-3 hours.

    I have tried to use Illustrator 25.1.0 on 3 different laptops, ALL instances resulted in the same problem. The application will perform normally for a while, then at some point, typically between 1-3 hours of constant use, the function you are asking for via mouse input will freeze. (examples: moving a text box or shape, highlighting text, etc.) Sometimes the freeze will be preceded by a slight slow down in responsiveness. Once there is a freeze, the menu pull downs are inoperable too, so you can't ask it to save. When it freezes, a recovery file may or may not…

  7. Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.

    It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save
    a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.

  9. Not enough memory

    Working on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 with Illustrator 25.3.1
    I have a simple shape like half of a circle which has a standard color filling plus a "inner Glow" effect. When I want to transform the object like scaling, it tells me there is not enough memory. When I hide the effect and redo the steps it will let me transform the object. Thanks for taking care.

  13. Illustrator Crash/Not Running

    Operating System: Windows 10
    Version: Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1

    After the last update, some of my documents on Creative Cloud do not open, unless I create duplicate and run the duplicate.

    The updated Illustrator crashes more often, specially if I have a lot of layers.

  14. Beta 25.4 – Crashing when in isolation mode (Big Sur 11.4)

    I'm running both the Apple Silicon Beta version (25.4) of Illustrator and 25.3.1 via the Rosetta emulator, and having the same issue across both. Huge amounts of lag occur when double clicking an object to enter isolation mode. At first I thought it was because the file I was working on had a bunch of linked images, but now even new files with a single vector object drawn will have the same lag issue. A shutdown of the machine sees a new file operate as expected, until I enter isolation mode, and then the same issue occurs. Close that file,…

  16. Esko Dynamic Barcodes plug-in crashing Illustrator

    Hi

    We use the Esko Dynamic Barcode plug-in for creating barcodes, but I've just moved over to a new M1 chip MacMini, and ever since if I try to use the plug-in in Illustrator (25.1) it crashes. Sometimes as I apply the settings, or sometimes as I just enter them.

    Has anyone else who uses this found the same issue? Esko say they're developing a Universal version of the plug-in, but it will also depend on Adobe updating releasing the native M1 Illustrator.

    Just wondered if there was a quick fix in the meantime for me to continue using it?

  17. Embedded Bitmap .Tif Files slowing down performance

    MacOS Big Sur 11.2
    iMac Pro (2017)
    Processor: 3 GHz 10-Core Intel Xeon W
    Memory: 64GB
    Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 63 16 GB
    Adobe Illustrator: V 25.2.1

    Embedded bitmap tif files have suddenly starting causing hindered performance. While still "linked", the bitmaps seems fine. But after embedding those linked files, they cause considerable "beach-balling" while attempting to transform them in any way, toggling their visibility on/off, or zooming in/out. All vector layers remain unaffected when the embedded bitmap layers are hidden. This is occurring on both newly created files, and older .ai files that previously had no issues. These embedded…

  18. Scrubby Zoom Suddenly Stops Working

    2019 MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. Adobe Illustrator 25.2.

    Scrubby zoom suddenly stops working, even though GPU and Animated Zoom are still enabled within Preferences. This happens once or twice a week; the only way I have found to resolve is restarting the MacBook.

    It happens while working in relatively small/simple documents, all of a sudden, without making any changes to Preferences.
