  1. Cutting out parts of the exported PNG

    Exporting "saveforweb" PNG cut all the logos a few pixels in.

    P.S. ever since CC was released (and started renting out your software) the quality went down, your software doesnt work well with macos catalina. BOOOOOOO Adobe. BOOOOOOOO.

  2. svg text

    Exporting SVG on Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.2 on MacOS 10.14.3 is giving inconsistent results in regards to text. I am trying to export a file as an SVG with Font option set to SVG. However, the SVG file exported has some texts converted to paths or outlines and some texts are preserved as texts, which is what is desired. We have also tried this under Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.1 on Windows 10 Home with same results. We have included a sample file for you to test.

    Hi Akshay,

    We were able to confirm the issue that you see. The issue indeed does not happen with Illustrator 2018 (22.1).

    We identified hyphenation as the potential culprit. To workaround the issue, either disable hyphenation in the Paragraph panel or make sure text does not get hyphenated.

    We are sorry that you experience the issue and are working on fixing the issue.

  3. Keep transparency of raster images is copied / pasted / drag-n-dropped

    I have, let's say, image with background erased. I want to copy it from PS and paste into AI, intending opacity to be kept, but NO, you get opaque image.

    I don't care who is in charge for this, you or PS team, just get it done already.

    Same applies to PNGs from a browser.

  4. slow cursor on second monitor when using Adobe Illustrator - only while using Ai

    When I used illustrator on my second monitor, the mouse cursor is astoundingly slow and a reduced range across the screen. This only happens when I use illustrator, not other applications. I am using a macOS Mohave 10.14.5 (18F132) and am connecting to my monitor with an HDMI using an HDMI/USB adapter for my laptop.

    This costs me in time and efficiency at my job, as I'm sure it does for other people, who have posted similar complaints on adobe forums. Please fix it!

  5. Moving an artboard using the Artboard Tool moves non-overlapping paths and shapes in adjacent artboards

    Moving an artboard should only move paths and shapes within the artboard and paths and shapes overlapped from other artboards. If possible, overlapped paths and shapes should only move if a majority is in the selected artboard.

  6. UI Panels not rendering with Catalina update

    The panels in the user interface for both Illustrator and Photoshop have started not rendering properly (aka disappearing) both for the document panel and for workspace panels the ever since upgrading to Catalina on Mac. This most commonly happens when pressing "F" to switch between document views. Other times when switching from another application to the Illustrator or Photoshop window, the entire document disappears despite the Window dropdown menu saying it is open.

    I have contacted Adobe Customer Support and they have continually told me to delete my preference files (Illustrator) or turn on/off Legacy compositing (Photoshop). Despite doing these,…

  8. Magic Wand on fill color/stroke color/stroke weight setting ignores text objects

    Magic Wand on fill color/stroke color/stroke weight setting ignores text objects. This is very limiting when attempting to change colors on all text of a certain color. Only if the text is changed to outlines can I get the Magic Wand to selects all instances of text in a certain fill/stroke color/weight This limits the usefulness of Magic Wand...

  9. Illustrator slow on Retina display

    Hi,

    Adobe Illustrator is running slow/lagging on a Retina display (Zooming, using overprint preview). Doing the same operations when the document is located on an external monitor (Dell, no hdpi), all works well.

    I've tried switching between GPU/CPU rendering, disabling animated zoom, removing the preferences, ... without any luck.

    Does anyone have any idea's on how to solve this?

    I'm using a MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 450 2048MB...

    Thanks

  10. Change to dimension in properties panel applies to wrong object in certain situation...

    Minor bug. To reproduce:

    Have at least two objects on screen.
    Select one.
    In the properties panel, change the width or height but do not press enter or tab.
    Select the other object.

    Result: The change in dimension is applied to the second object, not the first.

  11. Reflect tool showing artifacts when flip mirroring a live paint group

    A live paint tool when mirroring via Reflect (O) function, seems to always distort parts of the flipped and copied image, sample here. But I've had worse results.

  12. PDF Import Problem

    Opening a PDF in Illustrator 2019 23.1.1 - I select which page I want to open eg. 2 of 2, and it only opens the first page (not the page I wanted). No I'm not inputing the page numbers in the preview page panel (just in case you think that I am).

    Import PDF pages as links is 'unchecked'.

    Troubleshooting:

    1) It works correctly if I open 'all' page with 'links checked'.
    2) It works correctly if I open 'all' pages with 'links unchecked'.

  13. Cannot make invisible/visible layers

    Cannot manage my layers. The "eye" of the layers look like not working.
    Like you can see in my capture, the layers are not visible mode but still visible.

    Restarting computer is a waste of time, didnt work.
    I need this function to work obviusly. So fix them because I must spend my time looking for another version ( and I paid for the 2020 )

  14. Illustrator version 23.1 won't launch

    Illustrator version 23.1 will not launch after initial opening upon install. On Windows 10 64 bit. It also will not start in safe mode. I uninstalled that version and went back to 23.0.6 and it seems to works fine.

  15. Scale Options greyed out

    The Scale Dialog gives a lot of checkboxes. Unfortunately, some are only accesible for Pattern filled objects.

    I would like to be able to Scale Strokes only, without scaling the Objects.

  16. Some of AI file paths disappear when exporting to PNG or JPG

    A simple AI file containing the logo and text (all outlined) is saved fine as AI or PDF, but if I try to export it to PNG or JPG, some of the paths contained within the image disappear and are not rendered in the resulting raster file. I am attaching the master AI file, and the rendered PNG file (created by going to File > Export As > PNG). As you will see, the rendered PNG file is missing the ALFRA name within the square white shape. FYI, I sent the file over to a friend of mine and he…

  20. Spanish mistraslation

    When you choose Object > Path > Simplify and go to advanced options, the line: "Show original path" is mistranslated to: "Mostrar ruta original". It should be: "Motrar trazado original".

    "Path" could mean ruta or trazado, in this case means trazado.
