The PDF is unprotected automatically after I save a protected file in Illustrator.
I had tried to open a protected PDF in illustrator and made some changes. After I clicked the "Save" button, I found that the PDF was not protected with password anymore. Could I keep it protected as original file do, without saving as a new file and protect it again? Thanks!

Make CMD+D to behave the same way in both Illustrator and InDesign
I like the CMD+D on Illustrator but want that on InDesign for duplicating things easier, and I also like the CMD+D on InDesign and I want that on Illustrator to relink photos easier. So maybe keep the CMD+D the same in both and create a new left hand command for the other?
I'm down1 voteYou can reassign these commands to new hotkeys manually to any combination you need, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
If you think that all Adobe apps should have the same keyboard shortcuts anyway, you can try to upvote this general request.

Rotate tool dialogue box won't appear
After selecting the rotate tool, rotate dialogue box won't appear.
a dialogue box will appear only if I double click on the rotate tool but then I am not able to move the anchor point to the center of the object.
6 votesAs per the comment, the way to call the dialog and to define the arbitrary rotation pivot is to Opt/Alt+Click the desired position when the tool is picked.
However, this does not work well sometimes, especially with a pen and a tablet, and you can upvote the problem here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32613901

Receive PDF-X4 compatible PDFs when exporting X4 compatible
Files exported with X4 PDF standard do not get the X4 approval by the Acrobat preflight. It always mocks transparency color settings. Is there a setting that I'm missing or is it a built-in bug?

Objects get distributed across the artboard instead of the selection’s bounds
This only started recently - the past month maybe? If I select 3 or more objects and have alignment set to "align to selection" and then click the Distribute Spacing icon, Illustrator will default immediately to "align to artboard" and space the objects out across the entire artboard instead of the selection.
If I undo (Cmd Z) and then go through the process again (I have to reset the alignment preference to "align to selection" first, however), it works fine, but every time without exception I have to go through this process.
As mentioned, this only started to happen recently.

The fill of the object is not following the guide lines.

Illustrator 2020 huge problems!
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.16
Illustrator 24.0.1.
Some problems and HUGE problems:
1) The saving to server (which is where we are supposed to save) is extremaly slow even with vector based files)
2) When opening a new file while another file is open, the file name is the right one, but on the screen view there is a duplicate of the other file that is open
3) While saving the changes for file in .ai format the file that was just before first in pdf-format, the program gives "Fatal error, could not save" and the whole file disappears from the…1 vote -
Command-Option buttons not working. Can't duplicate or get to selection tool by hitting Command when I am using another tool
When I am using a tool and want to get to the Selection tool without releasing the other tool I am working with (like if I am typing and want to move the text I can just hit Command and the cursor changes to Selection tool and I can move it and when released automatically becomes the text tool again, use this for many different tools).
When I hold Command and Option down it would duplicate but it is not duplicating.

Illustrator CC 2019 Will Not Save or Save As on Mac OS Mojave
I use a Macbook Pro mid 2015 with 16 GB RAM and Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.4. I just updated from CC 2018 to CC2019 at most a week ago. I wish I could go back, because at least in CC 2018 I could save.
When I tried saving a file I have already saved before, with this newest version of the program even, it gives me the error message of "file not found." I go and try to open the file, make sure I'm not just working on a different version, and that "file is already open."
I try to…

undo is broken
Undo is just wonky. I hit Undo, and rather than just stepping back one step, it jumps several actions backward, and the Redo steps can't even get back to where I was. I wish I could provide more info, but it's just jacked, so I can't trace the problem.

Part of text disappears when printing upside-down
I am printing a piece of art with text. When rotating the document upside down in the print dialogue window, the printed version lacks letters. It looks like only the first letter gets printed. This is not a printer issue either, tested printing from PDF and it worked fine.
See attached for the example. The right half is how it should be, left half is what comes out - small "B" is missing.1 vote -
Transparency on PNG not supported when imported or replaced
Transparency mask on the png file shows as white when imported or replaced into illustrator data created last week.
Transparency on the original png file on the illustrator is intact. The problem is seen only when the new png file is uploaded.
I thought it may be the png file, but the problem occurs only on the illustrator.
The problem started after updating both Photoshop 2019 and Illustrator 2019.

Frequent crash Illustrator 2019 23.1.1.
Crashes 4-8 times a day, just like that. Illustrator crashes even if you just walk away from the computer and do nothing. Then he just closes the program. Without notification. When opening the file again, he will only give a message that he has saved it as a 'recovered' file.
macOS Mojave (versie 10.14.6)
