Text editing issues in regular and large canvases
- Set the regional text to "align both ends, align the last line to the left", which aligns normally in a regular canvas, but cannot align on the right side in a large canvas.
- For the text in the same area, adjust the "Scale Spacing" text in the big canvas to overflow on the right. Display normally in regular canvas.

GPUプレビューモードで高解像度２階調の埋め込み画像の表示がおかしくなる。
macOS13.6.6〜13.6.7
Illustrator ver.28.5再現手順
1.1200ppi程度のモノクロ2階長画像を用意する。
2.IllustratorにてGPUプレビューの状態で1.の画像を配置
3.配置した画像を埋め込むと表示が反転する。期待する結果
埋込前と埋込後で表示がかわらない。実際の結果
埋め込んだビットマップの表示が反転される。現状の回避方法
埋込んだビットマップ画像が存在するドキュメントではCPUプレビューかオーバープリントプレビューで表示を行う。これはGPU表示における不具合です。PDF保存などを行うと正常に保存されますが、GPUプレビューが使えない状態というのは作業性が悪くストレスがたまります。

Animated zoom bug (workspace flickers and turns black when in a group)
- Windows 11 (latest)
- Illustrator 28.3
- The screen flickers and turns black using Animated Zoom within a group. If I exit the group (using escape), the screen returns to normal. Animated Zoom works normally as long as I am not within a group.
The video I've uploaded shows me double-clicking a group to enter it, then using Animated Zoom to produce the flickering and black screen. I hit escape to exit the group, and the screen returns to normal. I then demonstrate that Animated Zoom works correctly when not within the group.
Thanks

Star shape expand not working in 2025 update
Illustrator 29 (2025 update) on Mac - The live shapes are great, and I was able to create a cog, but I can't expand the shape like in the previous versions, and the corners stay "live." In properties panel, I click on "Expand Shape" but the shape stays editable as if it's still "live" - see screenshots attached.

When using Export As SVG in 28.5 and 28.6, underscores get replaced with '_x5F_', unlike in 28.4 and earlier
When exporting to .svg, '_x5F' text is added to one of the layers, which then changes the order that things are displayed.
I do not understand how this text is now added and would like to prevent it from happening.2 votes -

オプティカルカーニングのテキストにタブを設定しても揃わない - Optical kerning text does not align when tabs are set
「文字間のカーニング：オプティカル」のテキストに「タブ」パネルで「タブ位置」と「リーダー」を設定しても、タブの位置で文字が揃わない。
MacOS Monterey（12.7.4） + Illustrator 2024（28.4.1）
再現手順:
1. テキストオブジェクトに文字パネルで「文字間のカーニング：オプティカル」を設定する
2. 「タブ」パネルで「タブ揃え」、「タブ位置」、「リーダー」を設定する期待された結果:
指定したタブ揃え・タブ位置でテキストが揃う実際の結果:
指定したタブ揃え・タブ位置でテキストが揃わない回避方法:
・テキスト中のタブのみに「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを設定する
・タブを設定したテキストでは「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを利用する「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを利用すれば回避できますが、フォントや文字の内容によっては「オプティカル」を使いたいこともあります。その都度タブのみに「メトリクス」等を設定するのは手間がかかります。また、「リーダー」に記号等を設定しなければテキストは揃いますが、それではタブの機能を利用する意味がありません。
InDesignにも同様の機能がありますが、カーニングの設定が何であれテキストの位置はタブ位置で揃います。
ユーザーの工夫で回避するのではなく、Illustrator側が改善すべき挙動だと考えます。---Use translation tools---

Smart Guide Measurement Labels give a diameter for polygon live shapes, but show a width and height
Smart guide measurement labels display the diameter of polygon live shapes rather than their width/height, but still lists it as W/H in the label itself.
Steps:
1. Create a polygon with a square bounding box (like an octagon)
2. With smart guide measurement labels on, drag to a specific size.
3. Note discrepancy between the size listed when you release and the size in the transform panel.Result: Label displays a different W/H figure than the transform panel.
Expected result: Either the measurement label explicitly informs the users that it displays diameter (i.e.: 'Dia: 100 px'), or it displays the…5 votes -

New Document settings reset while being entered
When creating a new document in Illustrator, you can begin tabbing down through the fields and assigning numbers as you go (such as setting up standard business cards by typing 3.5, tab twice, type 2, tab thrice, set 3 artboards, tab once and enter top bleed amount, etcetera).
The problem is, before I can completely enter my values, the program randomly moves to another field (possibly the first of the Recent Items, or wherever focus is upon bringing up the New Document dialog). This often means my new document winds up being "reset" to the last size created, and I…

Arabic text is not searchable in a PDF saved from Illustrator
Arabic text is not searchable in a PDF saved from Illustrator.
In Adobe Illustrator v. 29.2.1 (Middle Eastern version) on Mac OS 15.2, I created a document with A4 size page, typed any number of words, lines in Arabic Language.I choose to save the file as PDF. Then in Acrobat, when I search for any Arabic word, I get the message "No matches were found".
The same text placed into Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word, then Export the page as PDF. Those PDFs are fully searchable.I believe that PDFs out of Adobe Illustrator are the only ones with…

Radial Gradient Exports very large SVG with a many ellipse elements instead of using gradient tag.
Sometimes when you select colors with pipette for radial gradients and export SVG the single radial gradient become hundreds of layers of ellipses. A single element should only export one element with a fill of a single radial gradient.
I tried uploading a zip or the SVGs but this ****** form uploader wouldn't let me.

Don’t display Touch workspace styled handles for Free Transform when Ai doesn’t use it
If a computer has an access to a touch screen device, Ai offers users to switch the interface into the dedicated Touch Workspace: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/illustrator-touch-workspace.html
Normally this access won’t affect using Ai in the default mode, except for the way Free Transform tool’s controls.
These start to look ugly: large contoured circles with small white square padding inside, smudged icons (when viewed at 100 UI scale), giant hint arrows...Maybe these work for some better, I can imagine this.
But why do I see these when not in Touch mode?
How can I force Ai to use normal ones without removing…2 votes -
+ (plus) as keyboard shortcut not working for adding anchor point tool
The keyboard shortcut for adding anchor point tool is by default + (plus).
About 1 month ago it stopped working.
I have not changed the shortcut settings. Changing the add anchor point tool shortcut to some other key works fine, it's just + (plus) that is not working. I have also tried to make + (plus) as shortcut key for other tools, but that's not working either.
So the problem seem to be the + (plus) key itself?
Only problem is, it works just fine in text, as you can see here. It works just as well in Ai when…1 vote -
