Importing a PDF with only Spot RGB Colors inside treats the document as CMYK
I am exporting PDFs from an RGB file using 'Export for screens’ with a PDF Preset that converts to sRGB.
Any artboard that contains a ‘process’ RGB color (white, in my case) comes out as an RGB PDF file.
Any artboard that only contains Spot RGB colored elements is seen as a CMYK file when opened in Illustrator or imported in InDesign (which is my goal).My example file will export nicely until I hide the background layer to make my PDF transparent. Then the one with the (previously) white background becomes CMYK.

Gaussian Blur Effect Changed in 29.1 from 29.0.1
As previously reported in July 2020 when this happened with 24.2: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/40865740-gaussian-blur-effect-producing-different-results-f
This was last an issue with 24.2.3, and since 24.3 it had been successfully fixed with consistent results in 29.0.1.
December 2nd, 2024: We have discovered that the issue is how the Gaussian Blur effect performs on Process vs Spot colours.
In 29.1, Gaussian blur now produces an identical effect on both process & spot colours. We'd consider that a fix, as a designer should expect the same result no matter the colour used.
The challenge here for Adobe is weighing "fixing the blur" vs customer legacy files.…

Constant crashing - can't even move an object
Have updated my illustrator to the most recent version 29.1.
Using Mac OS Sequoa 15.1.1 - M1.
I would make changes, scroll to another section of my frame. Return back and my changes were then 'reverted'.
Every time I open the app it lags, spinning wheel of death, and all i'm doing is trying to maybe zoom in or out, copy or move an object.
I have reverted to old versions, reinstalled etc
It's a small file, good computer with heaps of memory.
Illustrator is basically unusable at this point and can't do my work. .

Color set through Appearance section Properties conflicts with the one from dedicated Appearance panel.
Some features in Illustrator are quite strange. For example, if you set a color in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel and then add a color in the independent "Appearance" panel, the object will have color A+color B overlap, but the color set in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel cannot be reflected in the "Appearance" panel.
The Appearance panel in the Properties is different from the individual Appearance panel, which cannot be understood.1 vote -
Align to key object doesn't work properly
Mac Studio 2022 Apple M1 Max - 64Gb memory
Mac OS Sequoia 15.1
Illustrator (Middle East) 29.2.1Alignment to key object SOMETIMES doesn't work as expected. I cannot figure out which are the specific cases.
When dealing with text boxes there is no difference between Roman Hanging punctuation ON or OFF.
I numbered the screenshots according to the issue.TWO TEXT BOXES:
I'm right aligning my text box to another text box. It right-aligns it to the right border of the selected text box with small margin (in this case 0,26mm). The right border of the text box is shifted…

Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct
In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

Illustrator Beta Font Selection Panel Disappearing Problem
When the pop-up font preferences panel opens, which is an easy selection area, the window that opens to select a font disappears when hovering over it with the mouse. The font preference preview panel closes before making a selection. It occurred after the last update.

Illustrator friert bei Copy ein
ich arbeite mit einem Dell Precision 7560 PC unter WIN 11 Vers. 10.0.22632 mit Illustrator. Ich habe einen Prozessor 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185H mit 2.5 GHz mit 8 Kernen
Ich habe seit geraumer Zeit das Problem dass Illustrator extrem langsam wird. meine Dateien sind klein un bestehen nur aus wenigen Vektor-Linien. Das Problem tritt auf, wenn ich Teile anwähle und mit Command C in die Zwischenablage kopiere. Dann wird die Darstellung ****, alles friert ein, das Rädchen dreht sich und manchmal werden die Fenster und Bedienfelder Schwarz. Nach einigen Sekunden funktioniert dann wieder alles. Nachdem das ein paar mal…1 vote -

当我的链接图片达到100张以上时,会有个漫长的保存过程 Allow to disable proxy images for missing links on saving
最近Illustrator的更新中有一个项目。
是让断开链接的图片。
还能在Illustrator中显示一张降低画质的图片。
这项更新给我带来了,非常大的麻烦。
当我的链接图片达到100张以上时,会有个漫长的保存过程。
这在以前是不需要的。
以前当我把保存选项中的几个可选项都去掉的情况下,链接的图片无论有多少,保存都会瞬间完成。
这导致我虽然排版时,电脑运行流畅,但不敢保存,保存会消耗大量的时间等待,我只能在完全排版好后,保存1次。A recent update to Illustrator included a project.
Is to make unlinked pictures.
It can also display a reduced image in Illustrator.
This update is causing me a lot of trouble.
When I have more than 100 linked images, there is a long saving process.
This was not necessary before.
In the past, when I removed several options from the save options, no matter how many images were linked, the save was done instantly.
As a result, although I typeset, the computer runs smoothly, but I dare not save, saving will consume…1 vote -
箇条書きテキストの不透明度が勝手に変わる
箇条書きを適用したテキストを含むファイルを保存後再度開くと、箇条書きテキストの不透明度が、初期設定から「不透明度:80%、合成モード:乗算」に変わっています。
全てのデータで起こるわけではありませんが、一度この現象が起こると何度不透明度設定を元に戻して保存しても、次に開くとまた変わります。
コピーしたファイルも同様です。
既出、解決済みの問題でしたらすみません。使用しているバージョンは28.5です。

Aligning doesn’t work for groups with strange empty unselectable objects inside, imported from SVGs (originally made with Illustrator)
Several objects were made in Illustrator and exported to SVGs.
Later they were imported back into Illustrator.
Please take a look at both the GIF and the file atached.When one tries to select all the top-level groups and align them to left — it doesn’t work.
Aligning to center and to right works, but once these get aligned to right — aligning to center stops working too.When exploring layers, it’s clear that these groups have something else inside besides rectangles — but only in Layers, not on canvas. These can’t be selected or changed, only rearranged, renamed, deleted.

Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.
Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.

Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option
Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.
However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.
So now this dialog is broken the other way.
What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we…
