  1. Exporting assets as SVG with asset export tool is buggy

    Asset export in illustrator is a very convenient tool, the only problem I found is when exporting my drawings to SVGs they get distorted, but when I take my objects one by one to a single document and fit them in an artboard and save the document as SVG the problem resolves (a big process), essentially because SVG saving settings for saving a document isn't the same when for exporting with asset export, I believe it isn't a big problem to solve and I hope for it to get fixed soon, I can reply with images to assist my point.

  3. Strumento di Selezione non funziona

    Lo strumento di selezione non funziona, non ci sono differenze con lo strumento di selezione diretta. Non si riesce più a ridimensionare un box di testo o un qualsiasi oggetto selezionato.

  5. Missing transparency in placed PDFs

    I do have issues with Illustrator displaying transparencies of placed PDFs as solid.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open a new document.
    2. Draw two partially overlapping rectangles with different colors.
    3. Set he opacity of the frontmost rectangle to 50%.
    4. Save this document as a PDF with setting Illustrator Standard (see attached file).
    5. Open a second document.
    6. Place the PDF file.

    Expected result:

    The topmost rectangle should be displayed with transparency.

    Actual result:

    The topmost rectangle is not transparent.

    If you save the document with the placed PDF itself as PDF file, the rectangle is still transparent, so this is a display issue…

  8. GPU Preview not available (grayed out) after editing artboard

    With newest version of illustrator the GPU acceleration and GPU-Preview fails in some files. To test it i have created a blank document and the GPU preview works. But when I edit the artboard, the GPU preview is turned off at that moment and cannot be reactivated. Reset the Illustrator-Settings to default doesn't fix it.

    Illustrator 25.2, MacPro2013, GPU AMD FirePro D700, Monitor 2560x1600Pixel, Wacom-Tablet, MacOs Catalina and Mojave testet.

  9. Placed images vanish

    When system (Windows) crashes with Illustrator open, any placed or linked images are missing in the recovery file, thus rendering it unusable.
    Warning appears, asking me to relink " " file (even if the linked file has a name), which I can't do due to missing information. Link palette is not displaying any information on what file it was either.
    I have never seen this bug before, but it has happened the last two times for me, and is very unfortunate.

  10. Convert to Artboards doesn't work if there are Sublayers on the same Layer

    I get the following error message when I try to convert a Rectangle to an Artboard when the rectangle exists on a layer that also contains a Sublayer:

    "To create Artboards, select non-rotated rectangles that are not clipping masks."

  11. Illustrator Mac - Windowed Mode window traffic lights not working as per UI spec.

    The Alt Key is supposed to present options to move the window between different screens and to resize, zoom, go half-screen wide etc. Illustrator 2021 Mac does not do this.

  13. Illustrator GPU performance | Driver updates

    Using Illustrator V25.1
    GPU Details
    Vendor: Intel
    Device: Intel(R) Iris(R) XE Graphics
    WIndows 10
    Keeps crashing, suggestion for the fix from Adobe is to check and update drivers. I have followed the instructions and updated the drivers using Adobe instructions. Illustrator is still crashing and Adobe is still suggesting the same fix. Have double checked graphics driver is up-to-date and Intel confirms that it is.

  14. Whatever happened to User Guides?

    I myself am an OLD(School) Illustrator user truly believe that the lack of issuing any type of user guide is at best discourteous. Unfortunately, Adobe seems quite happy to Offload (i.e. burden and/or inconvenience) the task to their community. It seems like they used to consider us customers (or even clients) who deserved professional, well-organized, easy-to-use, comprehensive, and UP TO DATE instructions and guides. Hmmm,.. whatever happened to support those who put/keep you in business? I guess in the software business that's progress?

    It's even worse when you consider that we live in a time when it would be…

  16. Gaussian Blur Bug Changes Appearance Between Different Versions

    This is a major flaw!

    We have an Illustrator file created in CC 2019 (23.0.6), it contains a PSD element that has a gaussian blur effect applied to it in Illustrator, set to a radius of 9 pixels, this produced a subtle blurred appearance. The file was then sent to a printer for test printing where they are using Illustrator CC 2021 (version unknown) and when they open the file the object becomes very blurred, completely changing its appearance.

    I've managed to replicate the bug using Illustrator CC 2020, the object's radius blur effect changes to 9.021 pixels and the…

  18. svg mit Konturlinie wird falsch übersetzt

    Illustrator Version 25.4 auf Windows 10

    Beim Speichern einer ai Datei, welche einen Pfad mit einer Konturlinie (mittige Ausrichtung) 0,124 px enthält wird das svg korrekt abgespeichert.
    Ändert man die Ausrichtung zu einer am Pfad innen liegenden oder außen liegenden Konturlinie, wird beim Speichern keine Konturlinie mehr mitgegeben sondern eine Füllfarbe, die die gesamte Fläche betrifft.

    Dies ist eine falsche svg Darstellung bzw. Ausgabe. Nachfolgende ist der Text der svg´s dargestellt.

    svg Inhalt korrekt:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 25.2.1, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    width="163px"…

  19. Home screen user interface not fully loading - looks like script - can't open templates either

    when I open Ai, the home screen UI doesn't seem to be loading correctly or all the way. see image below. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, updated my graphics card (Radeon AMD Vega 64) and made sure windows 10 was up to date. I'm able to open a blank file by clicking on the templates, but if I try to create my own new project, I just get a blank pop-up box.

  20. Export for screens too slow when saving PDF multiple times

    I use export for screens to export many artboards in PDF for simple vector artwork like brand assets (brandwithtagline, horizontallogo, verticallogo, symbol, brandblue, brandyellow, etc.) everytime I need to export the same file multiple times for Pantone, CMYK and RGB versions of those same artboards, but every time I export, the time it takes increases. For example: one file with 80 artboards take 0:10s to save each artboard as a separte file in Ai format, but takes 2:00s to save in PDF for first batch, then 2:50s for second batch and gets slower and…
