Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator
Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

Properties panel fields don’t accept numeric input until focus resets (MacBook Pro, Illustrator 2025, macOS Sequoia 15.5)
On my MacBook Pro (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.5 with Illustrator 2025, I’m running into a recurring focus bug in the Properties panel numeric fields (Width, Height, Stroke Weight, etc.).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select an object.
2. Click once in the Width (W) or Height (H) field in the Properties panel.
• The field highlights, but no blinking text cursor appears.
3. Attempt to type a number.
• Input is ignored — Illustrator interprets the keystrokes as shortcuts instead of text.
4. Workaround:
• Open the Transform panel (Window > Transform) and type numbers there.
• After doing this,…1 vote -
This issue affects every .ai file on macOS when attempting to open them via double-click from Finder. A system dialog appears stating:
This issue affects every .ai file on macOS when attempting to open them via double-click from Finder. A system dialog appears stating:
“<filename>.ai” could not be found.
This problem has been consistently occurring since the introduction of Illustrator CC, and continues to affect all subsequent versions.
This is a severe UX and workflow-breaking bug. It makes it impossible to use the most natural way of opening files on macOS. Users are forced to adapt inconvenient workarounds.
Please escalate this issue to the engineering team and acknowledge it publicly. We ask for a fix or a detailed technical explanation of what’s…

Bug - Variable Concept fonts do not show on screen or in output
Mac OS 15.3.2
Illustrator 28.4.5
Plugins: Esko DeskPack Essentials 24.07; extensis Connect Fonts 27.0.0Variable Concept fonts do not show. The text box is visible when I change to View Outlines. I can select the text lines and see the colour and font information; the text does not appear on screen or in output. Our only solution is to quit Illustrator and restart. This seems to fix the view issues, but we now have to quit/restart multiple times per day.

Illustrator uses 100% CPU, sustained, even when idle and no documents open
I've observed many times that when Illustrator (29.7.1, on macOS 15.6) is idle in the background, it's running a 100% CPU task. Even if I close all of its open documents, the CPU use is at 100% CPU, and stays there until I quit.

Artboard Tool doesn’t create artboards based on a clicked object with an expected precision
When using the Artboard Tool to click on an object, an artboard should be created accordingly. However, this feature rarely works as expected, and the success rate is unacceptably low. We kindly request improvements to ensure more consistent and reliable performance.
1 vote'As expected' — how so? What result do you get? Can you share an example of a behavior you think shouldn’t be, a test file, a video, please?

Locate Object highlights the first child of a selected group instead of the group itself
When we select a group on canvas and click the Locate Object button, the tree gets unfolded and scrolled to the group.
But for some strange reason, the item highlighted in the tree is not the group itself, but the first child within.
This behavior is not new (although there was a time when Ai even used to keep the layer highlighted instead), but it feels odd.4 votes -
Export As in an action does not save parameters but uses ones from the latest export instead
When you record 'Export As...' as an action, and use PNG format, the parameters (resolution, anti-aliasing type, background color) are not saved in the action, but are instead just picked up from the last used export.
Is this not a big problem?
Aren't actions supposed to be self-contained?
If one toggles on the 'dialog' icon in the Actions panel (to let us pick settings on the fly), then it's no different from just choosing the Export As... menu item, so what's the point of the action?Tested with Win 2024

Cursor Moving on its own After Creating Clipping Mask
Often after I create a clipping mask the cursor will, on its own, slowly begin moving across the screen. I can see it flickering with each step. If I hit escape it will stop the cursor and return to normal. M1 iMac Sequoia 15.3, Illustrator 22.9.1.
This problem has happened to me in the past in previous versions, I can't recreate it when I undo and remake the clipping mask.

Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report--"屬性" (Properties / Attributes)
Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report
To Whom It May Concern,I've encountered a translation issue in the Traditional Chinese interface of Adobe Illustrator, where two different functional panels share the same translated name, "屬性" (Properties / Attributes), which causes confusion for users.
Properties panel:
In Illustrator 2024, this panel was translated as "內容" . However, in Illustrator 2025, its name has been changed to "屬性".
Its function is to dynamically display the most commonly used attributes and control options based on the currently selected object or tool.Attributes panel:
This panel has consistently been named "屬性" (Attributes).
Its primary…1 voteThe issue has been fixed in the latest GA 29.7.1 build.
The older “Attributes” panel now shows as “進階屬性"(Advanced Attributes) instead of just “屬性”.

Touch Type's alternate glyphs panel should ignore view rotation.
Okay, just, look at this screenshot. Look at it. Contemplate it for a moment. Ask yourself if this feels like the right thing to do.
The type itself is at about 45º to the edges of the artboard; I've rotated the canvas to roughly align with the type so I can have a better view of it while I think about how to properly deploy Bookmania's glorious OpenType alternate forms.
I really wasn't expecting the Touch Type tool's popup to match the alignment of the canvas' edges but in retrospect I'm not surprised. NOTHING drawn in the preview window aligns…

Mesh Envelope Distortion renders as shifted on Large Canvas
Taka look at the files attached.
Envelopes on large canvas render their distorted content shifted, compared to normal canvas.
It’s a bug similar to brushes: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/41713246

Appearance items loose focus when get an effect assigned
When I pick a fill in Appearance panel and assign an effect to it, the item looses focus suddenly — take a look at the GIF attached.
If my stack there is complex enough (and they often are), it’s hard to locate the fill/stroke I was working with.
...and surely Ai doesn’t allow to rename these to at least find them quicker — and here is the request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852

White words invisible on export
There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.
