   Illustrator uses Autocad library licensed from Autodesk for open/import DXF files. The DXF/DWG files that are showing error during open/import are mal-formed, they are not created adhering to file format specification. Autocad application also does not open these files.

   
   

   Illustrator versions 24 and below use to open/import these files as the library used was a different one and it did not strictly check the dxf/dwg files for conformance. The same library did not had support for the some of the recent OS upgrades, resulting in Illustrator switching to Autocad library from Autodesk for open/import of dxf/dwg files.

   
   

   Please report such files to the application that create these files, so that the same can be fixed by them in future release.

   
   

   Any of the dxf/dwg file that could open in Autocad but not in Illustrator then those are bugs that will be fixed. If you have any such case, please report the same as a separate issue.

2. Bring back progress bar for saving AI files

   Can we please go back to having a progress bar when saving an AI file? The saving in the background is nice, but the saving percentage text just doesn't do it for me, plus, the pop-up dialog box that comes up while saving is very annoying.

   Hi,

   In order to get previous behavior, please disable ‘Save in Background’ checkbox (Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard > Save in Background).

   @J Bassell: There are two places where we show the progress of save (see attcahed image). You may read more about background save at: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/saving-artwork.html#background_save

3. Export for Screens: pre-export settings for PNG and JPG are same, but post-export JPG resolutions vary

   This is odd. I'm in Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1).

   I have a .ai doc open.

   I go to File->Export->Export for Screens...

   Under the Artboards tab, I set up PNGs and JPG 100s, at various scales using Width as the variable. (See Export for Screens Screenshot)

   I hit the Export Artboard button, and am notified of success.

   I go to Bridge to examine the results. (See Adobe Bridge Screenshot)

   The exported PNGs all have resolutions of 72 ppi (expected, good result).

   The exported JPGs have varying resolutions, from 12 to 72 ppi (unexpected, bad result).

   Why would that happen? Why don't all the JPGs have 72 ppi resolutions, while the PNGs do?

   Problem described in this thread arises due to using a single script for processing thousands of files without changing the context.

   A single script is executed in a single context inside the Illustrator application and we don’t have any mechanism to pause the script for changing the context thus allowing the OS to recover the resources used in this context.

   So instead of using a loop inside the script that is being executed inside the Illustrator application, we are suggesting to use CEP extensions and sending the script to Illustrator for execution in the loop. Now the user can create a string that may contain all the commands that need to be done for a single document and can have loops in the CEP extension to create these strings for each document and send a signal to Illustrator for the execution of these commands. In this fashion user can process thousands of documents without restarting the application and resources would be reclaimed by the OS as each script will run in its own context and the user would have more control over the execution and can even apply some timer or pause for automation.

   So for example:

   The following steps can be taken:

   • Create a CEP Extension and in which create an object of CSInterface.
   • Run a for loop for all the files to be processed.
   • Create a string containing all the commands that will be sent to the Illustrator for this particular file.
   • call CSInterface.evalScript for processing of all the commands in string created above.
   • user can even set timeout or sleep using javascript functions (setTimeout, sleep).

5. Exporting SVG using different methods provides different results

   When exporting as an svg using the native "Export, export for screens" Adobe exports the svg as an svg 1.0.

   Which isn't as commonly supported as svg 1.1

   However, if a user opens that same svg in illustrator and bypasses the export as, and just does cmd + s, it becomes an svg 1.1

   It would be useful to always have the same format rather than different ones. Preferably always save as svg 1.1

   Hi Daniel,

   Thanks a lot for reaching out to the Illustrator team. As a matter of fact, the newer SVG2 specification does no longer use versions anymore.

   The main reason is that all modern SVG import tools/browsers ignored the version number and just open with what ever is in the SVG file.

   Due to the implementation behaviour and the spec change and to reduce file size, all export scenarios do no longer export with a “version” attribute. That does NOT mean that SVG files get interpreted as version 1.0! The exported features matter not the version number.

   We will update the Save as (CMD+S) route in the future to follow the pattern of SVG export.

   Thanks,
   Dirk

   The downward cloud icon that you are referring to is a state when the file is present on the cloud but not present on your hard drive. Please download the file to your computer to access it.

8. Extremely slow "export for screens" and saving

   I'm suffering a performance reduction in my workflow thanks to the latest update (23.0). I usually have at least five artboards per file project--sometimes up to 20. I used to export designs within 30 seconds and now it takes up to 5 minutes.

   I haven't change anything in terms of hardware or workflow. My exports are slow no matter if the file goes to the server or to my hard drive. This is driving me crazy!

9. AI 22.1 Open single page of multipage PDF now a 2-step process?

   WHY, of WHY did you ***** this up? Formerly you could open a single page of a multipage PDF by simply clicking the arrows under the thumbnail. Once you found the page you want, you click open and there it is. Now, no matter what you do, the Pages Range is stuck on 1-1 (of xx). You now have to type in the number. PITA! Please fix this back to the old way.

   With the introduction of multipage PDF open it is not possible for us to tie the range field to the thumbnail previews. It is not possible for us to predict the user intent just based on previews he/she has seen. Here is one example user preview pages 1 to 3 and then decided to open pages 1-2.

10. "To preserve appearance some text has been outlined"

    I recently sent a PDF file generated from InDesign (CC2018) to a book manufacturer from which they were to make a brass die to stamp a binding, just as I have done for about twenty years. A proof was sent back to me in which the 1/2pt rules had thickened to about 3pts and some of the type had thickened, too. I complained and they sent me another proof, in which the rules were ok, but most of the type had thickened.

    I wondered how this could have happened, so I did some experiments. I opened the PDF in Illustrator (CC2018), thinking they might be turning the art into outlines. In Illustrator, the file opened with a dialog box "To preserve appearance some text has been outlined," which offered no way to opt out. Sure enough, the artwork (type and rules) had thickened as it did in the proofs.

    Why does Illustrator do this? It doesn't preserve the appearance of anything, it only ruins the art. This is clearly a glitch. To fix it, I had to edit the file extensively. In the least, there should be a way to opt out of this "feature."

    PDF is intended for Output and Document Sharing. In any workflow, if the content is to be modified without any data loss then the native file format should be used for editing. InDesign document or Illustrator document should be used to edit the content.

12. Saving AI to EPS produces 2 EPS "clones"

    Standard procedure in my Art Dept. is to save AI files as EPS when going to press. This includes outlining all fonts and embedding all images.

    For at least the last several months, I've often found that when I save an AI file as an EPS, it creates two nearly identical EPS "clones"...meaning they have virtually the same file name but are slightly different in size. An example result for saving "file_name.ai" would be:

    filename.eps
    filename-01.eps

    In all cases, the file without the "-01" would be slightly smaller in size (i.e., 4.3MB compared to 4.6MB), but aside from that they appear to be identical.

    Nevertheless, this shouldn't be happening, yet I can't seem to find a solution. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The issue is file sync services lock the file while syncing to their servers. At this point of time we do not support this workflow.
