Not saving when made changes and saved, have to seve new name or different place. It seems that its saved but not.

Hi,

I'm currently using Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz on Windows 10 with version 24.1.2 of Illustrator.

I only started using software today (so i'm very much a beginner) and I have gone to open .ai and .jpeg but a tab pops up stating 'the file "abc" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'.

Can you help me fix this please.

I can't find any answers anywhere.

Thankyou,

Harry

There is an inconsistency between illustrator and the rest of the world (Photoshop / Bridge / Finder) regarding export resolutions.
When one exports a 100px board on Ai set at 300ppi the file info shows 422 x 422 i.e. 100 * 300 / 72 on Ps an export will show as 100 X 100 which makes sense and that’s how other programs view it.

When Illustrator got crashed I reopen the file and the file got recovered with a message saying (could not find a plug-in to read the linked file "links". .....)

and when I press (ignore) button I saw all my linked got missing and embedded also

Illustrator file gets stuck on 81% saving, I tried hunderd times and it doesn't want to save my file no matter what I do

2.The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues

Your expected result

表示に設定したレイヤのみが表示されているpng画像が出力される

Your actual result

非表示にしているはずのレイヤが書き出されたpngファイル上では表示されてしまう（イラストレータの画面上では非表示になっている）

When I press cmd + save, it saves but then asks me to save again.

Please advise.
I have had no communication since my last post.
Thanks.

If layers are locked, AI file won't save and close. It will continue to prompt you to save multiple times but won't allow you to close the file due to the asterisk. The asterisk will only leave if you save the file with the layers unlocked.

Cannot open one of my illustrator files.
Every time I try to open it illustrator freezes and doesn't unfreeze until closed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator, restarted my laptop, tried turning off the firewall. I tried attaching it to this comment but it wouldn't load.
thanks

Hello!

I am completely new to illustrator and thought i would use this spare time to see if i could create my own new logo!

I am trying to use a 'watercolour' brush stroke behind my text in two different colours which i have done successfully, however when i go to export my image, the brush strokes are appearing on the small preview image, but when the image is opened the strokes disappear. Is there something i need to do to be able to view these in large when exported?

Thanks,

Amy

I've been encountering this issue for a while now.

Whenever I save for web and need to size up an image or the image is not done loading and I click save but then close the box, everything freezes and there's nothing to do, but to force quit.

I've attached a video of the issue

Illustrator unexpectedly quit which created some recovered files upon the reopening of the application. When trying to save this file, Illustrator quit again. This keeps happening and I am unable to continue with my work.

I tried updating Illustrator however the same issue is happening.

Operating system: mac catalina 10.15.3
Adobe Illustrator version 24.1.2

Steps to reproduce
1. Rename IllustratorBug.txt to IllustratorBug.svg
2. Open IllustratorBug.svg in Adobe Illustrator
3. Open the same file in Chrome or Firefox browser
Result: Illustrator displays the image incorrectly. See the attached files.

Illustrator version 24.1.2

Illustrator currently increases the size of a file by 400% when using the "Export As" option and choosing to save at 300ppi resolution instead of 72ppi resolution. We tried several times exporting as PNG for an Artboard that was 5000px wide but the program saved the file at 20000px wide because we chose to save at 300ppi resolution. We contacted support and they stated that this was a "feature" of the application and cannot be changed.

If you have an artboard, let say sized at 160x160px, and export down to 1/10th the size (e.g., 16x16px) the export will be blurred on both the Y and X-axis in Illustrator version 24.

I have attempted to uninstall Adobe (both with and without my preferences), I have attempted to change the the PPI/DPI settings as well. Nothing seemed to fix this.

The only workaround I can find currently is to reinstall version 23, which will soon be removed from the creative cloud.
