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.

Title tag in Illustrator Editable PDF is not updating on save with "Press Ready" setting
I notice this when I open the Illustrator pdf in Google Chrome, it is using a title tag within the pdf to display the title. If I save the file as pdf with the preset "Press Ready" as is optimal for preparing print files with linked bitmaps, this tag is not being updated and chrome displays the original title. Often I will make files from other files as templates and it will show the name of the original file, which is confusing for clients who see sometimes another company's name in their file name. When I save with the "Illustrator…

Cannot place a bitmap TIFF into Illustrator (24.3 or 25.2)
MacOS Catalina 10.15.4
AI 24.3, 25.2I am unable to place any bitmap TIFF into the two latest versions of Illustrator. I tried two different versions of the file at two different dimensions and file-sizes.
I get the dialogue: "Illustrator could not read the file [Filename]. Try replacing this with another valid link.
I have never had this issue before. I tried a workaround wherein I open the TIFF directly in AI, and then copy/paste to my target file. However, the file is embedded and for large format work, this is not an acceptable workflow.
Please help. TIA

Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MBTwo bounding boxes appear in my .ai file they wouldn't have bothered me if it weren't for the fact that they distort the design on export.

SVG Import damaged
Windows 10 latest, Illustrator 25.2
Importing a Svg vector city map, the street names are not rendered any more. The file works perfect in Inkscape and any Browser, but since some versions of Illustrator they are gone. Installing the latest available 24.3 version, the problem persists.
Is there a download option for older versions since 24.3, since some versions before it worked over years.
File upload doesn't seem to work here neither...2 votes -
Live corners are stretching
The corners are supposed to be live, but yet they stretch/distort when transforming. Objects with round corners should retain their radii, or I should have the option/keyboard modifier to change this behavior. The radio button in the transform palette is not working.
The options should be scale, distort, or retain current value.

Illustrator 2021 crashes when trying to import AutoCad DWG
Every time I try and open an AutoCAD dwgs in illustrator, the options to choose what scale I want comes up and when I click ok, the whole program crashes and the pop up box comes up asking if I want to send a report to illustrator. I cant open any of my dwg drawings at all!
I've uninstalled and re-installed illustrator many times and updated it to make sure its the latest update and I've turned my computer off and on many times but nothing works. It worked for me before I updated so I think its the latest…

Network corrupting app repeatedly
I have read articles about how Adobe doesn't like to work with networks but my issue is my company does not allow for me to use anything off the network. We have extreme security settings so there is no option at all to work around it. Because of this, the app corrupts at least once a month and IT won't help. I'm the one stuck with reinstalling the app and all the settings constantly. Please help work on a solution for designers like me whose hands are tied with how we use the software. It's extremely time consuming and frustrating…

The pencil tool doesn't close the path when you draw small objects
If you draw a small dot with pencil tool it will not close the path. That little circle under the cursor indicating that it will close the path never pops up. So now you have to zoom in if you want to draw small shapes and get a closed path.
Changing the number in the "Close paths when ends are within:" doesn't do anything so that's not the problem. It's a new bug.
This was no issue in CS6. You could hold "Alt" to close the path no matter how tiny shapes you were drawing.

Actual Size View not to depend on Artboard
Actual Size View command (cmd+1) brings you to 100% Artboard view instead of 100% current view. If you are drawing way off any artboard, that command takes you to a completely different place from where you are.
Instead, I expect this command to have the same result as typing 100% in Navigator window or double-clicking Zoom tool.
I would also appreciate it if it respected the settings in Prefs>Selection>Zoom to Selection checkbox (currently the zoom box at the bottom of the window respects that, but the same box in Navigator panel doesn’t — which also looks like a bug).

Editing a symbol doesn't stay in-place and keeps artboards visible
1) Editing symbols in place doesn't stay "in place"
When I double-click a symbol to edit it in place, it moves to a totally different part of the artboard. When I try to position the symbol where I want it and then exit, it moves to a new place in the artboard. When I go to edit it again, it moves yet again elsewhere. It's impossible to get it to stay anywhere consistently.2) Editing symbols keeps the "multi" artboard context, which makes it hard to see the symbol you're working on because it's overlaid on the gray background, randomly…

Gradient tool hangs after using
Exactly as the title says. Using the gradient tool in the most recent versions of Illustrator results in the app not responding for about a minute.

Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBI work with two monitors. One is the desktop and the other is all of my open panels. When I unplug the second monitor from my MacBook Pro (or if it goes to sleep) it jams all of the open panels onto the one display and then SAVES the corrupted workspace. I’ve got over 20 corrupted workspaces at this point.
When I plug the second monitor back in, it doesn't fix itself, it's…

Fonts Won't Activate in Illustrator - Troubleshooting Tips Don't Work
I have no access to Adobe Fonts. I open a document, and the missing fonts dialog shows. I click to activate and they don't activate. It spins and then stops eventually.
When I go through ALL of the troubleshooting on the help forum, it doesn't help. I've done them... they don't work.
When I go online to activate the fonts, the message in my status bar says they are DE activated. It's frustrating!
For example, I just activated Gitan font from the font library, but I got a message saying the font(s) were DE activated. See the attached file for…
