Objects vanish when a PDF is exported
The PDF document is not being saved correctly. I have tried saving it in different ways, changing the elements and it still isn't working. I believe it is a problem in Acrobat itself perhaps?

Creative Cloud Fonts wont sync.
The fonts already installed via Creative Cloud show missing in Illustrator. It also keep removing the font from the font family stating font was unable to be installed due to an error. So every time I open Illustrator or simply start my system there a new font missing. CC sprouts an error regarding a font. Never had this issue before.

Flatten Transparency color change
Illustrator 2024 29.4 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro, Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165H 3.80 GHz, 32 GB Ram
When using the "flatten transparency" or "rasterize" options, there is a single line of text that keeps changing color. See screen shots attached. This happens regardless of what settings I select. I need the color of the text to be maintained through the operation.

Solid black bar 1.5" wide across entire width of screen blocking top part of opened file
On opening existing file, solid black bar 1.5" wide and across entire screen at top of screen blocks that portion of file. Cannot resize it or delete it. Cannot access that part of file for editing. Was fine 3/30/25 after upgrading Illustrator on that day due to issues of uncontrollable mouse action.

Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.

Problem with Grouping Layers
I didn't use to have this problem and it doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it happens it is annoying. That is, when I want to group two different sets of separately grouped objects into a grouped layer, what happens is that each of the layer groups with specific set of objects become combined into one single layer group. That is, the objects are no longer layer grouped by their original layer groups, but all the objects where combined into the same layer group. An Example would be: One layer group contains yellow objects and another layer…

Symbol swatches on network drives won't stay persistent
We store our color and symbol swatches on a network drive. If we set our color swatches to be persistent, they automatically load whenever we restart Illustrator. This is not the case with symbol swatches. We have to reload manually every time. We expect them to operate the same way as color swatches. Please fix. Running Win 10/11 and the latest Illustrator.

"Other option" for text in Properties panel slow down PC
Illustrator beta 29.5 35
When I try to open "other option" for text in the property panel the software slow down very much, I mean it freeze for at least 10 seconds and it happens every time. If I use the usual full Text panel no problems, but normally using the Properties is easier to have all in the same place, so it's a bit frustrating.

Asset export does not include appearance outside bounding box area of text objects (preview bounds are ignored)
In Illustrator 2025 (using version 29.3.1), when exporting assets, appearance elements outside the bounding box area are cut off.
In 2024 (28.7.5) and 2023 (27.9.6), all elements are exported without cutting.Reproduction Procedure
1. create a text object
2. add a bold stroke color to the text
3. add as an asset export item
4. export the assetExpected result
Designs with stroke color should be exported as in previous versions without problems.Appendix.
If a fill is added instead of a line and “path offset” is applied instead, this problem can be avoided because the bounding box is extended.…

Error in Startup Script - Line 2798: { No matching closing brace found
I am getting an error on launch of Illustrator, seems to have begun with the latest update.
Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/photoshop_v2025.jsx
Line 2798: {No matching closing brace found
The error can be dismissed and the application runs fine after that.
Note that this is an error reffering to a startup script named "Adobe Photoshop", but the error comes up when launching Illustrator. Interestingly, there is no error when launching Photoshop.

More than 32,000 anchor points can be added to a single path
The pathPoint limit is 32,000, and if we try to continue drawing a path from the end of a PathItem with the pen tool, a dialog box will appear and refuse to add anchor points, but we can add anchor points to the segments in between.

2. Add 32,000 anchor points to the path object.

「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない/Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.
Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。
・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
・Beta版と製品版(2025、2024)で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ回避策として
・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートするなどの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか?と疑っています。
バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。
When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.
- This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
- Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.
Workarounds:
- Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.
- Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other…

Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...
Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...
Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...
Shame!
