  1. Aparece el error: No se puede completar la operación debido a un error desconocido. [STEX]

    Al mover, seleccionar o utilizar el creador de formas en un elemento me aparece el error, ya probé actualizando el programa, eliminandolo y volviendolo a descargar, eliminando caché, reiniciando la computadora, etc.
    Lamentablemente el problema persiste.

  2. Illustrator Freezing

    Adobe Illustrator had been freezing for a week.
    Mac OS Ventura
    AI v 28.4.1

    When I go to Force Quit, it doesn't show it's not responding. I can't save or close files with Command+S or Command+W. When I right click and close from the dock, it crashes.

    I can't reopen AI by clicking the icon in the doc or the Creative Suite app. The only way to get it to run is by going to my Folder and selecting an AI file to open. When is does reopen, it says it is recovering from a crash.

  3. some SBSAR files apply weirdly in illustrator

    when I applied 3d texture to object with some SBSAR file downloaded from substance assets, the texture of object looks matted color.

    both RGB and CMYK the files didn't work well

    but the texture works well in substance painter.
    It seems bug to fix in Illustrator.

  4. レビュー用に共有のページがエラーばかりでほとんど見れない

    タイトルのとおりですが、共有ページへのリンクを開いてもほとんどエラーでページが表示されません。自分だけではなく、会社の同僚もみんな同じ様な状態です。リロードしてもスーパーリロードしても全く関係なくエラーが出続けます。もう通算数百回くらいエラーが出ていますがまるで改善されないため報告に来ました。たまにエラーが出るくらいならまだよいのですが、たまにちゃんとみれる(5回中1回くらいはちゃんと表示されます)というような状態なので早急に改善をお願いできますか。

  5. Reproducible crash > flatten transparency w/ text to outlines, then direct selection

    I've been getting a lot of crashes after flattening a linked PDF and then selecting an area with a significant amount of vector outlines (i.e. a few paragraphs of text or a complex drawing). Illustrator instantly crashes when I make the selection with the white arrow direct selection tool.

    I can send you an example PDF and AI file that contains a full explanation of how to reproduce the crash. To be clear, it's not just this PDF file – I'm getting crashes with many different PDF files from various sources when I perform similar operations on them.

    This is a…

  6. Size issue importing from Illustrator to After Effects

    When exporting from a large size canvas Illustrator file and importing into After Effects there is a bug. It imports all of the elements at 10% of the correct size so they appear tiny in After Effects.

  7. Letter "N" symbol instead of hyphen when hyphenation is activated

    Hi,

    We have a problem with a certain file. After first auto activation of a font, the hyphen character is replaced by a "N". When we then close the file, not Illustrator, so fonts stay active and simply reopen the file, the hyphen is displayed correctly.

    We use Connect Fonts for fontmanagement, but apparently the problem is on the Adobe side (according to Extensis)

    OS: Windows 11 and MacOS Sonoma (latest version)
    Most recent version of Illustrator

  8. Strange behaviour when scaling rectangles

    In Illustrator 28.4.1 on Windows 11, if a rectangle is rotated to 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees, it isn't able to be reliably manually scaled. Some edge and corner handles snap to unpredictable positions when dragged.

  10. Problème Export 3D dans Illustrator: fichier .OBJ et USDZ

    Dans illustrator, après avoir appliqué l'effet 3D, je l'exporte en fichier .OBJ et .USDZ.
    Les problèmes sont:
    - Bug de luminosité (trop forte et non corrigeable) du fichier .OBJ dans After effect (Image ci jointe)
    - Bug du fichier .USDZ (absence de texture) lors de l'affichage en réalité augmentée sur Iphone (derniere version IOS 17.4.1) (image ci jointe)

    Pouvez-vous corriger ces bugs svp? trop nombreux à mon gout pour un logiciel payant..

    Merci d'avance,

  11. Using a # in layer name and saving as SVG does not properly save layer names

    In the newest Adobe Illustrator version 28.4.1 when naming a layer with the # and saving as an SVG the export file when opened does not include the # in the layer name. This has never been an issue in previous illustrator versions, and for the work I do I rely on that naming convention to work with the system we integrate SVGs with. I've had to downgrade to a previous version where this does not occur.

  12. All Text is not visible and Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large issue.

    I opened a project I was working on last week this morning and encountered this issue. All my text is not visible and I cannot move any text boxes without an error message coming up stating: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large. I tried all the other solutions listed that could be found on Google and this forum. It happens for every project I open. I attached images of what I see and the error message.

  13. Illustrator keep crashing

    I use Illustrator v 28.4.1. It keeps crashing every single time i open the app. I keep uninstalling and re-downloading Illustrator, at its latest version and also previous versions (i tried v 27.9.3, it won't open either). I don't know how to make it work anymore.

    I work on a HP spectre 360x convertible.

  17. Horizontal scroll doesn't work

    When I try to use 2 fingers on my trackpad (MSI GS65 Stealth) to scroll horizontally it brings up my media controls instead. I have a gesture for 3 fingers set to adjust volume and that works fine but for some reason it 2 finger horz scroll just brings up the media adjustments again.

  19. Selection Tool Stops Functioning

    The selection tool stops functioning when Illustrator has been open for a while. It will work as expected and then it will stop functioning, either not allowing me to select an object or group at all, or it will allow the select but then nothing happens when you try to click on a corner of an object to either move it or resize it. Opening and closing the file does no good. I have to close Illustrator and re-open it and the tool will start functioning again. It seems like a memory issue.

  20. OS 14.4.1 Printer Page Size Features Lost

    I just updated to Mac OS 14.4.1 on a Mac mini (M1 2020) and now most of the paper size options in the Adobe printer dialogue box are gone. In any non-Adobe app, all 58 paper sizes are still available. In Adobe apps, there are only 14 paper size choices — all of the borderless choices are gone as well as some other, more obscure paper sizes. I've restarted, reloaded the printer driver and it's not made a difference. Looks like OS 14.4.1 messed up something that only affects Adobe products.
