  1. Turntable access bug

    Turntable previously worked for me, and has now stopped allowing me access with an upgrade message.

    I have confirmed with support my subscription level should include turntable and I have full generative credits left for this month (although they did try to blame that and I had to wait for credits to renew before proving it wasn't the issue).

    Yet clicking turntable from illustrator results in the error message:

    "Upgrade to generate
    You don't have enough standard feature credits or need premium feature access for this generative action.

  3. Place cloud assets and opening cloud documents

    1. Can't place cloud images, literally NOTHING happens. I have to restart computer to be able to place images. Sometimes not even restarting. I thought it was better to keep assets on adobe cloud, I think is better to have them stored somewhere else and used them as files. :/ Cloud is giving WAAAY too much sync problems.

    2. At least twice a week I'm not able to open documents because it says I'm not the user linked to that file, and I have to REINSTALL all apps! I'm getting tired.

  4. Color management keeps getting activated when opening files with placed images

    When opening Illustrator file with placed file containing color profile Illustrator automatically actives custom color management profiles even if previously color management was deactivated.

    1. OS version: macOS 15.7.4, Illustrator version: 30.5.1

    2. Steps to reproduce:

    3. With no document open, set color management settings to "Emulate Illustrator 6.0" to deactivate color management.

    4. Create new document, add an image with an embedded color profile, save the file and close it.

    5. Expected behaviour:

    6. On reopening the document the existing color management setting is honored (stays set to "Emulate Illustrator 6.0"), and no query is made to provide color profile settings for the opened file.

  5. Illustrator on macOS 26.5 hanging on start

    In the past few weeks I'm seeing Adobe Illustrator both 2025 and 2026 are not responding on mac at start up. It's variable, yesterday it was fine, today it's not. Extremely unproductive and disruptive.

    Sometimes the first document selection screen appears but then goes to Not Responding.

    macOS 26.5

  6. Cancelling the Print progress dialog leaves document unsaveable — Cmd+S silently no-ops (Illustrator 30.5.1 / macOS 26)

    Cancelling Illustrator's Print dialog before the print job finishes leaves the
    active document in a partially-locked state ("limbo"): the canvas still responds to
    interaction (you can pan/move the artwork), but File → Save / Cmd+S silently does
    nothing
    — no save dialog, no write, no error. The document cannot be saved through
    the normal UI and must be recovered through scripting or force-quit + data recovery.

    In the observed case the affected document had never been saved to disk, so all work existed only in memory. A user who trusts Cmd+S (which reports no error) can lose everything if the…

  7. Blend menu options not available when blend objects are selected (MacOS)(Illustrator 30.5.1)

    I've created a couple of Blend objects in Adobe Illustrator. When I attempt to expand those blends into individual vector objects via the Object/Blend menu, all the options in the menu are greyed out. Despite the blend being selected , not double-clicked into (not in isolation mode) or any other object being selected.

  8. Incorrect command names in Exporting Icons tutorial

    For the Illustrator tutorial: Exporting icons
    In the instructions it says Hide Rulers but it should be Show Rulers
    Also in the instructions it says Unlock Guides but it should say Lock Guides.
    With tutorials in general need to specify the Workspace because some workspaces offer different options than others and can be missing when doing a tutorial.

    I use Windows Pro 11, Illustrator 30.5.1

  9. New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines

    This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)

    Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

  10. ショートカット設定が起動のたびに初期化される現象 / Shortcut settings are reset every time the application is launched

    Urgent: Persistent Keyboard Shortcut Bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9)

    To the Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    This is a follow-up regarding a previously acknowledged bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9). Despite being confirmed as a bug, it remains unfixed in version 26.5.

    Issue:
    My custom keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F9) assigned to a specific "Align" command is being forcefully overwritten by the default "Pathfinder" panel shortcut upon every application launch.

    Impact:
    I have attempted to create and save new shortcut sets, but the application resets these to default every time it launches. This constant re-configuration disrupts my professional workflow and reduces productivity.

    Request:
    As this issue has been…

  11. Auto activate fonts option turns back on by it self

    Auto font activate keeps turning back on after I turn it off. I do not want it on because I use my own font service and sometimes I already have the fonts. When it auto adds the font it makes it so the font doesn't work at all then I have to go in cc app and scroll forever (because there is no search) to remove the font.

    Apparently the only fix is to completely turn of adobe fonts from the CC app which will remove all adobe fonts which is not what I want to do!! I still use…

  12. Unicode - or wrong code - in file names

    File names with strange characters produce strange and inconsistent info in the DocumentAfterSave and DocumentAfterActivate events. I keep adding regexes to my "fix name" routine....
    These messages belong to the same file:
    <documentAfterActivate><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%B9%20Basis-edit.ai</url><name>Designelemente basierend auf geometrischer und konstruierter Grafik ¹ Basis-edit.ai</name></documentAfterActivate>
    <documentAfterSave><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%C2ą%20Basis-edit.ai</url></documentAfterSave>
    So, this ¹ is represented as %B9 in one place and %C2ą (note: a letter with a waggy tail) in the other

    OS: Win 11, Illustrator all versions (at least back to 2019)

  14. Blend with a straight spine doesn’t look the same as a blend without it

    Here I’m checking a simple blend. One copy has a spine (a straight line with no handles), the other has it removed. They should be identical, but they aren't — the one with a spine is not uniform. I test this with the new Blend panel in Beta 30.6.0.27 (with the acceleration set to 0), and it works the same way as in the GA 30.4 release.

  15. Illustrator on Windows 11 does not reflect custom paper size selected in printer preferences

    I use Adobe Illustrator for production label printing with a tsc label printer.

    On Windows 10, when I opened Illustrator Print > Setup > Printer Preferences, changed or created a custom paper size, and clicked OK, the selected paper size was immediately reflected in Illustrator’s print dialog.

    After upgrading to Windows 11, this no longer works.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an Illustrator file.
    2. Go to File > Print.
    3. Click Setup / Preferences for the printer.
    4. Create or select a custom paper size in the printer driver.
    5. Click OK and return to Illustrator’s print dialog.

    Expected…

  16. フォントアクティベートがイラレで反映されない

    AdobeCCから新規フォントをアクティベートONをしても、イラレの方では反映されません。
    また、イラレのフォントパネルから検索→クラウドからインストールする場合は永遠と読み込み中になり、少し時間が経つと読み込みもなくなってしまいます。

    ・AdobeCCの再インストール→再起動
    ・AdobeCCでのフォント無効化 ON/OFF
    ・イラレ側でのフォント自動アクティベート外す
    ・フォントのキャッシュ削除

    など試みましたが改善無しです。
    必要なフォントが使用できずかなり困っています。

  19. Always crashes upon clicking All Formats (*.AI; *.AIT;...) button in the Open File dialogue box

    Any time I try to open a file and ACCIDENTALLY hit the button All Formats, Illustrator freezes and stops responding. I have to close the program. This issue has been consistent across multiple versions and 2 computers, and happens every single time.

  20. "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    Em versões anteriores do Illustrator (até a 24.1.3), o diálogo "Exportar para Telas" usava automaticamente a pasta do arquivo .ai como destino padrão de exportação, e lembrava o caminho entre sessões. Esse comportamento foi alterado em alguma atualização posterior e, desde então, o caminho de exportação é resetado toda vez que o Illustrator é reiniciado.

    Embora a correção tenha sido anunciada no Beta 29.5.52 (março de 2025), o comportamento ainda não está funcionando de forma consistente na versão de release geral.

    Comportamento esperado: ao reabrir…
