  1. Bounding box does not rotate correctly with certain elements

    If you take two lines and make an X shape and group it, when rotating this shape (say 30%), the bounding box resets to straight up and down (as opposed to rotating with the X shape) so any further scaling of this shape will be off. In this case, the X will become asymmetrical with any further scaling. This is a new bug as previously versions of Illustrator kept the bounding box oriented as it was originally.

    This is on a Mac with the latest Illustrator CC.

  2. Disappearing Content

    After zooming in or isolating objects, other objects disappear upon zooming out. I have to select and isolate invisible objects in order for them to reappear.

  4. AIGPUSNIFFER doesn't quit

    Version 21.1.0

    When quitting illustrator the AIGPUSNIFFER process continues to run, even though it should terminate, unless the task is manually ended in task manager. This is a huge issue considering it puts CPU usage at a high level which consequently affects battery life.

  5. Illustrator shows paths with extremely many points incorrect, without showing a warning to user

    Sometimes EPS files I want to open in Illustrator contain paths with many many points. When opening in Illustrator no warning is shown, but polygons are not shown correctly as the fill color is disappeared (and the polygon path seems to be broken/not closed anymore). Is the limit 32.000 points? If so: please enlarge this amount OR show a warning when opening a file: now users cannot trust your Illustrator here.
    Example file:

  6. Keyboard doesn't register a shortcut

    In Adobe InDesign and Photoshop you can assign any key on an international keyboards to any function.
    Illustrator do not recognize international keyboards. You may register but it won’t work.
    What a shame since it's the oldest app in the family.

  8. GPU Performance stops working when enabled

    Illustrator 21.1.0 (64-bit)

    GPU Performance shuts off whenever I open a file. I have to close the file, turn off GPU Performance (yes, turn it OFF in preferences), then turn it ON again, then reopen my file to get it working again. I've been complaining about this for months, and Adobe has ignored my complaints. All updates including drivers have been installed and I've completely removed and reinstalled Illustrator.

  9. User guide correction

    Customer support asked that I make this post via their twitter account. I found that the content in the user guide identifying the various symbols and marks of the swatch panel is not accurately labeled. E and F are wrong. They should say LAB and RGB but they instead are calling the icons CMYK AND RGB. Could be highly confusing those just learning the software. Thanks!!

  10. Illustrator doesn't find color profile, which are shown in Indesign

    Hi everybody,

    I installed an eci color profile (pso-coated_v3) on my windows 10 computer (right-mouse-click, then install). In Photoshop CC and Indesign CC everything is fine, so it is installed correctly. But the new profile isn't shown in Illustrator CC.

    I reopened Illustrator and also de- and reinstalled it...

    Does anybody has got an idea, why the new profile doesn't show in in the color-settings of Illustrator?

    Thanks a lot!

    Best wishes
    Rene

  12. Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths

    I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.

    Adobe Illustrator CC (latest) Windows 10 64bit

    Steps:
    1. Open the attached AI file (which was converted from SVG by opening then saving in Illustrator).
    2. Select any part of the logo.
    3. Copy using Edit -> Copy or CTRL+C
    4. Paste using Edit -> Paste or CTRL+V
    5. The application…

  14. Concept to Vector fails mid-process with non-actionable error message

    When using Concept to Vector, the process consistently fails approximately halfway through execution.

    Instead of explaining why the operation failed, Illustrator displays the following message:

    "Please slow down and try again later."

    The operation is then aborted.

    The message does not provide enough information to understand the cause of the failure or how to resolve it. It is unclear whether the issue is related to service availability, account limitations, usage limits, network connectivity, the source image, or another factor.

    As a result, the only available option is to repeatedly retry the operation without knowing whether the problem is temporary or…

  16. ファイル名変更後も旧ファイル名がドキュメントタイトルに残り、書き出しファイルに継承される不具合

    Illustratorにおいて、ファイル名の変更に対してメタ情報の「ドキュメントタイトル」が適切に更新されず、古いファイル名が残ってしまう現象を確認しました。
    また、この書類が書き出した画像ファイルの情報にもそのまま継承されることを確認しています。

    以下に具体的な操作手順と、それぞれのファイル名やドキュメントタイトルの状態を示します。

    ■1 新規ファイル作成
    プロファイルから「A4テンプレ1」を選び、名前(ファイル名)を「書類A」に変更して開く
    ファイル → ファイル情報 からメタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」を確認する
    結果: 現ファイル名の「書類A」と同じではなく、変更前のファイル名「A4テンプレ1」となっていました。

    ■2 そのままJPEG書き出し
    ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式 でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果: ファイル名は「書類A」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイル名と同じ「A4テンプレ1」でした。

    ■3 新規ファイル「書類A」を保存
    まだ保存されていなかったこのAiファイルを ファイル → 保存: 書類A.ai
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」に変更されました。

    ■4 再びJPEG書き出し
    書類A.ai から、ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式 でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」でした。

    ■5 書類Aを「別名保存」し、書類Bを作成
    書類A.ai から、ファイル → 別名保存で 書類B.ai を作成
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類B」に変更されました。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像は、ファイル名・ドキュメントタイトルどちらも「書類B」でした。

    ■6 書類BをOS上で名称変更
    書類B.ai のファイル名を、OS上で 書類C.ai と書き換える
    結果: ファイル名は「書類C」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイルと同じ「書類B」のままでした。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像も、ファイル名が「書類C.jpg」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。

    この現象は、ユーザーにとって明らかな不具合だと思います。
    具体的には■2や■6の挙動が問題で、Aiファイルの名称とドキュメントタイトルが一致せず、書き出された画像に想定外の情報が残ってしまうことは、ファイル名とメタデータの整合性が失われますし、トラブルの原因ともなるため、単なる仕様と見過ごすことはできません。
    また、そもそも多くのIllustratorユーザーがこの挙動に気付かず、不適切なタイトルを刻んだ画像ファイルを生み出していると思われます。
    なぜなら、この「ドキュメントタイトル」という情報は、Macの標準的なFinder機能「情報を見る」を使っても表示されない項目だからです。
    しかもこの情報はWindowsではたやすく表示されるため、自らMacで意図せず埋め込んだ画像の不適切な情報が、納品先のWindowsで視認されている可能性があるのです。

    ※Windowsでの「ドキュメントタイトル」確認方法
    ファイルを選んで「プロパティ」から「詳細」タブを開くと、「タイトル」を確認することができます。
    また環境によっては、ファイルアイコンの上に矢印を置くだけで表れるファイル情報の中に、ドキュメントタイトルの情報が表示されます。

    具体的なリスク例(画像参照):

    ●ファイル名「ダメ課長のダメな案.ai」をOS上で「上司B案.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
       ↓
     ドキュメントタイトルが「ダメ課長のダメな案」のまま表示され、トラブルとなる。

    ●ファイル名「2026年8月.ai」をOS上で「2024年12月.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
       ↓
     ドキュメントタイトルが「2026年8月」のまま表示され、混乱を招く。

    なお、この不具合は、書き出したファイルの種類で結果が異なります。

    TIFF: JPGと同じ不具合が生じます。いずれもメタ情報の有無は選べず、必ず埋め込まれます。
    PSD:  Photoshopから「ファイル情報」を確認
     →「書類C.psd」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。
    PDF:  Acrobatから「プロパティ」を確認
     →「書類C.pdf」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類C」に揃えられていました。
       (ただし保存の条件で変わると思われます)
    PNG・WEBP: そもそも「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されません。
    他は未検証です。
    なお、メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されるファイルでは、撮影日時、プログラム名(Illustratorバージョン)も保存されていました。

    過去の類似する記事では、書き出し後の対処について書かれていても根本的な解決には至らず数年経過しており、また前述の通りMacユーザーにとっては大変見えづらいトラブルであることから、早々の解消が望まれる深刻なバグとして改めてここに報告いたしました。

  18. Wacom ExpressKey Remote Touch Ring zoom fails when GPU Performance is enabled

    Illustrator: 30.8.2
    Windows: Windows 10 Home 22H2
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
    Wacom: Cintiq 27QHD + ExpressKey Remote EKR-100
    Wacom driver: WacomTablet_6.4.5-5 and newer

    Description:

    In Illustrator 30.8.2, the Wacom ExpressKey Remote Touch Ring does not zoom correctly when GPU Performance is enabled.

    When rotating the Touch Ring, the canvas briefly flickers/shakes and may zoom by only one step, then stops responding.

    The problem disappears immediately when I disable:

    Preferences → Performance → GPU Performance

    With GPU Performance disabled, the Touch Ring zoom works normally and continuously.

    I have confirmed that:

    Wacom Diagnostics correctly detects Touch Ring rotation.
