1. Large images scaled down too much (with resolution larger than 7200 ppi) become immovable

   I'm not able to move images in my design. If I click image trace and make the image into a vector then I can move it, but as soon as I rasterize it back into an image then I can no longer move it. I also am not able to click to select the image, I have to drag a box around it to select the image.

   Things I've tried:
   - Checked for update
   - Restarted my computer
   - Restarted Illy
   - Restarted Illy while pressing shift-options-command
   - moved the file to my desktop (off of external drive)
   - cleared storage, incase my scratch disk was getting full

   None of these have helped.

   Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

   However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

   • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
   • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
   • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.

3. Properties panel fields don’t accept numeric input until focus resets (MacBook Pro, Illustrator 2025, macOS Sequoia 15.5)

   On my MacBook Pro (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.5 with Illustrator 2025, I’m running into a recurring focus bug in the Properties panel numeric fields (Width, Height, Stroke Weight, etc.).

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Select an object.
   2. Click once in the Width (W) or Height (H) field in the Properties panel.
   • The field highlights, but no blinking text cursor appears.
   3. Attempt to type a number.
   • Input is ignored — Illustrator interprets the keystrokes as shortcuts instead of text.
   4. Workaround:
   • Open the Transform panel (Window > Transform) and type numbers there.
   • After doing this, the Properties panel fields suddenly allow input again (cursor blinks and numbers can be typed).

   Expected result:
   Clicking into a Properties panel numeric field should always place the text cursor and accept number input.

   Actual result:
   Single-clicking sometimes only highlights the field without giving text focus, preventing numbers from being entered.

   System details:
   • MacBook Pro 2023
   • macOS Sequoia 15.5
   • Illustrator 2025 (please see About Illustrator for exact build/version)

   Impact:
   This slows down workflow significantly when adjusting object dimensions, since numeric entry is inconsistent and requires panel switching as a workaround.

4. Bug - Cannot access Hands on tutorials

   I was doing the hands on tutorials and then I loaded into the app and the section for them was gone in my tutorials tab. I found the webpage online that allows me to launch hands on tutorials from browser https://www.adobe.com/learn/illustrator?tutorialType=inApp&learnIn=1 and it leads to the screenshot provided. I would love to be able to continue doing the hands on tutorials. I ensured that I have no VPN installed, I updated graphics drivers, and reinstalled Illustrator to no avail.

5. Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used

   Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
   Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
   The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
   When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors, you get a warning about a Missing Profile (which is not true) when you create or open a file while the Global (or Spot) Colors are still in the Recent Colors (they are available across documents). If you click OK the file opens, just as it would with the warnings off. The warning will not show again during the current session. But if you click Cancel (as many times as the number of Global/Spot Colors that you have in your Recent Colors). The file will open with the recent Global/Spot Colors converted to None.

   Hi Everyone,

   We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 29.8.1 which is available worldwide now.

6. Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update

   I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.

   When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.

   Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.

   Thank you for your support.

8. Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)

   When an object with a gradient is rotated manually using the bounding box (corner handles), the gradient does not rotate with the object.
   However, using the Rotate tool or Object > Transform > Rotate results in correct gradient behavior.

   This silent inconsistency leads to invisible errors in print output — especially in professional workflows.

   🧪 The bug was tested on multiple Illustrator versions, macOS and Windows, fresh installs, and clean preference files. It is reproducible.

10. Upon reopening Ai files, it shows that fonts are missing when they aren't

    To fix the "error" I have to navigate to Adobe fonts, uninstall each font one by one, as uninstalling a font family all at once doesn't fix the issue, then individually reinstall each font. Super tedious and taxing to workflow. Issue is across multiple files, all that I have created on the same device that presents the "missing font" dialogue so I know it isn't a file issue. Please fix.

    Windows 10 Pro
    Adobe Illustrator v 29.5.1

11. [ExtendScript] Cannot set TextRange.justification to value in ParagraphStyle

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create new document
    2. Run the below script

    Expected Result: all tests passed and no alert message appears.

    Actual result: Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.

    Script:

    (function () {
    
        var doc = app.activeDocument,
            textFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
    
        textFrame.textRange.contents = 'Hello.';
    
        // prepare for the test, ensuring - due to the bug - that the justification won't match the applied paragraph style
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
        // test RIGHT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.RIGHT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to RIGHT.');
    
        // test CENTER justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.CENTER)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to CENTER.');
    
        // test LEFT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.LEFT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.');
    
    })();
    

    Additional note: in the link above, users discovered that performing a resize on the textFrame somehow removes the blockage and Justification.LEFT can be set afterwards. Perhaps it breaks the link to the paragraph style?

    Edit 2025-05-23: to add details about the possible link to the applied paragraph style.

    A possible temporary workaround:

    // set LEFT justification
    textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
    // now check it
    if (
        Justification.LEFT !== textFrame.textRange.justification
        && Justification.LEFT === textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification
    ) {
        // bypass a bug where we can't set the attribute that matches the applied paragraph style:
        //  - change the applied paragraph style's justification
        //  - then change the textFrame's justification to the style's previous value,
        //  - then return the paragraph styles original setting
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.LEFT;
    }
    

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

13. Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.

    The following code will fail with the error "Cannot get document 1". The error occurs when the save command’s with options parameter is a record containing a embed icc profile property.

    save document 1 in filePath as Illustrator with options {embed icc profile:true}
    I have verified that a) the ICC profile was already embedded in the source document, and that if I save the file via the GUI, checking the box to save the ICC profile works. Using AppleScript to save the Illustrator file does not retain the ICC profile.

    This fails on macOS 14.5 and Illustrator 27.x and 28.5. It also fails on macOS 15.4 and Illustrator 29.5.0. It also fails on macOS 15.3.2 and Illustrator 28.7.6 and 29.5.

    According to another user, JavaScript works properly. However, JavaScript is not a workaround for me.
    var d = app.documents[0];

    var saveOptions = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    saveOptions.flattenOutput = OutputFlattening.PRESERVEAPPEARANCE;
    saveOptions.embedICCProfile = true;

    d.saveAs(new File('~/testjs.ai'), saveOptions);

    Please help -- I need to be able to save an Illustrator file with AppleScript, that has an embedded ICC profile.

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674).

14. Enough with the memory sucking "upgrades" already!

    Hey Adobe, you've already forced us all to pay more for your subscription based software model now, so maybe instead of focusing so ******* building memory sucking AI generative tools for people who aren't artists, you should provide a version for the folks who don't need all this new ****. Stop messing with perfectly good and functional software that real artists want to use! I can't even tell you how many times the recent releases have crashed and I lost all my work, it's incredibly frustrating! I have a new macbook pro that can handle the demand, so the problems are clearly on your end. I miss the days of buying physical software. Give me Adobe Illustrator CS6 and stop forcing me to use your BS "upgrades" for more money, so sick of it!

15. HEX Franklin Variable Font is Not Visible when Editing

    I am on a Mac running Illustrator 29.4. I am trying to use the variable OTF version of HEX Franklin, and all Adobe apps do not render the letterforms. When I try to select the variable font in the dropdown, it just defaults back to Myriad or the default typeface.

    Other variable fonts work as intended, but specifically, this one is broken. Any possible fix?

    Seems to be fixed in the latest Illustrator build.

    Please comment back if it’s not for you.

16. 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?

    Mateus, please File > Package the document, save the PDF preset used into a file, and send these over to the team for investigation, to sharewithai@adobe.com

    Put the link to this report in the body of the email as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49687994

17. Gradient Strokes lose exactly 1pt thickness when placed and embedded into another Illustrator file

    When placing AI or PDF files into an Illustrator document, any strokes that have gradients applied will become exactly 1pt thinner than its intended weight. The weight shows properly before embedding the link. I've seen a number of designers use a gradient 1pt line on their artwork to seem "metallic" only to find their line completely disappears if their artwork is placed into another Illustrator file. This only applies if you embed the link. Leaving the linked AI/PDF as a link will preserve the correct stroke weight.

    This appears to be present in several versions of Illustrator dating back to at least around 2021/2022. I had thought this was already reported somewhere, but I wasn't able to find another post like this.

18. Locate Object highlights the first child of a selected group instead of the group itself

    When we select a group on canvas and click the Locate Object button, the tree gets unfolded and scrolled to the group.
    But for some strange reason, the item highlighted in the tree is not the group itself, but the first child within.
    This behavior is not new (although there was a time when Ai even used to keep the layer highlighted instead), but it feels odd.

19. Custom toolbars with plugin tools rearrange themselves alphabetically on launch

    Windows 11, Illustrator 29.3.1
    I use a custom toolbar with the tools I use most frequently (many Astute Graphics plugin tools), arranged in a specific order that I go to with muscle memory. Recently (2 updates ago?), they jumbled up – actually, they arranged themselves alphabetically descending top to bottom – but for my purposes, this is illogically jumbled, and I have to hunt for tools visually; it is very annoying and time-wasting. Then I noticed they were in my proper order again… next day, jumbled. I’ve worked out what is happening. First Illustrator launch of the day… alphabetically jumbled. Reset the custom workspace… still jumbled. Shut down Illustrator and restart… tools in the correct order. It only takes a few minutes, but it’s a daily ritual I could do without.

20. Eyedropper picks the color of the antialiased edge of a stroke blended with the background instead of the actual stroke color

    Eyedropper requires a ton of precision when picking a color of s stroke.

    Watch the GIF.
    Here I have violet and green lines, drawn above a raster image.

    I’ve mistaken and used green color instead of violet, and now I want to pick it from the existing line.

    I click, precise enough (I hope), but the color picked — the almost correct violet (C74,95 M74,61 — instead of the global 75-75) — is not in the background at all. It’s a BLENDED color of the RENDERED anti-aliased EDGE of the stroke! So Ai secretly rasterizes what it sees and then checks the tolerance, I assume. And the tiniest overlap leads to these cases. And trust me, this happens a lot.

    We can’t trust the tool.
