1. Files saved are missing images when imported into Photoshop, InDesign, other apps

   Lately I am having problems with linked files in Illustrator not showing up when I open the file in Photoshop for instance, even though everything looks fine in Illustrator in the original file. I have to go into the Links menu and relink everything one at a time and resave to make it work. I also notice that the file size is smaller when the linked files don't work.

   I tend to use linked files a lot and have for years so this isn't a case of unfamiliarity with the tool.

   Any suggestions are welcome.

   This has been fixed in the latest version - 30.3.

   
   

   This fix would not correct the existing damaged files but should not happen on new files saved from newest version. Existing files can be corrected by resaving them in latest version.

   
   

   Please check at your end and let us know.

2. Eyedropper + Shift changes text and adds stroke when applied

   When picking up a color from text with the Eyedropper while holding down the Shift key the Eyedropper will change the size, the fill and add a stroke when applied to text. When applied to an object, it will add a black stroke to the object.
   This does not happen when the Shift key is not used during sampling.

3. Libraries Panel Freeze & Distortion Glitch

   Persistent issue occurring on operating system: macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
   Occasionally occurring up on brand new computer macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-in, 2025)
   Both computers are on Adobe Illustrator Version: 30.0 (issue also occurred on 29.6.1)

   Steps to Reproduce:
   - Launch Adobe Illustrator.
   - Open the Libraries panel (Window > Libraries).
   - Work in Illustrator for a period of time (issue does not occur immediately but happens consistently enough throughout day to interrupt working ability).
   - Attempt to interact with the Libraries panel.

   Expected Result: The Libraries panel should display correctly and allow selection of assets.

   Actual Result: The Libraries panel graphic stretches vertically and becomes disproportionate. Items in the panel are no longer selectable. The only temporary fix is quitting Illustrator and reopening it, but the issue eventually returns. Typically occurs 10-15 times a day on this computer.

   Summary of Troubleshooting Attempts:
   - Verified issue persists across Illustrator versions (29.6.1 and 30.0).
   - Cleared Creative Cloud Libraries cache (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Creative Cloud Libraries/ contents).
   - Cleared Illustrator-specific cache (ILST and LIBS folders).
   - Cleared CoreSync cache (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/ contents).
   - Relaunched Creative Cloud Desktop and Illustrator.
   - Disabled GPU Performance in Illustrator preferences.
   - Verified Creative Cloud and Illustrator are up to date.
   - Issue persists after all steps.

   Additional Notes:
   - Problem began on the 2021 computer after upgrading to macOS Sequoia (did not occur on previous macOS version).
   - Occurs on all macs updated to Sequoia; we have 3 others we decided to hold off on because of this issue.
   - Other Adobe apps do not exhibit this behavior at this point.

   See screenshot for visual of issue.

4. Font drop down list won't allow font selection.

   Mac Studio
   Sequoia 15.6.1
   Adobe Illustrator 2026 version 30

   My font drop-down list allows me to preview fonts, but not select them. If I preview and click a new font to select it, the type window closes and my select text reverts to the original font. I've tried using the text tool and the selection tool - same problem. To change a font, I must type the ENTIRE NAME in the font window and hit return. Very time consuming. :(

   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.

6. Keyboard shortcuts for text formatting (kerning, tracking, leading, font size) no longer work in Illustrator 29.7.1

   This feature just stopped working. Please fix.

   These also don't work:

   Increase or decrease leading: Option + Up or Down Arrow (horizontal text) or Right or Left Arrow (vertical text)

   Increase or decrease kerning and tracking: Option + Right or Left Arrow (horizontal text) or Up or Down Arrow (vertical text)

7. Duplicate Artboards will always fail if even one artboard exists near the right edge of the canvas

   en

   Duplicating an artboard using the Duplicate Artboards command in the Artboards panel will fail if one of the artboards in the document is near the right edge of the canvas and the new artboard is at coordinates that extend beyond the canvas.

   It is not possible to duplicate the artboard by wrapping it in the Y direction. Therefore, when such artboards are in the document, it will never succeed.

   The expected behavior is that Duplicate Artboards will also do so, since you can copy and paste artboards and New Artboard will generate them with a wrap around.

   Environment

   • macOS 12.7.5
   • Illustrator 2025 (29.6.1)

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Open the attached file "duplicate_artboards.pdf(ai)"
   2. Select Artboard 1 and execute "Duplicate Artboard"

   Actual result

   The error message "Cannot create Artboard outside the canvas. Please rearrange and try again." appears and stops.

   

   Expected result

   The artboard is duplicated with the Y coordinate shifted down and the X coordinate aligned with the left edge of the previous artboard row.

   Workaround

   Select the artboard with the Artboard tool, then copy and paste.

   「アートボードを複製」は、アートボードがカンバスの右端近くに1つでも存在すると必ず失敗します

   アートボードパネルにある「アートボードを複製」コマンドを使ってアートボードを複製する際、書類内に1つでもアートボードがカンバスの右端近くにあり、新しいアートボードがカンバスからはみ出す座標になると失敗します。

   Y方向に折り返して複製することができません。そのため、そういったアートボードが書類内にあるときは永遠に複製が成功することはありません。

   アートボードのコピー＆ペーストや、「新規アートボード」では折り返して生成することができるので、「アートボードを複製」もそうなるのが、予期する結果です。

   環境

   • macOS 12.7.5
   • Illustrator 2025(29.6.1)

   再現手順

   1. 添付したduplicate_artboards.pdf(ai)を開く
   2. Artboard 1を選択し「アートボードを複製」を実行する

   実際の結果

   「カンバスの外側にアートボードを作成できません。再配置を行って、もう一度実行してください。」とエラーが出て止まります。

   

   予期する結果

   Y座標を下にずらし、X座標は前のアートボード行の左端に合わせてアートボードが複製されます。

   回避策

   アートボードツールでアートボードを選択した後コピーし、ペーストします。

8. Scaling down a placed image makes it unmovable

   After placing a PNG and scaling it down to fit my artwork, I was no longer able to move the PNG into place. I could only select it in the Layers panel or by clicking and dragging over it. There does seem to be a threshold before this happens — if I only scale it down a small amount, it seems to behave as normal, but if I go beyond 50%, it becomes unstable. Of course, the workaround is to scale the PNG closer to the size needed, but this behavior seems to be new. I am pretty sure I have been able to scale images freely in the past.

10. Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled

    While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.

    Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

    Anyone else has the same issue?

    The feature doesn't work correctly with tints for global colors.
    When a new tint of a global color is saved into Swatches, it gets displayed as an un-tinted one by Swatch Info, as the image shows.

12. Bring to front/back not working with new update

    Manually right-clicking and selecting "bring to front" and "send to back" aren't working. The shortcut (ctrl + shift + [ or ] ) is also not working. This seems to have started after updating to version 29.4.

    Every tutorial I can find hasn't helped. This bug has massively increased my workload as I use this action every few seconds.

13. 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.

14. Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)

    If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.

    I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.

15. SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.

    I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/opening-a-svg-and-then-re-saving-it-causes-severe-distortions-in-the-resulting-file/m-p/15123107#M434142

    Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.

    This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:

    1. FIRST select "Save As..."
    2. Choose SVG as your format.
    3. Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
    4. Change the precision value from 1 decimal place to something like 5-6.

    If you don't do this, any SVG you open and save (even if no edit was made) will likely end up malformed.

    You can replicate this by opening a SVG, nudging it maybe a pixel or two, and then saving it with ctrl+s. Re-open the file and then observe the obvious distortions and rounding errors.

    Right now, as it stands, It's so easy to corrupt any icons you might be working on if you are making changes from SVG to SVG.

    All you have to do is make a small modification, hit CTRL+S, and then ... boom! Your file is now instantly corrupted and rounding errors distort your paths.

    Here is an example.

    Original Image:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784478i544B7B1A8591C865/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

    Re-Saved Image:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784479i67374AE1F641A82B/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

    I urgently request that Adobe does something about this, such as letting users define their default save options somewhere in the preferences so that this sticks permanently. Right now, precision is reset to 1 decimal place on every launch of the application.

    Please add an "Export Options" section to the application preferences, or a menu item that allows us to set a default SVG export profile.

    I beg that someone on the team incorporates an option to fix this!

    Thanks so much for reading.

16. Edit Toolbar menu gets hidden when a toolbar is too close to the bottom edge of the screen

17. Pantone or other book colors in a CMYK document look fine in Overprint preview mode but get exported to an RGB images as dull

    When we add a Pantone or a different book color into a CMYK document, we can see how it looks 'for real' when we enable Overprint mode — all fair.

    Then we would need to share this image with a client, so we export an RGB image... and this image shows out vivid book color as a dull-and converted-to-CMYK-and-then-to-RGB color — which is not what we have in mind.

    This is a bug, honestly, I think, but also a request — we need to be able to export images as we see them in Overprint Preview mode... Ai respect overprints (there was a problem with that: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37832167), but not fully when it comes to book colors.

    The only way to workaround is to temporarily switch the document’s color mode into RGB (and not to forget to undo this later).

18. Add Discretionary Line Break

    Each time I need to insert a discretionary line break in Illustrator, I forget there is none. I go through menus, hoping to finally see it, but nope, it’s something InDesign has only.

    Please make one.

19. [ExtendScript] Cannot set Document.rulerUnits

    There is no way via scripting to set a document's rulerUnits (pts, mm, inch, etc) because the property Document.rulerUnits is—erroneously, surely—read only.

    If Document.rulerUnits was writable, we would simply do this:

      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      doc.rulerUnits = RulerUnits.MILLIMETERS;
    

    This is important because there is literally no way to set this via script, except to create a new document.

20. Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option

    Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.

    However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.

    So now this dialog is broken the other way.

    What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we can see it, example given, in Preferences > Clipboard Handling section, for AICB option (screenshot attached).

    So in this case the team hacked the dialog, so a user can enter a value without making an additional click, I suppose.

    And this hack works once, as shown in the second GIF: if we choose the Range option specifically, but then enable Previewed Page or All, the Range field gets disabled.

    I like we can enter the value instantly, but don’t like it means nothing.
    If you decided to make it this way, make it work in full, please.

    Doesn’t happen in latest build of Ai, the Range field is now inactive unless the option is picked
