  2. Applying stroke for a non-grouped marqueed set of shapes removes fill from those objects (v25.3.1)

    Just as the title says, selecting a set of non-grouped objects and applying a stroke that selection causes all of the fills in those shapes to be removed.

  3. Gradient Fills and Drop Shadows

    Gradient fills are not working on text in Illustrator. It just turns the text black. Also, after I converted the text to outlines, drop shadows won't show.

  6. Color changes when saving as .eps

    Saving out a pattern with a purple background as .eps turns out as black when previewing the file on the computer or in pdf-reader and when opened on other computers. Opening the file back into illustrator still shows everything as purple.

    Right side show as the colors are perceived in illustrator, left side is what other software see when opening the file.

  8. Grayscale Swatches interpreted as CMYK

    In an RGB color mode, a created Grayscale Swatch does not survive. When copying and pasting an object colored with such a swatch results in a warning. I think this is because the swatch is seen as a CMYK-swatch ny the clipboard and not recognized as created in an RGB situation.

  9. Swatch filtering

    Hello,
    In previous versions of Illustrator, entering a Pantone number would highlight the swatch. Now in Illustrator 2021, it filters out every other swatch so I can't "browse" for adjacent colors.

    I don't even know what setting to look for.

    What's up with that?

    Thank you,

    Lynda

    Overprint fill, if all layer is chosen sometimes it shows like not all elements are chosen like overprint fill or oposite. It is serios mistkake as can cost a lot of money and lost reputation companies by this bug. This kind of error should be corrected immediately by Adobe. If not all elements are overprint filled maybe it can be a good idea to show like mid terms used? Dear Adobe Team, please answer the bug solution.

  11. Will not change stroke color

    I am trying to trace an object on illustrator but it will not let me change the color of the stroke, it will not even bring up the color swatches in the normal stroke panel for me to click on. I have tried resetting essentials classic, resetting preferences, and changing the view.

    There is nothing wrong with the file, as I can tell...

    The Swatches panel is empty indeed, the only swatch in it is the sport RGB white. Perhaps somebody deleted them to save some file size?

    If you want to have default swatches though, you can load them back.

    Open Swatches panel, click the 'bookshelf' 'Swatch Libraries menu' button, locate 'Default Swatches' and choose 'Web'. Now you can select a swatch you need directly from the opened panel, or drag-n-drop a selection of swatches you need into the main Swatches panel.

    Please comment back.

  13. Spot colours in gradients are not exported to PDF

    If I have a gradient that includes a spot colour, and then export that file as a PDF, the spot colour is removed from the gradient. This happens no matter what PDF export setting I use.

    See example images attached.

  14. Colour conversion values have changed?

    Our company logo uses 3 colours. 100% cyan, 100% magenta and 100% yellow.
    Had rgb values for these for years, but have done a conversion of the logo today and the rgb values are different to previously. Why would this be? In illustrator.

  15. カラー設定が勝手に変更される

    カラー設定が勝手に変更されます。オリジナルに設定したカラープロファイルを常に使用しているのですが、こちらが何もしていないのに「Adobe Illustration 5.5をエミュレート」に勝手に変更されます。以前のヴァージョンではこのようなことはなかったので、改善していただきたいです。

    こちらのカラー設定の不具合は、Photoshop を最新バージョン「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートすることで修正されます。
    お手数ですが、Photoshop を「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートをお願いします。
    それでも問題が解決しない場合は、Bridge の設定をリセットしてください。

  16. Configuração de Cores ficou horrivel

    Depois a última atualização do illustrator, as configurações de cores ficou toda bgunçada, o programa força a opção "EMULAR ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR 6.0", e quando acesso arquivos que ja tem as cores com seus valores definidos o programa muda as cores por conta própria. Não encontrei uma maneira de desabilitar essa função.

  17. My colors keep getting dull randomly without changing settings

    This has happened repeatedly on different documents. When I select a color, I find that when I look back at the file (without closing the file) in 15-20 minutes, the colors become dull. My settings are in RGB.

  18. tool history

    A file I created only three months ago in an older version of Illustrator (project still ongoing) no longer shows the gradations I spent DAYS creating. When I finally found where to get online Adobe support (that is not right), the tech had me download an older version of Illustrator as the solution. That does not seem like a solution. How do I keep these gradations in the new version? Why did they disappear? I have been a dedicated, daily user of Illustrator since 1990. I have more and more problems every year/upgrade. I used to always give your products/company…

  19. Color shift when distilling .ai files

    Colors in distilled files switch from CMYK to RGB since software update on March 14, 2020. This is very disruptive to my work flow.

  20. Mudança no perfil de cores toda vez que o illustrator é aberto ou muda de janela

    Meu illustrator está apresentando constantes bugs no perfil de cores. Toda vez que alterno as janelas de trabalho, ou abro algum arquivo novo, ou inicio ele do zero ele muda a configuração de gerenciamento de cores para uma opção "emular adobe illustrator 6.0" já tentei salvar as configurações de gerenciamento, já tentei utilizar o Bridge pra sincronizar as cores entre os apps e nada funciona.

    Poderiam me ajudar com isso?
