Saving as PDF loses all artwork outside of artboard - THIS HAS TO BE FIXED
For 15 years I have never had an issue saving files as PDFs. I have always used the save as Smallest File Size PDF option, I do a lot of large format printing so this is necessary in order to rip files in a timely manner to the printer. Now when I save a pdf all my artwork that's outside the artboard disappears, hours upon hours of artwork just gone, no warning. Its bad enough there is no longer a way to purchase the software so having to pay monthly and the constant terrible updates are ruining me and my…

2024バージョンで保存したのに、2025バージョンで開くと更新ダイアログで2024より前のバージョンで作成されたデータと表示され、更新箇所を確認できない
2025で開いたときに更新箇所を確認したいので、2024で別名保存して、2025で開くと、以下の表示が出ます。
「このファイルには旧バージョンのillustratorで作成されたデキスとが含まれています。テキストレイアウトが更新されることで、文字の配置が変わる場合があります。・ファイルを閉じる場合には「キャンセル」を選択します。・テキストレイアウトを更新してファイルを開く場合には「OK」を選択します」何度やり直しても、「更新を確認」のボタンがあるダイアログがでません。

Open or place PSD file does not keep any editable layers
I am trying to open a file that I created in PSD that has three layers plus some adjustment layers. Two of these layers are text. Regardless of if I open or place them Illustrator, the file comes in as a single bitmap layer. Open does ask me if I want to keep the layers and text, but it does not work. Place doesn't ask; it just places the image.

Export Assets (Elements) as SVG results in additional content in exported file
When exporting assets as SVG using Asset Export panel, additional content is added — content that I exported weeks ago. When using "artboards" to export everything is correct.

Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator
Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

White words invisible on export
There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

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…

Illustrator sometimes stops responding when trying to "save as ..." a recovered file
Illustrator stops responding when trying to "save as ..." a recovered file, afterwards one of two things happens. Either the application freezes and can only be shut with task manager, or a text box appears saying the printer driver is not compatible and opens the print menu settings
- Open illustrator, and textbox appears: "Illustrator just recovered from a crash" etc.
- press "ok" to open the document
- Document seems to function normally
- "Save as" (via file or via keyboard shortcut), destination is local on the computer
- Regardless whether it is renamed or not, press "save"
From here I have had a…

SVG保存時にスワッシュ字形等が書き出されない
macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
Illustrator ver.29.3.1再現手順
1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に「Air」と入力し欧文フォント(スワッシュ字形が有効なもの)を指定する。
2.OpenTypeパネルの「スワッシュ字形」と「タイトル用字形」をクリックする。
3.SVG形式で保存。その際、フォントをサブセットで埋め込む。
4.ブラウザ等で確認するとスワッシュ字形等がデフォルトの字形で表示される。期待する結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が正しく表示される。実際の結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が標準字形になる。SwashやTitlingAlternatesはスタイルに対してfont-feature-settings等の設定が必要になりますが、Illustratorはそういった設定を保存しません。また、フォントサブセットを保存した場合でも標準字形のグリフが保存されます。
EN Translate:
Step to Reproduce
1. open a new document, type "Air" on the artboard, and specify a western font (with swash glyphs enabled).
2. Click "Swash" and "Titling Alternates" in the OpenType panel.
3. Save the file in SVG format. (Embed the font as a subset.)
4. When we check the file in a browser, the swash and Titling Alternates will be displayed as default glyph.Expected Results
Swash and titlling Alternates are displayed correctly.Actual result
Swash and titleling Altermates are fallback…2 votes
