  2. Unable to save

    This is not an idea, it is a serious bug.
    Apple OS Mojave - latest version, Illustrator 2022 - latest version.

    Saving doesn't happen. Clicking File>Save As and nothing happens, no dialogue pops up, nothing. Trying shortcuts on the keyboard. Same. Trying to quit the program, shows File not saved/ I click Save FIle and it does nothing. So, unless I force quit, there is no way to close the program. Illustrator seems to not initiate any action on my attempts to perform a SAVE. It is a HUGE problem for my work!

  3. It's 2022. Can we get some glaring, long standing bugs fixed please?

    There are long standing user requests for all of these:

    • 'Export for Screens' still adds extra pixels on exports unless the artboards are placed to exact pixels

    • Artboards can't be moved to snap to exact pixels, meaning if you move artboards you probably have to manually remove any decimal places in the artboard position, or else Illustrator will add extra pixels on export...

    • Smart Guides show up when creating or moving artboards, but don't actually work because creating or moving Artboards doesn't snap

    • Artboard names will randomly revert back to old names

    • In the Export for Screens dialog box, Artboard…

  6. File saving on network issue.

    Using current Illustrator v27..3.1 and files on our Windows network are saving as temp files rather than existing AI files.
    This is a major problem, as if operator is not opening the folder window, they will not see the temp files if they go via FILE>OPEN. Opening the existing file opens up the previous version and all amends are lost!

  8. Missing lines when import svg/pdf file to illustrator

    Many lines were missing when I tried to open the pdf file in Illustrator. Before I imported the file generated from Qgis, I released the clipping files and broke apart the paths in the Inkscape. I also tried the "place" tool instead of opening directly, but it didn't work when I embedded the linked files.

    Can anyone help?

  9. Can't Export to DWG

    You used to be able to export your file as a DWG, but in the 2023 update you no longer can. Why? If you opena DWG you can still save it, but if you open a fresh document you can't export to DWG like normal. CAD and illustrator crossover is extremely common and important to have and this needs fixed ASAP.

    At the moment of saving the file with "Save us" the pup up window freeze and the whole Adobe Illustrator also stops working. To be able to do something I need to "Force quit". But the action of "Save as" will not work, therefore I can not save my documents.

  14. Slopes of anchor points corrupted after opening PDF file

    When I open a PDF in Adobe Illustrator that was created in Adobe Photoshop, the slopes of the anchor points of a shape are corrupted. The interpolation between the anchor points doesn't seem to work properly at some point, see screenshot "Illustrator-Photoshop-Comparison.jpg". As a result, the shape looks deformed and egded, as if drawn with a shaky hand.

    I don't know if it's due to the export from Photoshop or the import in Illustrator. The PDF is displayed correctly in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I open the Photoshop PSD file in Illustrator, the paths are correct.

    Does anyone know this…

  17. Compound paths not saving

    When I make an object a compound path and then save as an SVG, when I go to open the file again, all of the compound paths have reverted to paths. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've tried an earlier version, I've done everything I can think of and still my SVG files will not retain compound paths. I'm using an M1 MacBook Pro, AI v27.2

  19. ファイル→書き出しにてJPEGを書き出す際、圧縮方式が選択したものと異なる場合がある

    Windows10/21H1 Adobe IllustratorCC 26.0.3

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1.アートワークをアートボード上に作成する。
    2.ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式を選択しJPGを選択する。
    3.ダイアログ上で圧縮方式を「ベースライン(最適化)」を指定しJPEGファイルを書き出す。
    4.書き出されたJPEGファイルは圧縮方式がプログレッシブになっている。

    想定していた結果
    指定したベースライン(最適化)でJPEGファイルが作成される。

    実際の結果
    圧縮方式がプログレッシブにて書き出される。

    この症状はWindows版のみで起こるようです。また、書き出し状態が異なるケースも見られるようなので他のパラメータによる影響を受けている可能性も残ります。
    わたしが検証したファイル3種類を添付します。それぞれがファイル名に付けた圧縮形式で書き出しを行っていますが、バイナリデータを見てもベースライン最適化とプログレッシブのマーカーが入れ替わっている状態です。
    この問題については以下のスレッドをご参照下さい。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/illustratorでjpeg書き出しするとプログレッシブになる/m-p/12795818#M27679

  20. Save As and Export dialogue box not opening / appearing

    running v26.5, Macbook Pro M1 14, OS12.0.1

    'Save As' and 'Export' dialogue box not opening so unable to save or export anything when running two screens.

    'Save As' and 'Export' dialogue box opens but is fully greyed out when only using laptop (see screenshot).

    Problems started a few days ago and cannot be sure if it was tied into an OS update.

    I do not run any plugins.

    I have:
    • Reset preferences
    • Uninstalled and reinstalled
    • Restarted machine several times
