Big ugly black square in the middle of my picture.
Every time I open a PDF version of my image, Illustrator adds a big ugly black square right in the middle of my picture, and there doesn't appear to be a quick way to remove it.

Huion Tablet and Windows Ink
I have the last version of Windows 11. Only on illustrator. I have a Huion tablet and the pen only has pressure when windows ink is activated. But as soon as windows ink is activated, it becomes almost impossible to click and drag any object with the pen, enter a group or chose a new tool (but no problem with the trackpad). So i have to chose between being able to work efficiently but drawing without pressure OR drawing with pressure but having debilitating lagging.
Is there a way to keep the pressure activated without activating windows ink ?

Illustrator 27.6.1 randomly freezing...
This is happenng to a few of the machines in my office. AI will randomly stop responding. The window will grey out and the only way to resolve is to force quit (I've given it an hour once to see if it resolved itself, but no).

Illustrator is crashing all day long, for no reason
Illustrator is crashing straight away, it just crashes and closes, sometimes recovering the file worked on at the time and sometimes not, and for no apparent reason to me. It doesn't crash with a specific file, it has crashed with several. I stopped counting after crashing 20 times in one day. I use a Creative Cloud account where I alternate using it between a Windows computer (at work) and at home on an iMac (home-office) and it only crashes on Windows. There is no conflict to report in System Compatibility Report in the Help menu. When it crashes and closes,…

GPU Preview Disables GPU Preview & Crashes erase Embedded Files
Running Illustrator 27.8.1 on macOS Ventura 13.5.1
MacBook Pro 16" 2022
M2 Max
32 GBEvery now and then Illustrator switches to CPU Preview and disables GPU Preview. This can be fixed (most of the time) by saving, closing the file, and re-opening it.
Somewhat related, Illustrator crashes daily, and when opening the recovered file, all embedded images are either invisible, black, or turn into noise. When looking at the "Links" panel, those files show up as 0 bytes in size.
Weirdly enough, general performance is fine.

Fan runs constantly after update to 27.4.1
Updated to 27.4.1 yesterday. Today whenever I run Illustrator, my fan kicks in on high. Activity monitor says "Adobe Illustrator Web Content" is using 100% of my CPU.
Using: MacBook Pro 2019, running Catalina 10.15.7
Restarting doesn't help. Only thing that helps is to quit Illustrator or run previous version (26.5.3)3 votes -

Rendering complicated files on MAC requires CPU rather than GPU
Something is wrong with GPU rendering.
My old iMac (27" 2016) used to have rendering issues with larger/complicated files. For example, using the HAND tool and moving around, sections would not render/refresh.
I thought, well it's an old machine the GPU must be dying.Then i got a new MacBook M1 MAX with 64GB Memory.
And I still often see rendering issues and need to switch to CPU.

Object editing actions stop working
Some actions stop working without reason. Sometimes I can't rearrange objects or even duplicate. That includes the Keyboard shortcuts for those actions. I need to restart Illustrator for it to work again.

Illustrator 2023 performance issues in Windows 11
This performance issue often occurs when I open Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time, making my PC perform extremely slow and lagging. it's enough to make me feel annoyed while working.
I've tried reinstalling Illustrator and Photoshop, changing the graphics performance for the Illustrator & Photoshop app to "High Performance", updating the latest GPU driver, cleaning temporary files, updating windows to the latest stable 2H22 version. but the result is that the performance issue is still not fixed.
additional information I use hardware: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RAM 32GB DDR4, SSD NVMe M.2 500GB, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti,…

GPU performance enabled, but Illustrator is still using CPU at 100%?
Greetings, I have a 4070 ti and an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x (12 core) with 64 gb of RAM config, windows 11 machine. I have resetted the config files (deleted all the folders there), whenever I open a project that has 3d materiales and objects in it, illustrator refuses to use my GPU, despite having all the relevant boxes ticked in preferences. Here is a screenshot of whats happening. I am a CC subscriber and using the latest version (27.6.1 64bit). My video card should be able to handle any 3d task I set to it silky smooth, just applying…

freeze on save
I have consistent problems with Illustrator 27.2 hanging/lagging (becoming entirely unusable, with any action resulting in a ca. 10-second wait) following saving. This seems to happen only if I happen to switch to another open window/program while saving is in progress. This has only been happening w/in the last few weeks, so perhaps connected to a recent update? The only way to correct the problem is to quit and restart Illustrator (even shutting down the individual file isn't sufficient). It happens whether or not I'm using an external monitor.
I'm on a 2022 14" MBP, 16 GB RAM, Ventura 13.2

PC performance issues when using the Shape Builder tool on dxf files (or vector format).
When using the shape builder tool against a dxf file (or vector format), the CPU usage is not high and not working.
When using Simplify on a dxf file (or vector format) to reduce the number of paths, the CPU usage increases to approximately 100%, confirming that the CPU is working correctly.
This behavior makes sense since the calculations are done by the CPU since it is a vector format.However, when using the shape builder tool, the CPU and GPU functions are not used.
I was checking the resource monitor and the CPU and GPU usage was about 3%~5%.1 vote -

Zooming on macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) and Illustrator 27.3.1 (and previous version) is h-e-l-l
When zooming in with my Apple Trackpad (external but also with the build in one) zoom is not smooth and lags. MacBook Pro M1 Max. My colleague didn't experience this while being on the latest Illustrator version, until they updated to the latest macOS version (from 12 to 13, Intel MacBook Pro). So my assumption there is a compatibility issue over there with macOS. The experience while zooming with GPU is normally smooth, but now it is worse then zooming in CPU mode. Changing, rebooting and reinstalling didn't work.
