  2. SVG export

    Export Artboards as SVGs doesn't seem to work in the latest update (25.2.1). I often export svgs and pngs together from artboards and have never had a problem until this morning when using the updated app. It exports the pngs fine but doesn't export the svgs at all. I reverted my Illustrator back to 25.2 version and it works fine. I have a computer with windows 10 and have not experienced issues with this feature before.

  4. New Document dialog box text fields - highlighting of text fails consistently

    1. Illustrator 25.2.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Home

    2. Selecting the 'Create New' button on home screen (without no documents opened).

    3. When configuring the document on the right pane of the New Document dialog box, I expect to be able to (consistently) select text (e.g. width and height values) in the text fields by doing a press-and-drag to highlight it on the right pane of the dialog box.

    4. However, I wasn't able to highlight the text in the New Document dialog box. Instead, I have to press Backspace on the keyboard to delete the default before I can change them. Several tests…

  5. New Update (v25.2.1) crashes/restarts computer when opening up application

    Every time Illustrator is opening it is completely restarting my computer for no reason. It might be conflicting with a recent windows update or another program update.

    I used the change case tool and it removed my paragraph centering on my header line and the modified tab points.

  9. New Layer button change now inserts new layer BELOW active layer

    With the addition of the button for adding a new Sub Layer, the current button for adding a New Layer now adopts the same behavior of adding a layer BELOW the current active layer, opposite to what was legacy behavior before.
    I checked, and dragging a layer to the New Layer button to make a copy still deposits the new layer copy ABOVE the current active layer, so something isn't right with the new change.

    That said, nice new option I didn't realize was there in the New Sub Level button, convenient, thank you.

  10. Adobe Illustrator 2020 (24.1.2)-The latest updated version KEEPS CRASHING on MacOS Mojave

    Hi
    I'm having crashing issues with the simplest movements like dragging, changing the type sizes, accidentally double-clicking etc.
    First the screen freezes.
    Later everything goes blank/my screen sometimes goes full black and forced shutdown follows.
    I'm using Macbook Air - MacOs Mojave version 10.14.6. (1.6 GHz Intel Core i5/ 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3).
    This is happening every time I open up AI without exception.
    Note: When I started my computer in safe mode-AI is working normally.
    What should we do?
    Thanks in advance.

  11. Quick keys did not import to Beta

    When opening Beta my preferences had to be exported from regular Illustrator and imported to Beta. No big deal there... workspaces imported but quick keys did not.

  14. Can an illustrator / photoshop PDF be used as a template to generate PDFs in nodejs (or any other language)?

    I work a lot with generating PDF reports and what I constantly do is:

    Design the pdf in illustrator / photshop
    Lay it out with HTML using a library that changes from HTML to PDF (Using DOMPDF in PHP, html-pdf in nodejs, or a java parser that I can't remember its name).
    Implement it in the system using the variables to be substituted, like any other view (using blade in laravel, handlebars in nodejs, and java iText in Java)
    To which I wonder, is there a way to go from point 1 to point 3? In other words, export a…

  15. Resizing a constrained proportion shape not accurate to input

    In 'Transform', if I set it to constrain proportions, then change the size of a square to '50mm x 50mm', the dimensions automatically change to something like '49.4345mm x 49.156mm'.

    It also does this with any shape I created. So annoying! I think it worked back in 2019's versions, but with any version since doesn't.

    OS: Mojave 10.14.6

  17. Illustrator 2021 25.1 not opening files

    macOS Big Sur 11.1, Illustrator 25.1

    Double-clicking .ai files in finder launch Illustrator but the actual files do not open. If I drag the files to the Illustrator dock icon(after Illustrator is open) it will open one of the files (trying to open 8 files), then try thru open in File menu and select all 8 files, open a few of them.

    This did not happen until this last update.
