  1. CMYK-Werte im Farbwähler werden nach „Ohne Farbe“ in RGB umgewandelt – trotz CMYK-Dokument

    Ich arbeite in einem Illustrator-Dokument im CMYK-Farbmodus. Wenn ich die Flächenfarbe eines Objekts auf „Ohne Farbe“ setze und danach über den Farbwähler neue CMYK-Werte eingebe, wandelt Illustrator diese automatisch in RGB-Farben um – obwohl das Dokument und die Farbeinstellungen vollständig auf CMYK eingestellt sind.
    Das Problem tritt seit Kurzem in allen neuen und bestehenden Dateien auf, auch nach Zurücksetzen der Voreinstellungen und Neuinstallation.
    Der Fehler lässt sich jederzeit reproduzieren:
    Neues CMYK-Dokument erstellen
    Objekt zeichnen, Fläche auf „Ohne Farbe“ setzen
    Über Farbwähler CMYK-Wert eingeben
    Illustrator wandelt die Eingabe in RGB um
    Das Verhalten widerspricht dem erwarteten Verhalten in einem CMYK-Dokument und…

  2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定したドキュメントをPDFで書き出したものがオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる

    macOS13.6.7/iMac27inch(Intel)
    Illustrator ver.28.6

    再現手順
    1. いくつかの図形を重ねて合成モードを乗算に設定したうえでグループ化しグループの抜きのチェックボックスを外す。
    2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定する。
    3. PDF X4で保存する。
    4. そのPDFをAcrobatで開く。
    5. Illustrator上でのオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる。

    Actual result
    PDFを書き出した状態とIllustrator上での表示が異なる。

    Expected Result
    PDFの表示とIllustrator上での表示が同じになる。

    Illustrator上でのグループの構造の違いがIllustrator上のレンダリング結果とPDF書き出し結果で相違が生じています。1でのグループの抜きのチェックを外したグループではIllustrator上ではグループ内ので抜き処理を行わず合成モードの処理を行います。これがPDFを書き出した際にグループの抜きと解釈され、全てがノックアウトされた状態でPDFが作成されます。どちらが正しいかという事は難しいのですが、グループに設定されたノックアウトを拒否する設定をPDF書き出し時にも有効にするほうが表現の幅が拡がるように思います。

    Step to reproduce

    3. save the document as PDF X4 format.
    4. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
    5. The overprint preview in Illustrator is different between PDF.

    Actual result
    The display in Illustrator is different from the exported PDF.

    Expected Result
    The display of the PDF and the…

  3. 29.1.0 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing on right click menu when a nested group is selected.

    Illustrator version 29.1.0
    Windows 10.0.19045

    To replicate:

    1. Create group that contains a group
    2. Select group
    3. Right click the group
    4. 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing. In its place is the new 'Ungroup all' item.

    When the above actions are performed to a group without a nested group, the 'Isolate selected group' menu item appears as it should.

  5. Greek text now keep accents with All Caps and is not consistent with UPPERCASE result

    This has to do with the new update where all files previously created using Greek language using CAPS now all have accents. Now every time we need to change the language to Greek for accents to disappear. I'm sure this will be an issue for greeks around the world.

  6. Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info

    If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.

    I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
    But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.

    If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and…

  7. Javacript locking embeded image

    In Illustrator 29.1 this script worked just fine. I place an image, move it, name it, lock it and embed it. But in 29.3 this code gives an error message: It says that it cannot operate on a locked layer, BUT it still locks the placed item. If I move the lock to after the embed, the lock does not happen. So this code no longer works in 29.3.

    I think its weird in 29.1 that you were allowed to lock the placeditem before you embed it, but it doesn't work if you lock it afterwards.

  8. Objects hidden in Layers panel stay visible in Preview mode, but not in Outline mode

    Visibility toggle in Illustrator via Layers panel is inconsistent. However, toggling layer visibility in Outline mode remains accurate. See video. Adobe Illustrator v29.6.1, Win11

  10. A group with any Warp effect applied to it fails to render hidden objects within when these are shown back

    When an image with 3 or more layers is grouped together then an arch effect is added to that group, the layer visibility toggle behaves strangely in a way where the layers disappear but do not reappear. once the layer visibility is back to on but the image cannot be seen Illustrator will allow you to click and drag the area to grab the "hidden" layer but it is now only an outline with no color fill until you move it. or refill the color. This is a feature we have used for years and never had an issue until…

  11. Adding new anchors with Pen tool when Snap to Grid is enabled is treated wrong and inconsistently

    Illustrator allows to snap stuff to grid, but really doesn’t love doing it (here’s a request about the tolerance and how it’s to harsh in general: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49616738)

    Here in a GIF I’m creating a simple path with anchors placed on a grid. After closing the shape, I decide to add several points in-between, and have them on the grid as well... but the only anchor I can place normally is the one in the middle, that happen to be exactly (within an unknow tolerance) at the intersection of the grid lines (and the cursor gets a + to indicate…

  13. Illustrator reverts all the work done and doesn’t allow to expand

    It’s just I'm doing work — and it reverts back to the start of my process and isn’t saving the work I work on as I go.
    Also it doesn’t let me expand shapes and sizes.

  14. There is a delay and lag when copying in Adobe Illustrator 2025 29.5.141

    When using Adobe Illustrator 2025, there is a delay and lag when copying. When performing a Ctrl+C copy of graphics or text, or when manually dragging, there is a delay and lag in the response, and the copy does not appear immediately. If a zoom operation is performed during a Ctrl+C copy, the delay and lag become even more pronounced.

  16. Move/Copy doesn’t remember last used settings

    When using Move/Rotate tool multiple times, UI 'remembers' last setting (helpful).

    When using Move/Copy tool, it not only doesn't remember previous setting, it seems to randomly create new settings (not helpful).

  17. Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.

    The following code will fail with the error "Cannot get document 1". The error occurs when the save command’s with options parameter is a record containing a embed icc profile property.

    save document 1 in filePath as Illustrator with options {embed icc profile:true}

  18. テキストに適用したSVGフィルタがテキストのトラッキングに追随しない

    2.作成したテキストに任意のSVGフィルタを適用する。
    3.テキストのトラッキングを適当に入力するかoption+→で文字感覚を操作する。
    4.テキストハイライトは変化するが、フィルタープレビューは変化しない。
    5.また、あらかじめトラッキングを適用した文字列にSVGフィルタを適用するとトラッキングが解除された状態でSVGフィルタが適用される。

  19. Share for Review links are not working for my stakeholders

    I just updated to v29.8.2 yesterday and now all of my share for review documents cannot be viewed by anyone but me. The links are set to "anyone with this link can comment" but when they try to open the file it says "404 asset not found". I have tried regenerating the link and it did not solve the problem. This is happening with multiple people using mac and windows computers.

    MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1

  20. Artwork gets shifted when an artboard is resized with width and height constrained and Scale Artwork Constrained enabled

    CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option. When we drag the transformation frame with the Artboard tool, the objects are scaled synchronously, and the position’s calculated properly.
    However, when we start to enter the width or height of the artboard, with Constrain locked, the objects get shifted relative to the artboard after being scaled.
    The problem has been confirmed on both MacOS and PC.
