Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.
Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.
1 voteAnders, please share a test file and the exact setting and the method you use to export an image.

Lighting preview is missing in 3D and Materials panel in Ai 2025, Undo does not work for 3D rotation, performance is slow
Why is the preview for lighting missing? And why is the render so slow? Also why is there no undo option to take you back to the previous rotation position??!!!! This is Illustrator 2025! Horrible.

Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option
Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.
However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.
So now this dialog is broken the other way.
What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we…
6 votesDoesn’t happen in latest build of Ai, the Range field is now inactive unless the option is picked

Spot colors converting to Magenta when saving .PDF files
We have a few team members encountering issues when saving PDF files out of Illustrator (running Windows 10 and 11).
If the file contains spot colors (built from scratch or pulled from library), there's a chance it will convert to solid magenta. The biggest challenge is that the glitch isn't always noticeable on the designer's screen, so sometimes it will get sent to the client without knowing. It's also not always repeatable, so it's difficult to troubleshoot.1 vote -

不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定時、不透明マスクがオブジェクトの不透明度の影響を受ける
再現手順
1. 任意の色を付けた矩形の上に任意の形状のオブジェクトを起き白黒グラデーションを指定し、双方を選んで透明パネルにてマスクボタンをクリック。
2. 背面に大きめの矩形を配置し。１の不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトと一緒に選択し、グループの抜きを指定する。
3. 不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトをダイレクト選択ツールで選択肢。不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義チェックボックスをチェックすると不透明マスクでグループの抜きが適用された状態になる。
4. 不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトの不透明度を調節すると不透明マスクの不透明度も変化し抜きの状態が変化する。しかし、透明パネルでマスクオブジェクトを確認すると不透明度は変化していない。期待する結果
不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定した場合、被マスクオブジェクトの不透明度に関わらずマスクオブジェクトに設定された状態を保持して抜きを設定する。実際の結果
不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定したオブジェクトの不透明度の値に不透明マスクの不透明度が影響を受け不透明マスクの状態が変化する。この状態はグループの抜きを設定しない場合と等価である。EN
Step and Reproduce
1. place an object of any shape on top of a rectangle of any color, specify a black and white gradient, select both objects, and click the mask button in the transparency panel.
2. Place a larger rectangle on the back, select it together with the object to which the opacity mask is applied (1), and apply Knockout Group.
3. Select the object to which the opacity mask is applied with the Direct Selection tool. Check the "Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape"…2 votes -

1 voteJoan, can you please share both the file and the demonstration video? Please make sure the it’s clearly seen which artboard is active when you copy and when you paste.

Extrude on the 3D Materials panel is inaccurate.
The extrude function does not extrude by the amount I type in.
It used to work on my desktop but never on my laptop and now it works on neither. It extrudes but by less than a third of whatever I type in. Don't know why this happens or why its started doing it on my desktop too.I find it eliminates the usefulness of the whole 3D Materials panel.

Pasting text within text box changes formatting to neighboring type
I am trying to cut and paste type within an area type box. I have the type formatted with mixed attributes. But when I paste the type in its new location all formatting is lost and it assumes the format of the type next to where I paste it.
2 votesThis can happen if the 'Paste text without formatting' option is toggled in Preferences > Clipboard Handling. This would cause Ai to paste text with no formatting, adapting it from the target text.

Guides duplicate and fly away when grabbed
When I grab a guide (square made by me, not ruler) by the edge and drag it, it duplicates and the double is flying away, kind of like a floater in your eye

Make pressing Escape close Color modal dropdowns for Fill and Stroke in all panels
If we open Character panel, unfold any dropdown in it and press Escape — this dropdown closes back.
If we click underlined Stroke or Opacity in Properties, pressing Escape does the same.
But if we click Fill or Stroke button in any panel (Control, Properties, Appearance), to get the Swatches/Mixer/Gradient/Generate dropdown... Escape does nothing.
It should close this dropdown, as it does for everything else in Ai.3 votes -

Recovery opens Print.ai document profile instead of restoring a document after crash
This has happened twice in the past few days, the first time Illustrator unexpectedly crashed and just now it froze and I had to force quit the program. Both times, when I reopen Illustrator it tells me it's recovered my file(s), shows the correct document name (like Untitled-3, etc) and I press OK. It then pulls up a document called Print.ai which is just a blank artboard, maybe something I made in the past and didn't use? I go to the folder on my computer where the recovered files are supposed to go, it will say the folder has been…
3 votesElizabeth, the team suspects that can be triggered by moving the original file to another folder while it’s still opened.
Then, if Ai crashes, if can’t properly locate it and it leads to this exact problem.
Does it sound like something that could have been the case?

Why the the FONT i used are NOT LONGER AVALIABLE in Adobe premiere pro?
Hi Adobe community, a few weeks ago I updated a new Adobe Premiere version and since then the font I was using has changed and I can no longer find it among those available. The fonts I need are: Algerian, BlackadderlITC-Regual, Garamond-Italic, Onyx. I try to find these fonts as if they were extensions from the official Adobe page but I couldn't find the Algerian font in this way either... Can anyone help me or give me advice? Thanks a lot!

Scaling proportionally not working with Use Preview Bounds enabled
Very weird issue happening at the moment. I was working on a file and realized some things which were supposed to be proportionate were not. I double checked and actually Illustrator was not scaling things proportionally!
Video to show what happens.So far I've uninstalled Illustrator and re-installed it. Seems like keeping Preview Bounds off is the only thing that works. If you got any ideas please let me know :)
Thank you <3
