All pdf files in finder suddenly are called Illustrator files All the pdf files on my Macbook (macOS Mojave 10.14.2) are suddenly called "illustrator files" in my finder and when double clicking on them, they are opened by Illustrator (CC 2019, updated 12.12.2019). Before they have been simple pdf files which I created by Microsoft Word and which always were called "pdf file" in finder.

Misleading Backup I just lost an hour's work due to a power failure. I usually save more often, but didn't today. When the power came back and Illustrator launched, I was not prompted to recover a file. I checked the preferences and it said it was saving recovery data every two minutes.
The recovery location was empty.
I went on chat with support and they said, "Illustrator will, on very rare occasions, recover a file after a crash. it's exceptionally rare though. It has something to do with how and why the crash occured and only in special instances is recover possible.…
1 voteCan you please share the case id so that I can understand the conversation you had with the support staff.
We do turn off data recovery for complex documents as it affects performance. However there is a way to turn that optimisation off in preference File handling and Clipboard > Turn off Data Recovery for complex documents -

PDF save in Ai CC 2017 and earlier i could save a file to "press quality" and uncheck the "preserve illustrator editing capabilities" to make a smaller PDF... a 70 MB Ai file could be saved to a "press quality" file at about 16 MB. now when i uncheck said box the PDF is 700KB and doesn't open as a PDF but has this text: "This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was saved without PDF Content". and if i leave it checked the resulting PDF is the same size as the Ai file. What happened?
