1. reading XMP data in scripts broken by 25.4 update.

   Illustrator 25.4 update broke scripts that try to read XMP data that worked in previous versions of Illustrator. This is the Mac version (have not tried in Windows).

   It appears to be getting the error on this line:

   ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

   Comparing the frameworks in the package contents for 25.3.1 vs 25.4, the AdobeXMPScript framework appears to be missing in 25.4.

   Below is an example script to read font data that worked in 25.3, but errors loading the library in 25.4

   // load XMP Library

   function loadXMPLibrary() {

   if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {  
   
      try {  
   
          ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');  
   
      } catch (e) {  
   
        alert('Unable to load the AdobeXMPScript library!');  
   
        return false;  
   
      }  
   

   }

   return true;

   }

   // unload XMP Library

   function unloadXMPLibrary() {

   if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {  
   
      try {  
   
          ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript.unload();  
   
          ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = undefined;  
   
      } catch (e) {  
   
        alert('Unable to unload the AdobeXMPScript library!');  
   
      }  
   

   }

   }

   // list used fonts

   function list_fonts () {

   var doc = app.activeDocument;
   
   var fontsInfo = [];  
   
   loadXMPLibrary ();  
   
   fontsInfo.push (getFontsInfo (doc.fullName));  
   
   unloadXMPLibrary ();  
   
   var info = fontsInfo.join ('\n\n');

   xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSEUPDATESAFELY);

      for (i = 1; i <= fontNumber; i++) {  
   
          path = XMPUtils.composeArrayItemPath(ns, 'xmpTPg:Fonts', i);  
   
          fontfamily = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFamily');  
   
          fontface = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFace');
   
          arr.push([fontfamily+' '+fontface]);

2. (Applescript) do javascript command no longer works in Illustrator 2021(25.1)

   Bug report:
   When using AppleScript's do javascript in Illustrator 2021(25.1), nothing happens regardless of whether it is a file or text. The result will return a missing value. In 25.0.1, it works fine.

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/applescript-do-javascript-command-no-longer-works-in-25-1/m-p/11737799?page=1&profile.language=en

   In the case of jsx files, it can be avoided by writing the following code. If the file extension is jsxbin, it cannot be executed. And arguments cannot be passed.

   -- solution 1
   tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
   open ("Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:sample.jsx" as alias)
   end tell

   -- solution 2
   tell application "Finder"
   open ("Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:sample.jsx" as alias) using ("Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Illustrator 2021:Adobe Illustrator. app:" as alias)
   end tell

   -- solution 3
   do shell script "open -a '/Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2021/Adobe Illustrator.app/' '/Users/username/Desktop/sample.jsx'"

   Environment:
   Illustrator 2021(25.1), macOS Mojave(10.14.6)

   Expected behavior:
   The target JavaScript will be executed.

   Japanese >
   (AppleScript) Illustrator 2021(25.1)でdo javascriptが動かない

   バグ内容：
   Illustrator 2021(25.1)でAppleScriptのdo javascriptを使用すると，渡すのがファイルでもテキストでも何も起きない。結果にはmissing valueが返る。25.0.1では正常に実行できる。

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/applescript-do-javascript-command-no-longer-works-in-25-1/m-p/11737799?page=1&profile.language=en

   jsxファイルの場合，次のようなコードを書くことで回避できる。拡張子がjsxbinだと実行できない。argumentsは渡せない。

   -- solution 1
   tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
   open ("Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:sample.jsx" as alias)
   end tell

   -- solution 2
   tell application "Finder"

   -- solution 3

   動作環境：

3. Illustrator RulerUnits returns Unknown for 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches'

   Illustrator recently added 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches' to the available ruler units; however, when a user selects one of these units, the scripting side returns 'RulerUnits.Unknown' for 'activeDocument.RulerUnits'.

   For scripting, the corresponding 'RulerUnits.*' value should be added so that developers can respond to the selected units.

4. Unable to control third party applications with AppleScript

   This is essentially the same issue as https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-16-3-2-not-authorised-to-send-apple-events-to-other-apps/td-p/12312871 except for Illustrator.

   Illustrator is missing the NSAppleEventsUsageDescription key from its info.plist file. This prevents the system from asking permission from the user to send apple events from Illustrator.

   Mac OS 11.5.2
   Illustrator 25.4..1

   To recreate:

   in terminal
   tccutil reset AppleEvents com.adobe.illustrator

   save the following AppleScript and place in the scripts menu for illustrator.

   tell application "Finder"
   display dialog "test"
   end tell

   Expected result:
   dialog in finder

   Actual result:
   AppleScript error: Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder. (-1743)

5. In CC2020 and later, referencing the created property of the File class returns "null”.

   Environment
   macOS 10.15.6
   Illustrator CC ver.25.1

   Step and reproduce
   1.Select menu ”File->Script->Other Script" and choose below one.

   //JavaScript File detail
   var f=File.openDialog("");
   alert(f.created);

   Expected result
   Illustrator shows "null". It must be return files created date.

   Actual result
   ”null” is returned.

   In CC2019 this property was successfully retrieved. It seems that a problem occurred after CC2020. Also, even if we put it in the 2021 family, other applications can get "created" property normally.
   "modified" property behaves similarly strangely in relation to this issue.

   This behavier shows only macOS. Windows can return as normal.

   //Japanese
   オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustratorのバージョン
   macOS 10.15.6
   Illustrator CC ver.25.1

   問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
   File->Script->Other Script"とメニューより以下に示す内容のJavaScript（ExtendScript）を選択する。

   //JavaScript File detail
   var f=File.openDialog("");
   alert(f.created);

   本来ファイル作成日がアラートされるべきだが"null"が表示される。

   想定していた結果
   ファイル製作日が表示。

   実際の結果
   ”null” が表示

   CC2019ではこのプロパティは正常に取得可能でした。2020以降で不具合が発生したものと思われます。また、2021ファミリーに置いても他のアプリケーションではこのcreatedプロパティを正常に取得可能です。この問題に関連してmodifiedプロパティも同様のおかしな挙動となっています。
   この不具合はmacOSのみで生じます。Windowsでは上記のスクリプトは正常に動作します。

6. ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping broken in 2020

   ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping (set to false)

   In 2019 (23.1), PNGs exported by javascript are trimmed to the visible bounds of the object as expected when false. When true, they're the size of the artboard.

   In 2020 (24.3), the same script always produces PNGs the size of the artboard whatever artBoardClipping is set to.

   Illustrator 24.3 vs Illustrator 23.1
   Windows 10
   Script run via Illustrator (File/Scripts) as well as testing in ETSK 4.0.0.1

   It's a dealbreaker for version 24. We can't upgrade as a team unless this is fixed.

7. VBScript Internal Script Execution Error in version 25.1

   Running VBScripts from File > Other Scripts is not currently functional in the latest update- however the very same scripts work fine if the scripts are opened manually (and worked as expected from 'Other Scripts' in the previous version).

   Please fix!

8. Running an Action from script

   Hello,
   In Illustrator CC latest update, my following script does not work:
   1- Select a couple paths (in script) (all of them close paths in different groups)
   2- execute my action which offset paths with certain amount

   The problem is in this new version after the action dis-select all of them except one, but before this version it worked and keep all of my selection paths still as selected ( by path I mean the new offset paths, but for all of them)

   It really made trouble for my script in the company, because some computer still does not have the latest CC.

   Thank you
   Maryam

9. Fix Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 Type Library Reference - VB scripts return error

   Illustrator CC 2019 Type Library is broken when attempting to Reference from Visual Studio.

   VB.Net or C# projects attempt to add the reference from: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2019\Plug-ins\Extensions\Scripting Support.aip, and give the attached error.

   My idea, is for Adobe to fix it!

   Older versions work fine.

10. Illustrator CC 2018 - CEP 8 HTML Extension Resize Issue

    We are experiencing resizing issue in the latest CEP version. Our extension allows user to resize extension's window, however whenever any navigation occur, window size resets. Problem exists in Illustrator CC 2018 (22.0.1), everything is working fine in previous version (CC 2017).
    We already tried different geometry settings and extension UI types, but problem persists and seems to be related to engine itself.

    We successfully reproduced this issue with official git hub sample extension. Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open sample extension with debug mode enabled
    2. Resize window
    3. Change window location in console to any other page
    4. After navigation, extension window size will reset

    For now, the only working workaround we've got is to save window size and resize it after each request. However, this solution isn't very elegant as window still moves it's position to default one.

11. Actions based on Scripts not saving after restart?

    From: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2191151

    I located another thread from December where the consensus seems to be that this is a long standing and known bug with Illustrator.
    Permanently saving scripts in Action Set doesn't work / Scripts werden nicht dauerhaft in den Aktionseinstellungen gespeichert.

    I have spent a good deal of time working with people here on the Adobe forums to develop a script to automate a very large function of my job, and now that it is completed it should be ready to pass on to members of my team so they can utilize it as well. The problem is that even though the scripts are loaded into the proper scripts folder and the Action works for running a batch off that script flawlessly, it disappears every time Illustrator restarts.

    Is this really a permanent bug with Illustrator? Is Adobe really just ignoring this problem?

    For those unaware, here is a screenshot to help demonstrate:
    thumbnail_Screen Shot 2016-08-04 at 12.04.15 PM.png

    I have created my own folder for custom actions. In that folder I have created an action titled "CAD Batching Script [Network]". I then followed standard procedure, recorded the action, told it to "Insert a Menu Item" and then selected the appropriate script from the Scripts menu under File. Hit stop on the recording, done.

    I'm then able to run the action off of the Batch function and everything works flawlessly.

    Then, the next time I re-open Illustrator after closing the program, the recorded parts of the action (highlighted in the red box in the screenshot) have totally disappeared. I tested this both in my custom folder and by placing the action in the Default Actions folder. Nothing seems to keep it from disappearing.

    Is there something I'm missing, or am I just forever out of luck and going to have to recreate the Action every time I open Illustrator and need to work off of that script for batch processing?

    Thanks in advance,
    Brooks

12. update link to illustrator 2017 sdk on https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html

    The move from https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
    to https://console.adobe.io/downloads/ai left behind a broken link to the 2017 sdk.
    Easiest thing to do would be to update the 2017 sdk link on the old devnet page.

    We are moving away from devnet to the Adobe io site. Moving forward that will the place to get all of Adobe SDK.
    We also have an early access program for our plugin partners. You may join our prerelease site you will get SDK builds way before we release it on public facing pages.
