  1. Artboard spacing value looses precision

    I use classic New Document dialog (it’s fast and reliable, unlike the modern one).
    Within it, I can set a value that later would be used to space new artboards when adding ones, or to rearrange them.
    If I only have one artboard (and I usually create one only, even when a project later gets more), I can’t set this value immediately, and the value gets transferred from the previous one I set there...

    ...not really. Here, I have to make it 2 artboards to have the field active (why? — I made another request to have it active — …

  2. Adobe Fonts が Illustrator で認識されず、作業が継続不能になる重大不具合

    Adobe Fonts に存在し、Creative Cloud でアクティベート済みのフォントが、
    Illustrator 内で表示されず使用できません。

    具体的には「VDLロゴJr(通常・ブラック)」が、
    ・Adobe Fonts ではアクティブ
    ・Figma では使用可能
    にもかかわらず、Illustrator のフォント一覧に一切表示されません。

    以下の対処をすべて実施しましたが改善しませんでした:
    - Adobe Fonts の再アクティベート
    - Illustrator のフォントキャッシュ削除(AdobeFnt*.lst)
    - Windows の FontCache.dat 削除
    - Illustrator の環境設定リセット
    - ローカルフォントの衝突確認
    - Figma Font Helper の停止

    それでも Illustrator だけがフォントを認識しません。

    仕事で使用しており、毎月料金を支払っているにも関わらず、
    基本的な「フォントが使える」という機能が保証されていない状態です。

    至急、原因の特定と修正をお願いします。

  3. Document Raster Effects settings not being honored on all affected objects

    Illustrator 30.1 on MacOS 14.6.1
    Changing the Document Raster Effects settings used to affect all objects with pixel effects, at current it appears not to anymore and one has to manually force an update of the Drop Shadow effect for example.

  4. Canvas not visible when opening or creating files in Adobe Illustrator

    I’m experiencing an issue where the canvas (artboard/work area) does not appear when I open an existing file or create a new document in Adobe Illustrator.

    The application itself opens normally, and the UI loads (menus, toolbars, panels), but the main canvas area where the artwork should be displayed is completely missing or blank.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    - Open Adobe Illustrator
    - Create a new file OR open an existing file
    - Illustrator loads the interface normally
    - The canvas/artboard does not appear

    Expected Result:
    The canvas/artboard should be visible and ready for editing.

    Actual Result:
    The canvas area is…

  5. Global Edit no longer works for additional groups inside other groups

    AI 30.5 Win 11

    If I have multiple instances of a group and want to change all at once, I can use Global Edit and then isolate the group to make my changes. But now once inside isolate mode, I can no longer use additional global edits to change multiple groups inside of the main group, as once inside global edit the only option in the select menu is to exit global edit.

    So for instance I have 5 of the same group A, and these are then grouped together to make Group B. I then have 5 instances of…

  6. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

    When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

  7. Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow

    Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
    The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.

    As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print…

  8. Stacked dimensions lagging Illustrator

    The dimension around the red outline rectangle is the LAG source... try to move anything, it takes forever. But as soon as you delete the dimensions, the lag is gone. I'm not sure what is going on here.

  9. Inaccurate stroke scaling on new objects

    When I create a new shape, the stroke scaling is clearly not accurate. I have it set to 1 pixel, however, it appears much, much larger than a stroke set to 1 px.

  10. PDF export without color conversion converts RGB images to CMYK

    This is a bug that occurs in Illustrator 2025 (29.2.1) and later.

    When an RGB image is placed as a linked file in a CMYK document, it gets converted to CMYK upon PDF export, even if "No Color Conversion" is selected. In Illustrator 2025 (29.2.0) and earlier, the image remained in RGB.

    This bug affects only PNG and JPG files. Other formats, such as PSD, remain in RGB.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Create a new CMYK document.
    2. Place an RGB image (PNG or JPG) as a linked file (do not embed).
    3. Export the document as a PDF with "No Color Conversion"…

  11. ファイルのアクセス権が起動時に必ず求められる

    Mac版についてになります。
    アプリの起動を行うと、まず初めに

    「Adobe Illustrator 2026から、他のアプリからのデータへのアクセス権を求められています。」
    という確認ポップアップが、表示されるようになりました。

    Macの設定にある、「セキュリティ、プライバシー」のファイルアクセスなどに関する権限をみたところ、追加がされていませんでした。
    (なお、PremiereやPhotoshopは追加されていました)
    残念ながら、Mac上では対象アプリを追加することができないようになっており、これらの対応策が見つからない状態になりました。

    同様の現象などで回避策をお持ちでしたらご教示ください。

    Illustrator 30.2.1の最新版

  12. Resizing using bounding box with Snap to Point enabled acts as if constrained to an arbitrary grid

    With Snap to Point enabled, resizing with the corner of the bounding box snaps to what seems like an arbitrary grid. Smart guides disabled. Snap to grid disabled. Snap to pixel disabled.

  14. Can’t access tools using Essential Classic workspace

    My Essential Classic tools do not come up and it doesn't let me reset them either, so I can’t use Illustrator at all. I tried to uninstall and reinstall —didn't work either

  15. Copy-pasting mesh between files results in rasterized image

    When copying and pasting a mesh from one file to another, it turns into a raster image. However, simply dragging and dropping the mesh object works fine

  16. Font explorer dropdown from the Character section in Properties panel is obscured by other panels with 2 columns of docked panels

    Running 30.2.1

    When the new Character panel is open and font has been selected, the panel is now so big that it becomes obscured if I open a property on the second panel, so I cannot make further font adjustments without closing the second panel.

    It seems the properties panel process is selective for some properties and not for others, e.g., Transform opens in both panels, whereas Appearance does not. The UX seems inconsistent. Something feels off.

  17. Bug de l'outil "Cote"

    Bonjour, j'aimerais vous soumettre un bug que je rencontre depuis quelque temps. Quand j'ouvre les "options de l'outil cote" et que je veux changer des parametres ( le plus souvent, cela se produit quand je veux changer la mise à l'échelle ), cela fait crashé illustrator, 9 fois sur 10, obligé de redemarrer illustrator, (de temps en temps, cela se debloque au bout de 10min).

    Merci d'avance.

  19. Export von Element als .ai

    Wenn ich .ai als Format im Bedientfeld Export von Element auswähle, wird eine Datei ohne PDF-Kompatibilität erzeugt. Diese lässt sich in InDesign nicht darstellen. Man sieht nur einen Fehlertext. Wenn man die Datei öffnet und unter neuem Namen speichert, sieht man, dass "PDF-kompatible Datei erstellen" nicht angekreuzt ist. Dieses Problem tritt nur bei ai auf, egal welche Zeichnung ich auswähle. Andere Formate wie svg, pdf oder eps werden problemlos exportiert. Der Fehler tritt sowohl in der Windows als auch in der MacOS-Version auf. (deutsch, v 30.3 trat aber schon bei früheren Version auf)

  20. We request that function key conversion be re-enabled for Japanese input.

    Due to the latest update release, the conversion shortcuts using function keys during Japanese input have become unavailable. Please restore them so they can be used again.

    Conversion shortcut details:
    F6 → Hiragana
    F7 → Katakana
    F8 → Half-width Roman characters
    F9 → Full-width Roman characters

    In Japan, conversion shortcuts using function keys are commonly used.
    Previously, I could use those keys for Japanese input conversion without having to delete the corresponding Illustrator shortcut settings. However, in the latest version, even deleting the settings doesn't work, which is inconvenient.
