  1. Objects on Path tool caushes instant crash

    Using a mac mini and v. 30.1 of Illustrator. every single time I use the Objects on Path tool illustrator crashes instantly. It wasn't doing this a couple of days ago. I thought it was because of a new script I downloaded but even after removing it I still have the same issue.

  3. 縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない

    macOS 14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.29.1

    Step to reproduce
    1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
    2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
    3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
    4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。

    期待する動作
    矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。

    実際の結果
    スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。

    回避策
    Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。

    縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
    また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。

    以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/縦書き文章でスレッドテキストオプションが正常におこなわれない/td-p/15077023?profile.language=ja

  4. Dataset names with decimal values are truncated during Batch Export

    When exporting multiple Data Sets via Actions (PDF/EPS/SVG/JPG/PNG format), if the Data Set name contains a decimal value (for example: “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG”), the exported file name does not retain the full value.
    Instead, the file name is truncated and exported as “Cumin Seeds 1.pdf” rather than “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG.pdf”.

    It appears that Illustrator interprets the period (.) in the dataset name as part of a file extension separator, which results in the decimal value being removed during export.

    This creates workflow issues, especially in packaging and SKU-based production environments where decimal weights such as 1.6 KG, 2.5…

  5. Vorschaubilder verschwinden im Bridge

    Hallo, ich habe folgendes Problem mit Illustrator (30.2.1) und Bridge (16.02.23) auf einem Windows Rechner mit 64GB Ram, Windows 11 Pro und eine RTX 3060 Ti.

    Wenn ich momentan im Illustrator eine Datei speichere zweig mir Bridge diese Datei nicht mehr korrekt an.

    Beispiel:
    - Normal war die Anzeige in Bridge wie Bild01.jpg
    - die geöffnete Datei im Illustrator wo alles stimmt ist wie Bild02.jpg, alle Verknüpfungen sind intakt
    - ändere ich in der Datei nur das Darum und speichere, ist nun die Anzeige im Bridge wie im Bild03.jpg daher zusammen wie Bild04.jpg

    Öffne ich die Datei im Illustrator ist…

  6. Shape changes color every time I reopen the file after saving

    As the title says, every time I start working on the saved file, a particular 1 type of shape across all artboards changes color to yellow or black from white when I reopen the saved file. Still can't understand why yellow or black, I never put yellow on that shape.

  9. Absolute mode in Transform Each gives inaccurate dimensions

    For the new "Absolute" option in the Transform Each window, I expected it to be able to scale objects with strokes to exact dimensions when the "Scale Strokes & Effects" checkbox is unchecked.

    With the checkbox checked, everything works as expected. However, users also need to scale an object while keeping the stroke unchanged, yet still achieving an exact target width or height (a common need for icon designers, for example).

    As you can see at the start of the video, the original size is 74.1971 pt in Transform Each. We then instruct it to become 50 pt, and the…

  10. More than 1 Placed Item that has been named loses name in 29.6.1

    Place 2 linked items. Rename each item in the layer panel to Item 1 and item 2. Save File as Template or Document. Reopen. Only the first name appears. The second appears as <Linked File>. Any others also are renamed to <Linked File>. This is crucial to automation of template files to replace linked files and needs to be fixed! Have no issues with 29.5

  11. File names are broken on macOS scripts

    Bug reproduction:

    #target illustrator
    
    var file = File.openDialog("Select any file", "All files:*.*");
    var message = 'Results\nfile.name: "' + file.name + '"\nfile.displayName: "' + file.displayName + '"\nfile.localizedName: "' + file.localizedName + '"';
    alert(message);
    

    Save this as a script, run it in Illustrator on macOS and select any file.

    Expected outcome: An alert is displayed with all of the name attributes are populated
    Actual outcome: displayName and localizedName give empty string and undefined.

    Tested on macOS 15.7.1, Illustrator v29.8.2. Same script works on Windows 11.

  13. Can't select linked png/bmp files when they have transparent backgrounds.

    Placing several linked BMP or PNG files with transparent backgrounds causes them to become randomly unselectable by clicking on them. You have to go to outline mode, find and select the edge of the image, or select with marquee tool and then carefully unselect the extra objects. Either way, it cannot be moved except to click on the edge of the images frame. This has been an issue for years. I think I may have even posted about it before, but can't find that now. IMO this is an issue that should be escalated as it such a basic operation…

  15. Images Missing After Reopening Adobe Illustrator File

    Hello Adobe Illustrator Community,

    I would like to report an issue we have been experiencing with Adobe Illustrator that has caused serious problems in our production workflow.

    Issue Description:
    Images that were properly embedded in Adobe Illustrator files go missing after the files are closed and reopened. The images are not corrupt, and their resolution is below 500 PPI. However, upon reopening the AI file, some embedded images disappear completely.

    This issue does not occur in all Illustrator files; it happens randomly across different files, making it difficult to predict or prevent.

    Impact:
    This problem has caused losses for our…

  18. Can’t edit colors in a selection

    When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

  19. Rasterizing an object inside of a clipping group flattens the clipping group itself

    If we need to rasterize one selected object inside of the clipping group, we have to isolate the object to avoid flattening the clipping group. Isolating only the clipping group won’t help, we have to 'drill into' the object specifically!

    This doesn’t happen for simple groups — with these we don’t have to isolate anything at all, just selecting a child is enough.

    Thanks to Junior Rocha for raising this up.

  20. SVG import bug: cannot import images via SVGs exported from Figma

    Here's an example SVG with four images (all referencing the same image -- this is a simple checkerboard raster (I tried using a more visual example, but the base64-encoded strings for photos seem to be too big for UserVoice)).
