  1. Exporting to tif: "An unknown error caused the operation to fail."

    Normally rebooting solves problems like this, but not this time. Cannot save my file as a tif.

  2. Exporting to SVG returns different code after Illustrator updates

    I use Illustrator files as source documents for complex system maps that we export to SVGs for applications. With the most recent updates, the exports have significantly changed the output code for the SVG which is impacting the javascript interactions with those svgs. The first and most substantial issue is that in calculating the viewbox attribute parameters, Illustrator is NOW including hidden layers where it once ignored them. I use a background layer which mimics our system's background colors to more closely reflect the contrasts needed and hide that for export. But where once the svg tag exported as
    <svg…

  3. Adobe Illustrator Online Preview Bugs

    Hi, I've been facing some problems with the feature that allows to other people preview the file on the web without Adobe. It's an important feature to my company since they can comment and review my work, yet there seems to have lots of problems in the formating. The first 2 images are from the Adobe Illustrator and the other 2 are from the online preview:

  4. BUG: View Grid (Dots 1px) Freezes Illustrator

    Using a document grid using dots in small intervals (10px or 1 px intervals) makes Illustrator super slow or even stops working.

    Bug appeared in 25.3.1 and is still present in 25.4.1. Tested on multiple Macs (Catalina + Big Sur).

  5. Actions 'broken' 26.2.1

    Mac Mini M1
    Big sur 11.6.5
    Illustrator 26.2.1

    Trying to perform an action in a folder (save .ai to .eps) crashes illustrator at random moments, never ends.
    This action in 26.1 and before releases works perfect, same folder, same files.

  6. ドロップシャドウのデフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなく4色になっている

    発見はMacOS Catalina(10.15.7)ですが、Windows10でも同様でした。
    Illustrator2021(25.2)のドロップシャドウにおいて、デフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなくC93%、M88%、Y89%、K80%になっています。RGBベースのカラー設定がCMYKモードに持ち越されているものと思われますが、印刷において事故の原因となりますので早急に修正願います。

  9. need to fix control handles

    Handles have been broken for about 10 years now, time to fix them.
    Clicking on corner tool handle, making stuff rotate, trying to stretch one direction, then it stretching diagonally.

    Things like that should not be going wrong in software as old as illustrator.

  12. Cannot open AI or EPS files just exported from AI

    I'm trying to export some vector files from AI, which I've done countless times before and had no problems...

    Right now when I save the file as AI and EPS, it shows up in my saved folder as a blank file. When I open the properties from it's saved folder it still shows as AI, however I'm not able to open it with AI or any other applications.

    I'm stumped and don't know what I can do next.

  13. BUG: Undo function now resets after ctrl. c

    Before the recent update, I could press undo to go back to a previous item, copy it (without moving or altering it in any way), and REDO all the actions over and paste that copied item but now when i just press copy, it resets so I can't redo!

  14. Illustrator changing color values every time I reopen program v 26.0.2

    I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm using illustrator from the cloud version 26.0.2 on Mac Monterey v 12.1. Every time I close out a file and reopen it the hex colors are changed. I have never touched the setting on my colors. I've attached an example below. You can see that when I was previously working in the file I listed the hex code, but now when I open it it is different. Please help. This is making my branding impossible and I'm turning in projects incorrectly as a result.

  15. パスファインダーの分割をするとズレが起きる

    Adobe Illustrator 2021、2022、2022(Prerelease)

    2つの上下に重なった絵柄で、下の絵柄の形に沿って上の絵柄を分割をすると、ほんのコンマ数ミリのズレが起きます。
    100%や200%の拡大率では見えませんが、30000%とか大きい拡大率だと確認できます。
    あとズレているため、余分なパスができてしまい、その後の作業に支障がでます。

  16. Issue rendering some gradients

    If you change the the extension to .pdf, the gradient is no longer rendered. Rendering the .ai in other pdf interpreters also do not render the gradient.

  18. Can't export selection properly

    Have some simple artwork with some outlined type. Prior to the update, it all exported properly with "Export Selection..." Now it SHOWS it's going to export in the preview, but no matter what I do the majority of the text is absent. If I segregate the export to even simply one of the letters not exporting, it still exports incorrectly (even though the preview before the export shows the character) and results in an empty file!

    投稿をありがとうございました。上記にもございますように、開発に取り掛かっております。他にも同様の事象が見つかっております。

    以下に、英語ですが開発より記事の投稿がございますので、ご参照ください。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/issue-with-illustrator-about-the-color-image/m-p/12981944#M323943

    <日本語訳>

    ご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ございません。弊社では、この問題を再現することができます。すでに製品チームにバグを記録しており、現在調査中です。

    この問題は、リンクされた画像を含むAiファイルで発生しています。保存時に「リンク先のファイルを含める」を選択し、再度開くと、Aiファイルの画像が反転したり、黄色く見えたりします。

    これを回避するために、以下の手順をお試しください。

    ●ドキュメントに画像を埋め込む

    ●「リンク先のファイルを含む」のチェックを外す

    ●旧バージョンのIllustratorにダウングレードする

    こちらをお試しいただき、うまく機能したかどうか、またお知らせをいただけますと幸いです。

    どうもありがとうございます。

  20. The artboard names and numbers dissapeared in 25.4.1

    I can still see the grey box in the top left corner of the artboards, but the names and numbers are gone. It started when I updated Illustrator to 25.3.1. I thought the issue would be solved in this new update but it is still there
