Asset export does not include appearance outside bounding box area of text objects (preview bounds are ignored)
In Illustrator 2025 (using version 29.3.1), when exporting assets, appearance elements outside the bounding box area are cut off.
In 2024 (28.7.5) and 2023 (27.9.6), all elements are exported without cutting.Reproduction Procedure
1. create a text object
2. add a bold stroke color to the text
3. add as an asset export item
4. export the assetExpected result
Designs with stroke color should be exported as in previous versions without problems.Appendix.
If a fill is added instead of a line and “path offset” is applied instead, this problem can be avoided because the bounding box is extended.…

DXF export produces silently incorrect geometry for fabrication workflows
I initially submitted this as a feature request.
After further discussion and testing, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is better classified as a bug: the export completes successfully, but silently produces geometrically incorrect data for precision workflows.Illustrator offers DXF export as a supported output format. However, when exporting geometry that is visually exact (e.g. circles, constant-radius constructions, rounded slots), the resulting DXF contains only Bézier-approximated splines or segmented polylines, without warning.
This results in silent degradation of geometric accuracy:
• Visually exact geometry in Illustrator
• Numerically incorrect geometry in DXF
• Errors only become apparent downstream…2 votes -
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.jpgÖffne ich die Datei im Illustrator ist…

Scripts cannot read Ignore Color setting from presets
With the appearance of the Ignore Color checkbox, scripts have another big problem besides ignoreWhite.
If a user creates a custom preset with Ignore Color enabled and selects a color, and then tries to automate the use of this preset from a script, the scripts cannot load the data about the Ignore Color checkbox from the preset.
In the mentioned beta version 30.4.0.80, this issue still persists (so it should also be in the GA 30.3)
Example:
(function (){
var image = app.selection[0].trace();
var preset = app.tracingPresetsList[19]; // User index of custom preset
image.tracing.tracingOptions.loadFromPreset(preset);
app.redraw();
image.tracing.expandTracing().selected = true;
})();2 votes -
Files not saved properly with incorrect display
Since we started working with Adobe Illustrator 30, we have encountered various files, both saved as ai and pdf, that display a different and incorrect image in the preview. As a result, our printing software also opens and processes these incorrectly, resulting in incorrect printing.
When we reopen and resave the file, it is fine.
For the time being, we have gone back to Adobe Illustrator 29, because we can no longer rely on our print file in this way.2 votes -
Les raccourcis clavier typographiques ne fonctionnent plus dans la 29.7
Dans le version illustrator 29.7 du 30 juillet 2025, toutes les fonctions de manipulation des typographies par les raccourcis clavier ne fonctionnent plus. Agrandir et diminuer, soit la taille, soit les interlettrages, les interlignages, etc… Exemple : option flèche du bas, du haut, droite gauche - commande majuscule point.
Merci de votre retour.

Navigation button (up, down, left right) not working
I am using the latest Adobe Illustrator on windows and it's always the navigation button (up, down, left, right) cannot work. Tried to use Shift key, but still not working. Been like this for a half year. Also, you should be able to permit us using mouse to zoom in/out. Otherwise, it's a nightmare for fast-paced workers.

Placed .ai artboards drop graphic elements randomly. This is disgusting for printers
The screenshot shows the placed artboards from - top row: .ai artboards, bottom row: pdf artboards. The circled portions show logos were dropped from the artwork arbitrarily.
When the .ai file is opened normally, it displays correctly - but not when placed.
This is a separate issue from placed artwork not displaying transparencies accurately.
This is supposed to be a professional level program and printing bugs are getting to be too much and costing my company too much in unnecessary reprints. PLEASE FIX.

[Bug] Perceptual Gradients change from CMYK to a RGB conversion of CMYK?
When I create a white to black gradient in CMYK mode as classic and it looks fine when separations previewed. When I change to peceptual it adds color in the areas from about 1% to 99% and does not stay black only. I tried it with 100% cyan to white and it added magenta and yellow in the same areas.

New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines
This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)
Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

Auto activate fonts option turns back on by it self
Auto font activate keeps turning back on after I turn it off. I do not want it on because I use my own font service and sometimes I already have the fonts. When it auto adds the font it makes it so the font doesn't work at all then I have to go in cc app and scroll forever (because there is no search) to remove the font.
Apparently the only fix is to completely turn of adobe fonts from the CC app which will remove all adobe fonts which is not what I want to do!! I still use…

Unicode - or wrong code - in file names
File names with strange characters produce strange and inconsistent info in the DocumentAfterSave and DocumentAfterActivate events. I keep adding regexes to my "fix name" routine....
These messages belong to the same file:
<documentAfterActivate><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%B9%20Basis-edit.ai</url><name>Designelemente basierend auf geometrischer und konstruierter Grafik ¹ Basis-edit.ai</name></documentAfterActivate>
<documentAfterSave><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%C2ą%20Basis-edit.ai</url></documentAfterSave>

White looks gray in Overprint Preview
The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.
Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

Direct Selection tool selects anchors below objects
Direct Selection tool wrongly selects points hidden underneath filled objects in front of them, when the cursor clicks into a highlighted point.
It seems that only Windows it behaves as expected when 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display is enabled. Macs still select stuff underneath.
Originally discussed here at forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/i-m-having-this-issue-with-every-file-now-in-illustrator-object-selecting/m-p/15254043
Take a look at the GIF attached for a quick demonstration.
Bundled together with this report, it renders selection in Ai pretty broken :(
