  1. Braille fonts are displaying incorrectly after latest update (29.1)

    After doing the latest update, one particular font I use is displaying at a different spacing to what it was in the previous versions of illustrator and is incorrect.

    Its a slight difference but I deal with braille on medicine so this is required to be very accurate. I have attached an example but am unable to upload the font, which is a unique braille font for our company.

    I have gone back to the previous version of Illustrator for now to resolve this.

  2. 下揃えに設定したエリア内テキストを途中で改行すると上にスペースが十分あるにも関わらずオーバーフローする

    macOS13.6.7／Windows10・11
    Illustrator 28.5

    再現手順
    1.エリア内テキストを作成し下揃えに設定した上でテキストを入力する。
    2.任意の部分で改行を入力する。
    3.テキストは上に送られずにオーバーフローする。

    期待する結果
    上に十分な余白がある場合はテキストを上に送りオーバーフローさせない。

    実際の結果
    エリア内テキストに余白がある場合でもテキストの位置がそのまま保持されてオーバーフローを生じる。

    現状の対処方法
    当該エリア内テキストに対してストーリーの再計算が生じる処理（移動やカーニング・トラッキング調整等）を行うと正常な体裁に戻る。

    下揃えにした場合、途中の改行でもストーリー全体の再計算が必要になるのですが、上揃えと同様に改行以降の部分的な再計算だけが行われているように思います。
    また、これに気付かずにドキュメントを保存すると、次にドキュメントを開いて当該エリア内テキストを編集しようとした時に体裁が変化するために
    「このテキストは、別バージョンのIllustratorで作成されました。……」
    のアラートが表示されます。

  3. 保存後、再度開くと文字スタイルがリセットかつ適用できない箇所が一部発生

    文字スタイルの不具合が２点。
    いずれも、クラウドドキュメント（.aic）で保存したファイルを、次の日開いたら発生。

    1. 適用していた文字スタイル（標準文字スタイル）が解除され、再度どの文字スタイルを選択しても適用されない

    2. 適用していた文字スタイル（標準文字スタイル）の部分が文字化けし、設定していないフォントに書き換えられる

    正直、保存→ファイルを開くだけで、こんな不具合が出るのは非常に困ります。尚且つ、1.の再度文字スタイルが選べない = 復旧できないは致命的です。
    XDに近い、テキストスタイルはとても便利な機能なので、早急に安定活用できるよう改善お願いいたします。

    [添付]
    1. 選択箇所のように、サイズ10級にしていた箇所が、フォント種、サイズなどめちゃめちゃになり、スタイルの再設定もできない

    1. 1.と同様の「標準文字スタイル」箇所が勝手に他のフォントに設定され、尚且つ文字化けを起こしている

  4. Illustrator 28.4 does not preserve SVG object hierarchy

    Starting with Illustrator 28.4, the object hierarchy is not preserved when saving and re-opening an SVG file. Many groups are created for no apparent reason.

    See this link for examples: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-28-4-svg-export-does-not-preserve-hierarchy/td-p/14871718#M3695

    This makes Illustrator completely impractical for editing SVG files. I will have to stay at 28.3 until this error is fixed.

  7. Rounding to integer or transform panel is broken after update to 29.0.1 from 28.X

    Rounding to integer or transform panel is broken (when using arrow keys to correct size of path with locked aspect ratio) after update to 29.0.1 from 28.X.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1.  Create a new path or use an existing one.
2.  Open the Control/Transform panel.
3.  With the Constrain Proportions option enabled, use the arrow keys to adjust the Width (W) or Height (H) value.

    Expected Result: Proportions remain consistent as values are adjusted.

    Actual Result: Proportions either change unexpectedly or the values jump to different numbers.

  8. Illustrator Fails to Save as PDF or .AI After macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Update — Skips Artboards, Crashes, and GPU View Greyed Out

    After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.4.1, Adobe Illustrator 29.5 (2025) is experiencing critical issues. When attempting to save as a PDF, it skips artboards, takes an unusually long time to load, and often crashes or shows an “unable to save” error. Saving a copy in .ai format also fails, regardless of location or file setup. Additionally, the “View Using GPU” option is inexplicably greyed out on some files, despite running on compatible hardware. These bugs are severely disrupting workflow and need urgent resolution.

  11. SECURITY: CEPHtmlEngine keeps macOS awake

    CEPHtmlEngine erroneously keeps macOS awake by setting PreventUserIdleSystemSleep

    See details below, CEPHtmlEngine is unnecessarily keeping macOS awake using the power management API and asserting PreventUserIdleSystemSleep, on this device it has been asserting and renewing its assertion for 170 hours.

    This presents a massive physical security risk to enterprise customers as it defeats IT controlled sleep/screensaver/walkaway preferences to lock the computer.

  12. Generative Pop-ups causing file open click issues in MacOS Ventura

    The popups that push the generative AI features (which should be permantally dismissable, but that's another issue) cause a bug in the file open... menu. If the popup remains open, and you click File > Open... the file dialog opens, but you cannot click on any files. Closing Illustrator and re-opening will fix the issue.

  15. Tip popup when zooming in and out (Alt key while brush is selected)

    Whenever I zoom in and out using Alt + scroll wheel or a shortcut on my Wacom pencil, and have a Pencil or Brush selected, the smoothing tool pops up and gives this 'tip' that is obstructing my work. Turning tool tips off does not help.

    'To smooth a section, select its anchor points with the direct selection tool and adjust the slider.'

    It is really annoying, I'm not trying even trying to smooth the paths, just zooming! The tip stays on screen until I do something else, and pops back up whenever I hit alt. I know how the…

  16. Issue with Reading Variable Data from DataSet in Illustrator 29.5

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    I am reaching out to report an issue with Adobe Illustrator (version 29.5) regarding the inability to read variable data from a DataSet object in a script, even though the dataset is correctly loaded and updates the document content as expected.

    Problem Description
    I have a script that processes a CSV file to generate PDF files using variable data in Illustrator. The CSV file contains columns "Cislo" (number) and "JMENO" (name), and it is correctly loaded into Illustrator as a dataset (via Window > Utilities > Variables > Load Variable Library). The dataset updates the document…

  17. Let users select their own brush strokes rather than enforcing inappropriate and slow ones on them

    What if Illustrator didn't default to inappropriate brush strokes every time I attempted to use their brush? Often, I find myself working on designs that need clean vector outlines rather than a ragged brush stroke effect. Having to switch back from the ragged brush stroke every time is time-consuming and slows the software. What if we gave users the freedom to select the brush of their choice?

  19. [ExtendScript] PageItem.resize doesn't scale Live Paint strokes

    While scaling Live Paint object correctly scales strokes if done via the UI, it fails to scale strokes if done via the PageItem.resize method in the scripting API.

    MacOS 15.0.1 Illustrator 29.0.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. New document
    2. Create a Live Paint object including stroked areas.
    3. Select the Live Paint object.
    4. Run the following script:

    var item = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
item.resize(200, 200, true, true, true, true);

    Expected result is that the Live Paint object's stroke widths would double. However they remain the same as before.

    See this user post.

  20. Banding and fragmentation of color gradients in Illustrator

    In an old Illustrator CS6 vector, the gradients became banded and fragmented when I opened them in the newer Illustrator. I layered the gradients with the screen blending mode. I used to have no problems with this vector file, but the problem appeared in my new Illustrator (29.1). What the problem could be?
