1. Embedded font previews get substituted when pasted as a vector smart object in Photoshop

   In some case, when opening the files, the app does not inform there are missing fonts. They're still displayed like the font is already installed in system. When I copy and paste into Photoshop (as vector smart object), the text is replaced by other fonts automatically without any announcement.

2. The blue "new feature" dot on the Pencil tool isn't going away in a secondary toolbar.

   I have a tiny little toolbar that is nothing but the Draw Above/Below/Inside indicator and the current tool. It'd just be the Draw Location widget but apparently you have to show the current tool in every toolbar. A lot of the time I work with the main toolbar off and just this up.

   Switching to another tool and back doesn't clear the blue dot, even though I've checked the Pencil's settings and seen the new options, and the dot's vanished from the main toolbar.

   The blue dot does go away if I close and restart Illustrator so it's not like this is a major bug but it just makes me feel itchy.

3. Curvature tool does some funkiness when clicking on a point of a different object

   Curvature behaves weird when you click on another object (related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44830828--corner-anchor-points-become-smooth-when-joining).
   But I'm not trying to join the objects, just click on it. It works fine if you click on the path of the second object, but if you click where an anchor point is it joins the two objects together at the point you click and the first anchor point of what you clicked off of. It also deletes all corner points of the object you clicked on.

4. Artboard Borders / Guides / Grid Disappear when Scrolling/Panning

   When I scroll or pan with the scrollbars or the hand tool the black border of the artboards disappear. This is super annoying as I keep my canvas white, so when I'm moving around the canvas, I can't see where the artboards are until I release the hand tool.

5. About the Pencil Tool and Image Tracing in version 2025

   The accuracy of the path conversion for the pencil tool and image tracing has decreased in version 2025. Even if I change the settings to fine, it is converted to a coarse path, and I cannot express the details like in previous versions. Please improve it as soon as possible.

   Zuher, please provide more information. Record a video, provide a test file or specific steps if there are specific actions needed, mention your OS and hardware details, the version number, so that the team could try to reproduce the problem at their side.

8. Enough with the memory sucking "upgrades" already!

   Hey Adobe, you've already forced us all to pay more for your subscription based software model now, so maybe instead of focusing so ******* building memory sucking AI generative tools for people who aren't artists, you should provide a version for the folks who don't need all this new ****. Stop messing with perfectly good and functional software that real artists want to use! I can't even tell you how many times the recent releases have crashed and I lost all my work, it's incredibly frustrating! I have a new macbook pro that can handle the demand, so the problems are clearly on your end. I miss the days of buying physical software. Give me Adobe Illustrator CS6 and stop forcing me to use your BS "upgrades" for more money, so sick of it!

9. I can't see any shapes I have created inside and outside the artboard, even when I have not selected any preview options

   I am not able to see any shapes, I created inside and outside the artboard. I made sure that none of the preview options are selected, still after zooming in and out whole shapes are disappearing from the illustrator software.

10. Illustrator sometimes reports the font is not installed but then finds it on its own

    Boa tarde, há uns dias abri um documento que dizia que o tipo de letra estava ausente e hoje ao abrir dizia que já tinha o tipo de letra utilizado naquele texto. Sendo que não instalei a fonte nem passei nenhuma ficheiro da mesma de um pc para o outro, podem dizer-me se isto é normal ou se há algum bug no vosso programa?

11. Acrobat PDF File Format error when saving .AI documents. The size of the passed callbacks struct is wrong.

    Illustrator 30.0 (64 bit.) windows 11 recently loaded then I updated to 30.0. since then 99 % of the time I open my current .AI files to update them and save them, I receive this error which I can't fix. The only way to bypass it is the save to the downloads folder and then over write the original unsaved file with the new version. This is affecting my production time, so it is quite urgent. It could be a setting but as I don't understand the message I can't fix it.

13. Quit making fonts unavailable (Neuropol)

    Almost every time that I open my menus and logos the fonts that I use are no longer available. I used the same Neuropol font for my menus and logos for 14 years before going to the cloud-based software. Since going to cloud based software I have had to resolve the missing Neuropol font to a slightly different variation at least 4 or 5 times. Not only is it annoying and time consuming, it is causing inconsistencies in my brand, and with this current update, it does not work at all.

14. Unidentified dash / gap values get shown as zeroes

    Make a simple test (as demonstrated in the attached GIF).
    Make sure you test this after relaunching Illustrator.
    Open Preferences > Units and make sure you have all three parameters (General, Stroke, Type) set to Points.

    A. Create a new document based on Web document profile
    B. Create a simple rectangle
    C. In the Stroke panel enable Dashed Line option

    The first 'dash' value would be 12 pt (or somethin else if you general units are not points), and the rest of the fields would be empty, undefined. It means Illustrator uses the same 12 pt for the gap.

    D. Now create a document using Print profile
    E. Create a rectangle
    F. Enable Dashed Line once more

    Looks the same, right?

    J. Go to Preferences again and change the General units to Millimeters.

    Look at the dash-gaps values — for some reason all values but one are now zeros!
    While it might SEEM like 'whatever', it’s actually not, and this bug was not present in CS6.

    K. Here’s why it’s a problem. Create a duplicate of this rectangle and tab through all the dash and gap fields in the Stroke panel, confirming these zeroes for real.

    Now you have a rectangle with the same exact values Ai had before, but it looks completely solid!
    And if you select the original one — it suddenly has only the first value dash set, and not all of them.

    So Ai just lies.
    For some reason when units get toggled (and it’s common when you work in both media at the same time), Ai puts 'zeroes' — but it doesn’t mean 'undefined'. This was working fine in older versions (I checked CS6).

    This causes us to believe the dash settings are not what they are.
    And while it seems like rare occurrence — no, it happens regularly, and it sucks.

    Please fix it.

16. Appearance items below get expanded / unfurled when anything changes in the panel

    Assign many fills to a path using Appearance.
    Do anything with anything in the panel: change a color, assign an effect, add another fill.

    Fills below the current one get unfurled.

    These could be fills just below the current view of the panel, 'below the fold', as one of the attached GIFs show, or all the fills below the last unique one, as in the second GIF.

    I’d test more, but the fact we can’t collapse all the items in the Appearance panel (which is possible with Opt/Alt in Layers!) makes me extremely irritated — so I made a request to allow this as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49257572

    UserVoice has many more reports and requests about Appearance being underdeveloped. I do my best to crosslink these, but don’t hesitate to just look for these here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs?category_id=209074 and here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests?category_id=209482

17. Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only

    This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

    Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

    OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

    Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

    For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

    Basically:

    When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it appears at roughly 1/10th of the intended scale. This can also be replicated by opening the files in Acrobat.

    The same files saved as PDF from Illustrator 2026 open at the correct size in the RIP, and .ai files saved from Illustrator 2025 also open at the correct scale. This suggests the problem is specific to the Illustrator 2026 .ai format for large artboards.

    Steps to reproduce:

    On a Mac Studio (M1 or M2) running macOS Sequoia, open Adobe Illustrator 30.0 (2026).

    Create a new document with a large artboard (52x300).

    Add some content.

    Save the file as a native .ai file (Illustrator 2026 default format).

    Open the saved .ai file in Onyx (RIP software) or Adobe Acrobat.

    Compare the size reported by Acrobat or Onyx (or measured within the RIP) to the original artboard / artwork dimensions in Illustrator.

    For comparison:

    From the same Illustrator 2026 document, Save As → PDF with default or standard print settings.

    Open the PDF in Onyx or Acrobat and check the size.

    Repeat the same test using Adobe Illustrator 2025, saving an .ai file with the same artboard dimensions, and open that .ai in Onyx or Acrobat.

    Expected result:

    The .ai file saved from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) should open in Acrobat and Onyx at the exact same scale and dimensions as defined in the Illustrator document (matching the large artboard size).

    The size reported in the RIP should match the Illustrator artboard (just as it does with Illustrator 2025 .ai files and 2026 PDFs).

    Actual result:

    Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files with large artboards open in Acrobat and Onyx at approximately 1/10th of the correct scale.

    The same artwork:

    Opens at the correct scale as a PDF exported from Illustrator 2026.

    Opens at the correct scale when saved as .ai from Illustrator 2025.

    So the incorrect scaling appears specific to 2026 .ai files + large artboards.

    Scope / notes:

    Issue has been reproduced by multiple users in our environment, all on M1/M2 Mac Studios.

    Affected OS: macOS Sequoia (and likely the previous macOS version on some machines; behavior appears consistent across both).

    The common factor is Illustrator 30.0 (2026) + large artboard .ai.

    PDF workflow works fine, as does Illustrator 2025, which is our current workaround, but we prefer to send native .ai files to the RIP, and we use the large artboards extensively.

    I would upload example files, but .ai files are apparently an invalid file type to upload here.

    This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

    Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

    OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

    Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

    For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.
