  1. Drag and Drop from Photoshop Not Working

    Illustrator Version 28.3, Photoshop Version 25.5.1

    Attempting to drag and drop a layer from photoshop into illustrator and the object is not appearing in illustrator. I can usually do this with no issues. I've tried rasterizing and making the image a smart object but nothing seems to fix the bug. This has just been an issue within the past 2 days.

  6. Layer duplication

    Hello,

    I have asked why JavaScript was not showing a layer that I know exists here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-sdk-discussions/how-to-show-hide-single-layers-in-browser-with-javascript/m-p/15103693#M93768

    Working with Thom Parker it was determined that the failure to show a layer was due to multiple layers. In that thread, I discuss a work around that prevents Illustrator from creating multiple layers such that only single layer instances are saved and thus JavaScript shows and hides layers.

    Previously, when adding a PDF as a graphic element to FrameMaker or InDesign I would get a "Layers don't match" error. This had no effect and so I never looked into it, until now…

  7. クラウドドキュメントとして保存する際にエラーが出る

    macOS 13.6.3
    Illustrator ver.28.3

    1.ILlustratorにて新規ドキュメントを作成
    2.御存ダイアログを表示しクラウドドキュメントを選択。
    3.新規フォルダをクリックし表示されるダイアログに日本語（ascii以外の文字を含む）で名前を付けて保存をクリック。
    4.3で作成したフォルダ内に更にフォルダを作成するため、新規フォルダをクリックし表示されるダイアログに日本語（ascii以外の文字を含む）で名前を付けて保存をクリック。
    5.4で作成したフォルダ内で保存をクリック
    6.エラーダイアログが表示され保存できない。

    期待した結果
    階層が深いディレクトリ構造でも正常にクラウドファイルが保存される。

    実際の結果
    フォルダ構造が多重構造である状態でフォルダ名にマルチバイト文字が利用されていた場合、クラウドドキュメントを保存できない。

    フォルダ階層が２層以上で、かつフォルダ名称がマルチバイト文字を含む場合、クラウドドキュメントの保存が失敗します。
    これはver.27.8以降で起きる問題です。ver.26以前のIllustratorでは正常に保存可能です。
    手元のテストではハイアスキーやルーン文字では保存できるがキリル文字はダメなど全てのマルチバイトがだめだというわけではありませんでした。

    以下のコミュニティスレッドをご参照ください。
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/ver-27-7以降で-クラウドの一定階層以下のディレクトリ内に新規保存できなくなりました/td-p/14510599?profile.language=ja

  8. Panels (Layers, Libraries, Properties) are empty when docked, and get rendered only when opened from icons

    Panel on the right doesn't work when it's extended, it's only working when it's reduced.

  9. Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1

    Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.

    Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.

    The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.

  10. Recent section in New Document dialog is empty with the newest update

    Latest updates cause a problem when creating a New File. The history of past artboard sizes is being wiped out on startup leaving only preset formats to choose from. I do not use any of those, I often use a 50"x100" to design in and would just click on it when needed in the large pane. There is now not even an option to customize the new file unless you choose one of the useless presets and modify it, this slows down production and is annoying as ****. This appeared in the update yesterday and is still there today- I…

  15. An empty document that makes Pathfinder Unite fail and a bounding box to become loose

    I am sending you an empty Illustrator file that leads to Illustrator starts to glitch badly. These are not Illustrator glitches, but a change in Illustrator's behavior due to the open document. But behavior of the App that depends on open document is a bug itself isn't it?

    This document is completely empty. And how can error be reproduced? Below are 2 examples:

    The Unite operation does not work:
    1. Open the document.
    2. Create 2 intersecting rectangles.
    3. Apply Pathfinder / Unite.
    4. The operation is unsuccessful.

    Image rotation does not work:
    1. Open the document.
    2. Import any…

  16. Tracking of the first character shifts the alignment of the next tab stop

    en_US

    When tracking is applied to the first character of a text frame, the alignment of the next tab stop will be shifted from the correct position depending on the amount of tracking.

    Only the tracking of the first character and the next tabstop are affected, not if kerning or akiRight is applied. After the target tab stop, the position will be correct.

    This bug seems to have occurred in Illustrator 2020, as it is not reproduced in Illustrator CC2019(23.1.1).

    Environment

    • macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
    • Illustrator 2020(24.3.0)〜2024(28.5.0)

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Open the attached file trackingtabstop2019.ai in Illustrator 2020 or…

  17. Flash opening & closing of panels! even in older versions and tried multiple installation too!

    UI panels like layer, color, appearance, etc., are expanding & collapsing itself. Looks like flashing panel.
    I tried installing an older version & beta got the same problem—multiple installations, opening/ closing. NOTHING WORKED!

    Due to this, I'm unable to use any AI projects & my client work is getting delayed.

    Maybe it could be my PC problem but I don't get it & Please help.

  18. App crashes right after saving a file

    New v. 29, the King of Crashes
    Steps taken: I restart the app. (ignore the request to restart from the crash manager, somehow, that will cause another crash soon after)
    Crashes usually happen right when the app is done saving a file.
    This is probably the version that crashes most often in a VERY long time of using AI.

  19. Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot

    I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.

    I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.

    I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.

    Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.
