  1. I'm tired. Tools occasionally don’t work, artboards don’t get edited, links don’t hold.

    My illustrator since I downloaded it has been very bad, at the moment it is buggy and does not let me edit the artboards, I even had to restart my PC. The bug happens with all the tools and just with the passing of the hours it fixes itself, but I'm tired. I can't even add images or screenshots because it doesn't leave me when it's in that state, it's not my computer, it's a very good computer and I can't say it's because I'm doing something wrong. Simply out of nowhere some tool does not work or the application…

  3. Older Brush Strokes get replaced with new ones drawn nearby

    Why a new brush stroke always replaces the old one, if they're close to each other?

  5. Assets I use for hundreds of documents in my CC library not printing correctly

    Some files the library file is fine, but recently the certain asset is not printing correctly, it is pixelated and colors are wrong. How is this fixed without going through hundreds of print files to reinsert this asset into all of the files so it prints perfect? Its used at the same scale everytime. Has to be saved the same way every time bc of the printer demands. It's just not behaving the same way each document. In the pictures one printed correctly, and the other file did not.

  6. PDF files made on large artboards get downscaled incorrectly.

    When exporting a PDF from a document that's set to "large artboard" the resolution of linked images will get downsampled 10x as much.

    In the screenshots I've provided an example of an Illustrator document that's set to large artboard mode. Artboard is an A4 format with an image that's 300 DPI.

    I then export the PDF saying it should downsample images to 300 DPI.

    Once I open up the PDF in an InDesign document of the same size, you'll see the linked file appears 10x smaller. Not only that, but if you look closely at the image, you'll see that…

  8. 3D inflated art has rippled edges

    I'm getting rippled edges when I apply inflate to vector artwork. I've tried various settings but can't get it to appear as smooth lines. There's also a slight clipping to the right pupil. Can't get it to render properly.

  9. Size issue importing from Illustrator to After Effects

    When exporting from a large size canvas Illustrator file and importing into After Effects there is a bug. It imports all of the elements at 10% of the correct size so they appear tiny in After Effects.

  10. Strange behaviour when scaling rectangles

    In Illustrator 28.4.1 on Windows 11, if a rectangle is rotated to 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees, it isn't able to be reliably manually scaled. Some edge and corner handles snap to unpredictable positions when dragged.

  12. Clipped images gets displayed on adjacent pages in exported PDFs in readers such as Microsoft Edge browsers

    When I place multiple images in a clipping mask, whether it is exported as PDF or saved as PDF, or even if I use Acrobat to optimize the PDF, some PDF readers such as Microsoft Edge will show the image at the bottom of the clipping mask. It becomes a color block displayed on the PDF, but these extra color blocks will disappear after enlarging the PDF interface.

    当我在一个剪切蒙版中放置了多张图片之后 ,不管是导出为PDF还是储存为PDF,甚至我使用了Acrobat对PDF进行优化,都会导致某些PDF阅读器比如“Microsoft Edge”显示出在剪切蒙版底层的图片,变成一个个色块显示在PDF之上,但是放大PDF界面后这些额外显示的色块又会消失。

  13. Cut/Copy/Paste shortcuts

    This is pestering me for more than a month now. Whenever i need to cut or copy objects/vectors, It just won't paste. I had to undo stuff before trying again and again and again and againnnnnnnnnn just to work!! Its not on my hardware i suppose since copy paste outside illustrator is just fine. This bug in illustrator is such a headache that it decreases my efficiency in work by 50%!!!! And im so worried that if Adobe still refuse to fix this bug, I might break my keyboard with all this endless tries of ctrl C and V! And…

  15. Copy/Paste formatted text is broken

    Mac M1 Pro, 16Go, macOS 14.5
    Illustrator 28.5

    When I copy/paste formatted text into a new text frame or at the text cursor place, the formatting is lost.
    It seem that the formatting of first paragraph is applicate to all paragraphs.
    Kerning adjustments is also lost.

  17. PDF opened without changes, but I can see the changes in preview

    1. macOs Big Sur 11.3.1
    2. adobe illustrator 25.3.1 (desktop)
    3. I'm importing PDF file that were changed. In preview before opening I see the changes on the image. Then I choose to import all pages. And when the file is opened, there are not changes and the name of the file is untitled.
    4. I expect to see file with all my changes and the title of the file is the same as the file I choose to open.
    5. The screenshots are attached.

  18. Stroke arrowheads mislabeled

    When changing the arrowheads on a stroke, the dropdown option images don't match the actual icon for the stroke arrowhead. It seems the the same arrowhead icon is previewing in the dropdown for multiple different selections. What you select is not what you get.

  19. Undo stack becomes desynchronized when making a clipping mask using a group that contains another clipping mask

    I often want to clip a group that already contains another clipping mask, and sometimes I accidentally use the wrong top object when making the mask. In this case, Undo does not return the scene to its previous state. Instead, various strange things happen.

    To replicate:
    - Create a group (A) that contains a clipping mask (B) and at least one other object
    - Create an object (C) to be clipped
    - Bring A over top of C, select both and make clipping mask
    - Undo

    The scene should return to its original state, but instead the inner mask (B)…

  20. OS 14.4.1 Printer Page Size Features Lost

    I just updated to Mac OS 14.4.1 on a Mac mini (M1 2020) and now most of the paper size options in the Adobe printer dialogue box are gone. In any non-Adobe app, all 58 paper sizes are still available. In Adobe apps, there are only 14 paper size choices — all of the borderless choices are gone as well as some other, more obscure paper sizes. I've restarted, reloaded the printer driver and it's not made a difference. Looks like OS 14.4.1 messed up something that only affects Adobe products.
