プレビュー用のPDFの文字が化けました
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Adobe Illustrator v29.7.1
他社で作成されたCentury Gothic Regular が使われているIllustratorドキュメント（作成バージョンは29.7）を開いて修正して保存した。
このデータはInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置されていた。
InDesignドキュメントの表示の、Century Gothicの数字が異なる数字になっていた。
1→3、0→2 のように。
修正した環境にはCentury Gothicがインストールされていない。Font Bookに表示されない。
が、Illustratorはフォントエラーを表示することなく、開いた。
PDFを書き出すと、正常に表示される。
プレビューのPDFのみ化けている。
その後、調べてみると、Illustrator内では「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」が使用されていることがわかった。
また、Illustrator v28.7.9ではプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
さらに、「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」を適当なFontsフォルダにインストールすると、Illustrator v29.7.1でもプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
コミュニティの記述にv29.2.1までダウンバージョンすると様々なバグが回避できるとあったので、ダウンバージョンしてみたが、やはり化ける。
v29.0までダウンバージョンしてみたが、全て化けた。
再現方法としては、
1. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダに入れる
2. Illustratorでドキュメントを新規作成
3. 数字を入力
4. 書体をCentury Gothic Regularにする
5. 保存して閉じる
6. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダから外す
7. 5.のドキュメントを開く
8. 修正して保存（または別名保存）
以上を、各バージョンのIllustratorで実行。
InDesignに貼り付けるまでもなく、Finderのプレビューで確認できる。8 votes -

Line Extension Smart Guide not working
I recently updated my Illustrator to 2025 and my smart guides are on but when I extend a line now it is no longer snapping to "Line Extension". I have verified that in my preferences under Smart Guides, "Anchor/ Path Labels" is turned on. Not sure if this is a bug with the new update or what is going on.

Alt & drag to copy not working.
I only read one post about this problem with a GIF example. I'm working on Windows desktop, every time I try to alt + drag to copy something, at first it creates a copy, but when I release the mouse or keys (tested many combinations), it ends up only moving that object to that place instead of creating a copy. It's really frustrating because it's making my job difficult.

"Apply to All" checkbox or "Replace All" button are missing AGAIN
Apply to All option for missing/replacing links is missing again in version 28.5. Now instead of being able to click that and replace all links I know have to do the relink step up to 30 times every print file.
78 votesHello all,
The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.
'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.
Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.
Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.
As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…

After updating my system to Sequoia 15.7.2, the text tools stopped working.
After updating my system to Sequoia 15.7.2, the text tools stopped working.
Any action I perform on the text, such as changing the size or font, produces no result. The app slows down significantly. My work has completely stopped because of this.
I have the latest version, 30.0, installed.
I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator, but that didn't help.
I also tried installing an older version, but the result was the same. Is Illustrator incompatible with the new Sequoia 15.7.2?Any ideas?

Objects just vanish when rasterizing inside a clipping mask
Okay, this is seriously annoying. In the latest Illustrator on Windows, if you rasterize inside a clipping mask, poof — your objects are gone.
Steps (super easy to test):
Draw a bunch of objects and group them.
Make a shape and apply a clipping mask.
Double-click to go inside the group.
Select everything and rasterize.
And just like that... everything disappears.If you leave even one object out of the selection, they don’t disappear.
But when you select all → gone.
If I only rasterize one object, or part of them, it works fine. But if I select all? Illustrator…

Way too many anchorpoints after expanding strokes or using the 'Blob Brush' tool
Years and years ago something changed in Pathfinder commands, and when expanding the results contained many more anchor points than in the version before. I submitted a workflow and was told this could not be corrected in the next version and possibly not even in the version after that. It took years to get better, and it was still not as good as in CS2 (yes).
Now, expanding strokes or even using the 'Blob Brush' results in so, so many anchor points that an immediate 'Simplify' is required to create usable designs. Using both the 'Pen' tool and all other…3 votes -
Order of duplicated artboards is reversed
A big issue is that if you select several artboards at once to duplicate them and they were in order
A
B
C
they used to duplicate as
copy of A
copy of B
copy of CSince the latest Illustrator update they mirror instead, as
copy of C
copy of B
copy of AMakes batch duplication worthless and I now have to duplicate each one separately OR do the set and then move them around manually.

Holding Shift when picking a color from a gradient in a CMYK document samples the wrong color
Even though we can hold Shift to pick a color form an object with a gradient applied, it picks the color sampled from the screen — the RGB value.
It means if we are in a CMYK document and picking a color from a white-to-black gradient, the picked color would NOT be a shade of black, as expected, but an atrocious converted muddy RGB value.
This is not what it should do!5 votes -
Fonts change after reopening Illustrator file
I created a mailer in Illustrator with around 10–12 artboards and exported everything perfectly with the correct fonts. When I reopened the same file after two days to make changes, all the fonts had changed automatically, some text had disappeared, and the layout no longer matched my earlier exported JPGs. The fonts were installed and displaying correctly at the time of the first export, so the issue only appeared after reopening the saved file. I’ve attached the before/after GIF to show the difference.

New Artboard Paste in Front Fails and Select Artboard Fails in Artboards panel
Illustrator 29.6.1 - Mac
When starting with more than one artboard.
If you select all objects on an artboard. Copy.
Then make a new identical artboard in another position to the artboard you copied artwork from, you cannot select the new artboard and paste in front.
I suspect it is a bug how illustrator keeps track of how many artboards it has because the name is always artboard [number] and the new artboard number in the name is always incorrectly one higher than the actual number.
You can no longer select an artboard in the Artboards panel and select objects…5 votes -
Persistent Toolbar Rich Tooltips
Tooltips are particularly buggy when using more than one monitor, they tend to persist and keep animating whilst users are attempting to focus on what they are doing within the interface.

Pencil Tool Fidelity setting is either buggy, or something weird is going on.
With Pencil Tool
The most accurate setting (1) produces 44 points in my example.
The next setting (2) produces 10 points.
The following setting (3) produces 17 points.Settings 2 and 3 are in the wrong order.
I wondered why there was such a huge accuracy gap between settings 1 and 2, and then I noticed this.
I’ve attached a sample .ai file.2 votes -
Cannot Save as New File in v30

Trying to "save as new" but the save window does not load completely and then button shapes inside disappear and remains in this state. The only thing you can do is close the box.

Text size and kerning keyboard shortcuts still do not work.

Selecting a path no longer helps to select its anchor below another anchor above from an unselected path
iMac running Ventura 13.5.2
Illustrator 29.4Since the latest update (I think), I cannot select anchor points that are below others like I used to.
Until now, I used to be able to click on the object from which I wanted to select an anchor point (black line in the movie), then click on the desired anchor point with the white arrow and it would select the anchor point from this object.
Now it selects the anchor point from the other object that is above (red line). Which means now I need to bring the first object to the front…

Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update
I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.
When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.
Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.
Thank you for…

Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator
When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.
This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.
