1. Space characters differ in Illustrator and InDesign

   OS: MacOS 15.7.7 (24G720)
   Illustrator-Version: 30.6
   Illustrator offers the space characters Quarter, Half-quarter, Twenty-fourth, Eighth.
   Using these space characters in Adobe Illustrator leads to completely different results (spacing) than in Adobe InDesign.
   Is this a program error or a font error?
   I would also like to see the space characters menu expanded to include the Sixth, Eighth, Quarter, Third.

   The font team confirmed Illustrator is using the space glyph instead of the Unicode glyph (U+2009). Logged and will be fixed.

2. Artboard Names changes revert if names are tabbed between.

   When updating multiple artboard names via the Artboards Panel, pressing Tab advances to the next artboard name. However, if multiple artboard names are changed this way, and the changes are reflected in the panel, these changes are not reflected in the export artboards panel, and clicking in to edit any artboard name again causes them all to revert to their previous names.

3. Swatch pattern reduces scale when copied from one illustrator document to another

   When I copy a CAD drawing from one illustrator document to another, the pattern swatch scale in the CAD reduces.
   I've noticed it doesn't happen with every swatch, only some. Sometimes the CAD itself will also reduce scale.
   I have also noticed that if I create a new document I won't have this issue, however when I paste it into an already existing document, this is when the problem is usually occurring.
   I have doubled checked the canvas size for both documents, and they are the same.
   This is in version 30.2.1.

4. Acrobat layers duplicate excessively in AI file’s compatible PDF

   Illustrator 2025 (29.8.2)

   When “Save in Background” is enabled, the Acrobat layers in the compatible PDF within AI files duplicate according to the number of artboards. For example, when there are 10 artboards and 2 layers, there should be 2 Acrobat layers, but instead 20 layers are generated.

   ---

   aiファイルの互換PDFでAcrobatレイヤーが過剰に複製される

   「バックグラウンドで保存」が有効な場合、AIファイル内の互換PDFにおけるAcrobatレイヤーがアートボードの数に応じて複製されます。例えば、アートボードが10個、レイヤーが2個ある場合、Acrobatレイヤーは2個であるべきところ、実際には20個のレイヤーが生成されます。

5. 优化运行内存占用

   1. Adobe Illustrator 2026 (version 30.7) consumes excessive memory upon launch—just enabling it uses up to 900MB.
      
   2. A file with 80 artboards, all containing text, sized at 263mm wide by 359mm high, experiences lag when dragging 5 or 10 artboards; there is noticeable delay. After creating outlines for the text and clicking X to exit, the software crashes.
      
   3. Saving a document with 80 artboards as a PDF does not allow background saving.
      
   4. A file with 110 artboards, each 263mm wide by 359mm high and filled entirely with text, causes extremely high memory usage. Copying and pasting operations are sluggish. We request optimization on overall memory consumption, including per-software memory footprint, memory usage when creating a new artboard, memory usage for text-only artboards, and general performance improvements.

6. Thumbnails glitching when saved

   Randomly, when files and thumbnails are saved out of Illustrator, the resulting thumbnails are glitched in a variety of ways. This glitch is present in the preview in the Finder window, but upon opening the file again, the glitch is not present. This is not from appearances or overprint being applied to artwork elements, as we are familiar with the issues those settings present in a print production environment, and this is a separate issue.

   • Running on a MacBook Pro, 2021, running Sequoia 15.0.
   • Using Illustrator 30.0.
   • The issue occurs when Illustrator saves a file or thumbnail, randomly, without any indicators that it's going to happen.
   • The preview of the file and the thumbnails of the file should match exactly how the file appears in Illustrator, but the saved -preview and thumbnails appear glitched in some way.

   A) In the orange file example, the file is saved exactly as shown in screenshot A1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with elements duplicated and scaled differently from the actual file and how the actual file appears when reopened—screenshot A2 and A3. I do not have the original file with the issue to attach.

   B) In the Super Collagen file, the file was saved exactly as shown in screenshot B1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with multiple elements missing and without the background elements—screenshot B2.

   C) In the Smooth Current Serum file, the file was saved exactly as shown in screenshot C1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with a previous version of the "SMOOTH" text overlapping the actual text in the artwork. This old version had 3 "O's" in the text, but was DELETED/removed from the file. Yet it saved over top of the corrected version in the thumbnail and preview, even though this "SMOOOTH" text had been deleted PRIOR to saving the file.

   These issues cause huge problems in a production environment when the thumbnails are used for proofing and the software saving out the thumbnails cannot be trusted to accurately represent the artwork. I have screenshots and files for about 15 additional documented instances of this thumbnail/preview glitch occurring.

   The same issue appears to have been reported to the r/AdobeIllustrator thread on reddit a month ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1okei68/anyone_else_getting_glitched_previews_for_ai/

7. New Blend panel doesn’t support actions

   As reported by Kurt Gold here —https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/illustrator-30-7-new-blend-panel-no-actions-1635013

   In Illustrator 30.7 the modal Blend Options dialog was replaced with a dedicated Blend panel. Basically, that's an improvement.

   BUT: Unlike the modal dialog, none of the settings in the new panel can be recorded as part of an action in the Actions panel. That's a pain.

   Adobe, I guess you can imagine that this is a serious setback for action creators?

   What is the general reason why you don't make sure that new commands/settings are always actionable?

9. Un-tabbed document (i.e. dragged out of application frame) jumping to font

   Mac OS Tahoe 26.5.2
   Illustrator 30.6

   Fairly recent issue following a Mac OS update.

   I have a number of documents open/tabbed in the application frame.

   I drag one out of the application frame in order to work on it while conveniently being able to view another document in the application frame behind.

   I click on the document in the application frame to make an adjustment and the un-tabbed document jumps in front.

   Repeatedly clicking the document in the application frame does eventually give it focus but the un-tabbed document will always randomly jump to the front without me clicking anywhere near it.

   Tried resetting prefs etc. and turning application frame on and off but the issue persists. Using Stage Manager is not an option which works for me.

10. Illustrator 30.3+ silently substitutes installed fonts without reporting them missing (prepress risk on macOS)

    This is reproducible with a single existing AI file by opening it in 30.2.1 and then opening the identical file in 30.3+ on the same Mac without changing any fonts.

    Starting with Illustrator 30.3 on macOS, Illustrator silently renders some installed fonts as Myriad while continuing to report "Missing Fonts: 0." This creates a serious prepress issue because converting text to outlines permanently outlines the wrong font with no warning.

    I am using Monotype Connect Fonts to manage fonts.

    Versions tested on the same Mac with the same AI file and same font environment:

    29.8.10 - WORKS CORRECTLY
    30.2 - WORKS CORRECTLY
    30.2.1 - WORKS CORRECTLY
    30.3 - FAILS
    30.4 - FAILS
    30.6 - FAILS
    30.8 - FAILS

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open an existing Illustrator file containing text using Book Antiqua.
    Open the file in Illustrator 30.3 or newer.
    Observe the text using Book Antiqua.
    Open Type > Find/Replace Font.

    Expected result:

    Book Antiqua should render correctly. If Illustrator cannot access or resolve the font, Illustrator should report the font as missing and provide a missing-font warning.

    Actual result:

    The document continues to list Book Antiqua in Find/Replace Font and reports "Missing Fonts: 0."

    However, the text is visibly rendered as Myriad instead of Book Antiqua.

    There is no missing-font dialog or substituted-font warning.

    Opening the identical file in Illustrator 30.2.1 immediately renders Book Antiqua correctly without making any changes to the document or font installation.

    This is a serious production issue, not simply a font-preview inconvenience.

    In a normal print-production workflow, I select the artwork and use Type > Create Outlines before creating the press PDF. Illustrator 30.3 and later will create outlines from the incorrectly substituted Myriad text. At that point the substitution becomes permanent vector artwork and there is nothing for a PDF preflight or the printer to identify as a missing font.

    This could therefore result in an incorrectly typeset job being printed without Illustrator ever warning the operator that a font was not being rendered correctly.

    The behaviour begins specifically with Illustrator 30.3. Illustrator 30.2.1 and earlier tested versions render the same font correctly on the same Mac.

    This appears potentially related to the font-handling changes introduced in Illustrator 30.3. Unlike previously reported issues involving Typeface auto-activation, this occurs in a Monotype Fonts production environment and can result in silent font substitution during press preparation.

    This is reproducible with a single existing AI file by opening it in 30.2.1 and then opening the identical file in 30.3+ on the same Mac without changing any fonts.

11. エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる／Envelope Distort becomes misaligned at large scale

    問題の説明:
    エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる

    再現手順:
    1. ドキュメントを作成してオブジェクトを描画し、適当なカラーを設定する
    →長方形や楕円形など、何でも良い。確認しやすくするため、小さめに作ると良い
    2. オブジェクトを選択し、「オブジェクト」メニュー→「エンベロープ」→「メッシュで作成」を実行する
    3. ダイアログで好きなメッシュ数を設定し、エンベロープを作成する
    4. 出来上がったエンベロープを選択したまま、3000～4000%など大きなパーセンテージで拡大する。
    →バウンディングボックス、拡大・縮小ツール、変形パネルでの数値指定など、拡大の方法は何でも良い

    実際の結果:
    特定の大きさを超えると、エンベロープ内のオブジェクトがメッシュからズレた大きさで変形される

    期待された結果:
    どれだけ拡大してもメッシュに合わせた大きさでエンベロープ内のオブジェクトが変形される

    回避方法:
    必要な大きさまで拡大してからエンベロープを作成する

12. Illustrator 2026 embeds each duplicate bitmap image separately in PDFs, causing extremely large files

    Mac Studio M2 Ultra, Tahoe 26.5.1

    Illustrator 2026 embeds duplicate instances of the same bitmap separately when saving a PDF, causing the PDF size to increase with every duplicate.

    To test this, I used one 2000 × 2000 PNG file that is 7.5 MB. I placed it once, duplicated the placed object a total of 9 times, and saved the same layout as a PDF using comparable settings in Illustrator 2025, Illustrator 2026, and InDesign 2026.

    Results:

    Illustrator 2025 version 29.8, Adobe PDF Library 17: 8 MB
    Illustrator 2026 version 30.3, Adobe PDF Library 18: 71 MB
    InDesign 2026 version 21.4, Adobe PDF Library 18: 7.9 MB

    Illustrator 2025 and InDesign 2026 appear to embed the bitmap once and reuse it for the duplicate placements. Illustrator 2026 appears to embed the bitmap data separately for each duplicate instance.

    The InDesign result shows that Adobe PDF Library 18 can produce an efficient PDF from the same duplicated bitmap layout. This points to a regression in Illustrator 2026 or Illustrator 2026’s integration with PDF Library 18, rather than a general limitation of PDF Library 18.

    Expected result: Illustrator should embed each unique bitmap once and reference that image for all duplicate placements, as Illustrator 2025 does.

    Actual result: Illustrator 2026 creates a PDF many times larger because each duplicate bitmap instance appears to be embedded separately.

13. Saving as SVG changed in 30.5.1 and no longer respects artboard

    Beginning with version 30.5.1 (apparently), the full size of the artboard is no longer used when saving to SVG, but instead the bounds are reduced to fit the artwork. This is breaking my workflow with tools used downstream where I need the fixed sized artboard that I'm using. I reverted to version 30.4, and the problem went away.

    Resetting preferences and keyboard shortcuts does not fix it. I created a new action to perform the exit task temporarily.
    Expected behavior: ESC should exit text mode.

16. Illustrator 30.6 repeatedly requests macOS "Access data from other apps" permission on every launch

    Every time Illustrator is launched, it triggers a dialog asking for "permission to access data from other apps" that requires a click to continue working. Every time! This is nuts. Granting this permission once should be enough.

18. Stroke scaling bug in Illustrator even with “Scale Strokes & Effects” enabled

    Hi Adobe team,

    I would like to report an issue regarding stroke behavior in Adobe Illustrator.

    Even with “Scale Strokes & Effects” enabled in both Preferences and the Transform panel, the stroke weight still changes incorrectly when scaling objects. When scaling down, the stroke becomes thinner than expected, and when scaling up, it becomes thicker than it should.

    I noticed that normal strokes behave correctly, including strokes applied in the Appearance panel. However, the issue occurs when I group two or more objects (text/shapes) and then apply a stroke via Appearance on the group. Once the group is scaled, the stroke scales incorrectly.

    This behavior did not happen in earlier versions. On Illustrator v29.5, everything works fine — this issue started to appear in v29.6 and above, and continues in v30.0.

    Troubleshooting steps I’ve already tried:

    • Verified “Scale Strokes & Effects” is enabled
    • Reset Illustrator preferences
    • Cleared cache and restarted the app
    • Tested on multiple files (new and existing)
    • Tested both GPU and CPU preview
    • System reboot

    The issue still persists and affects my workflow, especially when working with icons and UI graphics that require precise stroke consistency.

    System details:

    • OS: Windows 11
    • Illustrator version: 30.0 (v29.5 works correctly; issue starts in v29.6 and above)

    If needed, I can provide a screen recording and sample file to help reproduce the bug.

    Thank you.

    btw. the video attached already enabled ''scale stroke and effect''

    We have the fix available for this in version 30.1 and later. Please try at your end and let us know your observations.

19. Extremely Sluggish after Using Edit Toolbar

    Picking any tool from Edit Toolbar will bring Illustrator to a crawl. Popups become unresponsive for around 5 seconds. If I start Illustrator while holding down Shift Ctrl Alt, it works great - but only when I do so. If I don't, it's back to being slow. Running Illustrator as an Administrator also makes it run great.

20. GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below

    I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:

    1. Create a simple circle.
    2. Create a simple rectangle.
    3. Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
    4. Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).

    Result:
    The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).

    Additional Notes:

    The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
    Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.
    Changing the color profile or color model did not resolve the issue.
    Deleting Illustrator's preferences folder also had no effect.
    Rolling back to Illustrator 29.5 resolves the issue.
    Apologies for not including a screenshot – I rolled back to 29.5 before capturing one.
