  2. An unknown error occurred when saving AI file

    Since updating to 24.2 on our Macs people are intermittently getting "An unknown error occurred" when trying to save an AI file. We have found in those cases outlining all the fonts will let us save. We are using the latest version of Universal Type Client for our font management.

    ご報告いただいた「PhotoshopEPS 画像を配置するとサイズが大きくなる」という現象ですが、再現できませんでした。

    Photoshop の画像解像度ダイアログで「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じデータを各種画像形式で保存し、Illustrator 2022 に配置した場合は、同じサイズで読み込まれています。

    いくつか質問させていただきます。

    1. Illustrator 2022 では、全ての Photoshop EPS 画像ファイルで同じ現象が再現しますか? (リンク、埋め込み)

    2. Illustrator 2021 で新規ドキュメントを作成し、同じデータを配置しても問題ありませんか?

    3. 各画像データを Photoshop で開いて画像解像度ダイアログで確認しても、同じサイズ設定ですか?

    4. 確認しても「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じ画像データにも関わらず、やはり Illustrator への配置サイズが変わってしまうようでしたら、問題のデータを検証用にご提供いただけますか?

    以上、お手数をおかけいたしますがよろしくお願いいたします。

  5. Artboards with the same number / missing number

    In the artboards menu, two have the same number, and so one cannot access or export one of those two artboards (see the attached photo, with two artboards labeled "9")

    The team again asks for help with this issue, since there are not specific steps they can try to reproduce it — the nature of the bug is random.


    If you are a Windows user, the next time you spot a missing or a duplicated number in Artboards panel, please follow these instructions below.


    1. Open Task Manager

    2. In Details tab, locate 'Illustrator.exe'

    3. Right click it and choose 'Create dump file'

    4. Wait until the dumping process is complete and click 'Open file location' button

    5. Find 'Illustrator.dmp' (sorting files by date helps) and compress it with any archiving utility

    6. Upload the archive to a file hosting service of your choice and sent the link for download to sharewithai@adobe.com. Please use the subject 'Artboards numbering bug dump'


    This will help provide necessary clues to locate the source of the problem. If you are a Mac user —…

  6. Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files

    I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
    However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.

    I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working…

    2.) If yes, please provide Test and script file.
    3) Video & steps with which you are facing issue.

  7. Colour values change on their own! Very frustrating

    Colours keep slightly changing over time, even as I am designing live inside a file!

    I will enter an exact CMYK or RGB value to match our brands colours, then these values will change slightly all on their own.

    I've been monitoring this for about 2 months now hoping this issue would be resolved in an update... but it hasnt been!

    This is a massive issue! Colours have to be stable!

    We need to be able to trust the program with things that are vital for a brand, like their COLOURS!

    This problem requires an investigation, but not enough data is gathered yet to even start it.


    Please provide these settings to help the team to deal with the problem:

    1. The version of illustrator. OS and GPU model

    2. Your color settings (a screenshot of the Color Settings dialog will do)

    3. A test file with swatches which gets changed

    4. A copy of this file when changes happen (if there is a difference in actual numbers swatches store)

    Also, please check if the behaviour differs when you disable GPU mode and note that.


    Send these to sharewithai@adobe.com (please also provide the link to this report for tracking purposes — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/40866958) or share directly in the comments if you are allowed to share these files publicly.


    It looks like this case is configuration specific, so if you are potentially willing to participate in the investigation of this issue by a…

    The team is aware of a similar looking issue, where this is due to Anchor Point Size preference set to Max value. Please check if changing it from Max to any other value resolves this and comment back.

    The investigation continues to get the root cause of this preference corruption.

  9. Lasso tool not selecting

    Since updating Illustrator a month or so ago, the lasso tool rarely works. No vector points are selected and I'm having to use the direct select tool instead.

    Does it happen all the time for you, or occasionally? in any file, or a specific one? If a certain one — can you share it?

    What is your exact OS details and version used?

    Can you record a short video demonstrating the issue?

    Please comment back, the team lack details on this issues and can’t really start investigations this.

  10. ローカルに保存できない(不明なエラー)

    Windows10 64bit pro

    不明なエラーでローカルに保存できません。

    ・何も配置していないドキュメントでも保存できない。
    ・ai/eps/svg/pdfどの形式でも保存できない。
    ・クラウドなら保存できます。

    ・Illustratorをインストールし直しても無理。
    ・Illustrator2020にダウングレードしても無理。
     (2021にアップグレードする前はできていた)
    ・環境ファイルを削除しても無理。

    Hi,

    Thanks for reporting the issue .
    We have fixed the bug which was orignally reported but it seems some users are still facing the issue.

    We are not able to reproduce this issue in house now ,Kindly provide following info to nail down this issue:

    1)Kindly provide some video , Test file(Via File→Package) & some steps with which you are facing issue and share with us at ShareWithAI@adobe.com .

    2)Please try the below mentioned workaround and let us know if that helps:

    If you do not use custom Adobe PDF presets/joboptions or not heard of it then follow the below steps
    1. Navigate to user presets folder
    Win: appdata\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
    2. Rename the folder to “Settings old” and create a new empty folder “Settings” in the same place
    3. Launch Illustrator and check if you can save the document

  14. Missing feature in the French version - UI scaling

    L'option UI scaling dans Edition > Preferences > Interface utilisateur n'est pas dispo dans la version française. Mes collègues qui ont comme moi la version 25.4.1 en anglais ont cette option. Je n'arrive pas à installer la version en anglais, le changement de langue dans creative Cloud n'est pas pris en compte. J'aimerais disposer de cette option.

    This option is available only when OS and display’s resolution allow it.

    As this help article mentions, 'The UI scaling isn't supported for Windows 7 and for screens with low resolution' (however, no actual specs are given).

    So this should no be caused by the UI language.

    Please share the specs of your display or comment back if it’s no longer a problem.

  15. New document size - selection problem

    When creating a new document, you cannot click into width or height box and select as one and overwrite - previously you could do this.

    You have to use backspace - incredibly irritating. Please fix.

    ご報告いただいた「不明なエラーで保存できない」という現象ですが、詳細情報が不明なため、検証ができませんので、追加情報をお知らせください。

    バグを報告する際は、以下の内容を詳しく記載していただけますと、検証を行うことができますのでご協力ください。

    1. お使いのオペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    2. 問題が発生したときに実行していた手順や操作
    3. 想定していた結果
    4. 実際の結果

  18. 合成フォント使用時に、欧文書体のベースラインがずれる

    1. macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Mac mini (2018) プロセッサ/3.2 GHz 6コアIntel Core i7 メモリ/16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 グラフィックス/Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Adobe illustrator 2021(25.2.1)

    2.問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    和文と欧文で合成フォントを作成。
    今回は「TBゴシックstd」と「Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk」を使用。
    Berthold Akzidenz Groteskのサイズを112%、ベースラインを-2%に設定。
    テキストをアウトライン化時に発見。

    3.想定していた結果
    普通にアウトライン化される。

    4.実際の結果
    GPUプレビュー使用時に合成フォントの欧文ベースラインが正しく反映されて表示されない。
    検証したところ、フォントサイズ24ptまではベースラインの数値が反映されず0%で表示。25pt以上でズレて表示される。
    25ptで一番顕著にズレが発生し、フォントサイズが大きくなるにつれてズレ幅が少なくなっていく。
    アウトライン化すると表示からズレて、(おそらく)ベースラインに入力した数値が反映された位置でオブジェクトになる。

    入稿時などにアウトライン化する際にズレが発生するため非常に危険です。

  19. 作成したガイドレイヤーを削除すると、消えずに増える

    1. macOS(Mojave 10.14.6) Illustrator2021(25.2.3)およびIllustrator2018頃から 2.レイヤーパネル上で作成されたガイドレイヤーを削除。 (この時のガイドレイヤーは同一環境で作成された.Aiデータの場合も、別環境で作成された.Aiデータの場合も含みます。また、削除に関してもレイヤーパネル下部ボタンでの削除、キーボードのdeleteを使用した場合どちらも含みます。)
    2. ガイドレイヤーが、通常のレイヤー同様に削除される。
    3. ガイドレイヤーは削除されず、何も描画されていないように見える空のレイヤー(レイヤー名はガイドレイヤー)が複製される。元の削除操作を行ったレイヤーは複製されたレイヤー同様に何も描画されていないように見える空のレイヤーになる。再度、複製されたレイヤーと元の削除したいレイヤーをレイヤーパネル上でまとめて選択し削除すると通常通りに消える。
