1. Image in clipping mask moves when I open the file in Acrobat or Preview

   Illustrator 29.8.2 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8

   I have images in clipping masks. When I open the .ai document in Adobe Acrobat or Preview, the images have moved.
   The workaround I have for now is to print to .ps to generate a .pdf.

   (I just updated Illustrator but it happened yesterday too before the update with another file)

2. Smart Objects not updating correctly due to Optimized Save Illustrator 30

   I have been running into an issue since updating to Illustrator 30. After a fair amount of observation, I believe it is coming from this enhancement as listed in the Illustrator 30 release notes: "Save complex edits in your artwork faster, as Illustrator now only saves the changes you make, not the entire document each time".

   Since the update to Illustrator 30, when I edit and save relatively complex vector smart objects that are embedded or linked in Photoshop, the objects have begun to appear incorrectly in Photoshop (I'm also using the latest version of Photoshop, up to date on Mac OS). Elements within the smart object itself will appear out of layer order (or simply disappear), or transparency masks will disappear. I noticed when I was making minor edits, the "save" would take much less time than usual. That is how I discovered the existence of this new File Save performance enhancement that I believe is the root cause of this.

   When I "force" Illustrator to save the entire smart object file (rather than just the changes I've made) by hitting "Select All" and nudging up one tick and back down one tick, then hitting save — the smart object takes notably longer to save, then updates correctly in Photoshop. I have repeated this over and over again, so it feels relatively isolated to these criteria, best I can tell!

   Thank you in advance for your attention on this! Thank you so much for your hard work on the software updates.

   *Update: another possible work-around is to turn off "Save in Background". Obviously only a workaround, not a fix.

   This issue is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.3.126 build.

   Kindly update (or install) to verify the fix making it behave as expected, to allow the team to safely push it into the next general build.

   If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

3. Centre Points of all objects are visible when I reopen files

   Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8

   Each time I reopen a file in which I had a mix of objects with either visible or hidden centre points, most of these are visible (at least, those of paths, guides…) and they can get in the way.

   I think this started happening with the new version 30.0 (or maybe just the one before).

   Here are examples of 2 similar files, one with and one without all Centre Points showing.

   The team tried to fix this in Beta 30.1.0.109. The latest one is 30.2.0.12.

   If you can — please try to use Beta and see if no centers will be enabled or disabled when reopening a file. The fix won’t remove those that are already in a document, so we need to to toggle them manually in the Attributes panel.

4. Properties panel fields don’t accept numeric input until focus resets (MacBook Pro, Illustrator 2025, macOS Sequoia 15.5)

   On my MacBook Pro (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.5 with Illustrator 2025, I’m running into a recurring focus bug in the Properties panel numeric fields (Width, Height, Stroke Weight, etc.).

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Select an object.
   2. Click once in the Width (W) or Height (H) field in the Properties panel.
   • The field highlights, but no blinking text cursor appears.
   3. Attempt to type a number.
   • Input is ignored — Illustrator interprets the keystrokes as shortcuts instead of text.
   4. Workaround:
   • Open the Transform panel (Window > Transform) and type numbers there.
   • After doing this, the Properties panel fields suddenly allow input again (cursor blinks and numbers can be typed).

   Expected result:
   Clicking into a Properties panel numeric field should always place the text cursor and accept number input.

   Actual result:
   Single-clicking sometimes only highlights the field without giving text focus, preventing numbers from being entered.

   System details:
   • MacBook Pro 2023
   • macOS Sequoia 15.5
   • Illustrator 2025 (please see About Illustrator for exact build/version)

   Impact:
   This slows down workflow significantly when adjusting object dimensions, since numeric entry is inconsistent and requires panel switching as a workaround.

5. Spot swatch color is not saved correctly when changing the color of an existing swatch

   1. Details of your operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (10.0.19045 Build 19045)

   2. The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0

   3. The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
      Create a new document, add a spot swatch and set the color to 100% cyan (or any color). Apply this spot swatch to an object, like a rectangle for example. Save the document as an .ai file. Then, change the color of the spot swatch to a different color (for example 100% yellow, or any color). Save the document again as an .ai file. Open the document in Acrobat.

   4. Your expected result and the actual result:
      Expected result is that the rectangle in the file when opened in Acrobat should be 100% yellow, following the example above, or whatever the spot swatch color was changed to. Actual result is that the rectangle remains the original color when the document was first saved. If the spot swatch is changed, then copied into a new document then it displays correctly when saved.

   5. Upload your Illustrator file or a video (screen recording or gif, this helps us most to reproduce the issue and resolve it)
      Open the file in Illustrator and the rectangle is yellow. Open the file in Acrobat and the rectangle is cyan.

   Why does this matter? Many production printing RIPs use the embedded PDF data in the .ai file. If the spot swatch color data is not being updated correctly on a subsequent file save this causes issues in production workflows.

6. Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes

   Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
   Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!

   I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.

7. PDF with negative values for BleedBox, MediaBox shows incorrectly

   A PDF with negative values for the lower left corner of BleedBox, MediaBox and a TrimBox that has its lower left corner at (0,0) shows differently in Illustrator and Acrobat. Acrobat (and other PDF viewers) show the contents as expected, in Illustrator the content seems shifted.

   The attached example PDF has three different pages, the first two pages look as expected, the last page (with the negative values) does not look the same in Illustrator and Acrobat.

8. Objects on Path tool caushes instant crash

   Using a mac mini and v. 30.1 of Illustrator. every single time I use the Objects on Path tool illustrator crashes instantly. It wasn't doing this a couple of days ago. I thought it was because of a new script I downloaded but even after removing it I still have the same issue.

9. Auto-update of linked images broken in Illustrator 2025 (works in 2024)

   have encountered an issue with Illustrator 2025(~29.7.1) on macOS 15.6.1.
   When I edit and save a linked PSD file in Photoshop, Illustrator 2025 does not auto-update the linked image immediately when switching back from Photoshop.
   • In Illustrator 2024, this works perfectly: saving in Photoshop → switching to Illustrator → the link updates instantly.
   • In Illustrator 2025, the update does not happen unless I first switch to another app or Finder, then return to Illustrator.
   • I confirmed this behavior on multiple Macs, both before and after updating macOS.
   • Preferences “Update Links Automatically” and “Check Links Before Opening Document” are enabled.

   It seems Illustrator 2025(~29.7.1) is not detecting the file system change event when switching directly from Photoshop.
   Could you please confirm if this is a known bug, and if a fix is planned in a future update?

10. 縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない

    macOS 14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.29.1

    Step to reproduce
    1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
    2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
    3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
    4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。

    期待する動作
    矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。

    実際の結果
    スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。

    回避策
    Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。

    縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
    また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。

    以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/縦書き文章でスレッドテキストオプションが正常におこなわれない/td-p/15077023?profile.language=ja

11. Dataset names with decimal values are truncated during Batch Export

    When exporting multiple Data Sets via Actions (PDF/EPS/SVG/JPG/PNG format), if the Data Set name contains a decimal value (for example: “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG”), the exported file name does not retain the full value.
    Instead, the file name is truncated and exported as “Cumin Seeds 1.pdf” rather than “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG.pdf”.

    It appears that Illustrator interprets the period (.) in the dataset name as part of a file extension separator, which results in the decimal value being removed during export.

    This creates workflow issues, especially in packaging and SKU-based production environments where decimal weights such as 1.6 KG, 2.5 KG, etc., are standard and must remain accurate in file naming for printing, inventory, and documentation purposes.

    I kindly request:
    1. A review of this behavior to determine whether it is a bug.
    2. If intentional, consideration of a feature enhancement that allows dataset names to preserve decimal values during batch export.
    3. Alternatively, an option that allows users to control filename parsing behavior when exporting via Data Sets.

    This improvement would greatly benefit professionals working with variable data and multi-SKU packaging workflows.

12. Shape changes color every time I reopen the file after saving

    As the title says, every time I start working on the saved file, a particular 1 type of shape across all artboards changes color to yellow or black from white when I reopen the saved file. Still can't understand why yellow or black, I never put yellow on that shape.

15. Absolute mode in Transform Each gives inaccurate dimensions

    For the new "Absolute" option in the Transform Each window, I expected it to be able to scale objects with strokes to exact dimensions when the "Scale Strokes & Effects" checkbox is unchecked.

    With the checkbox checked, everything works as expected. However, users also need to scale an object while keeping the stroke unchanged, yet still achieving an exact target width or height (a common need for icon designers, for example).

    As you can see at the start of the video, the original size is 74.1971 pt in Transform Each. We then instruct it to become 50 pt, and the function confirms it has done so. But in reality:
    * The object's height, including the stroke, is not 50 pt.
    * The object's height, excluding the stroke, is also not 50 pt.

    For comparison, I later demonstrate a script that, with the "Scale Strokes & Effects" box unchecked, provides the expected precise height, based on either the visual or geometric bounds as an option.

16. More than 1 Placed Item that has been named loses name in 29.6.1

    Place 2 linked items. Rename each item in the layer panel to Item 1 and item 2. Save File as Template or Document. Reopen. Only the first name appears. The second appears as <Linked File>. Any others also are renamed to <Linked File>. This is crucial to automation of template files to replace linked files and needs to be fixed! Have no issues with 29.5

17. File names are broken on macOS scripts

    Bug reproduction:

    #target illustrator
    
    var file = File.openDialog("Select any file", "All files:*.*");
    var message = 'Results\nfile.name: "' + file.name + '"\nfile.displayName: "' + file.displayName + '"\nfile.localizedName: "' + file.localizedName + '"';
    alert(message);
    

    Save this as a script, run it in Illustrator on macOS and select any file.

    Expected outcome: An alert is displayed with all of the name attributes are populated
    Actual outcome: displayName and localizedName give empty string and undefined.

    Tested on macOS 15.7.1, Illustrator v29.8.2. Same script works on Windows 11.

    As per the original poster, anchor was outside the artboard.

19. Can't select linked png/bmp files when they have transparent backgrounds.

    Placing several linked BMP or PNG files with transparent backgrounds causes them to become randomly unselectable by clicking on them. You have to go to outline mode, find and select the edge of the image, or select with marquee tool and then carefully unselect the extra objects. Either way, it cannot be moved except to click on the edge of the images frame. This has been an issue for years. I think I may have even posted about it before, but can't find that now. IMO this is an issue that should be escalated as it such a basic operation that is broken. See the video below. This has been replicated by many others.

20. Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave

    Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
    Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!
