Illustrator sometimes reports the font is not installed but then finds it on its own
Boa tarde, há uns dias abri um documento que dizia que o tipo de letra estava ausente e hoje ao abrir dizia que já tinha o tipo de letra utilizado naquele texto. Sendo que não instalei a fonte nem passei nenhuma ficheiro da mesma de um pc para o outro, podem dizer-me se isto é normal ou se há algum bug no vosso programa?

Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.

Acrobat PDF File Format error when saving .AI documents. The size of the passed callbacks struct is wrong.
Illustrator 30.0 (64 bit.) windows 11 recently loaded then I updated to 30.0. since then 99 % of the time I open my current .AI files to update them and save them, I receive this error which I can't fix. The only way to bypass it is the save to the downloads folder and then over write the original unsaved file with the new version. This is affecting my production time, so it is quite urgent. It could be a setting but as I don't understand the message I can't fix it.

Quit making fonts unavailable (Neuropol)
Almost every time that I open my menus and logos the fonts that I use are no longer available. I used the same Neuropol font for my menus and logos for 14 years before going to the cloud-based software. Since going to cloud based software I have had to resolve the missing Neuropol font to a slightly different variation at least 4 or 5 times. Not only is it annoying and time consuming, it is causing inconsistencies in my brand, and with this current update, it does not work at all.

Unidentified dash / gap values get shown as zeroes
Make a simple test (as demonstrated in the attached GIF).
Make sure you test this after relaunching Illustrator.
Open Preferences > Units and make sure you have all three parameters (General, Stroke, Type) set to Points.A. Create a new document based on Web document profile
B. Create a simple rectangle
C. In the Stroke panel enable Dashed Line optionThe first 'dash' value would be 12 pt (or somethin else if you general units are not points), and the rest of the fields would be empty, undefined. It means Illustrator uses the same 12 pt for the gap.

12 votesSeems like it was fixed in both PreRelease build 30.5.0.160 and Beta build 30.6.0.27. The values are no longer forced to be zeroes, and only the first input gets the default value, as expected.
Please update and test if it works as it should.

Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only
This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:
Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)
OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)
Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)
For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.
Basically:
When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it…

There is a delay and lag when copying in Adobe Illustrator 2025 29.5.141
When using Adobe Illustrator 2025, there is a delay and lag when copying. When performing a Ctrl+C copy of graphics or text, or when manually dragging, there is a delay and lag in the response, and the copy does not appear immediately. If a zoom operation is performed during a Ctrl+C copy, the delay and lag become even more pronounced.

Text Converted to Outlines Upon Copy in 2026 with Keyboard Maestro Installed
Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.0)
macOS Sequoia 15.7.1
Keyboard Maestro 11.0.4When copying a live text object in Adobe Illustrator 2026 (point type, area type, type on a path objects), pasting with CMD+V or Edit > Paste converts the text into outlines when Keyboard Maestro Mac automation software is running.
Quitting Keyboard Maestro Engine stops the behavior so that copying and pasting gives live text in the pasted object.
Disabling com.adobe.svg as a clipboard copy flavor also fixes the problem, allowing copy and paste to preserve live text instead of creating outlines.
This problem does not occur in Illustrator 2025 (29.8.3)…

PDF Export for Screens saving full document even thought multiple files selected
When you 'Export for Screens' as a range or tick certain artboards to export as PDF. These exported PDFs opens the full document rather than just the selected artboard. This happens when you open an exported PDF artboard in Illustrator 2026, but if you open it in 2025 version it opens as it should.

Missing fonts are no longer highlighted when file opens
Quand j'ouvre un fichier et que je n'ai pas la police ouverte, avant j'avais le texte en surbrillance ce qui permettait de voir où la police était manquante.
Maintenat j'ai bien la fen^tre qui s'ouvre me disant que la police est manquante, mais je ne vois pas où ?When I open a file and I don't have the font open, I used to have the text highlighted, which allowed me to see where the font was missing.
Now I have the window that opens telling me that the font is missing, but I can't see where it is.2 votes -
Applying a material to an extruded object says it’s not enough RAM
I apparently don't have enough RAM to do this. I'm trying to add a material to the border of the left file, it's a fill not a stoke... I have 96GB of RAM.... I am apparently using 26GB of memory. 70 Gb of RAM Should really be enough for almost anything I would think. Please let me know if there's a way I can use these tools if not I'll have to go back to my client and say "Adobe can't do it" once again.

Command+V not working in Pantone Connect
I just had an automatic update for Illustrator version [30.0], and since then, copying the hex code and pasting with shortcut Command+V is not working in the Pantone Connect extension. It seems that it is working with a right click of the mouse, but does anyone have an idea why the shortcut is not working anymore, as this was way faster?
I'm on Apple M4 Pro 24GB Version 15.6.1 (24G90).1 vote -
Switching keyboard layout with Win32 API message hangs Illustrator.
When I switch the keyboard layout to non-English, using the Win32 API SendMessage/PostMessage WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST (0x50), Illustrator crashes.
15 votesThis problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.
However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:
- Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
- Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
- Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.
Comment back if the bug still persists for you.
