  1. Show Tints/Shades menu issue

    Show Tints/Shades menu in color guide does not allow to select a color on a first click, most of times you have to click several times to select the color, and on my Cintiq 13 Companion it is almost impossible to do it with the stilus.

  2. Embeded image in symbol

    I am using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018.

    I am using a symbol that has an embedded image in it. When I re-link the image and embed the new image it does not stay when the symbol is exited. The symbol will also not allow me to delete the embedded image.

    In previous versions of Illustrator once the image is embedded and the symbol exited, the image remains and is placed across all the symbols.

    I am closing the ticket due to lack of response.
    Please get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels – helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Please give a reference to this post so that we can identify you.

    Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

  4. some objects wont print

    I am running illustrator CC 2018 on windows 8.1
    When I print certain files certain objects will not print. I have attached an example of the result. When I print black and white it works. Another person in our company with the same update and similar computer is able to print with no problem. I was printing the same file fine before I updated to the 2018 version two days ago.

  6. Since updating Illustrator to CC 2018 it runs worse than before

    Illustrator lags, it crashes. Creative Cloud sucks. Looking to switch over to CorelDraw. That's all I have to say. I'm annoyed and frustrated with Adobe since switching to CC.

  8. Jagged edges and ghost dashed lines when exporting

    When exporting a dashboard to jpg or png some gohst white/yellowish outlines appear.
    I use plain color without outlines but the outlines appear while zooming in the screen and when I export the artwork. The problem seems to be related to black color

    Also, I used a plain dark red and it is exported as stripped lines fill .

    I attach examples of exported images. They were exported with the best quality. I updated the software today (november the 2nd 2017)

  9. Name layer pop up panel appears twice

    On macOS 10.12.6, working with a Wacom. If you double-click on a layer to rename it and the panel pops up to rename, clicking OK doesn't get rid of the panel. It re-appears a second time.

  11. Zoom options in View menu items have completely wrong labels

    There's an absolutely bizarre off-by-two error in the View menu in Illustrator CC 22.0 that I just noticed while working on something today.

    When initially starting Illustrator CC 22.0, the "Fit All in Window" and "Actual Size" items in the View menu have the correct labels (see attachment zoomoptscorrect.png). However, once a file has been opened, these menu items are assigned completely wrong labels, which should belong to the items two spaces lower in the menu — "Hide Edges" and "Hide Artboards", respectively (see zoomoptswrong.png).

  13. ワードで作ったPDFをイラレCCに配置して新たにPDFを作ることが出来なくなった。

    以前はワードで作ったPDFをイラレCCに配置し、トンボを付けて新たにPDFを作ると言う作業を出来ていましたが、
    最近バージョンアップ後?上記の様な作業を行ったところ、PDFはできるのですが、一部のみ表示され後は空白といったPDFが作られました。
    他のアクロバットリーダーのみの端末で出来たPDFを開いたところ「このページにはエラーがあります。Acrobatはページを正しく表示できない場合があります。PDF文書の製作者に連絡し て問題を解決してください」とメッセージでます。
    また、以前のバージョンで作成したところ作成出来ました。

  14. The latest updates

    I've missed advert deadlines, because even though I'm on the newest Macbook pro, Photoshop and Illustrator have been dysfuntional, with artboards glitching, font sizes not being adjustable and glitching to the maximum size before telling me the font's too big.

    On top of this, the work often dissapears when zooming in and fonts do not sync with your type app.

    So I pay money for a subscription because you are industry standard, yet I've now missed deadlines, been hung up on three times by your support staff and failed to receive confirmation that you are at least attempting to solve…

  15. 環境設定の変更が反映されなくなった

    バージョン21.1.0

    環境設定を変更した際に設定が反映されなくなりました。
    ・一般/キー入力の単位と角度の制限
    ・単位/一般と線
    の設定を変えていたところ起きた事態です。

    線を描画する際に何度か角度を変える必要がありましたので、15分間くらいのうちに何回か設定の変更をしましたところ、途中から反映されなくなりました。
    (角度の固定を30度や45度や0度に変更していたところ、0度にしても30度で固定されたままになりました)

    Illustratorを再起動したところ、解決しました。

  16. Issue when typing in the font name field to find a font

    v. 22.0.0
    iMac 2017 on High Sierra

    I use English and Greek keyboards on my Mac.

    Very often I start typing in the Fonts field to find a specific font.
    If the keyboard is set to Greek when I start typing, I delete anything I have typed, use the keyboard shortcut and start again.

    The bug is that the shortcut to switch keyboard language doesn't work while I am doing this.

    I have to grab the mouse and go on the Mac's menu bar and do it there, then go back in illustrator and start typing again.
