  1. 'Share a review link to your file' advertisement dialog still pops when disabled

    Sometimes, when I save a PDF file (at least in Illustrator Beta), I get this dialog.
    I would like to see it go away forever.

    It pops up in the most inopportune moment — when I already decided to save a PDF and when I need to SAVE my data, and not to TRY something new. 'Come not between a user and his saved data'. Saving a file is an emergency operation — always, each time — JUST DON’T INTERFERE.

    Even though I already chose to never see it again, I still get it. Just use 1KB of your Cloud…

  6. Image resolution differs depending on image orientation

    When placing an image in Illustrator, the image format is HEIC, and in portrait mode or landscape: The landscape picture shows the amount of ppi as 1 logical number. The portrait mode picture shows 2 numbers for ppi, and they are totally different.

  10. "Load paragraph styles" or "Load all styles" doesn't overwrite styles with same name

    I have a set of 9 template files that I need to update. Each file contains an identical set of about a dozen paragraph styles. I want to update all the paragraph styles in all of the files.
    I updated the styles in the first file (correctstyles.ai) and changed kerning from Auto to Optical. When I open the next file, (e.g. SHED-2023-5-simple-columns-narrow.ai), I use "Load Para Styles" and choose the first file (correctstyles.ai). When I check the style definitions, kerning is still set to Auto. The kerning value should have changed to Optical to match the style from…

  11. Blank PNG export

    Files exported as pngs in the newest version of illustrator are coming up as blank and will export as 0 bytes. This is happening on desktop and laptop for Mac, unsure if happening on PC/Windows.

  12. 3D Extrude & Bevel

    I've been working with some of my previous design clients and noticed that when I add the extrude and bevel to a rectangle shape and I choose the draw hidden faces function it just don't show up when I do the expand appearance. I tried to edit by going back to the appearance panel and deactivate and then reactivate it then it worked. Has anyone got this before or it's only me ?

  13. Illustrator often fails to build a smooth blend for paths with mismatched number of anchors

    Take a look at the file attached and watch the images attached.
    Two curves are blended: one has 4 anchors, another one has 5 anchors.
    The blend Ai build has weird irregular slits in the middle.

    If you expand the blend and select problematic anchors, you’ll see that positions are correct, but some handles get interpolated wrongly.

    This happens often in many other scenarios.
    The current workaround is to add more points to blend, trying to guess and control which point get paired with another.
    Another workaround is to cut curves in pieces and blend in chunks.

  14. First colour value should be highlighted by default

    When SHIFT-clicking the colour swatch to bring up the Alternate Colour UI, the first selectable value should be automatically highlighted so that I can type a value in without having to first focus on the entry field with either a mouse click of by hit the TAB key.

    A near identical request as this one I recall from a while back:

    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/36064045-rotate-dialog-box-should-have-value-highlighted-by

    The UI should operate this way by default for any pop-up type dialog/panel.

  15. Artboard not sizing correctly

    This issue continues happening. I am attaching 2 screenshots showing the issue. Image 1 shows the top right corner of the artboard when I "fit to page." Image 2 shows the artboard after I've zoomed out once. The edge of the artboard moves in, but visually, the white part of the artboard doesn't move.

  16. ファイル保存時のオプションダイアログの位置が保持されない Save dialog gets shifted left each time

    macOS10.15,7
    IlklustratorCC ver 26.5.1

    ファイル保存時にファイル名を指定した後オプション設定画面が開きますが、このダイアログの位置が保存を繰り返すたびに左に移動します。最終的には半分見切れる状態となり、設定を行う為にダイアログウインドウ自体をマウスで移動させる必要があります。

    再現方法
    1.ファイルを作成する。
    2.「ファイル→保存」でファイル名を任意に指定し、保存ボタンをクリック。
    3.従来のオプションダイアログは表示領域の中央に表示されましたが表示位置が左にずれています。
    4.1〜3を繰り返すと、最終的には半分見切れる状態まで移動してしまいます。

    期待する動作
    従来のバージョンの様にダイアログの位置が意図に反して動かない。

    現状の結果
    ダイアログが保存するたびに移動し、見切れてしまう。

    対応策
    ダイアログをマウスでドラッグして位置を戻す。

  17. Illustrator freezes after computer date changes several times.

    Illustrator stops responding when the computer's date has changed. Photoshop and Indesign work well.

  18. Objects missing when save as pdf

    When I want to save the file as a pdf, various elements are missing in the exported file. These are mainly rectangles that are filled with a color gradient.
    I have already tried various export formats, but the problem only occurs with pdf exports, regardless of which pdf format I use. I have not found any errors within the export settings as I have not changed the process before.

  19. Hands-on Tutorials steps images gone

    Illustrator 28.5, on a Mac. The step-by-step images in the hands-on tutorials are gone, at least in the Branding and Identity Practice ones. You can't follow along and create something "as shown" if it's not shown! Please put the images back in these tutorials where they indicate to do it like in the (invisible) image, they were very helpful. It's not really possible to do the steps if you don't know what you're supposed to be doing.
