1. PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025

   ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
   Hello everyone,
   I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
   System: macOS 15.6.1
   Apple M1 Max
   64 GB
   The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
   The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
   When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
   I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM, graphics card, or potential file corruption?
   At this stage, I have not yet collected any files from users who did not think to make a copy of the affected files. I only have screenshots.
   Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be welcome.

   Thanks for your help !

2. 拡大縮小

   バージョン30.0で拡大縮小ツールで「パターンの変形」のみを行おうとした際、ダイアログ上で「オブジェクトの変形」「パターンの変形」の両方のチェックが入った状態（もしくはオブジェクトの変形からパターンの変形に変更）から、「オブジェクトの変形」のチェックを外して「パターンの変形」のチェックのみにして実行するとパターンの変形が何度やっても実行されない。（最初から「パターンの変形」のみにチェックが入っていた場合のみパターンの変形が実行される）
   場合によっては、その後のオブジェクトの拡大縮小も挙動がおかしくなるので再起動が必要になる。
   なお、他の変形ツールに関しては未確認。

3. Color changes (and other things) do not change until I click on the page somewhere in Illustrator 2026

   As in the title. I cannot see the changes I've made (fill color, stroke color, or fill/stroke flip) until I click on the page. Also after working on a file for some time, the "info" data stops working. i.e. the height and width (of an object) show zero instead of a number value. Restarting the app fixes it, but only temporarily.

   Note: these same things are happening on 2 (completely different computers). One is a high-powered Alienware Area 51 desktop, the other is a high-powered Dell.

5. Variable Google Fonts reset to minimum weight on file open in Illustrator

   Issue Description:

   When opening files in Adobe Illustrator, the program incorrectly handles Google Fonts variable families that use floating weight values (variable wght axis). All text elements that were assigned specific weight values (e.g., 400, 500, 600) are automatically reset to the minimum weight value after reopening the file. As a result, all text switches to the thinnest available style in the variable font.

   Expected Behavior:

   Illustrator should correctly save and restore the numeric values of variable font axes (in this case, the wght axis) and display text exactly with the weight settings assigned before saving.

   Actual Behavior:

   After reopening the document, all text objects using Google variable fonts lose their assigned weight values and revert to the lowest/minimal value of the wght axis. Visually this appears as if all text changes to the “thin” style of the family.
   This breaks the typographic hierarchy and causes layout shifts, making the file unusable without manual correction.

   Steps to Reproduce:

   • Latest Illustrator release (Windows).
   • Use any Google Fonts variable family (e.g., with a wght axis).
   • Assign different weight values within the same variable family to text objects.
   • Save the file, close it, then reopen it.
   • All weights revert to the minimum value.

   Impact:

   The design opens with damaged typography. All weight settings must be restored manually, which is time-consuming and may cause inconsistencies or visual artifacts.

6. Toggle Visibility Not Working in Layers Panel

   Windows 11 desktop, 12 GB graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Intel processor with 3.60 GHz, 64 Bit x64-based processor
   29.7.1 (64 bit)
   I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.

   I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.

   My document is saved to the cloud - I did get an autosave is temporarily disabled warning and I get a plugin conflict message when I open AI - I have no plugins active in Ai that I can find in the Preferences settings. The plugin warning is for LogiOptionAi2020.aip

   The screenshots show that the background doesn't change even when I toggle the layers on or off. This problem only happens with the one layer- the top ones I have toggled off and when I toggle them back on they show up.

8. Only Object Outlines visible

   I was creating a figure for research and suddenly, only the outlines were visible. I am not sure if this is a rendering issue or if I am in a different viewing mode. Help is appreciated.

11. 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)

12. 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.

13. 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.

16. 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.

17. Can’t edit colors in a selection

    When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

19. Exporting PDFs makes a single file instead of many for each artboard

    I am experiencing an issue exporting PDFS under export for screens. I have 2 artboards which I have named, but when I export it only exports 1 artwork and names the PDF the actual file name instead of the artboard name. Other file types, png, jpg, etc seem to be working but not PDFs.
