  1. Line width tool issues

    When changing the line width with the "Width Tool", it creates little triangles in the line and distorts all the corners.

  2. Illustrator selecting Folder name and renaming file when saving into Folder

    When saving an Illustrator file - and InDesign also - I click the name of the folder that file is to go into and the filename changes to that folder's name. Why is this happening? Why was this not found when debugging these very expensive applications before throwing them at subscribers and hoping they will work? Really not professional. We pay far too much money for stupid things like this to happen. Needs to be fixed immediately. InDesign also.

  3. "Corner" anchor points become smooth when joining active Curvature Tool line

    Create a line that contains a corner (any tool).
    Begin drawing a second line with the Curvature Tool.
    As part of your new Curvature Tool line, click either end of the first line.

    This causes a conversion of corner points to smooth points.

    I posted this issue on stack exchange (see link below) and was told this was a bug. It certainly wouldn't make sense as a feature, so that seems like a legitimate conclusion.

  4. 別名保存後にJPG書き出しした際、JPGのタイトルが別名保存前の名称になる

    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    macOS Catalina 15.7
    Illustrator 26.0.3(2022)

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1 aiデータを開く(ファイル名 1.ai)
    2 別名保存する(ファイル名 2.ai)
    3 JPG書き出しをする(ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式→ファイル形式:JPG)
    4 保存されたJPGをFinderの「情報を見る」で情報を開く

    想定していた結果
    ファイル名、タイトル共に「2」となる

    実際の結果
    タイトルが別名保存する前の名前「1」となる

    業務のワークフローで、
    aiデータをJPG書き出し→フォトショップのドロップレットでPDF変換→
    PDFにキーワードをタグとして付与しフォルダに集める→必要な時にFinder上で検索
    という手順を行っています。

    PDFにする際、JPGのタイトルがそのままPDFのタイトルとなるようで、検索の際にタイトルでもヒットするため関係ないファイルも検索されてしまい困っています。Acrobatでタイトルの変更ができますが、ファイルの最終更新日時が変わってしまうので可能な限り避けたいです。

    数年前から同じような現象が起きているので、以前のバージョンから発生しているかもしれません。

    よろしくお願いします。

    Ilustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。


    OS でのファイル情報の「詳細情報」は、ファイルのメタデータのタイトルが参照されます

    Illustrator では「ファイル > ファイル情報...」メニューを選択し、ファイルのメタデータを設定変更できます。


    書き出しファイルにも、このメタデータが使用されますので、Illustrator の「ファイル情報」メニューで変更したメタデータのタイトルが、OS のファイル情報の詳細情報に反映されるかご確認ください。

  5. Changing Color panel option can’t be recorded as an action

    Changing Color panel options can’t be recorded as an action
    When you record Color panel menu options in actions (Web color, Invert, Complement), the color gets changed to white instead.

  7. Offset path preview not working

    Offset path not working 1 in 20 cases. When I type a word, expand it and then try to create an offset path, I cannot turn the preview of the offset path. When this happens and I confirm the offset path, I cannot ungroup the the original text and the offset path. When I try to ungroup it, the text becomes the original again. It is very frustrating. I've tried to turn of the GPU preview, I have turned off my mac several times and I have reinstalled the Illustrator itself. Nothing seems to work. I used the offset path…

  8. When using optical type feature, since the update it displays the type as if it has no spaces?

    Running version 25.3 on illustrator.

    16.21 indesign.

    Since updating me and a few people i know who also use the software across indesign and illustrator have seen when using the optical type feature, it displays the type as if it has no spaces? Type treatment is thrown off to what is traditionally correct. Please fix this! This will have a massive knock on affect with branding agencies if rules are changing regarding such simple things.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.4.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  10. Illustrator is incompatible with Windows 11 sleep mode

    My Windows 11 laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360) heats up and excessively drains battery when Illustrator is open and the laptop has been put into sleep mode. My laptop heats up even more while been plugged in and in "sleep mode" with illustrator open. These issues has forced me to use the hibernation mode for example during commuting.

  11. Space + drag navigation bug after sleep on M1

    The space + drag navigation stops working in almost all Adobe programs after I wake up my M1 Macbook Pro from sleep on macOS 11.5.2. So I have to restart the system.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

  12. Unexpected font change

    I translate a physics book in Greek and now i translate the EPS figures content from English to Greek using Illustrator (the last updated version under Windows 10). The english text uses fonts Times Ten Std. I noticed that when i start typing the corresponding Greek text to substitute the english one, the currently selected font, changes to Myriad Pro and the appearance of the greek text is quite different. Is is possible to solve this issue?

  13. Rotate polygon with 3 sides (triangle)

    (A) If I create a polygon with only 3 sides (triangle), then it has a centre that corresponds to a circle around the triangle.
    (B) If I rotate the triangle by 90° with the Rotate tool, the centre of the circumcircle is used. That is correct.

    (C) If I rotate the same triangle by 90° with the menu command "Object > Transform > Rotate", then suddenly the centre of the bounding box is used as the centre of rotation. This is wrong in my eyes. Also, this new centre point remains.

  14. 中間色のあるグラデーションのあるPDFが正しく読み込めず色情報が消えてしまいます

    中間色がなければ正しく読み込めます。
    問題のPDFはインデザイン等で長方形を設定し塗りのグラデーションで中間色を設定すれば作成でき、PDFにエクスポートできます。
    編集をしたいので、"配置(Place)"以外の方法で解決したいです。

    t.takizawa 様、


    追加情報をありがとうございました。

    InDesign でグラデーションバーの100%の位置にカラーストップがセットされていない場合に、Illustrator で PDF を開いた時にグラデーションのカラーが消えてしまうようです。

    今後、開発に進捗がありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。

    よろしくお願いいたします。

  16. Custom guides make Illustrator unusable when viewed as dots

    I've made guides out of a large number of lines (forming an iso grid). This works fine as long as I am viewing the guides as lines, but when changing the view to Dots in settings, Illustrator get so slow that I can't even move around in the document. I am using Windows 10 version 26.1. I also have v25.4.1 installed and it is the same thing there.

    Maybe it would be less performance demanding if we could set transparancy on guides instead of using dots?

  17. Mising Anchor Points not sure why

    I am running the latest version of Illustrator CC from my Windows 10 PC. It is a project that I have been working on, both my computer and on my Ipad. I don't know if it is that I recently added materials from Substance on the computer, used the 3D options, then went to make changes on the Ipad later on, but now opening the document on the computer again, I am not getting any anchor points when using the direct selection tool. I checked all my preferences, then I opened a file saved to my computer, and the anchor…

  18. Can't open AI files until I delete settings

    Every time I try to open a file, I get the beach ball of death...spinning forever.
    I've discovered the only way to get illustrator (beta or release versions) to open a file again is to delete the settings in the Library and restart AI

  19. Find/Replace issue

    The Find/Replace function is not replacing the string I am requesting. Maybe one or two items of many will change.

    We work with hundreds of serial numbers at a time, and the working function is
    essential to timely delivery of our services. We depend on this to change several serial prefixes at a time. Now I have to individually change each single serial number manually instead of just Finding/Replacing the prefix.
    What is going on with this product? I've never had so many glitches to deal with until this product (latest version) went to Cloud. Please, please let us go…

  20. Crashes break CC linked assets in Recovered file.

    When Illustrator 26.2.1 on Win10 Pro 21H2 crashes, CC-linked files are always broken in the recovered file. Please allow recovery files to remember the CC assets we so carefully curate and use daily - otherwise, we need to always embed external drawings (which sucks). Thanks!
