  1. Recovery opens Print.ai document profile instead of restoring a document after crash

    This has happened twice in the past few days, the first time Illustrator unexpectedly crashed and just now it froze and I had to force quit the program. Both times, when I reopen Illustrator it tells me it's recovered my file(s), shows the correct document name (like Untitled-3, etc) and I press OK. It then pulls up a document called Print.ai which is just a blank artboard, maybe something I made in the past and didn't use? I go to the folder on my computer where the recovered files are supposed to go, it will say the folder has been…

    Elizabeth, the team suspects that can be triggered by moving the original file to another folder while it’s still opened.

    Then, if Ai crashes, if can’t properly locate it and it leads to this exact problem.

    Does it sound like something that could have been the case?

  2. Version 2025 crashes more than usual and freezes when a pen used with tablet

    With the last update 2025 there have been crashes, more than usual, and when I use the pen and the graphic tablet, Illustrator freeze.

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you're facing. Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce it on our end. To help us investigate further, could you please provide the following details:

    • Wacom tablet configuration (model and driver version)
    • When you first noticed the issue
    • Is the issue consistently reproducible? (i.e., does it happen every time?)
    • Machine's OS and GPU specifications

    If possible, it would also be helpful if you could share a short recording of the issue, or let us know if you're available for a debug session. This will enable us to resolve the problem more promptly.

    We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to assisting you.


    Regards,

    Aishwarya G Gadodia

  3. SVG Save As 'SVG Code...' not same as marked up saved SVG. This now matches Export As SVG

    The content saved when you Save As... SVG is different in 28.5 to 28.3. When you click SVG Code... the text file preview matches that of the old version. Example file header:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.5.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 9.03 Build 54727) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    viewBox="0 0 2255 692" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2255 692;" xml:space="preserve">
    <style type="text/css">
    .st0{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    .st1{fill:#FFFFFF;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    </style>

    When you actually save this with OK it changes to :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 2255 692">
    <defs>
    <style>
    .cls-1 {…

    This change is intentional. The team aims to improve the way SVG is generated (speed, size, redundancy, etc.) and merge current both code branches into one.

    Since some workflows heavily rely on the way the code structure is organized, the team tries to gather feedback on it.

    Please describe what engine changes affect you and why.

  4. Struggling with Invisible Geometry when mapping a 3D object

    I’m having a trouble with this invisible geometry. It just doesn’t work for a cross object. Either I’m doing something wrong or I don’t know.

    A test file is needed along with full specs of your system, including GPU model and its driver’s version.

    Please share it in comments if you are OK with it, or send it to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case please put the link to this report in the body of the email for tracking purposes:

  5. Scrollbar breaks using stylus (windows/wacom)

    While I'm using a stylus, if I use the scrollbar, illustrator acts as if I haven't released from the scroll bar and continues to wildly scroll, and all other features including closing the program are inaccessible. This continues even if I tab out of the program and doesn't stop until I force quit illustrator.

  7. Uneven stroke widths using width tool

    Using width tool, stroke comes out uneven, even though system claims it is the same on both sides of the path. This only happens on one side of the stroke, not sure if it's at the beginning or end of the stroke. This only happens when width is adjusted at the very end of the stroke; adding a node just before the end of the stroke and adjusting that way functions properly.

  8. 特定のデータで印刷ができない

    あるデータで印刷をするとメーターが100%で止まってしまい、印刷ができません。
    しばらく待ってもプリンターが反応せず困っております。(プリンターダイヤログにも表示されません。)

    これ以外のデータは正常に印刷可能です。

    キャンセルを押すとフリーズしている様子もなく、普通に印刷キャンセルされます。
    新規ドキュメントを作成し、コピー貼り付けしてみましたが、それも同じ症状です。

    データ自体は他に比べ極端に重いデータでもなさそうです。(41956KB)

    また、他のPC環境でも試しましたがどのPCを使っても同じ症状で、
    そのデータの中の一部パスデータをラスタライズしたり、データ自体をPDF化すると印刷が可能でした。
    出来ればPDF化などせずに印刷をしたいです。
    何か解決方法がございましたらご教示をお願いいたします。

  9. PNG import broken

    Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)

  12. PDF export misses

    After performing "Save a copy" and choosing the PDF, the PDF created does not contain all the art of the artboard. It seems random with no consistency as to what is affected.

    - Sometimes ungrouping helps, 50%. Most often I have to delete the art and replace it.
    - Could even be the same art that appears on another page, so its not errors in the art.
    - Could be copy or vector work.
    - Does not matter if its save as smallest size or other size

    The team would need the test file you can reliably reproduce the problem, the steps to reproduce it, the exact OS specs and the version of Illustrator used. A video can also help to study the issue.

    If you can share the file publicly — please attach it in the comments. If if you are not allowed to do so or you do not want to make it public — you can send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com

  13. 細線に対する線幅プロファイルが正常に適用されない

    macOS10.15.7/ver.26.3.1

    再現手順
    1. 10mm程度の線分を描画する。
    2. 線幅を0.41mmに設定し、線幅プロファイルをアーチ状(デフォルトプリセットの6番目)のものを適用する。
    3. 歪んだ状態で適用される。パスのアウトラインを行うと歪んだ状態でアウトライン化される。

    期待する結果
    ver.25の様に適用した線幅プロファイルが正常に適用される。

    実際の結果
    細線では線幅プロファイルが正常に適用されない。
    また、過去のバージョンで作成されたデータではデータを開いただけでは正常な表示となりますが、編集作業の影響で形状が歪みます。これは付近のオブジェクト操作の影響によって生じる場合もあり危険です。線幅と長さの比率に相関関係がありそうですが現象の特定には至っておりません。

    以下のコミュニティページもご参照ください。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/線幅ツールで調整した十分な長さの線に対して-線幅を細くすると正しく表示されない/td-p/12956489

  16. PDF error "This file is damaged" in the new Illustrator 2023 (27.0)

    In Adobe Illustrator 2023 (27.0), when attempting to open a PDF in illustrator, I get an error message and the file does not open. The error reads "This file is damaged" with no extra context or solution. The file refuses to open.

    The same file WOULD open on the previous Adobe Illustrator 2022 (I believe 26.5), and I would receive an error message (The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted: An unknown shading type was encountered.) The file would then open, and then I could poke around the layers in order to get the vector shapes I needed…
