  2. Keyboard Increment field in Preferences no longer gets focused when dialog opens, new Search field does

    Unrequested extra Search function in the Preferences window in update 29.7
    I (and many others) were eagerly awaiting the update because the jumping fonts were a nightmare on the production floor! But who asked for an extra search function in the preferences window? Now I have to press Tab 4 times before I can quickly adjust my Keyboard Increment. As an artworker, I use this function about 10 times a day, so that's an extra 40 times pressing Tab (approximately 800 times a month)... why, why, why?

  3. Compatibility Issue in Illustrator v30.2 - PostScript Error <a1a1>

    Critical Update: This issue is not limited to specific files. Every single file saved or exported from version 30.2 encounters the same <a1a1> error, even when the document contains only a simple primitive shape (e.g., a single rectangle). This indicates a systemic failure in the PostScript generation engine of the v30.2 build on my system.

    Description
    Since updating to Adobe Illustrator v30.2, I have encountered a critical compatibility issue. Even when saving files for lower versions (Legacy formats), recipients are unable to open them. The files trigger a specific PostScript error regardless of how simple the vector data is. This…

  4. GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below

    I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:

    1. Create a simple circle.
    2. Create a simple rectangle.
    3. Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
    4. Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).

    Result:
    The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).

    Additional Notes:

    The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
    Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.
    Changing the color profile or color…

  5. Object appearance defaults when selecting new colors (white fill, black stroke)

    When selecting a new color swatch value from the menu (see image) often times when the document has first been opened or an object has not been selected during this session, any selected objects revert to the default appearance - 1 pt outline, black stroke, white fill - regardless of what they were before. Then you have to undo what happened and try again to apply your changes. It's a minor inconvenience, but it only showed up in the last 3 updates. A clean install doesn't fix this issue. This can happen just a single time, or multiple times with…

  6. Em dash incorrectly rotates upright in vertical text layout

    Illustrator 2025 (29.8.1) (29.8.2) Japanese

    Em dashes are Latin characters, so in vertical text layout they should be rotated sideways like other alphanumeric characters.
    However, in v29.8.2, Em dashes are rotated upright like Japanese characters. This is clearly a bug.


    EMダッシュが縦組みで正立回転する

    EMダッシュは欧文の文字なので、縦組みでは他の英数字を同じく横倒しになります。
    しかし、v29.8.2では、和文の文字のように正立回転してしまいます。これは明らかにバグです。

  7. Placing Illustrator file in InDesign

    Placing files with bleeds create in Illustrator 30.1 and 29.8.4 moves the artwork down-left without respecting the bleeds.
    Illustrator 29.5 works correctly.

  8. New fonts don't load upon installation

    Somehow, the new Adobe Illustrator updates prevent manually installed fonts from loading. These are fonts that aren't available in Adobe Fonts. So I have to install them manually. Because of this, I have to restart Illustrator so I can use the font. There's no problem when activating fonts on Adobe Fonts. Is there a workaround for this?

  9. PDF/X-4で書き出す際にダウンサンプルされる

    macOS14.7.2/Imac27inch i5/32GB mem/1TB ssd
    Illustrator ver29.5

    再現手順
    1.800ppiのモノクロ2開帳の画像をドキュメントに原寸で配置する。
    2.ファイル→コピーを保存を実行、PDF形式を選択し次のダイアログでプリセット「PDF/X-4:2008(日本)」を選択して保存する。
    3.PDFを開いて配置した画像を調べると300ppiにダウンサンプルされている。

    期待する結果
    800ppiのままダウンサンプルされずに保存される。

    実際の結果
    配置したビットマップ画像は300ppiにダウンサンプルされる。

    このプリセットでは実行解像度が1800ppiを超えた際に1200ppiにダウンサンプルされるように設定されている。配置状態で800ppiの画像はダウンサンプルの条件に当てはまらない為ダウンサンプルされてはいけない。
    また、300ppiという数値はモノクロビットマップ画像を取り扱うには致命的に低い解像度と言える。

    回避方法
    ビルトインのPDF/X-4プリセットは利用せず、同等のプリセットを自身で作成して利用する。その他、プリプレス関連メーカーが配布するPDF/X-4プリセットを利用しても良い。

    EN
    Step to reproduce
    1. Place an 800ppi monochrome bitmap image in the document in its original size.
    2. Select File→Save a copy, choose PDF format, and in the next dialog, select the preset "PDF/X-4:2008 (日本)" and save the file.
    3. Open the PDF file in Acrobat and check the placed image to find that it has been downsampled to 300ppi.

    Expected result
    The image is saved without being downsampled to 800ppi.

    Actual result
    The placed bitmap image is downsampled to 300ppi.

  10. Hitting Down with an artboard selected in Artboards panel now moves it on canvas instead of in the list

    In the newest update, if I have an artboard highlighted in the panel and I hit the down arrow, it used to go down the artboard list. But now it nudges the actual artboard.
    I acknowledge that nudging artboards could maybe be useful for something (though I can't think of what) but being able to navigate the list with arrows is much more valuable in my opinion.

  11. Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool

    Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.

    This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

  12. Font styles applied to portions of text 'slide' / shift positions when area type overflows

    Illustrator 29.7.1 on Mac Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)

    I dont' know whether it's related to this current issue, but now I have parts of my text that change appearance when I'm trying to change the Font weight of another part, or when I try to type more text.

    The workaround I have found it copy-pasting the text into a new Textbox. But still, this needs to be fixed.

  13. プレビュー用のPDFの文字が化けました

    macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
    Adobe Illustrator v29.7.1
    他社で作成されたCentury Gothic Regular が使われているIllustratorドキュメント(作成バージョンは29.7)を開いて修正して保存した。
    このデータはInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置されていた。
    InDesignドキュメントの表示の、Century Gothicの数字が異なる数字になっていた。
    1→3、0→2 のように。
    修正した環境にはCentury Gothicがインストールされていない。Font Bookに表示されない。
    が、Illustratorはフォントエラーを表示することなく、開いた。
    PDFを書き出すと、正常に表示される。
    プレビューのPDFのみ化けている。
    その後、調べてみると、Illustrator内では「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」が使用されていることがわかった。
    また、Illustrator v28.7.9ではプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
    さらに、「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」を適当なFontsフォルダにインストールすると、Illustrator v29.7.1でもプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
    コミュニティの記述にv29.2.1までダウンバージョンすると様々なバグが回避できるとあったので、ダウンバージョンしてみたが、やはり化ける。
    v29.0までダウンバージョンしてみたが、全て化けた。
    再現方法としては、
    1. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダに入れる
    2. Illustratorでドキュメントを新規作成
    3. 数字を入力
    4. 書体をCentury Gothic Regularにする
    5. 保存して閉じる
    6. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダから外す
    7. 5.のドキュメントを開く
    8. 修正して保存(または別名保存)
    以上を、各バージョンのIllustratorで実行。
    InDesignに貼り付けるまでもなく、Finderのプレビューで確認できる。

    修正は最新の30.3一般リリースに反映されています。アップデート後、問題が解消されているか確認し、引き続き問題が発生する場合はご報告ください。

    開発チームによると、macOS版Illustratorのフォント処理方法を変更し、一貫性を向上させ、サポートされていないシステムリソースへの依存度を低減したとのことです。その結果、Appleのガイドラインに従い、Illustrator 30.3以降ではシステムフォントが使用できなくなります。

    The fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

    According to the team, they changed font handling in Illustrator on macOS for better consistency and reduced reliance on unsupported system resources. As a result, system fonts won’t be accessible in Illustrator 30.3 and later, according to the Apple’s guidelines.

  14. Blending modes inside groups does not work

    When an object is part of a group nothing from the transparency settings is working. Selected object in the screenshot is set to Multiply and it appears as Normal.

  15. Images embedded disappear after reopening the file 2025

    This problem has been occurring for a few weeks: when I reopen a file containing embedded images, they disappear, turn white, or turn the original image color.

    In 15 years of using ILLUSTRATOR, this has never happened, and it's truly annoying. Some files contain more than 50 images, and if a small one disappears, it's unmanageable.

    The strange thing is that it doesn't happen with all files; it's random.

    I'm working with Illustrator 30.0, but the same thing happened with 29.8.3.

    Looking through various forums, you may already be aware of this problem.

    Please fix it, as we pay a…

  17. Renaming an artboard in Artboards panel scrolls to have the item on top

    The way it works in the newest update is infuriating.
    In the newest update, when I change the name of an artboard in the Artboards panel, the panel automatically scrolls to have that item at the top. I keep losing my place in the Artboards panel and I can't keep track of what I'm doing. I don't see a benefit of the list jumping around all the time. It's horrific to work with.

  18. Blue share circle is misplaced under the icon

    This blue circle is very distracting and It just looks super weird. I don't know if you guys purposely did this or if it's a UI glitch with the latest update, but if you guys can get this fixed asap it would be helpful. It's SUPER distracting while trying to focus in on work.

  19. Text copied from web paste white but swatch says its black

    Since version 30.1 anytime i paste text into a file, the text will past white instead of black like it use too. All swatch areas say it is black but the text will be white. This has gotten pretty annoying because everytime i paste in text i have to change the color of it.
