  1. Fatal Error in Illustrator Version 30.5.1

    OS:win 10
    Illustrator Version 30.5.1

    This version corrupts groups and symbol objects within files, causing irreversible errors.

    Before saving, there were no operational issues with the file. However, when reopening the same file for unknown reasons, more than 90% of the text content became scrambled, the layout was severely disrupted, and the images and text contained within symbol objects were randomly grouped together with other unrelated objects. These changes could not be reversed or restored.

  4. Cancelling the Print progress dialog leaves document unsaveable — Cmd+S silently no-ops (Illustrator 30.5.1 / macOS 26)

    Cancelling Illustrator's Print dialog before the print job finishes leaves the
    active document in a partially-locked state ("limbo"): the canvas still responds to
    interaction (you can pan/move the artwork), but File → Save / Cmd+S silently does
    nothing
    — no save dialog, no write, no error. The document cannot be saved through
    the normal UI and must be recovered through scripting or force-quit + data recovery.

    In the observed case the affected document had never been saved to disk, so all work existed only in memory. A user who trusts Cmd+S (which reports no error) can lose everything if the…

  5. agregar muestras en la ventana de texto

    que la ventana de texto incorpore el poder pintar una palabra seleccionada sin tener que ir al panel de muestras ya que al hacerlo se debe volver a seleccionar la palabra, asi seria mas rapido para la contrucion de logos o titulos poder desde la misma ventana de texto, pintar la palabra, cambiarle la tipografía, etc.

  6. Blend menu options not available when blend objects are selected (MacOS)(Illustrator 30.5.1)

    I've created a couple of Blend objects in Adobe Illustrator. When I attempt to expand those blends into individual vector objects via the Object/Blend menu, all the options in the menu are greyed out. Despite the blend being selected , not double-clicked into (not in isolation mode) or any other object being selected.

  9. Saving as SVG changed in 30.5.1 and no longer respects artboard

    Beginning with version 30.5.1 (apparently), the full size of the artboard is no longer used when saving to SVG, but instead the bounds are reduced to fit the artwork. This is breaking my workflow with tools used downstream where I need the fixed sized artboard that I'm using. I reverted to version 30.4, and the problem went away.

  11. Incorrect command names in Exporting Icons tutorial

    For the Illustrator tutorial: Exporting icons
    In the instructions it says Hide Rulers but it should be Show Rulers
    Also in the instructions it says Unlock Guides but it should say Lock Guides.
    With tutorials in general need to specify the Workspace because some workspaces offer different options than others and can be missing when doing a tutorial.

    I use Windows Pro 11, Illustrator 30.5.1

  12. New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines

    This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)

    Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

  15. Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later: The bottom of PSD files appears black when placed

    In Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later, when placing CMYK PSD files (containing only a background with no layers), the bottom of the image turns black and the image does not display if the file size exceeds a certain pixel threshold.
    Testing shows that data exceeding approximately 24,000 x 24,000 pixels (over 2 GB) results in the portion exceeding that size appearing black. Even when exported to PDF, the black area remains.
    Additionally, the thumbnails in the Links panel and when selected also appear black.

    Data created in previous versions that worked fine also displays a black bottom on linked…

  16. ショートカット設定が起動のたびに初期化される現象 / Shortcut settings are reset every time the application is launched

    Urgent: Persistent Keyboard Shortcut Bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9)

    To the Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    This is a follow-up regarding a previously acknowledged bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9). Despite being confirmed as a bug, it remains unfixed in version 26.5.

    Issue:
    My custom keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F9) assigned to a specific "Align" command is being forcefully overwritten by the default "Pathfinder" panel shortcut upon every application launch.

    Impact:
    I have attempted to create and save new shortcut sets, but the application resets these to default every time it launches. This constant re-configuration disrupts my professional workflow and reduces productivity.

    Request:
    As this issue has been…

  17. Auto activate fonts option turns back on by it self

    Auto font activate keeps turning back on after I turn it off. I do not want it on because I use my own font service and sometimes I already have the fonts. When it auto adds the font it makes it so the font doesn't work at all then I have to go in cc app and scroll forever (because there is no search) to remove the font.

    Apparently the only fix is to completely turn of adobe fonts from the CC app which will remove all adobe fonts which is not what I want to do!! I still use…

  18. SAVED AS .ai files going back to older directories for linked files. BUG with links

    This has happened several times over the last 6 months. I regularly will open an .ai doc I did a few months ago (generally saved onto an SSD external drive), save as to my desktop (mac mini m4) and do updates to linked images in the file. Later the new .ai is packaged when finished and all the linked files are in the LINK folder. However, after closing and opening the file the next day, or days later, the .ai file has gone back to the original folder location and picked up the old links (linked names are generally saved…

  19. In version 30.5.1, Illustrator stopped writing color settings to ACEConfigCache2.lst, the file used for color settings synchronization.

    Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and Bridge use ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Color/ACEConfigCache2.lst to store and synchronize their active color settings preset names.

    Up through Illustrator 30.5, Illustrator correctly wrote its own color settings information to this file. However, starting with version 30.5.1, it not only stops writing its color settings entry, but also removes the Illustrator 2026 entry from the file entirely.

    Illustrator 30.5.1 still appears to read color settings written by Bridge and can apply the corresponding preset correctly. However, given that it no longer maintains its own entry in ACEConfigCache2.lst, I would like to ask whether this behavior is intentional or if…

  20. Unicode - or wrong code - in file names

    File names with strange characters produce strange and inconsistent info in the DocumentAfterSave and DocumentAfterActivate events. I keep adding regexes to my "fix name" routine....
    These messages belong to the same file:
    <documentAfterActivate><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%B9%20Basis-edit.ai</url><name>Designelemente basierend auf geometrischer und konstruierter Grafik ¹ Basis-edit.ai</name></documentAfterActivate>
    <documentAfterSave><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%C2ą%20Basis-edit.ai</url></documentAfterSave>
    So, this ¹ is represented as %B9 in one place and %C2ą (note: a letter with a waggy tail) in the other

    OS: Win 11, Illustrator all versions (at least back to 2019)
