  1. Restore Sequential Artboard Numbering for Exported Files

    Dear Adobe Illustrator Development Team,

    I would like to provide feedback regarding the recent change to artboard export naming behavior in Illustrator.

    In previous versions, exporting multiple artboards could automatically preserve the artboard order by adding sequential numbers to the exported filenames, such as:

    File-01.png

    File-02.png

    File-03.png

    This was a simple and efficient workflow because the artboard order already exists within the document.

    With the current behavior, exported files increasingly depend on individual artboard names. As a result, users may need to rename artboards simply to maintain a clear sequential file order.

    For designers working with catalogs, calendars, presentation boards,…

  3. When saving files, the prompt text has become unreadable

    What's wrong with my software?
    When saving files, the previous prompts were normal text. However, recently, I don't know where the problem has arisen.

  4. Linked images missing from PDF-compatible data in .ai files – still happening in 30.8.2 (macOS)

    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/51032623-files-saved-are-missing-images-when-imported-into

    Environment

    Illustrator 30.8.2, macOS 26.6.2 (Apple silicon)
    Files on a local external SSD, not a network or cloud drive
    "Create PDF Compatible File" on; images linked, not embedded

    Issue
    A large linked CMYK image (about 4,250 × 9,560 px, 8-bit, with transparency, around 120 MB) shows correctly in Illustrator. When the .ai is placed in another document, or read by other PDF software, that image is missing. Everything else in the file shows.

    What I found when I inspected the saved file:

    The native Illustrator data holds the placed image correctly: right path, position and scale.
    The PDF-compatible part…

  5. Wacom ExpressKey Remote Touch Ring zoom fails when GPU Performance is enabled

    Illustrator: 30.8.2
    Windows: Windows 10 Home 22H2
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
    Wacom: Cintiq 27QHD + ExpressKey Remote EKR-100
    Wacom driver: WacomTablet_6.4.5-5 and newer

    Description:

    In Illustrator 30.8.2, the Wacom ExpressKey Remote Touch Ring does not zoom correctly when GPU Performance is enabled.

    When rotating the Touch Ring, the canvas briefly flickers/shakes and may zoom by only one step, then stops responding.

    The problem disappears immediately when I disable:

    Preferences → Performance → GPU Performance

    With GPU Performance disabled, the Touch Ring zoom works normally and continuously.

    I have confirmed that:

    Wacom Diagnostics correctly detects Touch Ring rotation.

  7. Inconsistency With Transform Controls in Control Bar

    I am noticing inconsistent display of Transform dimensions in the Control bar, when selecting similar elements. Referencing the attached images, notice that when one of the pasted .tif images is selected, the Transform dimensions are displayed in the Control Bar, but when the other image is selected, the Transform controls are collapsed and require an extra click to view and copy/paste sizes. These images were copy and pasted from the same website and appear to be the same format. Unfortunately, this slows down my workflow as previous iterations of the software always displayed the Transform dimensions of selected elements within…

  8. Hands-on tutorial crash

    Hands-on tutorials crash when clicking on the floating window's "?" to locate the tool or menu area in the user interface. I'm using the hands-on tutorials as part of my class and this is causing students and their teacher a lot of frustration.

  9. Transform dimensions - Constraint applied even though it is disabled

    When transforming the dimensions in the 'Transform' window, the constraint option (chain icon) is applied even though it is disabled. One measurement - width or height - cannot be altered without the other following along.
    I have been able to fix this by closing the application completely, but this is happening repeatedly.

  10. Adobe Illustrator freezes and crashes when using the Dimension Tool

    I’m experiencing an issue with the Dimension Tool in Adobe Illustrator. Whenever I activate the tool and try to use it, the entire program freezes and then crashes. This is interrupting my work.

    I’ve attached a screenshot showing the tool and its options. Could you please help me identify the cause and resolve the issue?

    Thank you.

  12. Generate Vectors "Add Reference" on homescreen interfering with spacebar input

    Stemming from this bug report: https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/spacebar-activates-enable-window-popup-with-new-file-1642239?tid=1642239&postid=7764732#post7764732

    I am on Mac Tahoe 21.6.2 and Illustrator 30.8.1

    The steps are very simple:

    1. Open Illustrator 2: Press spacebar
    2. The "Add Reference" file dialog pops up

    This is the bare minimum to reproduce, however the file dialogue will appear if you:

    1. Open a specific file with Illustrator closed
    2. Upon opening your file, pressing space will still open the "Add Reference" dialogue, despite being off the homescreen/working in a file.

    Attached is a screen recording showing this process. A current workaround would be to click Hide Suggestions, however I find Illustrator does not always remember…

  13. アートボード名が分版プレビューで消える

    再現手順
    1. ACMYKモードのドキュメントを開く
    2. オーバープリントプレビューに切替る。
    3. 分版プレビューパネルでブラックをオフにする。
    4. アートボードヒアリ上に表示されるアートボード名も消える。

    期待する結果
    アートボード名が表示されたままになる

    実際の結果
    アートボード名がページコンテンツのブラック成分と共に非表示になる。

    代替手順
    実際のデータに対する影響は無い。利便性の問題だけなので特に対処する必要はない。アートボード名の表示を25%程度のグレースケールで表示しているために起こるものなので機会があればCMYK各成分が入った状態もしくは分版プレビューの影響を受けないように変更してください。

    EN
    Steps to Reproduce
    1. Open a CMYK document.
    2. Switch to Overprint Preview.
    3. Turn off Black in the Separations Preview panel.
    4. The artboard name displayed on the artboard header disappears.

    Expected Result
    The artboard name remains visible.

    Actual Result
    The artboard name is hidden along with the black components of the page content.

    Workaround
    This has no impact on the actual data. Since it is merely a convenience issue, no specific action is required. This occurs because the artboard name is displayed…

  14. Negative numbers go positive when posting data into the graph tool

    Negative numbers go positive when posting data into the graph tool.
    Since I remember I have had to type a minus manually to each negative cell into graph tool data, since it won’t paste the minus sign. This is extremely time consuming and often leads to errors in the graph. Is the a way to get around it that I have missed, or are you planning on fixing this issue sometime soon?

  15. Blend objects based on Paintbrush strokes render incorrectly and Illustrator crashes

    The document worked correctly approximately two weeks ago.

    The artwork contains many lines created with the Paintbrush Tool. Some of these brush strokes are used as source objects for Blend objects.

    Current problem:
    All Blend objects that are based on Paintbrush strokes are rendered incorrectly. Colors and/or stroke appearances change significantly after opening the file.

    Normal objects and non-blended artwork appear correctly.

    The document was originally displayed and saved correctly approximately two weeks ago. The problem appeared after recent Illustrator updates.

    Tests performed:

    • Illustrator 30.8.1:
      Blend objects based on Paintbrush strokes render incorrectly.
      "Save As" becomes extremely slow / Illustrator…

  16. Links Panel / Relink feature freezes and stops responding during batch production work

    When working on repetitive batch production tasks (such as updating multiple Amazon product listing variations where images are continuously relinked and embedded), the Links panel / Relink feature frequently breaks or stops responding entirely. Clicking the "Relink" button or using the context menu does nothing, effectively freezing that specific panel's functionality.

    Currently, the only workaround is to completely shut down Adobe Illustrator and reload multiple project files, which heavily disrupts high-volume production workflows and wastes significant work time.

  17. AI files with 'Create PDF Compatible File' show missing artwork when opened in PDF viewers (Illustrator 2026, Windows 10)

    After updating to Illustrator 2026 for Windows, AI files saved with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turn out to be incomplete sometimes when opened in any PDF viewer, with missing parts in both raster images and vector artwork. Saving the file several times often fixes the problem, but the only reliable workaround is to save the document as a PDF with the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" option enabled, instead of saving it as an AI file.

    Windows 10 Pro 22H2, Illustrator 30.8.1

  18. Illustrator changing font weights when opening in different operating systems

    When saving a file in one system and opening in another (MacOS 15.7.7 to Windows 11 Pro 25H2, and vice versa), Illustrator doesn't apply the right weight that was used when the file was saved. For example, it applies the text in bold, when it was saved in light.

    Also, when linking the same file in a InDesign document, the preview has a different appearance.

    The font family I'm using is IBM Plex Sans, downloaded from Google Fonts.

    Both on Illustrator 30.8.1 and InDesign 21.5.1.

  20. アプリケーションフレームのバグ

    アプリケーションフレームをチェックを入れて作業し、ファインダのウィンドウクリックしたのち、イラレを触るとファインダの後ろにイラレのウィンドウが隠れてしまう。
    結構長い間修正されずにそのままなのですが、これがデフォルトなのでしょうか?
