  1. Illustrator CC Library Freezes

    I'm running Illustrator (25.3.1) on Mac OS Catalina (10.15.13). The CC libraries will freeze after 2-3 clicks and will not work again until I close Illustrator and open it again. The same thing happens every day, and because I can't keep closing and opening Illustrator all day, it just remains frozen for my entire work day. My libraries work fine in InDesign and Photoshop.

  2. Navigator contents not filling up window

    I posted this in the forum too.
    in the latest update, contents of navigator do not fill the window.

    Not only that, they are not even centered.
    Navigator options are set to "view artboard contents only".
    I tried checking/unchecking, but same weird beahviour.
    So here are some screenshots.

    Illustrator window, and then Illustrator Navigator. Not only do the artboards not fit the window, they are cramped on the right side.
    The second pair shows Ps behaving properly. You can notice behind PS Navigator is Ai Navigator and size discrepancy.
    Is this a bug to be fixed?
    Please bring back previous…

  3. Communicating with Adobe

    Hi Adobe people,

    I have a question about the communication with users. Under what circumstances does it make sense at all to post a comment/bug/idea/etc. in this place. Do users get heard? Is there a limit of votes above which ideas are actually implemented? How are decisions about what is fixed and what not made?

    I am asking because I have so many points collected over the years that I am planning to post. But this is kind of a lot of work on the side of regular work day that I want to make sure it is worth the…

  4. Mirroring elements takes line thickness or pasted inside elements into account which makes little sense

    When mirroring lines via the effect tool at their outmost left or right side (see last screenshot), the effects takes the line thickness into account. I cannot think of any cases where this is of any use. I would expect a behaviour as shown in the second screenshot.

    Same thing with elements that are pasted inside. The effect mirrors from the pasted inside object instead of the box into which the object is passted. Why? Is there one single case where this makes sense? I could not hink of any. Again the diesired behaviour is shwon in the second screenshot.

  5. Not enough memory

    Working on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 with Illustrator 25.3.1
    I have a simple shape like half of a circle which has a standard color filling plus a "inner Glow" effect. When I want to transform the object like scaling, it tells me there is not enough memory. When I hide the effect and redo the steps it will let me transform the object. Thanks for taking care.

  7. TIFF形式で書き出す時に日本語でファイル名をつけるとTIFFファイルのレイヤー名が文字化けする

    Illustrator ver25.3.1 ja_JP/Macintosh
    macOS10.15.6

    再現手順
    １．アートボード上にアートワークを用意する。
    ２．ファイルメニュより「書き出し＞書き出し形式」を選択しオプションのTIFFファイルを選択する。
    ３．書き出されたTIFFファイルをPhotoshopで開くとレイヤー名が文字化けしている。

    結果
    TIFFファイルのレイヤー名が文字化けしている。

    期待する結果
    TIFFファイルのレイヤー名がver.25.2.3での結果のように正常に出力される。

    これは大勢に影響のない問題ですが、一連のUnicodeテキストの取り扱いに関する不具合だと考えられます。
    書き出されたTIFFファイルのイメージリソースブロック中の8BIMシグネチャ（TIFFファイルはリトルエンディアンですからファイル内のバイト順序は逆転してMIB8で保持されています）の関連する識別子が２つあります。このうちnormがシフトJISコードでビッグエンディアンにて記述されます。もうひとつのluniはUnicodeでリトルエンディアンで記述されるのが本来の状態です。このluniの方が文字化けを起こす要因です。しかし、どの様な変換エラーなのかまでは把握できませんでした。以下は不具合が生じている部分の抜粋です。いずれもファイル名は「テスト-1.tif」としています。

    ver.25.2.3による出力
    C630 B930 C830 2D00 3100

    ver.25.3.1での出力
    C900 6500 C900 5800 C900 6700 2D00 3100

    ※各文字コードはリトルエンディアンですからUnicodeLTとなります。
    ※最新版のPhotoshopはmormの方を正しく出力出来ないバグが存在します。

  8. Eyedropper won't pick up arrowheads in 25.3.1

    Using Illustrator 25.3.1 with Mac OS 11.4, the eyedropper won't pick up the arrowhead style from a stroke to replicate onto a new stroke. This has always worked before.

  9. Illustrator stürzt nach Umschalten auf "Pfadansicht" ab.

    Windows 10 - Illustrator 25.3.1

    Ein Dokument in welchem ein 1px Raster mit 4 Unterteilungen angelegt wurde, bringt nach umschalten auf die Pfadansicht das Programm zum abstürzen.
    Wenn ich den Raster ausblende, funktioniert Illustrator einwandfrei.

    Illustrator 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。

    再現ファイルのご提供、および追加情報のご提供により、画面表示のグレーアウト現象を再現確認いたしました。

    ・使用マシンが Intel Mac
    ・環境設定の GPU パフォーマンスが無効
    ・複数ドキュメントを開いている
    ・開いている2番目以降のドキュメントで 1200% 以上にズームする

    上記のすべての条件が揃うと再現されますが、ズームアウトすると表示が戻ります。
    また、GPU パフォーマンスを有効にするほか、単一ドキュメントを開いてでの作業で現象を回避できます。
    この現象は、M1 Mac（M1 ネイティブ、および Rosetta 起動）では再現しません。

    今後、詳細な検証作業を行います。
    情報のアップデートがありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  12. exporting PDF files

    You're phasing out eps files. I gather I should now provide logos files in PDF.
    However, I can't export each art board (I use artboards for the variations of the logos I design) as a separate file. I don't believe a client wants a multiple paged PDF for a logo!
    What do you expect our work flow to be?

  15. Tool Tip for the "Get familiar with illustrator..." button doesn't go away

    Unable to close this tool tip.
    No text is showing and it doesn't go away.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled.
    This happens for 25.23.0 and 25.23.1 - which I've tried.

    Changing the view to Presentation View and escaping out of it moves the box to the bottom right.

  16. Coloured Fonts: Copied text unintentionally becomes path objects

    In AI 25.3.1 (macOS 10.14.6), when I copy a text written in a coloured font in the same document or in another document, then immediately or after a few copy-paste actions the editable text unintentionally becomes a path object. Example with the coloured font "Gilbert" attached.

  17. Diacritical characters are displayed incompletely

    I create fonts and need diacritical marks above or below letters for European fonts. When I copy the following text
    ́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ · ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^
    from TextEdit (Mac) into Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1 (Mac), many of the characters disappear.
    The problem does not occur in Affinity Designer. So please repair this bug, thanks.

  18. Problems with scripts and BridgeTalk using Illustrator 25.3.1 on M1 Mac

    I have a handful of scripts that have stopped working after switching from an Intel Mac mini to an M1 Mac mini. The scripts will run as expected if I use the Intel version of Illustrator on the M1 Mac mini, but they return this error when run using the M1 version of Illustrator on the same machine "TARGET COULD NOT BE LAUNCHED(59)". The current culprit seems to be BridgeTalk. Any help would be appreciated, thx!

  19. Performance is extremely slow when using show grids in outline preview

    macOS Big Sur 11.4, Illustrator 25.3.1

    When switching to outline mode when using show grids, it is almost impossible to keep on working as everything is in slow motion, as if the graphic card is unable to cope. This occurs with a 500 kb file that was trouble free before the last updates.

    It turns out the problem is fixed only partially in 26.3.1, only for some users, and the performance remains slow when grid is rendered with lines or dots in Outline mode. This applies to zooming, panning and ghosting of objects being moved.

    Please help the team by providing your specs and answers to these questions:

    1. Does it work fine with grid as dots in Preivew / Outline mode?

    2. Does it differ from grid as lines in these modes?

    3. What is slow for you exactly? How severe?

    4. Is there a difference if you disable 'Grids In Back' option?

    5. What are you lines/subdivisions settings?

    And any other related feedback is appreciated. Let's track it down and get this really fixed.

  20. Illustrator 2021 won't reopen files that are saved as and returns error - reboot necessary - iMac M1

    I have the lastest 2021 version of Illustrator (25) on Apple's newest iMac M1
    and Mac OS Big Sur 11.4

    I often save files as templates (option "save as") and I've noticed that:
    - When I save a file as or
    - Export a file under a certain format (even PDFs at times)

    Coming back to the original document isn't possible, upon opening, the following dialog box appears (see screen shot) and at that point, a reboot is necessary to make this possible.

    My files are located on a NAS but I am not convinced the NAS is incriminated in…
