  1. (Slow) and not responding

    Hi!

    For the moment, I am unable to work on Illustrator. It worked fine earlier this week (even with a few unexpected crashes or slow moment).

    On a preexisting file or a brand new one, it is slow (zooming in or out for example takes seconds) if not just not responding at all: trying to move an element gives me a black window for a few sec' with a Not Responding state before I can see again and nothing has moved.

    I tried on v.25.0 and v.24.3 (from Windows 10).

    Maybe the issue comes from the computer, or Windows ? …

  2. illustrator is unable to save this document ... due to some unexpected errors.

    Prior that, I get a message saying "This file has been modified outside Illustrator. Do you want to continue?" Then I click yes.

    Then... "Illustrator is unable to save this document ... due to some unexpected errors."

    I've been getting this message every now and then whenever I try to save a document. Started when I updated my Adobe Illustrator to version 25.0.

    Save a copy yields the same result.

    Adobe Illustrator version 25.0
    macOS Catalina version 10.15.6

  3. PROBLEME A L'OUVERTURE

    Bonjour,
    Depuis de nombreuses semaines il m'est demandé à chaque ouverture de rentrer mon identifiant et mon mot de passe.
    C'est insupportable !
    J'ai fait toutes les demandes afin que ce problème soit réglé. A part me donner des listes de sites avec des liens innombrables pour procéder moi-même à la résolution de ce problème, je n'ai aucune solution.
    Je ne suis pas technicien et les solutions sont hermétiques.
    Je souhaiterais que quelqu'un de qualifié prenne la main sur mon ordinateur et fasse les réglages lui-même.
    Merci

  4. Allow a “create new folder” option, as the desktop version has.

    I don’t see any option to create a folder for files with this version. I can only create new files. I need to be able to create folders to keep all of my images organized. Right now, they’re all over the place. The desktop version has the option to create folders, and I don’t understand why this version doesn’t.

  5. Copy & Paste not working from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop no longer works. When attempting to paste in Photoshop, Photoshop gives this response..."could not complete the paste command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid". I recently updated to Illustrator CC 24.1 and Photoshop CC 21.1 running on Mac OS High Sierra v. 10.13.6 This functionality worked flawlessly on the previous versions of Illustrator and Photoshop, but no longer works with the update. I've tried trashing prefs and restarting the computer, but to no avail. Is there a fix for this?

  6. Dragging a bounding box corner rotates instead of scaling

    I recently updated to the latest version and at the same time discovered this issue. When moving my mouse over to the corner or center of an object, to grab those white scaling boxes, i am given the icon to scale said object, however when i click and drag the object rotates instead. its very frustrating as all icons and tool use indicates it should scale but surprise it rotates.

  7. Editing direct select tool node deletion/undo

    I love being able to delete a node just by pausing with the Apple Pencil on top of the node. However, there is a conflict with trying to move and adjust the node. Often when I am carefully and slowly moving a node, it deletes it instead of moving it. Then when I hit undo the node comes back but it isn’t visible. My work around is to click on a different line to select the nodes there and then click on the line that I want to edit. Then I can see the node I want to move again.

  8. Mi panel de propiedades esta TODO en ingles-

    Es muy molesto, todo esta en español excepto esto y son palabras muy tecnicas las cuales no conozco. Dependo de estar parando mi trabajo y traducir cada maldita palabra. Esto no pasaba cuando utilizaba Adobe ilustrator 2020.
    Este 2021 esta lleno de fallas, pero este es el mas molesto. ARREGLENLO.

  10. Alt click with the Scale tool makes y scale 0%

    Al clicking with the scale tool (to choose an origin and open the numeric scale dialog) results in a default Y scale of 0%

    That's strange!

    And please make the upmost input field the default selected one.

  12. Crash On Print

    I have an iMac 27 running macOS Catalina version 10.15.7. Illustrator is version 25.0

    About one in four attempts to print results in illustrator crashing with no saving or backup. It seems to happen with ay file and especially if it has not been saved! I select 'File|Print' or 'command P' and boom - illustrator instantly gone.

  13. Adding colors from Adobe Libraries to swatches creates duplicates

    When I add a selection of colors from the adobe libraries panel to swatches, using the Ctrl+click and selecting 'add color to swatches' it adds them twice in the swatches panel. So if I select 5 colors and add, they show up in swatches as color1, color1,color2, color2,color3, color3,color4, color4,color5, color5

  14. Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to version 2 ICC profiles.

    I get this message:
    "Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to version 2 ICC profiles."
    whenever I save a PDF when using the GRACoL_CRPC6.icc profile. I get it regardless of whether an image has been placed in the document or not.

    It is very inconvenient to have to click to dismiss this message every time I make a PDF, which over the course of job will amount to 100s of times. Also it means our automation of PDF making is interrupted and requires an operator to pay attention the whole time.

    Thanks
    Dave

  15. grey bar or box

    When the pointer hits certain (very many) points, gray bars or boxes appear as in the attached screen capture, making the operation difficult. Please fix it.

  16. Ctrl+Z in Isolation mode makes all objects in the document opaque

    Hello!

    Has anyone runinto this glitch?

    Isolation mode bugs out and turns the entire document, except the specific object, opaque and refuses to let you exit this view though it acts like you have exited isolation mode. It usually happens when I ctrl+Z after entering isolation mode, The document also saves like this, which is a major pain for colour work. Copy and pasting the elements rights them to be not opaque.

  17. Illustrator CC crashes when I open it. Does not generate error report.

    When I open a new Illustrator file it'll generate with a few solid black rectangles at random positions on the screen. After scrolling they go away. Then I will use Illustrator normally for about 5 minutes and then numerous pop up in numerous sizes then the program crashes and does not generate an error report.

    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling version 24.3 and 25 respectively.
    I have tried deleting cache and resetting scratch disks.
    I have delete the opm.db file, and cleared preferences.
    I am using a desktop that has:
    500 GB SSD (where all adobe programs are installed)
    1TB…

  18. Ghost shadows/projections when isolating a group

    Sometimes when isolating a group (double clicking) and zooming in, a strange ghost offset projection across all the screen appears, and it slides across the screen when dragging through the workspace.
    I remember it used to happen in Ai 2019, stopped happening in Ai 2020 and now it came back. BUT I have not had this issue occurred between the Ai 2021 release and the macOS Big Sur update so I am not sure what the cause could be, and that's what's tricky, it only happens SOMETIMES and I haven't found any pattern about it.

  19. 制作したデータを保存する際に、拡張子まで選択される。

    Macbook Pro(15-inch.2016)マジック ツールバー搭載モデル
    macOS Catalina 10.15.3

    Illustrator2020/Photoshop2020
    制作データを保存しようとすると、ファイル名だけでなく、毎回必ず拡張子まで選択されます。
    「別名で保存」「複製を保存」問わず、毎回必ず拡張子まで選択される為、ファイル名を変更しようとすると拡張子まで消えてしまいます。
    その都度ファイル名を選択し直してから保存していますが、煩わしくてしかたありません。
    この症状はIllustratorだけでなく、Photoshopでも同じ現象が起こります。
    他のアプリケーションでは、データを保存する際このような症状は出ません。
    解決方法を教えてください。

  20. CC 2021 freezing on or right after start after working just fine for 3 weeks

    Hello,
    I worked for 3 weeks just fine with PS, AI and InDesign (all CC 2021) and then one evening the applications won't open again. They are freezing when starting up or crashing right after the start. I have changed nothing on my system, have installed no new software or anything I could imagine causing this behavior. Looking for help I browsed the internet and found that for many people only reinstalling the CC2020 applications helped. So I did that because I had work to finish. I think Adobe is not doing enough to help those many designers who report…
