  1. Export for screens

    I just realised that "Asset Export" doesn't retain the CMYK colour mode. This is a huge problem. All the time I've been exporting the PDF's from my CMYK working colour mode, only to discover that my PDF's have been converted to RGB instead. Why one earth do you do this?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Curse you Adobe!!

    If you don't include the ability to export files as CMYK from Asset Export, then make the darn PDF, JPG, and SVG easier to export!!!!!!!!!

    Why the heck do you have to make things so **** difficult for your users?! I don't understand you!!!!!

  2. Vector fill shifting when exporting

    I created a fill using vector lines that looks like a quilted look. I arranged the fill in the object to be centered. However, when I either open the AI. file in acrobat or export as png or jpeg the fill vector lines have shifted and are no longer centered. I have tried grouping the layers and locking the layers. THe only thing that seams to work is rasterizing, which I would rather not do in case I need to edit later. Plus, even when I rasterize in high 300dpi the lines don't look clear.

  5. This operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available.

    i'm getting this message "This operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available." I have 64GB Ram and NIVIDIA RTX 3090GPU , it happens when I tried to rotate a shape that has "free from gradient" and inner glow effect with clipping mask.

  6. The Stacked Bar Graph tool doesn’t add up correctly in Illustrator 2021.

    I’m designing a publication with lots of data. These figures have to be absolutely correct, since they’re economical and official. I noticed that the Stacked Bar Graph tool doesn’t produce bars of equal length and doesn’t align on the right. There are notable differences even though all my data add up to 100 and have three decimals.

    What a shock, if anything should be correct this is it.

    It’s not about this utterly backward graph tools which are unchanged over the last 20 odd years, it’s not about Illustrator not being able to use multicore on the Mac. None of…

  8. Can't see the fint size in the type panel

    Hi, I work in publishing so I need to see the font size in the top bar but all I can see in illustrator 2020 is the stroke size when I choose the T tool. When I watch tutorials I can see they have the type bar across the top but all I have is the character window which is very cumbersome when I need to constantly change the font size. Can you tell me how I can see that type bar? Is it something simple because I just can't figure out how?

  11. Locked background objects unlocking/moving when using lasso selection tool

    When I select using the LASSO tool, on screen shows the correct points have been selected, but when I then try to move just these selected points, Illustrator also moves the LOCKED background objects underneath. This error does not happen when I select using other tools. This is clearly a bug!

  12. Exporting from AI to Jpg/PNG - Thin line at bottom of photo.

    When exporting and AI file (Logo in this case) to a JPG/PNG format from AI, each image had a thin black line at the frame of the image on the bottom. There was nothing on the artboards that would have caused this. I had to open the exported images in photoshop and remove the line manually. Image attached.

  14. Pixelated patterns appearing across top of screen

    Since updating to Illustrator 2021 I get patterns of pixels appearing at the top of my screen and moving as the mouse moves. Not sure if anyone else has this, it doesn't happen in InDesign or Photoshop.

  17. Cannot place an AI or EPS file in a new document without it looking messed up (AI 25.0)

    I've tried placing AI and EPS logo designs into a new document and the logos are distorted. (Opening original looks fine). Weird scaling of individual parts and unexpected curves. It's a mess. Have to copy paste from original, cannot use place at all.

  19. Unsauber

    Vektoren lassen sich in Illustrator 2021 nicht mehr sauber und geschmeidig ziehen, Formen lassen sich nicht passgenau verschieben.
    Sie "hopsen" mit Absätzen und können nicht mehr (wie früher in den alten Versionen) sauber und geschmeidig platziert/gezeichnet werden. Ich würde gern wieder sauber und geschmeidig mit Vektoren arbeiten. Was ist da faul?

  20. Can't highlight document name or sizes to change...

    When I create a new document, I cannot highlight the name or sizes with my mouse anymore. I have to click and delete manually before inputting new information.
