画像配置の際のフォルダ When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location
画像配置の際、複数回使っている同じ画像でもフォルダを記憶してくれず、大変に困っております。
以前のように、一度フォルダを指定したら同じ場所を自動的に参照してくれる仕様に戻していただきたいです。
制作作業において非常に不便で、効率に大きく影響しています。When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location — even for multiple links that use the same image.
It would be very helpful if Illustrator could once again remember the previously used folder, as it did before.
This current behavior is extremely inconvenient and has a serious impact on workflow efficiency.2 votes -
Image links broken in Illustrator 29.8 for different users
We work as a team on Windows, files are linked from an area like "C:\Users\UserName\SharedDrive\" where the user name changes based on the team member.
Illustrator 29.4 can handle this change. For example, if Jane and I are working on the same file, she can place a file with a link C:\Users\Jane\SharedDrive\file name.jpg, and when I open the file, Illustrator updates the link to C:\Users\Sarah\SharedDrive\file name.jpg with no issues.
Jane updated to Illustrator 29.8.2 and suddenly all her links appear as missing on my computer. I tried also updating to 29.8.2 and links remained broken. We both downgraded to 29.4…

Use Artboards option disabled when exporting as PDF – even in new multi-artboard documents

2. Add simple objects on each artboard
3. Go to File ▸ Export ▸ Export As… ▸ Select PDF
4. → “Use Artboards” option is greyed outExpected result:
“Use Artboards” should be selectable so that Illustrator exports each artboard as a separate PDF file.Actual result:…

Alt & drag to copy not working.
I only read one post about this problem with a GIF example. I'm working on Windows desktop, every time I try to alt + drag to copy something, at first it creates a copy, but when I release the mouse or keys (tested many combinations), it ends up only moving that object to that place instead of creating a copy. It's really frustrating because it's making my job difficult.

Acrobat layers duplicate excessively in AI file’s compatible PDF
Illustrator 2025 (29.8.2)
When “Save in Background” is enabled, the Acrobat layers in the compatible PDF within AI files duplicate according to the number of artboards. For example, when there are 10 artboards and 2 layers, there should be 2 Acrobat layers, but instead 20 layers are generated.
aiファイルの互換PDFでAcrobatレイヤーが過剰に複製される
「バックグラウンドで保存」が有効な場合、AIファイル内の互換PDFにおけるAcrobatレイヤーがアートボードの数に応じて複製されます。例えば、アートボードが10個、レイヤーが2個ある場合、Acrobatレイヤーは2個であるべきところ、実際には20個のレイヤーが生成されます。

Created Dimensions change their snapping positions
I wanted to use the Dimension tool but I’m afraid it really needs some work and can only be used when your drawing is finished.
Here is a quite of bug that happened: I was adding another space and other dimensions. Apparently it changed my previous one with a certain angle (I didn't rotate anything though).
I did realize at that time and can't even go back to when it was good.2 votes -
Text is not working
My textboxes are empty including those that use to have text in it. I can create or select and edit them but when I type something in, nothing appears. If I try to select a text layer thats connected to a group, it randomly changes to selecting the parent/group.

Libraries Panel coming up black v 29.8.2
Libraries Panel is coming up black in v29.8.2 on MacBook Pro M1 2020, iOS 15.5 (24F74). I checked my CC app and can see everything there, but the panel won't do anything in Illustrator.

When moving object it counts as hundreds of inputs, filling the history
When you move an object with the mouse, it seems to consider each pixel or so it moves as an individual input, so if you just quickly drag something, your history is completely filled and it is impossible to undo enough to undo the single move. It also shows up as 'Undo' in the history tab rather than 'move' - only the final one is considered 'move'.

Releasing Shift when resizing an area type with Alt+Shift (but still holding Alt) makes the text jump
Take a look at the GIF attached.
Here are the steps:
1. Create an area type, enable bounding box, click and drag a corner marker with Selection tool
2. Hold Alt + Shift to proportionally resize the area from its center
3. Change your mind!
4. Release Shift while still holding Alt and the mouse key — while still moving the cursorSome splitting happens — the frame of the bounding box follows the cursor, but the rendered frame with the text stays in the previous registered location.
The faster you move the mouse — the larger is the gap.…

File names are broken on macOS scripts
Bug reproduction:
#target illustrator var file = File.openDialog("Select any file", "All files:*.*"); var message = 'Results\nfile.name: "' + file.name + '"\nfile.displayName: "' + file.displayName + '"\nfile.localizedName: "' + file.localizedName + '"'; alert(message);Save this as a script, run it in Illustrator on macOS and select any file.
Expected outcome: An alert is displayed with all of the name attributes are populated
Actual outcome: displayName and localizedName give empty string and undefined.Tested on macOS 15.7.1, Illustrator v29.8.2. Same script works on Windows 11.

GPU rendering & mouse with indents (stepping) scroll wheel = blurry graphics
When scrolling with a scroll wheel that has indents, the GPU rendering causes blurry graphics at the beginning of the newly rendered pars that come into the workspace. See attachment.
It takes half a second to render that portion of the screen in normal quality on a Mac Studio Max! This machine should render fast enough to see no blurry parts. (120fps games as an example!)
I suspect Ai 29.8.2 to have a render engine problem. It’s just too slow. Other apps like Figma, Affinity Designer render the same documents 100x faster.2 votes -
Errors were detected but could not be corrected automatically. Please send the file to Adobe for further analysis.
I have already tried to reset illustrator preferences, removed all unused brushed and patterns.

PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025
ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
Hello everyone,
I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
System: macOS 15.6.1
Apple M1 Max
64 GB
The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM,…2 votes -
Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly
I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?2 votes -
Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave
Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!2 votes
