  1. Poor support for copies made with <use> syntax when importing SVGs

    Adobe Illustrator has a well-known, long-standing bug when importing SVG files.

    In the SVG code, to reduce file size, I originally used a syntax called <use> (array copy) to generate the 91 vents, fan screw holes, and 36 gear teeth. However, Illustrator has very poor support for this "copy syntax," causing it to "lose" all of these elements during reading, resulting in an empty panel and bare circles.

  2. Errant Connection Issues Using Concept to Vector Feature

    Concept to Vector consistently fails for a particular image with an apparent connection error.

    The generation process runs and appears to complete normally. However, at the end of the process, Illustrator displays:

    “Cannot generate results due to connection issues. Please check your internet and try again.”

    I have repeated the operation several times over the past two days with the same result. My internet connection is functioning normally. I also successfully completed a previous image using Concept to Vector, so the feature has worked correctly in the same general environment.

    Because the error occurs after the generation process appears to…

  4. Concept to Vector fails mid-process with non-actionable error message

    When using Concept to Vector, the process consistently fails approximately halfway through execution.

    Instead of explaining why the operation failed, Illustrator displays the following message:

    "Please slow down and try again later."

    The operation is then aborted.

    The message does not provide enough information to understand the cause of the failure or how to resolve it. It is unclear whether the issue is related to service availability, account limitations, usage limits, network connectivity, the source image, or another factor.

    As a result, the only available option is to repeatedly retry the operation without knowing whether the problem is temporary or…

  5. If an artboard has a space character at the end of its name, it won’t get exported as an SVG silently

    1. Create 2 artboards and draw something on each
    2. Rename the first to be 'OK'
    3. Rename the second, add a space character at the end of the second artboard’s name — 'Not OK '
    4. Export SVGs: makes sure you have 'Use Artboards' enabled Ai would generate only the 'OK.svg' only, the second file is missing. Removing the space characters makes it work.

  7. New guides are useless to me.

    At the very least, automatically put them into their own layer where I can easily find them and then lock them if I wish. I also find your feedback system to be punitive to your customers.

  8. ExtendScript gives && and || equal precedence

    The below is from u/Ales-78 on Reddit:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1x0idoa/extendscript_gives_and_equal_precedence_confirmed/

    "I found this while debugging something that made no sense, and because I once reported a "bug" to Adobe that turned out to be my own syntax error, I checked it on several versions before posting.

    ExtendScript evaluates && and || at the same precedence level, left to right. So a || b && c is parsed as (a || b) && c instead of the correct a || (b && c). ECMAScript requires && to bind tighter.

    Two lines, no document needed:

    alert(true || false && false);

    // prints "false", should…

  9. ファイル名変更後も旧ファイル名がドキュメントタイトルに残り、書き出しファイルに継承される不具合

    Illustratorにおいて、ファイル名の変更に対してメタ情報の「ドキュメントタイトル」が適切に更新されず、古いファイル名が残ってしまう現象を確認しました。
    また、この書類が書き出した画像ファイルの情報にもそのまま継承されることを確認しています。

    以下に具体的な操作手順と、それぞれのファイル名やドキュメントタイトルの状態を示します。

    ■1 新規ファイル作成
    プロファイルから「A4テンプレ1」を選び、名前(ファイル名)を「書類A」に変更して開く
    ファイル → ファイル情報 からメタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」を確認する
    結果: 現ファイル名の「書類A」と同じではなく、変更前のファイル名「A4テンプレ1」となっていました。

    ■2 そのままJPEG書き出し
    ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式 でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果: ファイル名は「書類A」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイル名と同じ「A4テンプレ1」でした。

    ■3 新規ファイル「書類A」を保存
    まだ保存されていなかったこのAiファイルを ファイル → 保存: 書類A.ai
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」に変更されました。

    ■4 再びJPEG書き出し
    書類A.ai から、ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式 でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」でした。

    ■5 書類Aを「別名保存」し、書類Bを作成
    書類A.ai から、ファイル → 別名保存で 書類B.ai を作成
    結果: メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類B」に変更されました。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像は、ファイル名・ドキュメントタイトルどちらも「書類B」でした。

    ■6 書類BをOS上で名称変更
    書類B.ai のファイル名を、OS上で 書類C.ai と書き換える
    結果: ファイル名は「書類C」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイルと同じ「書類B」のままでした。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像も、ファイル名が「書類C.jpg」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。

    この現象は、ユーザーにとって明らかな不具合だと思います。
    具体的には■2や■6の挙動が問題で、Aiファイルの名称とドキュメントタイトルが一致せず、書き出された画像に想定外の情報が残ってしまうことは、ファイル名とメタデータの整合性が失われますし、トラブルの原因ともなるため、単なる仕様と見過ごすことはできません。
    また、そもそも多くのIllustratorユーザーがこの挙動に気付かず、不適切なタイトルを刻んだ画像ファイルを生み出していると思われます。
    なぜなら、この「ドキュメントタイトル」という情報は、Macの標準的なFinder機能「情報を見る」を使っても表示されない項目だからです。
    しかもこの情報はWindowsではたやすく表示されるため、自らMacで意図せず埋め込んだ画像の不適切な情報が、納品先のWindowsで視認されている可能性があるのです。

    ※Windowsでの「ドキュメントタイトル」確認方法
    ファイルを選んで「プロパティ」から「詳細」タブを開くと、「タイトル」を確認することができます。
    また環境によっては、ファイルアイコンの上に矢印を置くだけで表れるファイル情報の中に、ドキュメントタイトルの情報が表示されます。

    具体的なリスク例(画像参照):

    ●ファイル名「ダメ課長のダメな案.ai」をOS上で「上司B案.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
       ↓
     ドキュメントタイトルが「ダメ課長のダメな案」のまま表示され、トラブルとなる。

    ●ファイル名「2026年8月.ai」をOS上で「2024年12月.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
       ↓
     ドキュメントタイトルが「2026年8月」のまま表示され、混乱を招く。

    なお、この不具合は、書き出したファイルの種類で結果が異なります。

    TIFF: JPGと同じ不具合が生じます。いずれもメタ情報の有無は選べず、必ず埋め込まれます。
    PSD:  Photoshopから「ファイル情報」を確認
     →「書類C.psd」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。
    PDF:  Acrobatから「プロパティ」を確認
     →「書類C.pdf」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類C」に揃えられていました。
       (ただし保存の条件で変わると思われます)
    PNG・WEBP: そもそも「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されません。
    他は未検証です。
    なお、メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されるファイルでは、撮影日時、プログラム名(Illustratorバージョン)も保存されていました。

    過去の類似する記事では、書き出し後の対処について書かれていても根本的な解決には至らず数年経過しており、また前述の通りMacユーザーにとっては大変見えづらいトラブルであることから、早々の解消が望まれる深刻なバグとして改めてここに報告いたしました。

  10. Move feature does not start at "0"

    Pressing Enter used to allow you to move an object by putting in the values. Now.....many times, it will jump to the position but act like that is the "starting" point rather than the original position. It's quite bothersome and wastes a lot of time trying to move objects by the move feature.

  12. 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,…

  15. 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.

  17. 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…

  19. 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.
