Symbol swatches on network drives won't stay persistent
We store our color and symbol swatches on a network drive. If we set our color swatches to be persistent, they automatically load whenever we restart Illustrator. This is not the case with symbol swatches. We have to reload manually every time. We expect them to operate the same way as color swatches. Please fix. Running Win 10/11 and the latest Illustrator.

"Other option" for text in Properties panel slow down PC
Illustrator beta 29.5 35
When I try to open "other option" for text in the property panel the software slow down very much, I mean it freeze for at least 10 seconds and it happens every time. If I use the usual full Text panel no problems, but normally using the Properties is easier to have all in the same place, so it's a bit frustrating.

Asset export does not include appearance outside bounding box area of text objects (preview bounds are ignored)
In Illustrator 2025 (using version 29.3.1), when exporting assets, appearance elements outside the bounding box area are cut off.
In 2024 (28.7.5) and 2023 (27.9.6), all elements are exported without cutting.Reproduction Procedure
1. create a text object
2. add a bold stroke color to the text
3. add as an asset export item
4. export the assetExpected result
Designs with stroke color should be exported as in previous versions without problems.Appendix.
If a fill is added instead of a line and “path offset” is applied instead, this problem can be avoided because the bounding box is extended.…

Error in Startup Script - Line 2798: { No matching closing brace found
I am getting an error on launch of Illustrator, seems to have begun with the latest update.
Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/photoshop_v2025.jsx
Line 2798: {No matching closing brace found
The error can be dismissed and the application runs fine after that.
Note that this is an error reffering to a startup script named "Adobe Photoshop", but the error comes up when launching Illustrator. Interestingly, there is no error when launching Photoshop.

More than 32,000 anchor points can be added to a single path
The pathPoint limit is 32,000, and if we try to continue drawing a path from the end of a PathItem with the pen tool, a dialog box will appear and refuse to add anchor points, but we can add anchor points to the segments in between.

「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない/Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.
Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。
・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
・Beta版と製品版(2025、2024)で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ回避策として
・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートするなどの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか?と疑っています。
バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。
When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.
- This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
- Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.
Workarounds:
- Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.
- Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other…

Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...
Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...
Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...
Shame!

The default text color in Swatches Info is rich RGB black when used in a CMYK document
Create a CMYK document with Print profile.
Create a Swatches Info object.
Notice the black text in it is way too sharp on edges.
Select text and check its color. It’s RGB 0 0 0, displayed in CMYK something like 91,17 78,69 61,95 97,45 (depending on the profile used, of course).
It makes zero sense to use RGB Black in a CMYK document... in a live object especially.Yes, black color is not defined with Normal Paragraph Style, but is properly defined when a text is created with Type Tool. Why doesn’t this function know about it?

Text converting to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025
Text is getting converted to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025, even though I am NOT selecting that option. This is bad for SEO and accessibility and needs to be fixed asap.

Gradient Strokes lose exactly 1pt thickness when placed and embedded into another Illustrator file
When placing AI or PDF files into an Illustrator document, any strokes that have gradients applied will become exactly 1pt thinner than its intended weight. The weight shows properly before embedding the link. I've seen a number of designers use a gradient 1pt line on their artwork to seem "metallic" only to find their line completely disappears if their artwork is placed into another Illustrator file. This only applies if you embed the link. Leaving the linked AI/PDF as a link will preserve the correct stroke weight.
This appears to be present in several versions of Illustrator dating back to…

We request that function key conversion be re-enabled for Japanese input.
Due to the latest update release, the conversion shortcuts using function keys during Japanese input have become unavailable. Please restore them so they can be used again.
Conversion shortcut details:
F6 → Hiragana
F7 → Katakana
F8 → Half-width Roman characters
F9 → Full-width Roman charactersIn Japan, conversion shortcuts using function keys are commonly used.
Previously, I could use those keys for Japanese input conversion without having to delete the corresponding Illustrator shortcut settings. However, in the latest version, even deleting the settings doesn't work, which is inconvenient.25 votesReported as fixed in version 30.
If this is still a problem for you with the latest build — please comment.

Join Tool and overlapping paths - strange behavior
Hello, UserVoice and Illustrator community!
Join tool make strange behavior - problem with overlapping paths.
I took a ready-made example with an umbrella from a pink outline.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/join-tool.htmlI used the join tool as in the example, everything is fine (it connected the intersecting outlines and the overlapping ones too).
Then I moved the green element a little and the join tool started to behave strangely.
Example on the top right (dark turquoise umbrella).
The intersecting outlines worked well.
But the overlapping ones - I did some nonsense, I got a loooong tail.I also moved the green element and…
1 voteThe paths are actually diverge or the intersection happens after the paths are extended, and not shortened, as explained in the comments
