  1. Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator

    Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

  3. 画像トレースのパスが粗すぎる

    手書きの線画を画像トレースで取り込む時、パスが粗すぎて手書きのニュアンスが消えてしまいます。
    以前のバージョンまでは、細かくトレースされていました。
    イラスト制作が主な仕事なのですが、仕事に使用する上で致命的な欠点です。
    仕方がないので、まだ以前のバージョンを使用しています。
    早急に改善をお願いいたします。

  5. I can no longer move my objects freely

    I can no longer move my objects freely as before, they are forced to be moved as if there were pixels. The methods are similar to InDesign and I can't be as precise as before because I'm forced to put an object in a place I don't want. How can i deactivate that or which settings should I change? I cant find anything.

  6. New document page dimensions resetting as I'm typing them

    Create a new document, type in desired page width, press tab to go down to the height field and suddenly it's reverted back to what was in those fields previously. Have to go back and re-enter the correct dimensions.

    There is a 2-page discussion about it here, including someone's video capture of it on page 1:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/new-document-size-value-resetting-in-adobe-photoshop-illustrator-amp-indesign-2025/m-p/14936407

    Been having the same issue here for a little while. Just been dealing with it, but it's rather frustrating.

    I'm on Windows 10, 22H2, Illustrator 29.2.1 (64-bit).

  7. Conversion from CMYK to Grayscale is wrong

    Converting CMYK values to Grayscale will not give the expected result. C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converts to 100% Grayscale in a CMYK document.
    The same C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converted to R: 92 G: 81 B: 76
    in an RGB document it converts to 67,16% Grayscale, which looks more like the expected Gray value.

  10. Layer duplication

    Hello,

    I have asked why JavaScript was not showing a layer that I know exists here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-sdk-discussions/how-to-show-hide-single-layers-in-browser-with-javascript/m-p/15103693#M93768

    Working with Thom Parker it was determined that the failure to show a layer was due to multiple layers. In that thread, I discuss a work around that prevents Illustrator from creating multiple layers such that only single layer instances are saved and thus JavaScript shows and hides layers.

    Previously, when adding a PDF as a graphic element to FrameMaker or InDesign I would get a "Layers don't match" error. This had no effect and so I never looked into it, until now…

  12. Missing fonts warning when no fonts are missing

    Every time I open any illustrator document, the missing fonts box shows up telling me all of the fonts are missing, but when I click replace fonts, they don't show as missing any more and there's no issue. This is a really annoying bug.

  13. v29.2.1 image export (JPG & PNG) anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" not working

    v29.0.1
    Export image (JPG/PNG) w/ anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on, images are perfect!

    After updating to v29.2.1
    Anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on -> not working

    macOS v15.2 (Mac mini M2 Pro)
    Illustrator v29.2.1

    Morning v29.0.1, then update to v29.2.1 this afternoon. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware problem. so i downgrade to v29.0.1. image export works perfect again.

  15. Edit Toolbar menu gets hidden when a toolbar is too close to the bottom edge of the screen

    If you have a custom toolbar and it’s positioned too close to the bottom of your screen, and you press the Edit Toolbar button — the portion of the 'drawer' with all the tool icons is positioned from the top of the toolbar, and it’s bottom half is missing... you can’t move it, scroll it, reach to the icons hidden — you have to close it, move the toolbar, and start editing it again.

    Please position this 'dropdown menu' in a way it’s seen in full, or resized to fit into the screen, no matter where the toolbar is on…

  16. Align to key object doesn't work properly

    Mac Studio 2022 Apple M1 Max - 64Gb memory
    Mac OS Sequoia 15.1
    Illustrator (Middle East) 29.2.1

    Alignment to key object SOMETIMES doesn't work as expected. I cannot figure out which are the specific cases.
    When dealing with text boxes there is no difference between Roman Hanging punctuation ON or OFF.
    I numbered the screenshots according to the issue.

    1. TWO TEXT BOXES:
      I'm right aligning my text box to another text box. It right-aligns it to the right border of the selected text box with small margin (in this case 0,26mm). The right border of the text box is shifted…

  17. Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct

    In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

  18. Illustrator Beta Font Selection Panel Disappearing Problem

    When the pop-up font preferences panel opens, which is an easy selection area, the window that opens to select a font disappears when hovering over it with the mouse. The font preference preview panel closes before making a selection. It occurred after the last update.

  20. Recent section in New Document dialog is empty with the newest update

    Latest updates cause a problem when creating a New File. The history of past artboard sizes is being wiped out on startup leaving only preset formats to choose from. I do not use any of those, I often use a 50"x100" to design in and would just click on it when needed in the large pane. There is now not even an option to customize the new file unless you choose one of the useless presets and modify it, this slows down production and is annoying as ****. This appeared in the update yesterday and is still there today- I…
