Importing a page from a multi-page PDF replaces the already imported one
Hi!
Ever since Illustrator 23 when opening a PDF with multiple pages with a document already open, the PDF opens into that open document and changes the artboard. At the same time it also opens a new empty document with the name of the PDF. It does not matter if I use open from the menu or if I use drag and drop... When no other file is open it behaves like it should and opens the PDF correctly.
Please provide a solution...
thanks,
best regards,
Roger

Breaking link of scaled Symbol with "Scale strokes and effects" off will scale Symbol appearance back to original.
Illustrator CC 2018
Windows 10I have put a Symbol on my Artboard, and scaled it to 50% of its original size.
I want to break its link, and maintain its proportional appearance (i.e. stroke width half of original).
If "Scale strokes and effects" is off, stroke sizes are doubled (back to original value). You have to tick it on for it to work as expected.Is this a bug or a feature?
In the attached image, to the left is the Symbol (at 50% scale) broken with tick on, to the right off.

BRING BACK FUNCTIONALITY OF ACTIONS
As we all know all too well, the "engineering team" adds to and removes features from AI, apparently completely without considering its effective use or convenience.
Their latest trick: many operations won't record automatically anymore in Actions going from v23 to v24. Please bring that back.
Functions not recorded anymore so far:
– Create text frame
– Cmd/ctrl-0 Fit Artboard in Window
– Save As (including location, file type eg PDF and its settings)
– CloseI you find more please add them to the list.
I'm getting so tired of this ignorant behaviour!

Transparent PNG linked into AI drawing
I've exported transparent PNG's from Photoshop, and I'm trying to work on an Illustrator drawing with them, so I can eventually put them into my InDesign doc. So, I link in a PNG to Illustrator and it decides to read it as though it has a white background. So, naturally, I don't realize this because I'm working on a white artboard until I get into InDesign and the art is blocking the master, leaving me to go back into all my illustrator files to replace a linked file with embedded artwork. What's the point of linking a file if it…

GPU support crashes reproducibly on different Macs (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.x)
The hole GPU support with Illustrator 2021 is broken on the Mac with Big Sur since the release of CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.2.3). GPU support works with a blank document. The GPU support crashes reproducibly: switch on rulers > GPU crashes, open document with guides > GPU crashes, double click on grouped elements > GPU crashes, resize artboard > GPU crashes. Several upates went by without help. Every (!) colleague I have spoken to has struggles with the same bug since the release of Ai 2021. Both of my Macs (iMac i9 with Vega48 & M1…

Align/Distribute issue (v.24.2.3)
Hello,
I've seen that this is claimed that it is fixed on a previous update, but I have the latest (24..2.3) and still have issues.Situation:
4 text layers in a 2nd level subgroup
Selection of three out of four layers and the Align/Distribute is working as expected (align to Selection selected)
Selection of all four layers (or group layer) and the Tool isn't working on 'Align to Selection' basis. It's working correctly as 'Align to Artboard'How am I supposed to align all layers in a Group? The only workaround is to align all layers but one and then…

Will deselect anything that is not visible
Since the last update if you have a long file and want to select a big chink of it everything has to be visible while selecting. Otherwise, if I start dragging from the middle let's say and have to scroll until I get till the end of the document/artboard, everything that went off screen get deselected and I'm only left with the last chunk of content that is visible. Slows down a lot working on web designs when you have to move a big chunk of content around because you've changed something before it.

ILLUSTRATOR IS BROKEN GARBAGE
First of all this bug reporting website is horendious, and I expect nothing less from Adobe who make products that should put them out of business.
Right now in Illustrator 2019 I cannot change the size of a font without stroke appearing on the text, if I turn the stroke off, the font shrinks in size again, now I'm here wasting my precious time typing out the stupidest problem imaginable. Another thing, I have absolutely no idea why when i click the type tool to the artboard there is text that appears automatically... is the paradigm of a blinking cursor…1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

pattern swatches using raster artwork creating glitch
I am using a mac studio, M1 Max chip, Ventura 13.1, and Illustrator 27.1.1. Issue occurs when using GPU view.
I use pattern swatches extensively in my work to create a digital foil effect. My pattern swatches are made from raster images placed into Illustrator. I have been using this for years with no problem and am only experiencing this problem since upgrading my computer and my software.
When I move artwork that uses the pattern swatches, splotches of my pattern appear in my document, sometimes even on my artboard covering my artwork.
This directly interferes with my workflow.

Prefix in graphs
Using a prefix for the axis in a graph works fine, but only with positive numbers. Negative numbers soon get into trouble however. $-50 is not helpful at all.

Tool window won't update content when clicking on a different tab
This bugs seems to come on after a while of everything working normally.
I have multiple windows (e.g. 3 - Character/Paragraph/Open type) grouped together on one panel. When I click on an unfocussed tab to bring that to the front, nothing changes. The content below remains the same.
For example if 'Character' was in focus, and I wanted to access 'Paragraph' options. If I click on the 'Paragraph' tab, I still see the 'Character' options.
See video.
This is also happening with the document tabs too. I click between my open documents and nothing changes on the artboard below.

Previous tool continues after selecting new tool
Over the past few weeks I've noticed that when I switch tools sometimes the characteristics of the previous tool continue rather than it switching to the new tool (but it shows the new tool selected in the Toolbar.
So, for example, if I'm using the Selection Tool and then click on the Direct Selection Tool it shows in the Toolbar that I have the Direct Selection Tool activated and the cursor is the Direct Selection Tool one but the tool behaves like the Selection Tool (i.e. I can't select individual points).
Saving the file seems to fix the issue and…

Cannot view New Files
- Using MacOSX 10.15.5 (19F101), Newest version of Illustrator CC
- Open existing file file, create new file
- EXPECTED: A new file gets created and I can see the artboard and work within the file
- ACTUAL: A new tab opens with "Untitled" but cannot toggle to the new tab, and when attempting to break the new document out of tabs and input any objects (text, shapes, lines, or paste) into the "New" document, it creates/pastes into the first document opened, not the New one I created. Cannot manipulate any "New" document in any capacity with Illustrator, Photoshop, or Indesign (only ones I've…

Units preference not retained on asset panel export
Details of your operating system and version of Adobe Illustrator
Current version of CC on a Microsoft Surface windows 10 proThe steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
It's in both the asset export panel and the export artboard panel. My global preferences are set to inches as well as the originating document.I'm often creating elements then exporting various bits as assets. So the asset export panel is handy for this. I could just copy and past into a new document and "save as pdf". It's just a smoother flow for my brain to use the…

Text element with multiple paragraph styles & colors turns white when adding used colors
I have a text element with two paragraphs and have assigned a style to each paragraph. One paragraph style is a different color, for emphasis.
When I go to Swatches (palette) > Add Used Colors, all of the text turns white (invisible against a white artboard) and a swatch named "K=0" is added to the swatches palette. This can be avoided by setting all Paragraph Styles to black or no color and using Character Styles to apply color, but that's not really how the styles are supposed to work.
If the paragraph and character styles ever are fully functional in…

Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files created in the same version WIN 10
Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files. It seams to only affect AI files created in version 24.1.
When attempting to link the AI, illustrator does not generate any preview of the file. It allows the user to follow the placing process but no content is shown when placed on the artboard and also it does not honor the linked file dimensions.
After hitting the "cancel" button on the import tool an error message appears stating Illustrator could not read the ai file.The same file can be linked successfully when saved as a PDF.
The files to be linked sit…1 vote -
clipboard copy bug
I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), the latest OS BigSur 11.2, memory 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, video card Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB. The latest regularly updated version of Illustrator (25.1) and since last year or some I noticed that once in a while there were problems with clipboard memory. Whenever you copy or just select some object on artboard, immediately you get a garbled text box pasted. Very nasty, and after the latest update it has gotten considerably worse. Now I literally cannot simultaneously select several objects without having this garbled block pasted. So I cannot align…
