  2. Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.

    There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.

    This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.
    Gif was recorded using the latest version, 30.2.1.

  3. Transparency Lost in After Effects When Importing v30 AI Files

    Transparency Information Lost When Importing Illustrator v30 AI Files into After Effects 2026

    Environment:
    - Hardware: MacBook Pro 16-inch (November 2023), Apple M3 Pro, 36GB RAM
    - OS: macOS Sequoia 15.7.4
    - Illustrator version with issue: v30.2.1 (2026)
    - Illustrator version without issue: v28.7.10 (2024)
    - After Effects version: 2026

    When an .ai file saved in Illustrator 2026 (v30) is imported as footage into After Effects 2026, transparency information — including blend modes, opacity settings, and effects such as drop shadows — is lost or ignored. Affected layers render as fully opaque.

    Re-saving the identical artwork in Illustrator 2024 (v28.7.10)…

  4. PDF/X-4 Export Produces Non-Compliant PDFs in Illustrator v30.2.1

    In v28, when exporting PDF/X-4 via an Action or script, inserting a "Convert to Working CMYK" step into the workflow allowed consistent production of PDF/X-4 compliant files with no preflight errors.

    In v30, following the exact same workflow with identical files and the same preset now produces non-compliant PDFs. Acrobat preflight reports two distinct errors that did not occur in v28.

    Preflight Error #1 — Placed image ICC profile conflict:
    "CMYK source profile is the same as the PDF/X output intent destination profile (201 occurrences, 2 pages)"

    Cause: Placed PSD files have Japan Color 2001 Coated embedded as an ICC…

    We are aware of a scenario this happens but it was reproducible in 28.x as well. If the Document Color Profile and Output Intent Color profile are different then we observe this issue. Please confirm the color settings you have used and also share the test file to sharewithai@adobe.com to validate the above case.


    In the above case, assigning the document color profile to "Japan Color 2001 Coated" produce a compliant PDF/X file. Please try this workaround and let us know.

  6. ファイルのアクセス権が起動時に必ず求められる

    Mac版についてになります。
    アプリの起動を行うと、まず初めに

    「Adobe Illustrator 2026から、他のアプリからのデータへのアクセス権を求められています。」
    という確認ポップアップが、表示されるようになりました。

    Macの設定にある、「セキュリティ、プライバシー」のファイルアクセスなどに関する権限をみたところ、追加がされていませんでした。
    (なお、PremiereやPhotoshopは追加されていました)
    残念ながら、Mac上では対象アプリを追加することができないようになっており、これらの対応策が見つからない状態になりました。

    同様の現象などで回避策をお持ちでしたらご教示ください。

  7. BUG: Swatch color not changing with selection of different element.

    When selecting individual elements in my .ai file, the swatch bar does not show the actual color. Instead, it shows the previously selected color.

    Something changed - you used to be able to select an element and easily determine which color it was. This glitch is a major problem - as I'm trying to prep my files for print and a small error will be quite costly.

    Instead, I have to double-click the "fill" color in the top of the swatch bar to open up the cmyk build

  8. Add Used Colors command in Swatches ignores colors from Repeat objects

    Repeat Objects are strange objects.

    If we choose Add Used Color, color from the repeat object are ignored.

    Another problem is that Select All Unused in Swatches selects colors used in Repeat objects: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51093643

  9. Select All Unused in Swatches selects colors used in Repeat objects

    Repeat Objects are strange objects.

    If colors are only inside a repeat object, using Select All Unused will select the swatches even when use in the repeat object.

  10. Font explorer dropdown from the Character section in Properties panel is obscured by other panels with 2 columns of docked panels

    Running 30.2.1

    When the new Character panel is open and font has been selected, the panel is now so big that it becomes obscured if I open a property on the second panel, so I cannot make further font adjustments without closing the second panel.

    It seems the properties panel process is selective for some properties and not for others, e.g., Transform opens in both panels, whereas Appearance does not. The UX seems inconsistent. Something feels off.

  11. Dashed strokes with round caps and zero dash lengths (dotted dash) looks very imprecise when using Large Canvas, with GPU Preview

    A 1 pt stroke with 0 dash length, when created within a large canvas file, looks chewed. When expanded, the points get baked like this.
    CPU Preview shows these correct, but expanding it still creates dancing points.
    Doesn’t happening in a normal canvas sized docs.

    Large canvas should become stable finally. So many bugs with it!

  14. Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool

    Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.

    This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

  15. Illustrator slow and laggy with text

    When I'm trying to edit a text box, illustrator turns very slow and laggy. With a simple text box. When I try to change font size, or writting, it takes ages to assume it. And the document turns very slow.

    Please help with this issue

  16. Join tool creates bezier curves on straight lines

    Windows 11 Home, 25H2
    Adobe Illustrator, v29.8.4

    I connect straight lines together with the Join tool. In those corners I expect the lines to be straight lines on both sides of the node, but in some places I get Bezier curves. I really don't want that as this forces me to go over every node that was formed.

    The next issue is that during the Join tool process it adds one node (always only one for some reason). I then have to localize it and delete it. That's very frustrating.

    Plus I want a way to I want a way…

    This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

    However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

    • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
    • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
    • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.
  18. Swatches panel not correctly displaying "Registration Black" swatch label, showing random characters, in a template file

    Opening up a company template .ait file and Swatches panel not displaying "Registration Black", but instead showing random characters. Wanted to know cause, if can be prevented, and/or corrected. Also if this is just some odd bug.

    We do have a central server location to access file since we do have in-office and remote workers. Everyone is instructed though regardless of location to grab files and work locally, but can not guarantee that this is done 100% of the time.

  20. W-Hの数値がリンクアイコンがアクティブなのにリンクしない

    Illustrator ver.28 以降
    macOS14.7.2

    再現手順
    1. Illustratorを起動して、新規ドキュメントを開き、アートボード上に矩形を描く。
    2. コントロールバーのWをクリックしてパネルを展開する。
    3. Wの欄に数値を入力し、タブキーでHに移る。
    4. リンクアイコンがアクティブになっているにも関わらずWとHの数値がリンクしない。親元のコントロールバーでは正常にリンクしている。

    期待する結果
    リンクアイコンの表示どおりWとHの値がリンクする。

    実際の結果
    片方の入力にもう一方が追随しない。

    代替の手順。
    数字を入力する前にアクティブになっているリンクアイコンをクリックしてオフにし、再度クリックしてリンクをアクティブにする。
    起動後1度だけこの手順を行うと以降は正常に動作する。

    [EN]
    Step to reproduce
    1. Launch Illustrator, open a new document, and draw a rectangle on the artboard.
    2. Click W on the Control Bar to expand the transform panel.
    3. Enter a value in the W field and press Tab to move to H.
    4. Despite the link icon being active, the W and H values do not link. They link correctly in the parent Control Bar.

    Expected Result
    W and H values link as indicated by the link…

    The issue seems to visible at our end after closing the Illustrator and reopening the file. However, it is just the value does not get updated in the pop up panel. The transformation change on the object happens fine and is reflected properly in the properties panel as well. Let us know if you are experience similar behavior or not.
