  1. 文字が欠ける原因を知りたい

    Adobe イラストレーターからPDFに変換する場合、CubeとMicrosoft PDFでは正常に変換できますが、イラストレーターで「別名で保存する」でAdobe PDFを選んで変換すると、写真のように文字が欠けてしまいました。今までも長い間同じ方法でやっていたのですが、今回、こんな現象が現れました。対処の仕方を教えてください。

  2. Scroll wheel crash

    Logitech MX Master 2S mouse scroll wheel has stopped functioning in latest versions of AI. Currently hanging and crashing.
    Latest Windows, Latest AI. Latest nvidia driver.
    Asuswrx90, AMD7965, 256 QVL RAM, 5090Founders, Samsung 9100 m2 OS/CACHE/Storage drives
    Expected: smooth scroll
    Actual: App hangs for 2 seconds.
    GPU accelleration settings on or off make no difference.
    I suspect it is a logitech driver issue but a basic bit of mouse functionality in very very common hardware should not be happening.

  4. Free Transform resets frame after each use

    If it was the only problem... Have you ever tried to "free transform" an object like you can do it with Photoshop in a breeze ? Free Transform tool (Free Distort) resets the handles to the rectangular bounding box after each handle drag! Super convenient to adjust a deformation! But did Adobe internally have the distortion tools proposed in Illustrator tested? there are 3 or 4 but all are tedious to use and very incomplete. Please, Adobe, put all this in the trash and replace these useless things with a single tool effective and intuitive... exactly like the "free transform"…

  6. Illustrator crashes when triggering an action to flip an object horizontally or vertically.

    I think I’ve finally narrowed this down!
    I’ll cut to the chase:

    • macOS Sonoma 14.7.5
    • Illustrator v30.2.1

    • Custom Action #1: Transform Panel > Flip Horizontal
    • Custom Action #2: Transform Panel > Flip Vertical

    Triggering Actions #1 or #2 with the play button in the Actions Panel - or a hotkey linked to the action - is successful if:
    • The Transform Panel is open in a Panel and is the Active Tab
    • The Transform Panel is completely closed (triggering the actions then open the Panel floating somewhere in the workspace)

    Triggering Actions #1 or #2…

  7. Offset Path creates notches

    Certain paths with certain Offset Path values create these.
    Usually it’s a rather small value, but this sometimes happens with larger ones.

    There are other related problems with Offset Path:
    1. Stroke displaying incorrectly and Offset Path broken — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/39059872
    2. Offset Path with small values (or Inside / Outside strokes) results in skewed lines — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/39425959

  8. Hitting Down with an artboard selected in Artboards panel now moves it on canvas instead of in the list

    In the newest update, if I have an artboard highlighted in the panel and I hit the down arrow, it used to go down the artboard list. But now it nudges the actual artboard.
    I acknowledge that nudging artboards could maybe be useful for something (though I can't think of what) but being able to navigate the list with arrows is much more valuable in my opinion.

  9. 複合パス化するとグラデーションストップが大きく移動する

    Environment
    Illustrator ver.27 or later
    macOS 14.7.2/iMac(Intel i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD)

    グラデーションを適用した複数のオブジェクトに一度にグラデーションツールでグラデーションを定義したものを複合パス化するとグラデーションストップが大きく変化する。

    再現手順
    1. 矩形を3点、横に並べて塗りに対してグラデーションを適用する。
    2. グラデーションツールで3点の矩形に対して左右のエッジに始まりと終わりのグラデーションストップが来るように調整する。
    3. 3点の矩形を複合パス化する。
    4. グラデーションストップの終端側が大きく移動する。

    期待する結果
    複合パス化してもグラデーションの状態は変化しない。

    実際の結果
    複合パス化するとグラデーションストップの位置が大きく変化する。

    代替処理
    複合パス化したあと、再度グラデーションツールで調整を行う。

    グラデーションの向きが水平・垂直の場合、終端側が大きく位置が変化します。それ以外の角度の場合、両端のグラデーションストップが移動します。

    Applying a gradient to multiple objects simultaneously using the Gradient Tool and then converting them into a compound path causes significant changes to the gradient stops.

    Steps to reproduce
    1. Arrange three rectangles horizontally and apply a gradient to their fills.
    2. Use the Gradient Tool to adjust the three rectangles so the start and end gradient stops align with their left and right edges.
    3. Convert the three rectangles into a…

  10. When relinking images, one of the images appears as their original sizing and not the size of the image being replaced, just on new update

    When relinking multiple images, one of the image appears as their original sizing and not the size of the image being replaced, This is just after receiving the new update (I do this everyday). This is not always true, sometimes it works fine. but most of the time it doesn't. I'm using Mac.

  11. Renaming an artboard in Artboards panel scrolls to have the item on top

    The way it works in the newest update is infuriating.
    In the newest update, when I change the name of an artboard in the Artboards panel, the panel automatically scrolls to have that item at the top. I keep losing my place in the Artboards panel and I can't keep track of what I'm doing. I don't see a benefit of the list jumping around all the time. It's horrific to work with.

  12. Selected Fill Color/Stroke is stuck to one color and won't change.

    Hello! I'm using MacOS, and I'm on Illustrator 2026. When I was trying to change the fill gradient of my font, I ran into a glitch where the colors would not change. It's stuck to the original color I had originally. When trying to change the fill color, it changes on the interface but not when I draw. I've tried exiting out of Illustrator but it's still stuck. Even when adding text, it's stuck on black instead of yellow/any other color and it won't change.

  13. PDF with negative values for BleedBox, MediaBox shows incorrectly

    A PDF with negative values for the lower left corner of BleedBox, MediaBox and a TrimBox that has its lower left corner at (0,0) shows differently in Illustrator and Acrobat. Acrobat (and other PDF viewers) show the contents as expected, in Illustrator the content seems shifted.

    The attached example PDF has three different pages, the first two pages look as expected, the last page (with the negative values) does not look the same in Illustrator and Acrobat.

  14. Changing the Japanese font in the Type tool does not update it.

    macOS Tahoe 26.2
    Adobe Illustrator (Desktop version) 30.2.1

    Changing the Japanese font in the Type tool does not update it.
    This occurs even when "Enable missing glyph protection" is initially set to OFF and no other settings are changed.

    This does not occur in macOS Vetura13.7.8

  15. Blue share circle is misplaced under the icon

    This blue circle is very distracting and It just looks super weird. I don't know if you guys purposely did this or if it's a UI glitch with the latest update, but if you guys can get this fixed asap it would be helpful. It's SUPER distracting while trying to focus in on work.

  16. Text copied from web paste white but swatch says its black

    Since version 30.1 anytime i paste text into a file, the text will past white instead of black like it use too. All swatch areas say it is black but the text will be white. This has gotten pretty annoying because everytime i paste in text i have to change the color of it.

  18. SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. Works in earlier versions (tested in 2024)

    SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. I can open them in Illustrator 2024, and paste them into 2026. But opening the file in 2026 results in a totally blank artboard. Perhaps the parse is broken? Something got worse between these versions...

  19. Compatibility Issue in Illustrator v30.2 - PostScript Error <a1a1>

    Critical Update: This issue is not limited to specific files. Every single file saved or exported from version 30.2 encounters the same <a1a1> error, even when the document contains only a simple primitive shape (e.g., a single rectangle). This indicates a systemic failure in the PostScript generation engine of the v30.2 build on my system.

    Description
    Since updating to Adobe Illustrator v30.2, I have encountered a critical compatibility issue. Even when saving files for lower versions (Legacy formats), recipients are unable to open them. The files trigger a specific PostScript error regardless of how simple the vector data is. This…

  20. Dataset names with decimal values are truncated during Batch Export

    When exporting multiple Data Sets via Actions (PDF/EPS/SVG/JPG/PNG format), if the Data Set name contains a decimal value (for example: “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG”), the exported file name does not retain the full value.
    Instead, the file name is truncated and exported as “Cumin Seeds 1.pdf” rather than “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG.pdf”.

    It appears that Illustrator interprets the period (.) in the dataset name as part of a file extension separator, which results in the decimal value being removed during export.

    This creates workflow issues, especially in packaging and SKU-based production environments where decimal weights such as 1.6 KG, 2.5…
