  1. Memory error after exporting in EPS (ID -108)

    On Illustrator 30.6 every time I export a multipage file to eps format, every artboard as a single file, the file exported are ok, but if I return to the original AI file to save the changes I receive a memory error (see the screenshot) then is not possible to save the AI file no more, and I have to use the SAVE AS command to save a new AI document from the original.

  3. Adobe Illustrator 2026 Crashes with Uncompressed TIFF (Compression: None)

    Dear Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    I am reporting what appears to be a compatibility regression or TIFF parsing issue that causes Adobe Illustrator to crash consistently when opening documents containing specific TIFF images saved with Compression = None (Uncompressed TIFF).

    Adobe Illustrator 2026 on Windows
    Standard TIFF, no compression
    Interleaved (RGBRGB) pixel order
    IBM PC (Little Endian) byte order

    Illustrator crashes immediately when opening or placing TIFF files saved without compression.

    The same files become fully functional after being re-saved using LZW compression, without any changes to image content, dimensions, color mode, bit depth, or metadata.

    This behavior strongly suggests…

  4. Saving as SVG changed in 30.5.1 and no longer respects artboard

    Beginning with version 30.5.1 (apparently), the full size of the artboard is no longer used when saving to SVG, but instead the bounds are reduced to fit the artwork. This is breaking my workflow with tools used downstream where I need the fixed sized artboard that I'm using. I reverted to version 30.4, and the problem went away.

  5. New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines

    This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)

    Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

  6. 書き出し時の同名ファイルの警告が出ない

    png、jpgでの書き出しのとき、すでに同じファイル名がある場合に警告メッセージが出なくなり、そのまま上書きされてしまいます。
    上書きの警告メッセージの出し方、またはそれ自体が無くなったのであれば、改善していただきたいです。ver30.5.1です。
    ちなみに、ネットでいろいろ調べると「環境設定」に「書き出し」があるとか出てくるのですが、その書き出し自体の項目も無くなっています。

  8. Exporting To SVG Format

    Illustrator 30.2.1 has a consistent SVG exporting bug. I created some images containing gradients. When I export to SVG the first time, AI will create a correct SVG file. However, subsequent exports, AI will leave out all gradients. If I close the file and reopen it, the cycle repeats.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Document Raster Effects settings not being honored on all affected objects

    Illustrator 30.1 on MacOS 14.6.1

  12. Dragging a guide with Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode enabled makes black or cyan edges appear for all objects

    I'm not sure if this is a possible feature, if so please let me know for what I can use it. Otherwise I would like to report it.

    For example the following explanation:
    I place some retangles on the artboard. Two objects get a color filling and the third one is filled with white. I use a ruler on one of the colored objects. When I drag the same ruler again, the white object appears and all object have a black stroke. When I drag a second ruler the white object does not appear. If I grab the second ruler…

    The team has identified an issue for a small subset of users who are on the Windows operating system and also have their network traffic routed through a proxy.

    A temporary solution to this issue is the following:

    1. Open up PowerShell
    2. Copy and paste the following commands:
    cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2026"$env:WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS = "--use-system-proxy-resolver"& '.\Illustrator.exe'
  15. Gradient panel bug

    I can't scroll in the Gradient panel like in the Libraries panel where i can see the other options or like the Properties panel when there's more options, but the space is not enough, but you can scroll so you can see the rest. And also the little panel where you can see the default styles of gradients is taken so much space and you can't minimize that space, that could be good, or just leave a line where you can see a limited or recent styles chosen but then you can click so it expands and shows you the…

  16. Missing fonts with asterisk still appear in Illustrator font menu — even after cache cleanup

    Illustrator keeps showing missing fonts with an asterisk (*) in the font menu, even when those fonts are no longer installed or active.

    This happens even in new blank documents and after multiple attempts to clean caches and reset preferences.

    It makes the font list cluttered and hard to navigate, especially for users who work with many typefaces.

    Please consider adding an option to hide missing fonts from the font menu, or improve the way Illustrator handles font references and cache rebuilding.

    This issue has been affecting productivity and font management for a long time.

  18. Not Getting "Overwrite notification" when exporting using "File/Export/Export as..."

    This only started happening recently and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Whenever I export a file using the "Export as..." feature, I'll navigate to the location where it was previously exported and click the "Export" button. I used to get an overwrite notification asking if I wished to do so and I'd just click yes or no. Now, for some reason, that notification isn't triggering and Adobe Illustrator is just overwriting. I tried using Windows Explorer to copy and paste a file to the same location, and Windows "does" give the standard notification to confirm overwrite.…

  19. Spell check error - changes language to Bulgarian

    Spell Check starts in English for the first few then always changes to Bulgarian! This renders spell check absolutely useless, unless I happen to type in Bulgarian... which I haven't had the need to so far.
