1. Centre Points of all objects are visible when I reopen files

   Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8

   Each time I reopen a file in which I had a mix of objects with either visible or hidden centre points, most of these are visible (at least, those of paths, guides…) and they can get in the way.

   I think this started happening with the new version 30.0 (or maybe just the one before).

   Here are examples of 2 similar files, one with and one without all Centre Points showing.

   The team tried to fix this in Beta 30.1.0.109. The latest one is 30.2.0.12.

   If you can — please try to use Beta and see if no centers will be enabled or disabled when reopening a file. The fix won’t remove those that are already in a document, so we need to to toggle them manually in the Attributes panel.

2. Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only

   This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

   Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

   OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

   Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

   For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

   Basically:

   When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it appears at roughly 1/10th of the intended scale. This can also be replicated by opening the files in Acrobat.

   The same files saved as PDF from Illustrator 2026 open at the correct size in the RIP, and .ai files saved from Illustrator 2025 also open at the correct scale. This suggests the problem is specific to the Illustrator 2026 .ai format for large artboards.

   Steps to reproduce:

   On a Mac Studio (M1 or M2) running macOS Sequoia, open Adobe Illustrator 30.0 (2026).

   Create a new document with a large artboard (52x300).

   Add some content.

   Save the file as a native .ai file (Illustrator 2026 default format).

   Open the saved .ai file in Onyx (RIP software) or Adobe Acrobat.

   Compare the size reported by Acrobat or Onyx (or measured within the RIP) to the original artboard / artwork dimensions in Illustrator.

   For comparison:

   From the same Illustrator 2026 document, Save As → PDF with default or standard print settings.

   Open the PDF in Onyx or Acrobat and check the size.

   Repeat the same test using Adobe Illustrator 2025, saving an .ai file with the same artboard dimensions, and open that .ai in Onyx or Acrobat.

   Expected result:

   The .ai file saved from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) should open in Acrobat and Onyx at the exact same scale and dimensions as defined in the Illustrator document (matching the large artboard size).

   The size reported in the RIP should match the Illustrator artboard (just as it does with Illustrator 2025 .ai files and 2026 PDFs).

   Actual result:

   Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files with large artboards open in Acrobat and Onyx at approximately 1/10th of the correct scale.

   The same artwork:

   Opens at the correct scale as a PDF exported from Illustrator 2026.

   Opens at the correct scale when saved as .ai from Illustrator 2025.

   So the incorrect scaling appears specific to 2026 .ai files + large artboards.

   Scope / notes:

   Issue has been reproduced by multiple users in our environment, all on M1/M2 Mac Studios.

   Affected OS: macOS Sequoia (and likely the previous macOS version on some machines; behavior appears consistent across both).

   The common factor is Illustrator 30.0 (2026) + large artboard .ai.

   PDF workflow works fine, as does Illustrator 2025, which is our current workaround, but we prefer to send native .ai files to the RIP, and we use the large artboards extensively.

   I would upload example files, but .ai files are apparently an invalid file type to upload here.

   This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

   Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

   OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

3. Documents preview not updated properly in Indesign

   When I save an Illustrator file, import it into Indesign, then make changes to the file, save it again and update the link in Indesign, some parts are not updated in the preview (see attached image). This doesn't happen every time, seemingly at random.

   I have resolved this by first saving as an older version and then again as latest version, but that's not a real solution.
   Somebody told me to uncheck 'Save in background' in settings, this also solved the problem but again, is not a real solution.

   I have this problem simultaneously with the (already known) problem where Indesign shows all object layers of all artboards when viewing/hiding specific object layers.

   I'm using Illustrator 30 on Sonoma.

5. Acrobat layers duplicate excessively in AI file’s compatible PDF

   Illustrator 2025 (29.8.2)

   When “Save in Background” is enabled, the Acrobat layers in the compatible PDF within AI files duplicate according to the number of artboards. For example, when there are 10 artboards and 2 layers, there should be 2 Acrobat layers, but instead 20 layers are generated.

6. When moving object it counts as hundreds of inputs, filling the history

   When you move an object with the mouse, it seems to consider each pixel or so it moves as an individual input, so if you just quickly drag something, your history is completely filled and it is impossible to undo enough to undo the single move. It also shows up as 'Undo' in the history tab rather than 'move' - only the final one is considered 'move'.

7. Illustrator no longer keeping custom layer colors. Layer colors revert to black

   In recent Illustrator builds, custom layer colors applied to layers are not being saved with the document. When reopening the file, all layers that used custom colors revert to black, regardless of the original assignments. Default layer colors still persist correctly.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   Create a new Illustrator document.
   Add multiple layers.
   Assign custom RGB colors to the layers (not from the default layer color list).
   Save and close the document.
   Reopen the document.

   Expected Result:
   Layers retain the custom colors assigned to them.

   Actual Result:
   All custom-colored layers revert to black, while default colors are preserved.

   Impact:
   This breaks workflows that depend on a standardized layer color scheme (e.g., manufacturing, prepress, or complex multi-step production). Users can no longer rely on Illustrator to persist custom colors across sessions.

8. Artboards & Content are displaced after saving and opening a file

   After saving & opening a file with multiple art boards, many of the artboards and/or their content is shifted around the canvas. I already tried all kinds things, even creating a new file and copying everything over. The bug happens again and again – and it's unpredictable, sometimes it's just one element, sometimes it's half of all the content.

   Working with Version 29.8.1, the file is in large format mode, Mac OS 25 (latest). Not saving on a cloud synced folder.

   When saving the same file into Adobe Cloud, the bug doesn't seem to occur... at least for the last few times I tried. But actually I don't want to save them there.

   Also, when saving onto hard drive, sometimes a dialog appears that the file was changed outside of Illustrator (which is not true).

   See attached file (blurred): the grey boxes on top come from the artboard on the bottom and the red ones from the artboards below.

9. Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes

   When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.

   Steps to recreate:
   turn off real-time drawing & editing
   select random fill color
   select shape tool
   draw shape

   expected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
   actual result: filled shape is seen during drawing

   I tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).

   There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline as expected.

10. Image Map URL Links Disappear in PDF Export

    Issue occurs in Illustrator 2025 (29.6) and later versions

    Description:
    URL links configured through the Attributes panel’s Image Map feature are not preserved in exported PDFs, despite enabling the “Preserve Hyperlinks” option in PDF export settings.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a new document
    2. Create an object (e.g., rectangle, text, etc.)
    3. Select the object and enter a URL in the Attributes panel → Image Map
    4. Create a new layer above the current layer
    5. Export as PDF with “Preserve Hyperlinks” enabled in export settings
    6. Open the exported PDF in Adobe Acrobat

    Expected Result:
    URL links should be clickable and functional in the exported PDF.

    Actual Result:
    URL links are missing/non-functional in the exported PDF.

    Root Cause:
    This bug occurs specifically when there is an additional layer positioned above the layer containing the object with the image map URL. Objects on layers without overlying layers export hyperlinks correctly.
    The issue occurs even when “Create Acrobat Layers” is unchecked.

    Workaround:
    Merge all layers into one before exporting to PDF.

12. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

    When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

13. GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below

    I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:

    1. Create a simple circle.
    2. Create a simple rectangle.
    3. Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
    4. Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).

    Result:
    The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).

    Additional Notes:

    The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
    Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.
    Changing the color profile or color model did not resolve the issue.
    Deleting Illustrator's preferences folder also had no effect.
    Rolling back to Illustrator 29.5 resolves the issue.
    Apologies for not including a screenshot – I rolled back to 29.5 before capturing one.

    Additional Notes:

    The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
    Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.

14. Pencil tool preview not showing

    Hello, in illustrator 29.4 and 29.5 (on windows 11 pro) I can't preview the path while i am drawing with the pencil tool. I checked all the settings and everything is set to see it. I had to downgrade to illustrator 29.2 to use it again

    Hi All,

    This is fixed and is available now in beta. Please check and share your observations.

15. Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info

    If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.

    I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
    But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.

    If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and press the button in the Color panel... yeah, it won’t work for several of these selected, but that’s another problem.

    Ai Beta now keeps spot and global swatches intact when used in Swatch Info. Changing swatches gets updated on canvas, both in values displayed and the color.

16. Select and Unlock objects on canvas option breaks Direct Selection

    With 'Select and Unlock objects on canvas' enabled (and at least one object locked) Direct selection no longer can move points (and select them with single clicks).

    Seems like this issue was addressed in the latest Beta build 29.6.57. Please try to update and see if it works how it should.

17. Images within opacity masks shift

    When using multiple opacity masks in a file in an earlier version, including 29.31. Opening it in illustrator 29.4 almost all the images used for the masks are repositioned to the center of the page.

    The fix is available in both Beta 27.9 9 and Prerelease 29.6 191 builds. Please try to test it and comment back if it now behaves as expected

18. Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected

    If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.

19. Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator

    Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.

    After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are still not functioning as expected.

    Additionally, resetting Bridge to its default settings restores all .ai file associations to IllustratorDiagnosys 29.3.1.

    It seems that something in the file association preferences was modified, not just affecting Bridge, but the entire system.

20. Eyedropper picks the color of the antialiased edge of a stroke blended with the background instead of the actual stroke color

    Eyedropper requires a ton of precision when picking a color of s stroke.

    Watch the GIF.
    Here I have violet and green lines, drawn above a raster image.

    I’ve mistaken and used green color instead of violet, and now I want to pick it from the existing line.

    I click, precise enough (I hope), but the color picked — the almost correct violet (C74,95 M74,61 — instead of the global 75-75) — is not in the background at all. It’s a BLENDED color of the RENDERED anti-aliased EDGE of the stroke! So Ai secretly rasterizes what it sees and then checks the tolerance, I assume. And the tiniest overlap leads to these cases. And trust me, this happens a lot.

    We can’t trust the tool.
