Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.
I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.
It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!
It does go away when you turn vector…

Illustrator 27.9 introduces severe choppiness when panning with fingers on trackpad rather than Hand tool
When panning with the Hand tool, performance remains intact and panning is smooth. When using trackpad or mouse to move the canvas, frame rate is severely low, 10 fps, even on an empty document. This is a new issue that has existed in the past but had been resolved sometime in the past year or two.
Using a MacBook Pro with M2 Max 38-core GPU running macOS Ventura 13.5.2, the latest as of now.
This issue reduces efficiency and hampers productivity, making it unpleasant to navigate small documents and impossible to navigate large ones with multiple dartboards.
Uninstalling and re-installing…

Font Height settings not working with all-small-cap typefaces
Working in MacOS 13.5.2
Illustrator 27.8.1
When setting type in a Area Type box, the default Font Height is snapping to the x-height of the text, but only when using fonts with small-cap style lowercase letterforms, rather than typical lowercase forms. When using a font with typical lowercase, the Font Height of the box is defaulting to the height of uppercase letters, as expected.
This behavior is happening to fonts installed locally on my system, as well as those activated though Adobe Fonts.
Selecting various settings for the Font Height option in the Character panel does not alter this behavior,…

Insufficient data for an image
Saving as .PDF from .AI gives me this warning if I am using any type of image (.JPG, .PSD, .TIFF, .PSB) over 100MBs. When the PDF starts to open in Acrobat the warning comes up.
Machine: Mac Studio 13.5.1 (22G90)
Illustrator 27.8.1I solved the problem by going back to version 27 and exporting one of the files that I was having issues with.

duplicates all the placed images
Every time I open a document with images I get an alert about images not found, without having moved them since I saved the document and when I locate them again, when the document is opened all the duplicate images appear, and it places them in the center of the document . I attach a screenshot of how duplicate images appear to me

Make Adobe products inclusive for people with vision problems.
It is impossible to change the menu color (make it dark like the rest of the interface) in Illustrator even after editing the registry in Windows 11. Only the Effect menu changes color according to the system settings, the rest (File, Edit, Type etc) remain blinding-white, which is critically bad for people with vision problems.

Horizontal Scroll **** + mouse wheel
On mac OS, Illustrator version 27.8
Scrolling horizontally using SHIFT key + mouse wheel, is broken, and appears to be an obvious mathematical error.
Expected behaviour is for the view to scroll left or right.
Actual behaviour is that is works at some zoom levels, say 300% or 400%, but at higher zoom levels it barely scrolls a few pixels, and at 100% or less, it scrolls the entire page or worse for the smallest increment of the mouse wheel.
It seems clear that the zoom amount has been factored into the scroll amount inversely by accident.
This is a…

直線ツールで線を描画してから、線の色をコード入力すると白になる
（１）塗りと線の色指定をともに「なし」の状態にする。

Black objects in clipping mask are not exported to SVG
Hi,
I created two same artboards with rectangle and text in clipping mask (the mask is important). The only difference is fill of objects – one is black and second red. Then I exported both artboards to SVG using Export for Screens feature (setup attached, but any other setup produces same result). Red version is exported correctly but the black one creates empty SVG file.
I checked SVG code of both files. If the object has any color except of black, code will include fill parameter for each object. But if object is black, code will skip the fill parameter…

Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol
As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176
If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.
For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.
Single Replace works fine.

Illustrator (still) cannot read TIF files.
When can we remedy this? I cannot open or place a TIF file in Illustrator 27.6.1. The error message is the file is an unknown format and can't be opened.
There are reports on this page still open from 2021. When will this be fixed?
I have several TIFs from a museum to lay out for printing and I'm having to individually bring them all in to photoshop and export them as a different format.

OBJECT > EXPAND creates SPIKES in geometry
I use Illustrator to create emboss patterns for production tooling. When delivering my patterns, all geometry must be EXPANDED and represented as real vector lines so that the engravers can mill out the tool.
Recently, when I EXPAND the patterns I make (OBJECT > EXPAND), I'm starting to see random SPIKES in my outlined strokes when using the EXPAND tool in the menu. This problem is reproducible on my machine, but it does appear to be random. Sometimes it does it, and sometimes it doesn't. My vector curve is stroked at 0.03 inches.
This problem is causing CRITICAL delays in…

app.preferences.setIntegerPreference() does not work
app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("rulerType", 0) changes the selection in the GUI but doesn't actually apply the change to the document.
I still have to go into the GUI preferences, change the units to something else, then back to inches and close for the change to actually apply to the current document.

Changing color doesn't work sometimes
This bug goes long way back, as far as I remember using illustrator, both on PCs and Macs.
Sometimes (usually in text objects, but not only), when I pick a different swatch to change an object's color, the color in the swatch palette changes, but the object's color remains the same.
To resolve this, I have to choose "None" as the color, and then choose the color I want.3 votes -
Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!
When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU- Create a new file.
- Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
- Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
- Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
- Try to export the file (Export…

Artboard Snapping is broken when creating a new artboard
If you're creating a new artboard, you can snap the edges of the artboard to previously created artboards.
However, if you hold SHIFT to constrain proportions (handy if you're making social size assets for example), the snapping no longer works, even though you'll still see the snapping points.
Furthermore, when you constrain proportions, the artboard location will be a decimal point, meaning if you Export For Screens, you'll get extra pixels added to your artboard thanks to a different unrelated illustrator bug.
Video attached.
