  1. Copying and Constraining using keyboard shortcuts (Opt/Shift) is causing error sound

    This version of Illustrator (26.1) on MacOS Monterey 12.3 is sporadically having problems with taking an object and using keyboard shortcuts to copy/constrain (option/shift). At seemingly random times when trying to copy an object with option held down or option/shift held down and dragging the object with the mouse, I am getting the error noise and then a rejection of what I was trying to do. It happens frequently throughout my workflow, but I'm not sure exactly what is triggering it. Sometimes I get the error noise when simply dragging an object around the artboard, but again seems totally random.

  2. Illustrator changing color values every time I reopen program v 26.0.2

    I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm using illustrator from the cloud version 26.0.2 on Mac Monterey v 12.1. Every time I close out a file and reopen it the hex colors are changed. I have never touched the setting on my colors. I've attached an example below. You can see that when I was previously working in the file I listed the hex code, but now when I open it it is different. Please help. This is making my branding impossible and I'm turning in projects incorrectly as a result.

  3. Illustrator won't let me save

    Whether I open an existing ai file or start a new, when I got to save the document, it opens up the save menu however then it doesn't allow me to click on any section, not even the side menu to desktop, and you can see the save button is greyed out? Please can you provide a solution?

  4. テキストをアピアランス分割+アウトラインした際、線の太さが変わる

    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    macOS Catalina 15.7
    Illustrator  2022(26.0.3)

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1 テキストに対し、アピアランスパネルで「線」を追加。
    2 線に任意の太さと色を設定。
    3 アピアランスパネルで パスの変形→変形→拡大・縮小を任意の数値に設定。
    4 テキストを選択し、オブジェクト→アピアランスを分割
    5 テキストを再度選択し、書式→アウトラインを作成 を実行。

    想定していた結果
    見た目そのままの状態でアウトライン文字になる

    実際の結果
    アウトライン文字になるが、線の太さが変わる

    文字のアウトラインを先に実行すると別のアピアランスが作用して違う見た目になってしまうため、現状「拡大・縮小をしない」しか回避手段がありません。
    Illustrator バージョン26.1でも同じ結果になります。

    よろしくお願いします。

  5. 別名保存後にJPG書き出しした際、JPGのタイトルが別名保存前の名称になる

    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    macOS Catalina 15.7
    Illustrator 26.0.3(2022)

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1 aiデータを開く(ファイル名 1.ai)
    2 別名保存する(ファイル名 2.ai)
    3 JPG書き出しをする(ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式→ファイル形式:JPG)
    4 保存されたJPGをFinderの「情報を見る」で情報を開く

    想定していた結果
    ファイル名、タイトル共に「2」となる

    実際の結果
    タイトルが別名保存する前の名前「1」となる

    業務のワークフローで、
    aiデータをJPG書き出し→フォトショップのドロップレットでPDF変換→
    PDFにキーワードをタグとして付与しフォルダに集める→必要な時にFinder上で検索
    という手順を行っています。

    PDFにする際、JPGのタイトルがそのままPDFのタイトルとなるようで、検索の際にタイトルでもヒットするため関係ないファイルも検索されてしまい困っています。Acrobatでタイトルの変更ができますが、ファイルの最終更新日時が変わってしまうので可能な限り避けたいです。

    数年前から同じような現象が起きているので、以前のバージョンから発生しているかもしれません。

    よろしくお願いします。

    OS でのファイル情報の「詳細情報」は、ファイルのメタデータのタイトルが参照されます

    Illustrator では「ファイル > ファイル情報...」メニューを選択し、ファイルのメタデータを設定変更できます。


    書き出しファイルにも、このメタデータが使用されますので、Illustrator の「ファイル情報」メニューで変更したメタデータのタイトルが、OS のファイル情報の詳細情報に反映されるかご確認ください。

  6. Holding alt to make the Width tool only change one side of a brushed path snaps the other side to zero.

    1. Draw a path. Give it a simple, thick stroke.
    2. Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side stays the same width.
    3. Draw a new path. Give it an art brush or pattern brush.
    4. Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side suddenly snaps to zero-width.

    I would swear the Width tool used to behave as in step 2 on brushed paths? It'd be nice to get this reversion fixed. Or to make the Width tool behave consistently across different kind…

  9. Illustrator not effectively handling Windows Desktop Magnification

    I have been having so many problems with Illustrator lately and just now realized that it is because of my UltraWide monitor and the fact that I have Windows Magnification set to 200%.

    This is not being handled well in Illustrator. It's making the active area around a selected item way too big. I can be 100px off of the selected item and it still wants to rotate. I try to select a point and it's nearly impossible. If you look at all of the "tolerance" bug reports, I would be willing to bet they all deal with magnification levels…

  10. Please Fix: Function "create outline" unpredictably results in pixel error

    Converting a path by the "create outline" function unpredictably results in pixel errors. See pictures:
    Pic1.: Path object in pixel preview. Position is correct.
    Pic2.: Result after applying "create outline" function.
    Position of outline path is wrong in fourth place after comma leading to a grey fragment. The only solution is to repair every outline in a very time consuming process. In my view is a critical error when trying to work pixel perfect. Please solve this issue!

  11. Artboard name problem when exporting

    When exporting files in image format the name of the first artboard aways differs from that of its subsequents, being outputed as "Untitled_Artboard 1" instead of "Untitled-01".

    Given that every modification must be done "by hand", it turns out to be very exhausting.

  12. Illustrator keeps oversaturating the color space even though modes/swatches are set correctly.

    When opening a file (usually with photography), illustrator will oversaturate all the colors regardless of color settings. Everything will be set to consistent CMYK settings but the colors show up so saturated and it's impossible to work in that space.

  14. Illustrator 2021 and 2022 Zoom not working correctly after OS update to Monterey

    Like the title says, after update to Monterey.... when using Illustrator 21 or 22 when zooming into an object, either vector, tiff, eps on the document the screen goes gray about 150% to 300%. I have reset many things, GPU.... reset preferences, colors, overprint off and on.... nothing seems to correct it. This happened Only after going from Big Sur to Monterey. Attached is a screen shot at 100% zoom, then the same art at 300%. The art is all vector, that really doesn't matter, vector and images act the same when zooming. Another screen shots on another job at…

  18. Illustrator selecting Folder name and renaming file when saving into Folder

    When saving an Illustrator file - and InDesign also - I click the name of the folder that file is to go into and the filename changes to that folder's name. Why is this happening? Why was this not found when debugging these very expensive applications before throwing them at subscribers and hoping they will work? Really not professional. We pay far too much money for stupid things like this to happen. Needs to be fixed immediately. InDesign also.

  19. Very Slow

    I just updated my MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019) to OS Monterey 12.2.1 and my Illustrator is CS 26.0.3. It is very difficult to use my files from last week. The cursor sits there spinning the beach ball, I'm seeing artifacts and artwork disappears, I can't even drag a simple pattern tile across my page. I use slightly complex artwork year in and year out as a product designer. But with the most current Mac update, something went wrong. I've rebooted, cleared my cookies, all the usual things. Please help!

  20. New File Preset Details Fields Are Misaligned Vertically (Cut off)

    When creating a New File, the measurement presets (width, height, bleed) are too high within their respective input fields. This causes the digits in each of the fields to be cut off at the top. I've attempted to resolve the issue by scaling the window, updating Illustrator, deleting preferences, and installing/reinstalling the application. Issue unresolved.
