    Every time Illustrator is opening it is completely restarting my computer for no reason. It might be conflicting with a recent windows update or another program update.

  2. Can an illustrator / photoshop PDF be used as a template to generate PDFs in nodejs (or any other language)?

    I work a lot with generating PDF reports and what I constantly do is:

    Design the pdf in illustrator / photshop
    Lay it out with HTML using a library that changes from HTML to PDF (Using DOMPDF in PHP, html-pdf in nodejs, or a java parser that I can't remember its name).
    Implement it in the system using the variables to be substituted, like any other view (using blade in laravel, handlebars in nodejs, and java iText in Java)
    To which I wonder, is there a way to go from point 1 to point 3? In other words, export a…

  3. Cannot Preview - Mac m1

    Cannot Preview in Illustrator on Mac m1, running Mac OS 11.2.3.
    I just upgraded Illustrator. I have worked on this file for a couple of hours. It is a file with several items and many paths. All of a sudden I lost Preview mode. Even after restarting the computer, I cannot get the preview back on all of these items by using Command Y. I manually turned on eyeballs in the layers pallet, it turned on a couple of items but then warning dialog appeared again. I don't know if this is a bug or my computer gone awry..

  7. Overprint

    Overprints do not show in presentation mode, both overprint attributes and Pathfinder trapping. See attached image shots.
    This is true in both version 25.2.1 (64bit), as well as beta version 25.3.192@232370(64bit) - Windows 10 Home version 1909

  8. Auto Spellcheck Squiggly does not go away when adding a word to dictionary...

    The red squiggly that appears under words when auto-spell check is enabled does not automatically go away when you add the word to the dictionary. If you edit the text somewhere afterwards, it looks like auto spell check is ran again, and only then is the squiggly removed.

  10. If an AI doc is opened, every other AI document pops up

    Mac desktop 11.2.2, AI 25.2. Opening a new AI document, or even just selecting AI, causes documents I've minimized to the Dock to pop up. That's annoying, I minimized them because I want them available but only when I want them. Please give us an option to stop this behavior.

  11. Bug: Newlines become Carriage Returns on Mac

    On Mac this outputs a file with "test1^Mtest2^M"

    f = new File([path]);
    f.open("a");
    f.writeln("test1");
    f.writeln("test2");
    f.close();

    it uses carriage returns which means things like tail -f [path] won't work. Workaround is to use the "BINARY" file encoding

  14. Deleting Files V25.0.1 and V25.1

    When saving, files will randomly be deleted, with and without error messages. There is no way to tell when this is going to happen, and the file is having to be recreated from scratch.

  16. Text edits dont show in GPU mode

    Windows 10 20H2
    Omen 15 Ryzen 7 4800, GTX 1660Ti , 16Ram
    Illustrator 2021

    On going issues since if i remember 2016 or so.

    When GPU is enabled, lots of time when i edit a textframe it wont show the updates. The textframe keeps showing old text, zooming doesnt fix it. Only thing which fixes this is either move the textframe or deactive GPU and restart illustrustrator.

    I first noticed this issue on my old Mac at the office, this cant be updated due to old OS its running. Now i still noticed it on my Windows system running 2021

  19. G-Sync

    I don't understand why, but all Creative Cloud apps get affected by G-Sync. The mouse cursor while using any Creative Cloud app lags severely. But, as soon as you turn off G-Sync, it's smooth as butter.

  20. Point d'ancrage texte ou objet disparait en zoomant en mode tracés

    Il est impossible de travailler correctement avec cette nouvelle fonction où les points d'ancrages (x) d'un texte et d'un objet disparaissent lors du zoom au delà de 140% (mode tracés). Pouvez-vous me confirmer que c'est un bug en vu d'être corrigé ? dans l'attente, merci.
