Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.
I applied a pattern to a stroke by accident and received this error. I'm using v25.0.1 on a PC with 16 gb RAM and a dedicated graphics card.

Exactly the same issue, this is so frustrating. I have High Sierra, working on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro. No issues before the update.

I solved it with reinstalling previous version.

I wonder: Is Adobe testing their software before launching it?

Yep, same, v23 also. Never had this issue before in 20 years! But even on basic files it's happening daily.

Same issue here. I was reading all the messages last week, and I solved my problem with going back on previous version. I will work on that one until they fix this issue.

Exact same issue here. Error happens about every 10 minutes after opening a file. Illustrator is unusable in this condition.

Same issue here. Extremely annoying, I need to restart Illustrator about three times per hour. Not workable. Going back to CC2018.

So disappointing for a such big application that has been released without any bug testing, which affected thousands of users around the world!

After working for a while in Illustrator (perhaps a little under an hour) doing not very taxing graphics, the preview turns off and defaults to outline. Attempts to turn the preview back on fail with an alert complaining that the app has run out of memory. Activity Monitor confirms that Illustrator is using considerable memory, typically well into 2 Gb. Workaround is to save the document, quit and restart.

I just updated Illustrator and somehow while I was working it went into preview mode and I cant get it out. I can change the type of preview but cant get it out of it so I can edit my work

I'm also facing the similar problem "not enough memory" then the preview turns into outline mode. However, I'm able to save the open files. Have to restart the Illustrator to continue my work. Specs of my machine: 13" MacBook Pro Early 2013 + 16GB Ram.
