PNG import broken
Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)

Having same issue. Everything I read isnt helping. I cannot update Illustrator as I have this older computer and cannot update bc of storage issues. Need this to work when paying such high costs for Creative Cloud apps.

Yes. I was happy with 10.14 too.. my iMac is not that new and with 10.14 worked great. Let's see what happens with 10.15. So far not problems at all, but now I can read all my files correctly and even update to 26x.
May be if there's a way to go back to a previews illustrator version will solve it. In my case, the problem was created exactly when I updated AI to 25.4.8 (the latest compatible with 10.14x) Don't know how to go back to previews versión, but may be there's a way.
Good luck -

I updated to OSX 10.15x and the problem of PNG files was solved in Illustrator 25.4..8. In my case was caused by a DxfDxwFileFormat.aip not loading because in the last update that file was outdated for OSX 10.14x as I was told by Adobe Support. Try updating the OSX and the AI.
