"Legacy text" warning when opening a file with Illustrator 2026, created in Illustrator 2026
- macOS 15.7
- Illustrator 30.1
- Created large posters in Illustrator 30.1 including Japanese type. Was later asked to make A4 size versions of them. Reduced entire contents of individual A1 posters so they would fit on A4 pages, copied, pasted to a new multi-artboard file. Saved and closed. Opened the file next day, again using Illustrator 30.1, and was greeted with "This file contains text created in an older version of Illustrator. Updates in the text layout may have caused changes in some character positions, or line breaks." The preview showed there is actually no text reflow or change in spacing whatsoever. Opened the same file using Illustrator 29.8.3 and no problems or warnings. I'll have to avoid working in Illustrator 2026 (v. 30.1) and revert to Illustrator 2025 (v. 29.8.3) until this is fixed.

This is odd... Please package the test document (or the original one, if you can’t reproduce it in a newly created one) with the fonts included (if the license allows this) and either share the archive here in a comment (if you are OK with it being public), or send directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case please mention the link to this particular report, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50801117 —for tracking it back here).
