This file has been modified outside of Illustrator Just like the title says. This is a really annoying problem. It happens every time when I save to Onedrive or when I use Illustrator files from the Google Drive File Stream. This is a long term problem for me and many others. Even tough people mark their problem as solved, it isn't.

Saving error Adobe Illustrator 2020 [24.0.1] When saving an existing ai document that I have made an alt to illustrator keeps giving me a save error.
Illustrator tried, but could not save the file 'file name' Click "Learn more" to try alternate options for saving a file.
If I then use the 'save as' command and save over the top of the existing ai it will save. Illustrator leaves a .tmp file in the same folder as my ai. I may work on the file a few more time re-saving using the 'save' command with no issue and then randomly I will save and we go…

svg export for screens distorted Vectors getting quite distorted creating svgs of logos even with 5 decimal places and no minify. I've had to copy and paste into Sketch then export svgs from there, not ideal at all.

Adobe Illustrator Hidden Layers Show In InDesign When layered files are placed from Illustrator into InDesign, the files in InDesign show the Illustrator hidden layers. If you're not careful, the files can be presented incorrectly. The only fix I have seen is to resave the Illustrator file, then delete and import the image again in InDesign with the layer options selected. Review each layer before confirming the image placement.

Releasing envelope inside AI from smart object from PS crashes AI I have pasted art from AICC2018 as smart object inside PS.
I have saved and closed this art in AI (just in case).Now I double-click smart object inside PS and it AI opens embedded art (not that saved separate file, of course). I select envelope in this embedded art, try to release it and AI crashes.
If I try to open separate saved copy and try to release envelope — it works fine.
If I copy and paste art from embedded file into new file and then try to release envelope —it still works fine.

File size growing increasing bloating Illustrator 22.0.1 (64bit), Windows 10 64bit (latest version), 64GB RAM, 3.5Ghz 12 core CPU, 2x large SSDs
As of last week, I have been encountering an issue with file sizes growing larger and larger each time I save. The file grows even when I only move or even delete objects. The larger the file becomes the more it adds with each save, and the slower it becomes. It’s as though it’s doing something like saving history states (although not in any useful way).
This is a huge problem; the project file I’m currently working on, though modest in complexity (75k…

Missing transparency in placed PDFs I do have issues with Illustrator displaying transparencies of placed PDFs as solid.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a new document.
- Draw two partially overlapping rectangles with different colors.
- Set he opacity of the frontmost rectangle to 50%.
- Save this document as a PDF with setting Illustrator Standard (see attached file).
- Open a second document.
- Place the PDF file.
Expected result:
The topmost rectangle should be displayed with transparency.
Actual result:
The topmost rectangle is not transparent.
If you save the document with the placed PDF itself as PDF file, the rectangle is still transparent, so this is a display issue…

制作したデータを保存する際に、拡張子まで選択される。 Macbook Pro(15-inch.2016)マジック ツールバー搭載モデル
macOS Catalina 10.15.3Illustrator2020/Photoshop2020
制作データを保存しようとすると、ファイル名だけでなく、毎回必ず拡張子まで選択されます。
「別名で保存」「複製を保存」問わず、毎回必ず拡張子まで選択される為、ファイル名を変更しようとすると拡張子まで消えてしまいます。
その都度ファイル名を選択し直してから保存していますが、煩わしくてしかたありません。
この症状はIllustratorだけでなく、Photoshopでも同じ現象が起こります。
他のアプリケーションでは、データを保存する際このような症状は出ません。

Trim Transparent Pixels on PNG Export BROKEN in 24.3 Exporting PNG used to trim out transparent pixels but in Version 24.3 that feature is broken. Exporting PNG results in a file with the dimensions of the object or group INCLUDING transparent pixels.

Jagged edges on placed raster when exported from "Export for Screens" (v24) When I export a JPG from the "Export for Screens" dialog at any resolution (I usually do 300dpi), placed raster graphics have a jagged edge. The same artboard exported at the same resolution with the same anti-aliasing settings using File > Export > Export As turns out nice and smooth.
Note: neither "Type Optimized" or "Art Optimized" settings help. Resetting AI preferences did not help.
Operating System: macOS Mojave and Catalina (happening on two different systems)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an artboard in Illustrator
2. Place a raster image with curved edges such as an oval, especially if it's…7 votes -

empty progress dialog BUG: Hitting save, switching to another application for a bit, and then coming back to Illustrator leaves a non-dismissable, persistent blank "Progress" dialog floating behind Illustrator's windows. These empty dialogs often stack up, and only ever go away by quitting the application.
Expected: whatever dialog this is supposed to be clears itself up, cleans itself up, and puts itself away.
Mac Powerbook touchbar
MacOS Mojave 10.14.3
Illustrator 23.0.27 votesThanks for reporting the issue. We have tried the scenario and failed to reproduce it,it would be helpful if you could provide some more information-
Is this happening on win 7 only?
Have you tried cleaning the preferences and re launching the application?Does that solve the issue.
Have you encountered this issue with the latest Illustrator build?
Thanks

Wrong raster exported with combination of mask, gradient and brush I have path with a stroke applied to it.
Stroke is gradient, applied 'within'
One point of this gradient has opacity 0.
This path has mask.
Mask applied as inverted and clipping.
Inside this mask I have path with dash brush applied to it.All of this looks fine inside AI.
When I export a picture with Save for web (try other exports yourself, I don't use them) — AI doesn't see mask.See animation and artwork attached.

A lot of empty PNG when using Export for Screens function When exporting with Export for Screens, many empty pngs are created in the file folder. The bug occurs completely randomly. The number of files also defies any explanation. There may be 10 or 1000 files at a time.
System: Windows 10, Illustrator v.26.0.3
New details: this bug occurs if you copy complex graphics to the clipboard. Video attached. I suspect the meshes are to blame.
Update: If you disable Clipboard Handling → Include SVG Code or clipboard log Windows, the problem disappears.
