The Default File Location option (local or cloud) is missing in Preferences > File Handling
Whenever we install Illustrator anew and try to save a document for the first time, we are given a choice — to save into Cloud or save locally. The default choices is Cloud and 'Don’t show again is checked) — Adobe actively wants users to use their system, I get it. However, if one makes a mistake and wants to alter this choice later — they can’t do it anymore.
At some point we had this option exposed in Preferences > File Handling, but later it started to randomly disappear for users, with the same build used. The support can…

However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:
- Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
- Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
- Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.

Objects vanish when a PDF is exported
The PDF document is not being saved correctly. I have tried saving it in different ways, changing the elements and it still isn't working. I believe it is a problem in Acrobat itself perhaps?

Importing a PDF with only Spot RGB Colors inside treats the document as CMYK
I am exporting PDFs from an RGB file using 'Export for screens’ with a PDF Preset that converts to sRGB.
Any artboard that contains a ‘process’ RGB color (white, in my case) comes out as an RGB PDF file.
Any artboard that only contains Spot RGB colored elements is seen as a CMYK file when opened in Illustrator or imported in InDesign (which is my goal).My example file will export nicely until I hide the background layer to make my PDF transparent. Then the one with the (previously) white background becomes CMYK.

When saving AI and EPS files using artboards, file previews (thumbnails) are not generated. All files display the preview of the original file. To rectify this, it is necessary to open and overwrite the files.

SVG Export missing data-attributes in 27.1
macOS Ventura 13.1
Illustrator 27.1Export for Screens
Choose SVG format
Edit Format Settings for SVG (by clicking on gear icon)
Select SVG and set to the following:
Styling: Inline Style
Font: SVG
Images: Preserve
Object IDs: Unique
Decimal: 2
check both Minify and ResponsiveThe exported SVG should have the attribute data-name with the object's layer name. For example, a rectangle object filled with the color #f6b780 with the layer named 0006A should look like this in the SVG file.

(MacOS) Finder window freezes when trying to save an Illustrator file
When I try to save an illustrator file, the Finder window that pops up is frozen. None of the buttons are clickable. I've tried saving files with other apps, including Adobe apps like After Effects, and they can save files just fine - to the same folder even.
Currently using the latest version of Illustrator.
Things I've tried:
- Resetting Illustrator preferences
- Reinstalling Illustrator
- Versioning down Illustrator
- Deleting the com.illustrator cache folder
- Relaunching Finder
- Restarting the computer
- Starting with a fresh Illustrator file
- Opening an existing Illustrator fileAny solutions? At the moment,…

SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue
Hi,
I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).
For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

もとの作成PCも開こうとしたPCもいずれも26.0.2を使用。
最新verにアップロードしても同じ状況です。4 votesIllustrator製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。

中間色のあるグラデーションのあるPDFが正しく読み込めず色情報が消えてしまいます
中間色がなければ正しく読み込めます。
問題のPDFはインデザイン等で長方形を設定し塗りのグラデーションで中間色を設定すれば作成でき、PDFにエクスポートできます。
編集をしたいので、"配置(Place)"以外の方法で解決したいです。4 votest.takizawa 様、
追加情報をありがとうございました。
InDesign でグラデーションバーの100%の位置にカラーストップがセットされていない場合に、Illustrator で PDF を開いた時にグラデーションのカラーが消えてしまうようです。
今後、開発に進捗がありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。
よろしくお願いいたします。

Filename is no longer selected in Save / Save As / Open dialogs in macOS Mojave
In macOS Mojave only the filename was selected in the Save / Save As... window.
Now nothing is selected so you can't start typing right away or the extension is also included in the selection. So if you need to save multiple versions or need to add a number at the end of a filename you could hit the Right Arrow key and start typing.
If you do that now the cursor moves after the extension, you have to move 4 positions back or delete the extension entirely and then start typing.

Partially read the file disappears with legacy format
In Illustrator 25.2.3, myself, my client, his colleague, and their client, all run into a nasty bug where some ai files will not open.
The dialog saying Illustrator could only partially read the file will appear and the file can't be recovered properly. Sometimes the file(s) can be opened on a second attempt, but, we have found that only by saving the files in Legacy format, will this bug disappear and the files are usable once again.
