Black objects in clipping mask are not exported to SVG
Hi,
I created two same artboards with rectangle and text in clipping mask (the mask is important). The only difference is fill of objects – one is black and second red. Then I exported both artboards to SVG using Export for Screens feature (setup attached, but any other setup produces same result). Red version is exported correctly but the black one creates empty SVG file.
I checked SVG code of both files. If the object has any color except of black, code will include fill parameter for each object. But if object is black, code will skip the fill parameter…

Can't Export to DWG
You used to be able to export your file as a DWG, but in the 2023 update you no longer can. Why? If you opena DWG you can still save it, but if you open a fresh document you can't export to DWG like normal. CAD and illustrator crossover is extremely common and important to have and this needs fixed ASAP.

PDF error "This file is damaged" in the new Illustrator 2023 (27.0)
In Adobe Illustrator 2023 (27.0), when attempting to open a PDF in illustrator, I get an error message and the file does not open. The error reads "This file is damaged" with no extra context or solution. The file refuses to open.
The same file WOULD open on the previous Adobe Illustrator 2022 (I believe 26.5), and I would receive an error message (The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted: An unknown shading type was encountered.) The file would then open, and then I could poke around the layers in order to get the vector shapes I needed…

The team will investigate it. No investigation can start without the actual file.

It's 2022. Can we get some glaring, long standing bugs fixed please?
There are long standing user requests for all of these:
'Export for Screens' still adds extra pixels on exports unless the artboards are placed to exact pixels
Artboards can't be moved to snap to exact pixels, meaning if you move artboards you probably have to manually remove any decimal places in the artboard position, or else Illustrator will add extra pixels on export...
Smart Guides show up when creating or moving artboards, but don't actually work because creating or moving Artboards doesn't snap
Artboard names will randomly revert back to old names
In the Export for Screens dialog box, Artboard…

metadata is stripped when saved as PNG
When exporting a PNG the metadata is not preserved. We use the metadata to find a graphic for future requests. I have Adobe Illustrator 2022. My operating system is Windows 10.

Document won't save
Hi there.
I have been working in a new file I created, and I am unable to save the file. I have tried exporting, and quitting such that illustrator asks if I want to save. Nothing happens. I am stuck here, as I will otherwise loose the work I have done. Any suggestions???3 votesThe problem got solved by resaving the original document and no longer can be reproduced.
If you have a similar issue, try to search for a similar bug report which matches yours exactly or log another one, providing as many details as possible to help the team to investigate it.

Export for screens importing to After Effects as the same image
When exporting for screens the artboards save out as separate files and in Photoshop and everywhere else appear as they should, however even importing to After Effects they all appear as the same file. If I re-save them in Photoshop it fixes the problem but is a hassle for something I need to do on a regular basis. This has been the case for several years and different versions of Illustrator on different computers.

File Ruined After Updating
I was working with a slightly outdated version of Illustrator and the program kept acting up and crashed twice, so I saved my files and updated. Right before I did, a file I was working on did this. After the update, the error seems to be permanent.

Objects copied to clipboard are not preserving SVG Format as expected
Objects copied to clipboard do not have the same SVG formatting as previous versions of Illustrator when pasted as text to other programs.
Illustrator has a feature that lets you copy objects to your clipboard and paste them to other programs as SVG code. This is found under Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Include SVG Code.
2021 (25.4.1) isn't handling the SVG code as 2020 (24.3) and previous versions did. Instead of neatly formatted SVG code, you get an unformatted mess that is... just a mess. I don't know if this is even XML.
Is there some obscure setting that…

Export as JPG changes file name
New issue in recent update: 25.4.1
When exporting a file as an image (JPG, PNG etc.), and while in the first dialogue window, if you select JPG (or other file type) BEFORE selecting your path/folder, the file name picks up/swaps to the folder name.
BUT, if you choose your file path/folder first, and then file type (JPG, PNG, etc.) it works fine.
Huge time suck.

Symbols in SVG-export flip vertically
Windows 10, 25.3.1, 64 bit,
File/Save as/SVG
I have Symbols, yes, it's a symbol-library for the web, saving them as svg (which is best for editing them further) flips the y-axis.
This problem was described first in 2014:

不明なエラーと表示され保存ができない
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Illustrator2021 25.3.1(64bit)不明なエラーと表示され、保存が一切できない状況が発生します。
こちらの環境で再現可能な手順を2パターン示します。【パターン1】
1.AdobeFontsからアクティベートしたフォントを使用したaiファイルを用意する。
2.PC本体の起動直後など、ネットワークに接続した直後に1のファイルを開く。CCアカウントの連携がうまくいっていないのか画像1枚目の「環境にないフォント」というダイアログが表示されるので、この画面からフォントをアクティベートし、ダイアログを閉じる。(フォントは問題なく使用可能になる。)
3.ファイルに何か変更を加え、保存可能な状態にする。
4.ファイルを保存を選択する。このとき、画像2枚目の「不明なエラー」というエラーボックスが表示され、ファイルを一切保存することができなくなっています。(上書き保存、別名で保存、複製を保存のすべてで同エラーが発生。新しいファイルを作成して3のファイルのデータをコピーペーストしたものも同様に保存が不可能。また、2でアクティベートしたフォントを含むオブジェクトを削除しても保存は不可能。)【パターン2】
1.PC本体の起動直後など、ネットワークに接続した直後にIllustratorを起動する。
2.既存ドキュメントを開くか新規作成し、Illustrator上でAdobeFontsから新しいフォントをアクティべ―トする。
3. 2でアクティベートしたフォントを使用した状態で、ファイルを保存しようとすると、不明なエラーと表示されパターン1の手順4と同じ状態になっています。検証中の操作画面のキャプチャも動画で用意しましたが、ファイルサイズ制限のためか添付できませんでした。下記リンクよりご確認ください。
パターン1 https://youtu.be/6aorYeFh__Q
パターン2 https://youtu.be/HbZ1WKIP-gc何の問題もなく編集できていたファイルが突然保存不可能となるため、それまでの作業時間が無駄になり非常に困ります。
早急に改善をお願いいたします。3 votes -
Export for screens too slow when saving PDF multiple times
I use export for screens to export many artboards in PDF for simple vector artwork like brand assets (brandwithtagline, horizontallogo, verticallogo, symbol, brandblue, brandyellow, etc.) everytime I need to export the same file multiple times for Pantone, CMYK and RGB versions of those same artboards, but every time I export, the time it takes increases. For example: one file with 80 artboards take 0:10s to save each artboard as a separte file in Ai format, but takes 2:00s to save in PDF for first batch, then 2:50s for second batch and gets slower and…

Illustrator fails miserably to correctly open/interpret most SVG files
Half the time when I get sent SVG files and try to open them, the result is strange error messages, and often a completely messed up result, often with elements completely missing.
I tried to attach an SVG sample, but seems this website doesnt support SVG either (and zipping didn't help). Doh. Didn't work to paste the code either.

Illustrator CC 2020 Saving Unknown Error
Illustrator won't let me save my files. I've tried to open another new file to save my files and the same error has occurred unless I have the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned off. I have never encountered this before and this is my first time encountering this problem.
