  1. Package dialog resets folder name when a new destination is chosen

    If you enter a custom folder name in the Package dialog, then change the location to export to, the folder name resets to match the file and does not retain the custom folder name.

    Expected behaviour is for the custom folder name to persist when changing the export location.

  2. Unable to open/paste/place images from AfterEffects generated PNG sequence.

    I'm getting error when I'm trying to open/place/paste image form After Effects (22.4.0 build 54) genereted PNG sequence. Png can be any size (tested with 1080x1920 & 640x640). Images had no transparency (solid white bg).
    Error says "Requested transformation would make some objects too large". When I press OK, png image opens in another tab with dimensions of 16383x 16383px for 640x640px picture. I can open same image in Photoshop without a problem. The DPI of the image generated by AfterEffects is 72dpi.

  3. Exporting to SVG returns different code after Illustrator updates

    I use Illustrator files as source documents for complex system maps that we export to SVGs for applications. With the most recent updates, the exports have significantly changed the output code for the SVG which is impacting the javascript interactions with those svgs. The first and most substantial issue is that in calculating the viewbox attribute parameters, Illustrator is NOW including hidden layers where it once ignored them. I use a background layer which mimics our system's background colors to more closely reflect the contrasts needed and hide that for export. But where once the svg tag exported as
    <svg…

  5. SVGs are missing elements when opening with Illustrator (and PhotoShop too)

    For the last several weeks I've discovered that opening SVGs with Illustrator (and PhotoShop in fact) results in a significant portion of the artwork being missing. I've opened over 100 SVGs from multiple sources and every single one is missing elements when opened in Illustrator. When opened in Inkscape or Google Chrome the SVGs are fine. See attachments for an example SVG file from the web.

    My work is almost solely in SVG for compatibility with other devices (laser cutter, etc), and not being able to successfully open ANY SVG is incredibly disruptive. I can export from Inkscape as EPS…

  6. dxfデータ・dwgデータを読み込むと形が崩れる

    Auto CAD LT2023で作成したdxfデータ・dwgデータをillustrator2022（バージョン26.3.1）で開くと形が崩れてしまいます。

    添付画像のように，一部のスプライン端点（恐らく閉じている部分）がillustratorで読み込むとアートボード左下部分に集まってしまい，大きく形が崩れます。

    2. Ai version 26.3.1 (latest version on Adobe Creative Cloud).
    3. The step: Saving an existing file (in .pdf). have to save as new file after even 01 modification in the file.

  8. White lines added around exported JPGs

    When I'm exporting images from Illustrator using 'Export Assets', often white lines or lighter lines are added on random edges of the images.

    Screenshot shows image in Illustrator and exported image showing lighter row of pixels on image edge.

  9. New & Save As

    New & Save As is not working in Illustrator. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure all the preferences are the same, but there still seems to be the same issue. Is there going to be an update to fix this or is there something I can do my end to fix it? Thank you.

  10. Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1

    Hello,

    I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

  12. SVG export with Internal CSS and Layer names - not working suddenly in 26.2.1 - export does not contain layer names; omits some layers

    Illustrator 26.2.1 CC on Mac OS (Intel)
    Export used to export layer names with these settings.
    Now it unexpectedly exports shortened group names.
    How can I revert back to old Illustrator version?

  13. 別名保存後にJPG書き出しした際、JPGのタイトルが別名保存前の名称になる

    オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
    macOS Catalina 15.7
    Illustrator 26.0.3（2022）

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1　aiデータを開く（ファイル名　1.ai）
    2　別名保存する（ファイル名　2.ai）
    3　JPG書き出しをする（ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式→ファイル形式：JPG）
    4　保存されたJPGをFinderの「情報を見る」で情報を開く

    想定していた結果
    ファイル名、タイトル共に「2」となる

    実際の結果
    タイトルが別名保存する前の名前「1」となる

    業務のワークフローで、
    aiデータをJPG書き出し→フォトショップのドロップレットでPDF変換→
    PDFにキーワードをタグとして付与しフォルダに集める→必要な時にFinder上で検索
    という手順を行っています。

    PDFにする際、JPGのタイトルがそのままPDFのタイトルとなるようで、検索の際にタイトルでもヒットするため関係ないファイルも検索されてしまい困っています。Acrobatでタイトルの変更ができますが、ファイルの最終更新日時が変わってしまうので可能な限り避けたいです。

    数年前から同じような現象が起きているので、以前のバージョンから発生しているかもしれません。

    よろしくお願いします。

    OS でのファイル情報の「詳細情報」は、ファイルのメタデータのタイトルが参照されます。

    Illustrator では「ファイル > ファイル情報...」メニューを選択し、ファイルのメタデータを設定変更できます。


    書き出しファイルにも、このメタデータが使用されますので、Illustrator の「ファイル情報」メニューで変更したメタデータのタイトルが、OS のファイル情報の詳細情報に反映されるかご確認ください。

  14. Illustrator selecting Folder name and renaming file when saving into Folder

    When saving an Illustrator file - and InDesign also - I click the name of the folder that file is to go into and the filename changes to that folder's name. Why is this happening? Why was this not found when debugging these very expensive applications before throwing them at subscribers and hoping they will work? Really not professional. We pay far too much money for stupid things like this to happen. Needs to be fixed immediately. InDesign also.

  16. Export for Screens not updating Artboard titles

    I've been copy/pasting my artboards and renaming them to save time.

    I've noticed though that Export for Screens doesn't always update the artboard name, despite the artboard name being changed.

    I've seen this bug a few times now.

  19. Issues saving CMYK vector as PNG

    I am trying to save my vector as a PNG file, something simple, and it looks good on the Artboard, but for some reason after saving it, it changes some colors, like some sort of blending mode effect and I tried everything, still not working. The RGB vector is being saved just fine, is the CMYK version that I am having issues with.
