Intermittent SVG Text Export Bug
Intermittent SVG Text Export Bug
In 23.0.2 (and 23.0.3) when exporting and SVG sometimes text is exported as <text> tags with the layer name as an ID and sometimes the text is wrapped in a <g> and the <g> has an id with the layer name and the <text> element has no id.
The behavior is arbitrary, but one a text element begins exporting wrapped in a <g> it stays that way. Sometimes an element, after editing the text or font, that was exporting correctly will begin exporting wrapped (incorrectly).
This issue makes post-export parsing/processing difficult because you can't depend…

script cannot be uploaded
Download the script of random swatch fill from http://vectorboom.com/load/freebies/freescripts/randomswatchesfill/22-1-0-167
Opened my illustrator CC2019>File>Scripts>Other Scripts, chose the downloaded file and pressed open, nothing happened.

rtf
Currently cannot import advanced RTF documents with Adobe Illustrator. Common RTF file format options like Tables, Colored Backgrounds, and embedded Images fail to be pulled into Adobe Illustrator. Instead the application omits these things.
Cannot attach an example file.

Pasted shapes from Illustrator turn to graphics in Indesign
You cannot cut and past even a simple vector shape from the very latest Illustrator CC into the very latest Indesign CC without the shape being turned into a graphic in Indesign. I back installed to the last versions for both programs and it is work again. I have this exact setup at home (Mojave) and it work perfectly but at work (High Sierra) I had upgraded to the latest of both programs and hence the issue.
What should happen is the shape from illustrator remains an editable vector in indesign.
I experienced this today (19 March 2019)

Error: "Unable to export at this resolution" for jpeg at 300ppi
For larger artboards (6500 square), I'm trying to export them at 300ppi jpegs for print (as requested by the printer). Every time I try to export at 300ppi, I get the message "unable to export at this resolution, please lower the resolution and try again."
I've been informed of the Photoshop workaround, but we should be able to save vector files especially out as high res jpeg's straight from Illustrator!

Unable to save Illustrator file as svg using artboards
We use Illustrator to draw lots of icons.
If we place each iocn on an artboard and try to save each artboard to a file by selecting Save as -> svg -> use artboards -> all,
we expect multiple icons to be saved to multiple svg files.We actually get multiple svg files, but each svg contains all layer names from the original file and one svg icon.
It would be very helpful, if manual cleanup after saving / exporting wasn't necessary.

SVG Export issue
When exporting an svg, the file is "empty". There're only some bytes, but it shows in the browser, when you do some drag and drop. So, now comes the problem, if I sending the file to a workmate he get only a "Not working img". I must export the file a few times, with the same options to get a working svg.
And sometimes the export delete the main file (.ai), I don't know why.

SVG Exports Incorrectly - messes up art work
I have drawn a simple oval that exports correctly.
I then made 20 copies, and it exports as SVG correctly.
I then made 20 more copies (so I have 40 of these oval shapes) in two columns side-by-side. The first column exports correctly, the second column some of the ovals are longer, some are shorter and the horizonal position shifts back and forth.Used the Export Selection command. Have tried all different SVG parameters, have tried switching the columns, nothing has worked.

Artwork won't display on artboard, but in the layers panel, navigator etc.
AI 23.0.1 / MacOS 10.14.2
When an additional file is opened it sometimes shows the content of a previously opened file on the artboard.
In the layers panel or the navigator the correct content is displayed.
Also upon undocking the tab the correct content is displayed.
Only workaround I found so far is restarting AI.2 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Illustrator refuses to become default program when opening .svg files
Illustrator refuses to become default program when opening .svg files. I've tried "Open with another program" in the "Open with" context menu option. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried installing 2017. I've tried regedit. It just won't take.

Delay when opening/placing/looking for files.
illustrator and indesign and photoshop all had little or no delay when 'exiting' the software to find/open/place/import a file. Now there's significant seconds added whenever I do anything, even selecting fonts causes seconds of delay when they used to show up instantaneously. just started Monday with Mojave 10.14.1 update

Saving an EPS file hangs Illustrator
When I save a file to EPS, Illustrator either takes forever to save it or hangs and I have to kill it and restart. Saving to an AI file isn't a problem.

Illustrator freezes with creating new document
A few times when I opened the new Illustrator 2019 on Mac, Mojave, it freezes and is still buggy after the latest update. When I open Illustrator after quitting the application, or even the first time after restart, it literally gets stuck on either the home screen, but also when I choose "new file" from the home screen's quick create section. A new file will open, but I can't do anything. The Interface freezes and I have to "force quit" Illustrator.

Batch exporting ai>psd does not work in latest Illustrator update.
Batch exporting does not work in latest update. The images appear to process, and as each image is processed, there is a message that a photoshop file is being created. However, the end result files are the same ai files that I began with. Using Mac OS 10.14.

When I export as png, application crashes
Adobe version: 22.1, OS: Windows 10 (the adobe application is on a virtual desktop for security reasons.)
From the last 2 weeks, I have not been able to export to png. This was never an issue until recently. I get a prompt for export for multiple screens. I've tried exporting it in multiple dpi (72, 192, and 300). This also crashes. I've tried choosing a single asset and exporting selection. This also results in a crash.
Please help me find a solution.
Thanks,
Lubna.2 votes
