Local file saving and opening is extremely slow when connected to slow external server or VPN.
LOCAL file saving and opening is extremely slow when connected to slow external server or VPN.
Even though I only work on my local drive, opening or saving a simple document takes up to 2 minutes when I'm connected to a slow VPN connection server. Note: I don't open/save through the VPN, I only opens and saves from my local drive.
The second I close the slow VPN connection, Illustrator works like normal and saves the same file in <3 seconds.
So -- What is Illustrator doing accessing that VPN connection when everything it needs is on the local disk?

Can not export to png or jpg
When I try to export to jpg I get this error that comes up to lower my resolution. I have tried lowering it to 150dpi and still does not work.
When I try to export to png it comes up with an unknown error "(!now)"
This is ridiculous as I should be able to export from illustrator at any dpi without these issues as this is an expensive professional product.

Illustrator strips out XMP metadata when exporting PNGs
From CS1 until CC2017 when exporting PNGs the XMP metadata was preserved; Adobe BROKE this in CC2018/2019/2020! It works for all other file formats. We have production customers that rely on the XMP metadata matching between the Illustrator file and the exported PNG. FIX IT! Photoshop fixed this bug in their most recent release - why are you behind?

Unit issue with DXF exported from Illustrator
Hello,
Units are not correct when exporting DXF files from Illustrator CC.A 100 mm diameter circle exported from illustrator CC (22.0.1) is opened in Creo Parametric 4.0 (M070) and measures 2540 mm.
My CC options are in millimeters
$INSUNITS in DXF file should be defined to 4 = Millimeters
Actually it is exported with 1 and this is incorrect.Changing $INSUNITS from 1 to 4 in Notepad is not a sustainable solution !
Default drawing units for AutoCAD DesignCenter blocks:

illustrator wont open file windows
I have searched the support site and user voice with no results.
When I attempt to drag an *.ai file from the explorer window to Illustrator, or when I double click the file, it does not open. When I double click the file, Illustrator opens or switches to the window, my cursor briefly shows the 'thinking' animation but nothing happens.
- There is no freeze or crash
- Restart of the application did not fix the issue.
- File>>Open is the only way I can open files
- This happens to all files whether created with CC 2019 or earlier versions

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.

ファイル→書き出しにてJPEGを書き出す際、圧縮方式が選択したものと異なる場合がある
Windows10/21H1 Adobe IllustratorCC 26.0.3
問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
1.アートワークをアートボード上に作成する。
2.ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式を選択しJPGを選択する。
3.ダイアログ上で圧縮方式を「ベースライン(最適化)」を指定しJPEGファイルを書き出す。
4.書き出されたJPEGファイルは圧縮方式がプログレッシブになっている。想定していた結果
指定したベースライン(最適化)でJPEGファイルが作成される。実際の結果
圧縮方式がプログレッシブにて書き出される。この症状はWindows版のみで起こるようです。また、書き出し状態が異なるケースも見られるようなので他のパラメータによる影響を受けている可能性も残ります。
わたしが検証したファイル3種類を添付します。それぞれがファイル名に付けた圧縮形式で書き出しを行っていますが、バイナリデータを見てもベースライン最適化とプログレッシブのマーカーが入れ替わっている状態です。

PDF Export/Save .joboptions not appearing; cannot use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard joboptions
Adobe PDF Export presets (.joboptions) that work in ID, PS do not appear as options in Save As > PDF in AI.
Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... show they are installed. Attempting to Install them manually returns an error: "The preset '[XX.joboptions]' is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file." They cannot be Edited nor Exported from this dialog. (Even though they can be Edited and reimported in other apps.)
Affected presets use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard.
Illustrator requires PDF Export presets specifying Standard PDF/X-4:2007 or lower/None.
Creating new presets within Illustrator and selecting "Standard: PDF/X-4:2010" in the dialog actually creates .joboptions…

SVG Export Missing XML Encoding Tag
The latest updates to Illustrator (21.0.1) seems to have removed the all-important encoding tag required by browsers to render SVG appropriately when embedding etc. in an html page.
It exports the svg without this tag at the beginning of the file.

Adobe Illustrator 27.8.1 creates a pdf where the colour space of the custom profile is incorrect
Hello,
I came back from holiday today and a colleague at work told me that she can't create PDF files from Adobe Illustrator with the output intent that it saves but reports a colour space error when opened in Adobe Acrobat. First I deleted all the presets but the error remained. I also tried creating a PDF file with other profiles (created by us) and the error was there for all of them. But if I used the default profiles from Adobe (e.g. Iso Coated v2), the PDF file can be opened correctly. Finally I downgraded Illustrator to version 27.7…13 votesThe team has identified the problem and working on the solution. Thank you for the report and the comments.

SVG Tiny 1.2 :: x/y attributes in svg element
It looks like Illustrator believes that x/y are valid attributes for the 'svg' element when exporting as Tiny 1.2. Based on reading the spec, I'm not entirely sure this is true.

Export for Screens via ExtendScript is slow and appears to have stopped
Description:
When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it slows down and looks frozen. The rainbow cursor will appear.It actually works, and will finish if I wait long enough. It seems to take about 10 times longer than running it manually from the GUI.
This is especially noticeable when exporting JPEGs. If the image to be exported is large to some extent, it will hardly progress after the progress bar reaches about 99%. CPU usage will be around 100%.
Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 157.636 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 2.9MB).…

Export for Screens doesn't remember settings.
Export for Screen Doesn't remember my settings.
Every time I restart Illustrator, I have to set again my Export for Screen setting.I have project where I want to export few different sizes PNGs and a PDF, so it is getting a bit tedious to set those again every time I restart Illustrator. And of course it doesn't remember Export folder either.
It really amaze me how Adobe can brake some basic functionality like this.
