SVG href property exports incorrectlyWhen illustrator exports SVGs, it sometimes will use the href property to reference something like an embedded image or gradient from the <defs>, which is reasonable. Docs for the href property here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/href However, safari does not support hrefyet, and will completely drop the reference, making SVGs widely render incorrectly in safari, up to the latest version. In order to make them work properly, the deprecatedxlink:hrefproperty must also be used, docs below:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href All bases can be covered by including both the hrefandxlink:hrefproperties, until all modern browsers have fully adopted the SVG2 spec.1 voteIf you should see the issue still, please contact us via email sharewithai (at) adobe dot com.

Changing size in export doesn't change sizeWhen exporting files via Save As, if I change the size, it doesn't update the actual export size until I do something else, like toggle the clip to artboard on and off or change from optimize for Art to for type. This has been a persistent error across versions of Illustrator and MacOS for some time. Once you hit tab to leave that portion of the export dialogue, it should update without any additional steps. 1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Files Breaking on Save after creating Saved Swatch LibraryIllustrator v22.0.1: We use art tiles to create repeat prints for textile printing. There is a bug that cause my original .eps files to become garbled after I have used that .eps file to create a saved swatch library. STEP1.png shows the original art file and its save options. STEP2.png shows creating a pattern from the art and its associated settings. STEP3.png shows saving the swatch library (I removed all of the standard Illustrator swatches as they are unnecessary for the custom swatch library). After saving the swatch library, I save and close the original art file. STEP4 shows what… 1 voteWe would need the file to recreate and investigate.

PDF does not preserve Illustrator editing capabilities!!I upgraded two days ago to the new version of Illustrator. I've been saving PDFs with 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' for years. Now when I do it, it's flattening the PDFs and not allowing editing as normal. It has totally ruined two of my complex files and I've lost hours of work. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? So frustrating! 1 votePlease get in touch with us at support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Saving PDF Security override by gmailDear sir or madam, I've noticed as i saved PDF in CS6 to send to a Client and i used password protection with no permissions (printing, copying....) And the thing is, if you open the email att. in this case My protected PDF in gmail preview - you can print it with no problems. And if you print to a PDF file, you get the same PD minus the Password protection. I think this could be a big issue. So i see google's gmail now as an easy fool proof password hack tool. hope i helped somehow with this. 1 voteI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

CC 2018 PGN Exporting looking worse than CC 2017When using Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 back then, exporting a HUGE resolution, Inked Lineart via File->EXport As->PNG-> High 300 ppi + Art Sampled + Transparent.. Whenever i open that file on Photoshop CC 2017, the line art looks CRISP, stylish, soft, with no dead pixels like showing off..And Photoshop CC 2017 detects it with a 19kx20k Resolution. NOW, when using THE SAME EXPORT SETTINGS but on illus' CC 2018, the exporting looks instant...Oh yeah, great... But when i open it on PSCC2017....The lineart looks VERY THIN, 1px like, with greyed out dead pixels. Please do NOT break out what's working… 1 voteI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

High Sierra: "Package" function doesn't workHi everyone. On High Sierra the "Package" function doesn't work properly (Illustrator 21.1.0). The fonts are packed completely, the links sometimes too, but often there are a lot missing links. The document itself is not saved into the packed folder. A message appears, that the packaging couldn't be done. 1 vote
