6. Placing images file then locking layers

   21.1.0 64bit

   Bug Report

   I can always replicate this. Here's how.

   1. create a new document

   2. go to file-place and select multiple image files

   3. before clicking to place images, create new layer and lock all other layers

   4. Click anywhere and it will place your image on a locked layer in the corner of the art board instead of on your new layer in the location of your click.

7. Illustrator shows paths with extremely many points incorrect, without showing a warning to user

   Sometimes EPS files I want to open in Illustrator contain paths with many many points. When opening in Illustrator no warning is shown, but polygons are not shown correctly as the fill color is disappeared (and the polygon path seems to be broken/not closed anymore). Is the limit 32.000 points? If so: please enlarge this amount OR show a warning when opening a file: now users cannot trust your Illustrator here.

9. Temporary files created when working in Illustrator 2026

   Anytime I open an Ai file now all these temp files appear... in all my years of Illustrator never seen this. Yes, they normally disappear, but why are they even showing? They get left over too if there’s a crash which I get, but why are they appearing where the AI file lives now? I’d assume this was happening in library in the past...

10. ファイル名変更後も旧ファイル名がドキュメントタイトルに残り、書き出しファイルに継承される不具合

    Illustratorにおいて、ファイル名の変更に対してメタ情報の「ドキュメントタイトル」が適切に更新されず、古いファイル名が残ってしまう現象を確認しました。
    また、この書類が書き出した画像ファイルの情報にもそのまま継承されることを確認しています。

    以下に具体的な操作手順と、それぞれのファイル名やドキュメントタイトルの状態を示します。

    ■１　新規ファイル作成
    プロファイルから「A4テンプレ1」を選び、名前（ファイル名）を「書類A」に変更して開く
    ファイル → ファイル情報　からメタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」を確認する
    結果：　現ファイル名の「書類A」と同じではなく、変更前のファイル名「A4テンプレ1」となっていました。

    ■２　そのままJPEG書き出し
    ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式　でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果：　ファイル名は「書類A」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイル名と同じ「A4テンプレ1」でした。

    ■３　新規ファイル「書類A」を保存
    まだ保存されていなかったこのAiファイルを ファイル → 保存：　書類A.ai
    結果：　メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」に変更されました。

    ■４　再びJPEG書き出し
    書類A.ai　から、ファイル → 書き出し → 書き出し形式　でJPEG画像を書き出す
    結果：　メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類A」でした。

    ■５　書類Aを「別名保存」し、書類Bを作成
    書類A.ai　から、ファイル → 別名保存で　書類B.ai　を作成
    結果：　メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」は、ファイル名と同じ「書類B」に変更されました。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像は、ファイル名・ドキュメントタイトルどちらも「書類B」でした。

    ■６　書類BをOS上で名称変更
    書類B.ai　のファイル名を、OS上で　書類C.ai　と書き換える
    結果：　ファイル名は「書類C」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは前ファイルと同じ「書類B」のままでした。
    また、書き出されたJPEG画像も、ファイル名が「書類C.jpg」なのに、ドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。

    この現象は、ユーザーにとって明らかな不具合だと思います。
    具体的には■２や■６の挙動が問題で、Aiファイルの名称とドキュメントタイトルが一致せず、書き出された画像に想定外の情報が残ってしまうことは、ファイル名とメタデータの整合性が失われますし、トラブルの原因ともなるため、単なる仕様と見過ごすことはできません。
    また、そもそも多くのIllustratorユーザーがこの挙動に気付かず、不適切なタイトルを刻んだ画像ファイルを生み出していると思われます。
    なぜなら、この「ドキュメントタイトル」という情報は、Macの標準的なFinder機能「情報を見る」を使っても表示されない項目だからです。
    しかもこの情報はWindowsではたやすく表示されるため、自らMacで意図せず埋め込んだ画像の不適切な情報が、納品先のWindowsで視認されている可能性があるのです。

    ※Windowsでの「ドキュメントタイトル」確認方法
    ファイルを選んで「プロパティ」から「詳細」タブを開くと、「タイトル」を確認することができます。
    また環境によっては、ファイルアイコンの上に矢印を置くだけで表れるファイル情報の中に、ドキュメントタイトルの情報が表示されます。

    具体的なリスク例（画像参照）：

    ●ファイル名「ダメ課長のダメな案.ai」をOS上で「上司Ｂ案.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
    　　　↓
    　ドキュメントタイトルが「ダメ課長のダメな案」のまま表示され、トラブルとなる。

    ●ファイル名「2026年8月.ai」をOS上で「2024年12月.ai」に書き換えてJPEG画像を書き出し
    　　　↓
    　ドキュメントタイトルが「2026年8月」のまま表示され、混乱を招く。

    なお、この不具合は、書き出したファイルの種類で結果が異なります。

    TIFF：　JPGと同じ不具合が生じます。いずれもメタ情報の有無は選べず、必ず埋め込まれます。
    PSD：　 Photoshopから「ファイル情報」を確認
    　→「書類C.psd」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類B」のままでした。
    PDF：　 Acrobatから「プロパティ」を確認
    　→「書類C.pdf」のドキュメントタイトルは「書類C」に揃えられていました。
    　　　（ただし保存の条件で変わると思われます）
    PNG・WEBP：　そもそも「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されません。
    他は未検証です。
    なお、メタ情報「ドキュメントタイトル」が保存されるファイルでは、撮影日時、プログラム名（Illustratorバージョン）も保存されていました。

    過去の類似する記事では、書き出し後の対処について書かれていても根本的な解決には至らず数年経過しており、また前述の通りMacユーザーにとっては大変見えづらいトラブルであることから、早々の解消が望まれる深刻なバグとして改めてここに報告いたしました。

    こちらの作業環境：
    Windows11（25H2）／Illustrator 28.7.10

11. ENREGISTREMENT BLOQUÉ à 100% sans qu'il se termine

    Bonjour.
    Actuellement je suis bloqué sur un enregistrement de mon fichier ! Le l'enregistre, le pourcentage augmente et arrivé à 100% plus rien. L'enregistrement ne se termine pas. Et je ne peux rien faire. ça bloque toutes autres actions d'enregistrement. Aucune fenêtre aucun bouton pour arrêter l'enregistrement. Là j'ai 2 solutions bancales pour le sortir de là et éviter de perdre mon travail : copier mes dizaines de plan sur un nouveau fichier et espérer que cela s'enregistre ou dans un désespoir, forcer à quitter le logiciel et espérer que la récupération retrouve mon travail ne sachant pas si je vais perdre ou non les dernières modifications que j'ai réalisé.
    Je précise que c'est pas la première fois que ça arrive. Plus d'une dizaine de cas identiques cette année.

12. Cancelling the Print progress dialog leaves document unsaveable — Cmd+S silently no-ops (Illustrator 30.5.1 / macOS 26)

    Cancelling Illustrator's Print dialog before the print job finishes leaves the
    active document in a partially-locked state ("limbo"): the canvas still responds to
    interaction (you can pan/move the artwork), but File → Save / Cmd+S silently does
    nothing — no save dialog, no write, no error. The document cannot be saved through
    the normal UI and must be recovered through scripting or force-quit + data recovery.

    In the observed case the affected document had never been saved to disk, so all work existed only in memory. A user who trusts Cmd+S (which reports no error) can lose everything if the app is force-quit without a
    scripted-save workaround. The failure is silent, which makes it especially dangerous.

    Adobe Illustrator 2026, version 30.5.1
    macOS 26.5.1 (build 25F80)
    Apple Silicon Mac
    Consistent / 100% via the steps below. Not timing-dependent — cancelling the print progress bar at any point triggers it. Has recurred across multiple sessions.

    Steps to Reproduce
    100% reproducible via the standard print flow — not timing-dependent:
    1. Open a document in Illustrator 2026.
    2. File → Print (or Cmd+P) to open the Print dialog.
    3. Click Print. The print/spooling progress bar begins.
    4. Click Cancel on that progress dialog at any point while the bar is moving (it does not matter how early or late — cancelling at any time triggers it).
    5. Return to the document and attempt to save (Cmd+S) → Save silently does nothing.

    Expected Result
    Cancelling a print job returns the document to a normal editable state. Save works
    normally.

    Actual Result
    - The document enters a "limbo" state.
    - Canvas interaction (panning, moving objects) still works.
    - Cmd+S / File → Save does nothing — no dialog, no save, no error message.
    - The condition does not clear on its own; it persists until the app is restarted.

    Technical observations (captured via CLI on the live, stuck process)

    These strongly suggest the menu-command dispatch is gated by a stale modal-session
    flag left over from the cancelled Print dialog, while the scripting/Apple Event path
    is not gated:

    • The Illustrator process was healthy, not hung — process state S (sleeping/normal), not spinning; UI remained responsive.
    • Apple Events were fully functional — scripted reads of the document returned instantly (name, modified, count of documents all responded).
    • modified of current document returned true (unsaved changes present).
    • Reading file path of current document threw an error (document had no resolvable on-disk path — it had never been saved).
    • Cmd+S silently no-op'd, but a scripted save current document in file <path> as Illustrator succeeded, wrote a valid 10.4 MB PDF-compatible .ai, and flipped modified to false.

    The divergence between "menu Save does nothing" and "scripted Save works" is the key
    diagnostic: the write machinery is intact; only the UI command path is being suppressed.

    Workaround (until fixed)

    Run this in Terminal (adjust the destination path/filename) to rescue the document
    without losing work:
    bash
osascript \
-e 'set destFile to POSIX file "/Users/<you>/Desktop/<DocumentName>.ai"' \
-e 'with timeout of 120 seconds' \
-e 'tell application "Adobe Illustrator"' \
-e 'save current document in destFile as Illustrator' \
-e 'end tell' \
-e 'end timeout'

    Then force-quit and relaunch Illustrator before continuing work.

    Cancelling Illustrator's Print dialog before the print job finishes leaves the
    active document in a partially-locked state ("limbo"): the canvas still responds to
    interaction (you can pan/move the artwork), but File → Save / Cmd+S silently does
    nothing — no save dialog, no write, no error. The document cannot be saved through
    the normal UI and must be recovered through scripting or force-quit + data recovery.

13. "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    Em versões anteriores do Illustrator (até a 24.1.3), o diálogo "Exportar para Telas" usava automaticamente a pasta do arquivo .ai como destino padrão de exportação, e lembrava o caminho entre sessões. Esse comportamento foi alterado em alguma atualização posterior e, desde então, o caminho de exportação é resetado toda vez que o Illustrator é reiniciado.

    Embora a correção tenha sido anunciada no Beta 29.5.52 (março de 2025), o comportamento ainda não está funcionando de forma consistente na versão de release geral.

    Comportamento esperado: ao reabrir o Illustrator e usar "Exportar para Telas", o caminho de destino deveria ser mantido — preferencialmente o mesmo da última exportação ou, como padrão, a pasta onde o arquivo .ai está salvo.

    Comportamento atual: o caminho de exportação é resetado a cada reinicialização do aplicativo, obrigando o usuário a navegar manualmente até a pasta de destino em toda nova sessão.

    Essa é uma funcionalidade básica que impacta diretamente a produtividade no dia a dia. Solicito que a correção seja consolidada e entregue de forma estável na versão de release geral o quanto antes.

14. The preview is incorrect because some images are missing

    Ever since at least Illustrator version 29.8.5, I've been having preview issues with linked images. Some images are missing from my preview.

    I tested it in Illustrator 30.3, and the problem persists.

    When an .ai file saved in Illustrator 2026 (v30) is imported as footage into After Effects 2026, transparency information — including blend modes, opacity settings, and effects such as drop shadows — is lost or ignored. Affected layers render as fully opaque.

    Re-saving the identical artwork in Illustrator 2024 (v28.7.10) and importing that file into the same After Effects project resolves the issue completely.

    This suggests that a change in the .ai file format or internal data structure introduced in v30 is no longer being parsed correctly by After Effects' AI importer.

    Saving from v28.7.10 is a confirmed workaround, but this should not be necessary.

    Is there a known fix? Is this a confirmed bug?

    Thank you for the continued development of Adobe Illustrator. I am a professional graphic designer working in prepress and print production, and I greatly appreciate the dedication your team puts into this product. I would like to report what appears to be a compatibility regression introduced in Illustrator v30.

    Transparency Information Lost When Importing Illustrator v30 AI Files into After Effects 2026

    Environment:
    - Hardware: MacBook Pro 16-inch (November 2023), Apple M3 Pro, 36GB RAM
    - OS: macOS Sequoia 15.7.4
    - Illustrator version with issue: v30.2.1 (2026)
    - Illustrator version without issue: v28.7.10 (2024)
    - After Effects version: 2026

    When an .ai file saved in Illustrator 2026 (v30) is imported as footage into After Effects 2026, transparency information — including blend modes, opacity settings, and effects such as drop shadows — is lost or ignored. Affected layers render as fully opaque.

    Need More Info  ·  Illustrator Engineering responded

    Hi,

    
    

    Thank you for reporting this issue. Could you please try reproducing the workflow on the latest version of Illustrator (v30.3) and let us know if the issue still persists?

    
    

    Thanks,

    Illustrator Team

16. Vorschaubilder verschwinden im Bridge

    Hallo, ich habe folgendes Problem mit Illustrator (30.2.1) und Bridge (16.02.23) auf einem Windows Rechner mit 64GB Ram, Windows 11 Pro und eine RTX 3060 Ti.

    Wenn ich momentan im Illustrator eine Datei speichere zweig mir Bridge diese Datei nicht mehr korrekt an.

    Beispiel:
    - Normal war die Anzeige in Bridge wie Bild01.jpg
    - die geöffnete Datei im Illustrator wo alles stimmt ist wie Bild02.jpg, alle Verknüpfungen sind intakt
    - ändere ich in der Datei nur das Darum und speichere, ist nun die Anzeige im Bridge wie im Bild03.jpg daher zusammen wie Bild04.jpg

    Öffne ich die Datei im Illustrator ist alles ohne Fehler vorhanden.
    Verknüpfe ich das Bild über das Menü neu und speichere es dann wieder, stimmt die Vorschau im Bridge wieder wie bei Bild01.jpg.

    Schließe ich dann die Datei stimmt die Vorschau im Bridge, wenn ich sie dann wieder öffne stimmt alles.
    Nehme ich irgendeine Änderung vor, Bsp. Text anpassen oder Ebene einmal aus und einblenden und speichere dann wieder normal, ist die Vorschau in Bridge wieder wie bei Bild04.jpg, also defekt.

    Ich muss also in so einem Fall bei Änderungen aktuell vor dem Speichern immer alle Verknüpfungen aktualisieren und dann speichern damit ich im Brigde die richtige Vorschau habe. Hier ist es auch egal ob es eine Verknüpfung mit einem JPG oder PSD ist.

    Sonnige Grüße von Usedom

17. UI freezes when clicking Save file with multiple artworks, no recovery files, version 30.0 on Tahoe 26.1

    This new 30.0 update is terrible, my team has lost countless hours!
    As soon as you click save, the UI freezes, and doesn't allow you to save.
    After clicking the task manager in order to restart the app, the file doesn't show up in the recovered files. NOTHING!
    It is the worse version of Illustrator EVER. I was contemplating going back to the LTS version, but we have already done too much work in this newer version, and are certain that when we open those files, in the OLDER (But better) version, there will be issues, we saw it already in a few files, where the file is flat and not editable.. What can we do?

18. Save as opens an empty window

    When I try to SAVE AS, an empty window pops up with no options to save or navigate. This just started happening with the last update.

19. Cloud saving only works after creating a project

    Operating System: Windows 11 Home, Version 25H2 (Build 26200.7171)
    Illustrator Version: 30.0 (64-bit)

    Steps to reproduce:
    When trying to save a new file as a Cloud Document, the “Save” button remains greyed out.
    I am correctly signed in to my Adobe account and can open existing Cloud files without issues.
    However, Illustrator will not allow saving to the Cloud unless I first manually create a new Project folder.

    Expected result:
    Saving directly to “Your Files” in the Creative Cloud should work without having to create a project.

    Actual result:
    No valid Cloud location is detected until a new project is created manually.
    After creating a project, the file can be saved normally.

    Workaround:
    Create a new project folder

20. PDF Export for Screens saving full document even thought multiple files selected

    When you 'Export for Screens' as a range or tick certain artboards to export as PDF. These exported PDFs opens the full document rather than just the selected artboard. This happens when you open an exported PDF artboard in Illustrator 2026, but if you open it in 2025 version it opens as it should.
