2. The Hint not applied when export to JPG with antialias set to Hint in "Export for screen"

   When exporting a JPG using "Export for screen", the hint information applied in the anti-aliasing setting is not applied and the expected output cannot be obtained.

   environment / OSX10.13.6/Illustrator ver.24.0.0

   Step to reproduce.
   1. Files -> Export -> Export for screen
   2. Set the Format as "JPG 100" and click the Preferences icon.
   3. Choose "JPG100" and set the Antialias as "Hint".
   4. Click apply and export.

   Result : The Hint no applied.

   We need to get correct images like Illustrator ver.23.

   Workaround
   Use another functionality such as "Save for Web" or use Illustrator ver.23.

3. Optimize file open & Save Time on slow networks PDF issue

   With this option turned on, editing a PDF in illustrator with form fields, attachments, or other pages causes them to be erased completely- leaving the main page only and form fields completely gone. It only happens on-network. Locally it will retain all other information.

4. Save As PDF Issue

   I am trying to save a file in Illustrator 2020 the same way I've always saved PDF files in older versions of Illustrator for Print. I select PDF x-1a and select document bleeds is the only change I make. It saves fine but when I go to look at the file I get the attached error. I don't understand why I receive this error in this version when I've never experienced this in previous versions taking the exact same file saving steps. i've tried multiple pdf preset options but still experiencing issue.

   Update: Currently the only preset I can save is "Illustrator Default" - obviously this is not ideal.

5. An unknown error has occured

   Windows 10, Enterprise

   I was working on a file, and have been saving file regularly in between. But on one artboard when am placing an object, i am not able to save the file. Error pops up. I tried to snip the object and placed it as image still error is popping.
   I tried locking and unlocking layers, no use.
   And if i remove tat from art board, i am able to save. What sort of error is that, am not understanding.
   This is like the file has reached a limit, if we add one more object or image or anything, it wont let me save and error pops up.
   Please help sort this out. I guess am not the only one facing this issue.

7. DXF files on a Mac interpreted wrongly

   I often have to import DXF drawing files of model glider plans. For a few years now, over several versions of Illustrator, I noticed that I am missing lines and solved the problem by selecting the missing and finding similar stroke weights, hoping it would find them all.

   Today I had a discussion over Skype with a friend who runs Illustrator on a PC on which the plan files view perfectly correctly, so there appears to be a problem in the Mac Illustrator version. I have attached a pdf file showing the difference in display

8. Illustrator file closes without warning/saving if accidentally re-opened while canceling errors / relink prompts

   If you unintentionally open an Illustrator file to open it but realize it was one that was already open, it's possible to lose any changes you've made to that file without warning.

   Steps to repeat:
   1. Open a file that results in a dialog box to show before completely opening (mismatched color profile, missing links, etc).
   2. Modify the document in some way, but do not save it.
   3. Return to Explorer and open the file again.
   4. When the Illustrator brings up a dialog box, click cancel instead of ok.
   5. The document you had open will close without prompting to save.

10. svg text

    Exporting SVG on Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.2 on MacOS 10.14.3 is giving inconsistent results in regards to text. I am trying to export a file as an SVG with Font option set to SVG. However, the SVG file exported has some texts converted to paths or outlines and some texts are preserved as texts, which is what is desired. We have also tried this under Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.1 on Windows 10 Home with same results. We have included a sample file for you to test.

    Added To Backlog  ·  Dirk Schulze responded

    Hi Akshay,

    We were able to confirm the issue that you see. The issue indeed does not happen with Illustrator 2018 (22.1).

    We identified hyphenation as the potential culprit. To workaround the issue, either disable hyphenation in the Paragraph panel or make sure text does not get hyphenated.

    We are sorry that you experience the issue and are working on fixing the issue.

11. Could not read file because the plug in did not understand this file

    Hi,

    Illustrator was working fine, suddenly crashed and now says: 'Could not read the file because the plugin did not understand this file' everytime I try to launch.

    I had alot of vectors on the document and several artboards and copies of work, some complex shapes and masks ect. Some of the some of the shapes which were masks in groups were clipping images, some of these clipping mask groups had been copied across documents and had missing links, which may be part of the problem.

    Upon launching Illustrator a dialogue box appears and asks to 'replace' or 'ignore' the missing links, when either the actions of 'replace' or 'ignore' is taken the same error/bug keeps appearing: 'Could not read file because the plugin did not understand this file'.

    The file size is 73.3mb so I don't think I'll be able to upload it but if there is any way i can send it to you and so things can be investigated.

    Really need help with this.

12. Unable to activate fonts because "Not signed in" even though I am signed in!

    I am trying to open an Illustrator file that has two fonts which are not installed on my computer.

    When I open the file, a dialog comes up and I click the "Find Fonts" button. However, it gives me an error saying that I am not signed in (see attachment "not signed in").

    I am not able to click the Help menu option because the Find Font dialog window does not allow me to focus on the main window.

    When I close the Find Font dialog, I check the help menu to discover that I am, in fact signed in! (see attachment "signed-in")

    This is a terrible user experience to say the least.

14. Hitting "enter" key when specifying page range of 'Save to PDF' on mac broken

    Running AI on Mac 10.13.6 with AI 22.1.
    On all programs, when a dialog box is 'highlighted' you can hit 'enter' which will do that action. There is a new bug on save to PDF on Mac at least. Should be very easy to fix guys!

    When you Save as PDF, and you have a multi-artboard file - if you want to save out a couple of the pages to PDF, you click 'Range' and type the page range, ie. 2-3. Usually I would always do this and then hit enter, as there is no point picking up the mouse.

    However, if you hit enter, a) it doesn't appear to do anything. So then if you click 'Save', it will save a PDF with ALL the pages/artboards in it - even though range shows just 2-2 for example.

    So if you hit enter by mistake, you have to reset it, by clicking 'All', then 'Range' again, then enter your range and click 'Save' with your mouse, not hitting 'enter'.

    Easy fix that needs to be made as this is very annoying.

15. Saving issue - the error box pops up...

    I was using CC 2017 and went to save my file and a box popped up that said

    "This printer driver is not supported by Illustrator"

    I clicked okay and it let me go back to working. When I went to save again the same thing popped up. I updated to CC 2018 and when the program opened this same message popped up.

    It seems to still let me work in the program, but when I go to save the screen goes black and freezes the program for about 20-30 seconds

16. SVG Export ignores layer id <g> tag for some artboards and layers, but not all of them

    When exporting to SVG, some tags are ignored and some are not for the same document and export event.
    I tried reproducing the problem and were successful.
    Also, I tried fixing the problem and were, in a sense, successful.

    Fixed it using the assets option on the export panel: it creates 2 layers <g> tags. One of them has the correct naming (stroke) and the other is just generic (Layer2). The compiler put stroke inside layer2. Not good for my automation process and where did layer_2 come from? I did not create it.

    Another fix is to save the artboard as a separate file, but that is crazy as it comes with a ton of unnecessary code and when working with multiple artboards, this turns into caos.

    But when exporting as artoboard, the layer named (stroke) is ignored and not put into the final svg. The path id is preserved, but thats it.

    So, something is wrong with the ids and objects naming or maybe just the export tool. I dont know what or why its ignoring the layer id for some artwork and not all artwork.
