PDF gets saved and viewed as 'This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without PDF content'
As of this morning my PDF files are saving very odd. I have been saving them the same way for YEARS. As of this morning they are saving this (see attached). HELP? This is how I save files for our website to show available homes for a community. Obviuosly this is not showing the flyer sheet it was saved as from. I save as PDF, have a preset created that I select & save. Usually it's my flyer - today it this. From every file I try it from. ?????
35 votesIf you get a PDF exported that gets viewed as 'This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without PDF content' stamped messages, please send these to sharewithai@adobe.com and tell exactly what method you used to create it (Save Aa, Export As, Asset Export), with what parameters specifically.

Illustrator could only partially read this file
When I load the first attached file in 24.0.1 (with Windows 10) it loads OK and I can edit it. When I save it and try to reload it in 24.0.1 it says Illustrator could only partially read this file. That's awful when Illustrator cannot read a file it has just saved.
The layers (and sublayers) under ALL > WATERWAYS > A-B beginning with A have all gone missing when it reads in what it can. Other parts may be missing too.
It works fine in 23.1. and I have had to revert to using that.
I have lost a…

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.

Adobe Illustrator Hidden Layers Show In InDesign
When layered files are placed from Illustrator into InDesign, the files in InDesign show the Illustrator hidden layers. If you're not careful, the files can be presented incorrectly. The only fix I have seen is to resave the Illustrator file, then delete and import the image again in InDesign with the layer options selected. Review each layer before confirming the image placement.
14 votesPlease share some test files with the team, so they can finally reproduce this and investigate. Send both the .ai file that looks bug when linked along with the .innd document that has it as a link (along with the full specs of your computer and Ai and InD versions) to sharewithai@adobe.com (also please mention the the link to this report for faster backtracking, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32832622)

empty progress dialog
BUG: Hitting save, switching to another application for a bit, and then coming back to Illustrator leaves a non-dismissable, persistent blank "Progress" dialog floating behind Illustrator's windows. These empty dialogs often stack up, and only ever go away by quitting the application.
Expected: whatever dialog this is supposed to be clears itself up, cleans itself up, and puts itself away.

Illustrator 23.0.27 votesThanks for reporting the issue. We have tried the scenario and failed to reproduce it,it would be helpful if you could provide some more information-
Is this happening on win 7 only?
Have you tried cleaning the preferences and re launching the application?Does that solve the issue.
Have you encountered this issue with the latest Illustrator build?
Thanks

Objects vanish when a PDF is exported
The PDF document is not being saved correctly. I have tried saving it in different ways, changing the elements and it still isn't working. I believe it is a problem in Acrobat itself perhaps?

Can’t save over network or on a desktop
We are still having save file issues. Illustrator will not save the file over a network or even at time to the desktop. Also please do say "this is not a generic issue" looking at all the posts below with the same problem it surely is.
And please can we get moving on this. There seems a real lack of effort to fix these things. Whenever I read these posts you guys are always saying you have fixed the problem but the posts show that you have not, or you made the error occur again in another update. Very disappointed…

Symbols and SVGs issues (Illustrator 2020)
Issue: When an SVG is reopened in Illustrator with a symbol included in the artboard, the symbol shifts in position within a bounding box and crops as if it is within a Clipping Mask. Any black colour value within a symbol isn’t recognised and is automatically changed to HEX colour #000000. When the SVG is previewed in Finder and uploaded to Magento the symbols appear in the correct position.
Specs and testing: The issue only occurs since updating to Illustrator 2020 (tested on both macOS Majave (10.14 & 10.14.5) and macOS Catalina (10.15.1).
When opening the SVG in previous versions…

Symbol mangling when exporting into SVG
I see an incorrect result when exporting into SVG through File -> Export -> Export As... -> save as SVG. I have two gradient filled rectangles presented as symbols (see .ai inside the attached .zip), one is blue gradient and the other is gray gradient. When export into SVG, the resulting image shows both rectangles filled with gray gradient.
It looks like AI thinks both symbols are visually the same an merges them into a single symbol. If i use solid colors, this doesn't happen.
As for SVG options see 'svg_options.png' inside the .zip.
Check 'system_info.txt' inside the .zip for…

Adobe Illustrator asks you to Save when no changes were made?
Why does Illustrator, for the past many years, ask you to Save when no changes were made? Makes me think I accidentally did something or forgot that I did something. If nothing was changed, Don't ask to Save....please.

「選択範囲を書き出し」でSVGを書き出す際、無関係なPNG画像が同時に出力される
Illustrator 2024で「選択範囲を書き出し」からSVGを書き出す際、本来選択しているオブジェクトではなく、無関係なPNG画像や別のSVGデータが出力されます。
問題のPNG画像は、
・アートボード上に存在しない
・現在開いているファイル内にも存在しない
・2年ほど前に使用した記憶のある画像
・アセット書き出しパネルにも表示されないという状態です。
また、
・新規ファイルを作成しても再発する
・通常のPNG書き出しでは発生しない
・「選択範囲を書き出し」→SVGの場合のみ発生することを確認しています。
さらに、出力されたSVGには、現在選択しているオブジェクト以外の無関係な内容も含まれており、意図した内容だけを書き出すことができません。
