Colour Variation when using "Darken" transparency
Why am I getting a colour variation on screen when using the "Darken" mode in the transparency field.
See attached illustrator Pdf.
The "Substrate" spot colour has the "Darken" applied which is layered on top of the colour wedges.
Should the colours of the wedges not display the same irrespective of whether "Overprint Preview" is on or off?4 votes -

Gaussian Blur Bug Changes Appearance Between Different Versions
This is a major flaw!
We have an Illustrator file created in CC 2019 (23.0.6), it contains a PSD element that has a gaussian blur effect applied to it in Illustrator, set to a radius of 9 pixels, this produced a subtle blurred appearance. The file was then sent to a printer for test printing where they are using Illustrator CC 2021 (version unknown) and when they open the file the object becomes very blurred, completely changing its appearance.
I've managed to replicate the bug using Illustrator CC 2020, the object's radius blur effect changes to 9.021 pixels and the…

Drop shadow results are unusual when converted to grayscale
Version: 23.1 and 24.2.3
phenomenon:
1. Create an object
2. use drop shadow from appearance menu
3. From the Edit menu, select Edit Color and then Convert to Grayscale.After conversion, the drawing of the drop shadow is not normal.
There will be a problem even if you save it as a PDF.Version 22.1 does not have this problem.

3D extrude and bevel effect breaks on large paths
Windows 10 64 Bit, AI 23.1 .I've observed this bug all previous versions, and on multiple computers.
Add a 3D effect (eg. Extrude and Bevel) to a path and increase the scale... it always breaks past a certain size. The theshold increases with the extrude depth, so deep objects can be larger while flat objects (ie. no extrude depth) break at a relatively small size. Check out the attached image.
It's an extremely useful effect... clearly it would be a whole lot better if it could still be used at larger scales!

Pathfinder Incorrect Work
Hi!
I have a problem with Pathfinder in new Illustrator version 24 (2020) (macOS 10.15.1). Please look at the image attached. Pathfinder doesn't cut a compound shape out of a path or another compound shape. It merges the two instead.
It worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.4 votesHi Everyone,
We have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.1.2 which is available worldwide now.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

Pathfinder options not working no matter what I do
Hi I am using Adobe Illustrator on a Windows PC and I was trying to use the Pathfinder Tool to simply 'minus front' some text on a shape for a logo I am trying to create. But, whenever I go to use the Pathfinder tool and click on in in the Windows Drop Down Menu - because its not even an option on the side bars?- nothing happens. I've tried to group the text and the shape as well as creating outlines but nothing is working. Nothing is popping up. I am simply trying to make transparent text in a…

Weird Transparency Issue
So, I have a very odd quirk happening. When I changed an element from 100% opaque to 70% then copied it and grouped it. Now when I ungroup it the same element that was 70% opaque now thinks it is 100% opaque.
Essentially I can no longer make that element completely opaque anymore. I have to place another instance. This is a bit of a pain when I have resized or altered the placed element.
I am running the latest version of Illustrator as of this post.
I did some searching here and my issue is very similar to this…

Freeform Gradients won't load in complex object groups/compound paths
In Illustrator 2019, freeform gradients were unable to render in complex compound paths. I was attempting to add a freeform gradient within a compound path/grouped object set of leaves (about 20) of various shapes and sizes. I had used compond paths to add a freeform gradient to two objects previously (although with a few bugs - see bug titled "Illustrator 2019 Freeform Gradient and compund paths not quite right" in Other...), expecting the gradient to render. Although it sounded as though my computer was working hard to process the effect, nothing rendered after 5 minutes and so I gave up,…

blending application inconsistent in groups and appearance
To reproduce the problem, in RGB document, set up a rectangle with fill and outline, on top of some colored background shape.
Using Appearance panel modify blending and opacity of fill and stroke to use anything other than normal blending. Then change the whole object's opacity, so it has "isolate blending" checkbox checked.Now try selecting any option for blending mode, other than Normal.
All blending modes are ignored and cause no change in appearance.
Now, select one of the blending modes anyways.
Then expand the appearance of the object. Illustrator will create a group with path elements in the…4 votes -
Overprint test error bug
- Create a text box, on a colour background.
- Make some of the text a colour, some black.
The black does not overprint, it reverses ("knocks") out of other text in the same box reverses out (becuase it's colour or white).
If you fix this by making the black text multiply, on reopening the file, it has reverted to reversing out.

Zig Zag applied to an art brush is glitchy.
A simple art brush made of several parallel rectangles has unexpected results when the Zig Zag effect is applied with smooth curves instead of sharp angles. Changing the number of stripes and/or the number of zigs alters the errors. Some of them are kind of pretty but I think I'd rather just see this working as expected.
I reproduced this on an M2 Mac running Illustrator 27.8.1, in both CPU and GPU rendering modes. I'm not sure what the person who originally observed this and got me investigating was using.

Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.
I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.
It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!
It does go away when you turn vector…

2020ファイルフォーマット、後方互換性の破壊
iMac 27inch(2020/32GB/1TB/Corei5)
macOS10.15.7リンク配置したJPG画像に対してエフェクトをかけると以前のバージョンのイラストレータ（ver.24およびver.25）でPGF部分を正常に認識できずにPDF部分より復元しようとする。
再現手順
1. ver.26.0.1にて新規ドキュメントを作成し、JPG画像を配置する。JPG画像自体は埋め込まずリンク画像としてあつかう。
2. 配置画像に対して「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」のアピアランスを適用する。
3. 2020形式で当該ファイルを保存。
4. Illustrator2021にて当該ファイルを開くとネイティブ部分のデータを読み込めず、ダイアログが表示されPDF部分のデータよりリカバリを行おうとする。実際の結果
旧バージョンにてIllustratorファイルを正常に開くことが出来ない。期待される結果
2020形式で保存した場合、ver.24及び25にて従来のように正常にファイルを開くことができる。これはJPG画像をリンクとして配置したものにエフェクトを適用すると起こるようです。スタイライズのみならずトリムマークやPhotoshop効果等でも同様の症状が出ます。
しかしながら、すべてのJPGで再現するわけではありません。条件を特定しようとしたのですが特定に至っていません。
当該ファイルを添付いたしますので確認頂けると幸いです。3 votesこちらの問題が修正された Illustrator 2022（ver.26.0.2）が、製品リリースされました。 みなさん、ご協力ありがとうございました。 こちらのトピックは対応完了とさせていただきます。 コメントはオープンにしておきますので、何か問題がありましたらご報告ください。 よろしくお願いいたします。 Illustrator チーム -
Align with preview bounds doesn't work with transform effect copies
I created a gear by creating a circle, then a box for one of the pieces. I created a point in the middle of the circle and grouped the box with that point. Then I used the transform effect on that group to create a circular array. Then I grouped that and added a pathfinder-Add effect to make it one piece, but still keep it nice and editable. Then I punched a hole in the middle by adding another circle, grouping it to that, and adding an effect, pathfinder-Subtract.
I then added two lines of text as one object. Those,…3 votes -
ドロップシャドウを適用したオブジェクトをグレースケールに変換するとシャドウ部分がマスクされてしまう
macOS10.15.6 Illustrator ver.25.2.3
再現手順：
１．長方形を作成し塗りを設定し、「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」を適用する。
２．１のオブジェクトを選択した状態で「編集→カラーの編集→グレースケールに変換」を適用する。
３．オブジェクトの下に適用されているドロップシャドウ部分がオリジナルの長方形をドロップシャドウパネルの「X軸オフセット・Y軸オフセット」分移動した状態の図形にてマスクされる。
４．「分割・拡張」を適用してアピアランスを分割するとマスクされた状態でビットマップに落とされる。期待する結果：
シャドウをクリッピングせずにカラーの変更のみ行う。実際の結果：
シャドウがクリッピングされてしまう。以前に報告されていた投稿がありましたが、一部に挙動の誤認があるため、新たにバグ登録を行いました。

Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance
When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.
The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time…
