2. Illustrator 2021 and 2022 crash when trying to run an action from a script

   Attempting to run any action from applescript or javascript is always resulting in Illustrator 2021 or 2022 immediately crashing for me.

   I've tried on multiple computers, and running it on a fresh install of AI 2022 with no settings changed.

   Tested on MacOS Mojave, Big Sur, and Monterrey

   It doesn't matter which Action or Action Set is used, I've tried the included "Default Actions" and others.

   The identical scripts work fine from AI CC2020 back to at least AI CS6.

   For example, I can copy and paste this straight from Adobe's ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC SCRIPTING REFERENCE: APPLESCRIPT:

   tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
   do script "Opacity 60 (selection)" from "Default Actions" without dialogs
   end tell

   Make a new Illustrator document and run it, and AI instantly freezes and stays frozen indefinitely. It needs to be force quit.

   Running this or any other action from any action set by selecting it in the Actions palette and clicking the "play" button works as expected.

   Using the equivalent javascript-

   app.doScript ("Opacity 60 (selection)","Default Actions")

   has the same result - instant crash of AI 2021 or AI 2022.

   And running the identical scripts on the same computers on prior versions of AI leads to the action running as expected.

3. pathfinder - unexpected behaviour inside script

   when I select two compound paths and subtract, I get a fully selected group.
   If I create an action consisting of just the pathfinder operation and run it from the actions panel, the result is identical.
   If I call this action from extendscript, the group sometimes is only partially selected. - and the following steps produce unexpected results :(
   It turns out that adding an extra object.selected = true can help.
   I observed this in 2022 edition, I have the impression that this did not happen in 2020 edition

5. Scripting Issue on MacOS Monterey

   We had this script for Illustrator that will export PDF and images with predefined presets. This was working until some of our team upgraded their macOS to Monterey.

7. Unable to control third party applications with AppleScript

   This is essentially the same issue as https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-16-3-2-not-authorised-to-send-apple-events-to-other-apps/td-p/12312871 except for Illustrator.

   Illustrator is missing the NSAppleEventsUsageDescription key from its info.plist file. This prevents the system from asking permission from the user to send apple events from Illustrator.

   Mac OS 11.5.2
   Illustrator 25.4..1

   To recreate:

   in terminal
   tccutil reset AppleEvents com.adobe.illustrator

   save the following AppleScript and place in the scripts menu for illustrator.

   tell application "Finder"
   display dialog "test"
   end tell

   Expected result:
   dialog in finder

   Actual result:
   AppleScript error: Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder. (-1743)

8. Illustrator 2021 breaks Export command with AppleScript

   Export command for AppleScript has suddenly stopped working as of Illustrator 2021. This error breaks almost all my professional workflows.

   macOS 11.1, Illustrator 25.1

   When I run AppleScript workflows that worked fine in Illustrator 2020, 2019, 2018, etc. they now fail at the 'export' command with 'Adobe Illustrator got an error: document doesn't understand the "export" message.'

   Screenshot of simplest possible script failing attached.

9. Applescript "open without dialogs" no longer works

   I have an Applescript that has the statement

   open (thePDFName as alias) without dialogs

   In Adobe Illustrator 2019, it works. In Adobe Illustrator 2020, it gives me an "unable to open file" error. When I comment out "without dialogs", it opens the file, but then naturally pops open a dialog (not helpful when you are opening dozens of files!)

   MacOS 10.13.6, not sure what other information would be needed.

   This issue is reproducible with HFS paths.

   Workaround: Use the POSIX path for opening files

   Example:
   set myFilePath to POSIX path of theAIFile
   open file myFilePath without dialogs

10. Possible bug: Crash after script runs... runs OK in ESTK.

    I believe this might be a bug since it crashed Illustrator rather than the script crashing gracefuly.

    I have a script which, when completed, crashes Illustrator. The script runs fine when ran from within the ESTK but crashes when ran from the AI File->Scripts menu. Attached is the crash log. I cannot post the script itself here but am willing to send it to an Adobe employee privately if needed.

11. Applescript convert to paths deletes image used as transparency mask

    Since Illustrator 21.1.0 (okay before) there is an problem with Applescript command "convert to paths (every text frame of current document)"

    If the text has an image as a transparency mask the script will delete the image. This does not happen if I do this manually within Illustrator. The problem still exists with the latest version of Illustrator.

14. Issue with Reading Variable Data from DataSet in Illustrator 29.5

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    I am reaching out to report an issue with Adobe Illustrator (version 29.5) regarding the inability to read variable data from a DataSet object in a script, even though the dataset is correctly loaded and updates the document content as expected.

    Problem Description
    I have a script that processes a CSV file to generate PDF files using variable data in Illustrator. The CSV file contains columns "Cislo" (number) and "JMENO" (name), and it is correctly loaded into Illustrator as a dataset (via Window > Utilities > Variables > Load Variable Library). The dataset updates the document content correctly—when I call dataSets[i].display(), the text fields in the document update with the correct values (e.g., "1", "URBAN" for the first dataset). However, when I attempt to read the variable values programmatically from the DataSet object (e.g., via dataSets[i].variables[j].content), the script fails to retrieve any values, resulting in empty strings.

    Steps We Tried
    We have tried multiple approaches to read the variable values, but none of them worked as expected:

    Reading via dataSets[i].variables[j].content:
    We iterated through dataSets[i].variables, checked the variable names (e.g., variable.name === "Cislo"), and attempted to read the content property.
    Result: The content property always returned an empty string, even after calling dataSets[i].display().
    Reading via getByName:
    We tried using dataSets[i].variables.getByName("Cislo").content to directly access the variable's value.
    Result: This threw an error ("Error 21: undefined is not an object") if the variable was not found, and even when wrapped in a try-catch block, it returned an empty string.
    Reading via variable.textFrames[0].contents:
    We attempted to access the text frame linked to the variable using doc.variables[j].textFrames[0].contents after dataSets[i].display().
    Result: This approach also returned empty strings, even though the text frames in the document were visibly updated with the correct values.
    Workaround (Successful but Manual):
    As a workaround, we named the text frames in the document ("CisloText", "JmenoText") and read their values directly using doc.textFrames.getByName("CisloText").contents.
    Result: This worked and correctly retrieved the values (e.g., "1", "URBAN"), confirming that the dataset and variables are functioning as expected for updating the document. However, this is not a practical solution as it requires manual naming of text frames, which is not feasible for larger workflows.
    Observations
    The CSV file is correct and properly formatted:

    Cislo,JMENO
    1,URBAN
    2,JIŘÍ
    3,TOMÁŠ
    4,EDA
    5,
    6,NOVOTNÝ
    7,KAREL​
    The dataset updates the document content correctly when dataSets[i].display() is called (e.g., the text fields show "1", "URBAN" in the UI).
    The generated PDF files contain the correct content based on the dataset, confirming that the dataset and variables are working.
    However, all attempts to programmatically read the variable values from the DataSet object (dataSets[i].variables) result in empty strings or errors.
    Sample Script testVariableReading.jsx:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var dataSets = doc.dataSets;

    // Kontrola, zda existují sady dat
    if (!dataSets || dataSets.length === 0) {
    alert("Error: No datasets found in the document. Please load a CSV file with variables.");
    } else {
    for (var i = 0; i < dataSets.length; i++) {
    dataSets[i].display(); // Aktivuje sadu dat (mění proměnné – Cislo, JMENO)

        // Pokus o načtení hodnot z dataSets[i].variables (selhává)
        var currentCisloFromDataSet = "";
        var currentJmenoFromDataSet = "";
        try {
            var variables = dataSets[i].variables;
            for (var j = 0; j < variables.length; j++) {
                var variable = variables[j];
                var varName = variable.name;
                if (varName === "Cislo") currentCisloFromDataSet = variable.content || "";
                if (varName === "JMENO") currentJmenoFromDataSet = variable.content || "";
            }
        } catch (e) {
            alert("Error reading variables from dataset " + (i + 1) + ": " + e);
        }
    
        // Načtení hodnot z pojmenovaných textových polí (funguje)
        var currentCisloFromTextFrame = "";
        var currentJmenoFromTextFrame = "";
        try {
            var cisloTextFrame = doc.textFrames.getByName("CisloText");
            if (cisloTextFrame) currentCisloFromTextFrame = cisloTextFrame.contents || "";
    
            var jmenoTextFrame = doc.textFrames.getByName("JmenoText");
            if (jmenoTextFrame) currentJmenoFromTextFrame = jmenoTextFrame.contents || "";
        } catch (e) {
            alert("Error reading text frames for dataset " + (i + 1) + ": " + e);
        }
    
        // Zobrazení výsledků pro srovnání

    Request
    It seems there might be a bug in Illustrator 29.5 where the DataSet object's variables property does not correctly expose the content of variables after display() is called. I would appreciate if you could investigate this issue and provide a solution or workaround to programmatically read the variable values from a dataset without relying on manually named text frames.

    Attachments
    I am attaching the following files for your reference:

    The CSV file (data.csv) used to load the dataset.
    A sample file (sample.pdf) with the variables and dataset set up, where the issue can be reproduced. I have saved the file as a PDF because the original .ai file was rejected due to a content type mismatch (application/postscript). The PDF was saved with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" enabled, so you should be able to open it in Illustrator and see the variables and dataset. Note that the text frames in this file are already named "CisloText" and "JmenoText" as part of the workaround, so reading via doc.textFrames.getByName("CisloText").contents will work. However, the issue with reading directly from dataSets[i].variables should still be reproducible.
    A test script (testVariableReading.txt) that demonstrates the issue. Please note that I could not attach the script with its original .jsx extension as it is not a supported file type. I have renamed it to testVariableReading.txt. To test the script, please rename it back to testVariableReading.jsx. The script attempts to read variable values both from dataSets[i].variables (which fails) and from named text frames (which works), and displays the results in an alert for comparison.
    Thank you for your assistance! Please let me know if you need any additional information to investigate this issue.

    Best regards,
    Ales Ulrych

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    I am reaching out to report an issue with Adobe Illustrator (version 29.5) regarding the inability to read variable data from a DataSet object in a script, even though the dataset is correctly loaded and updates the document content as expected.

    Problem Description
    I have a script that processes a CSV file to generate PDF files using variable data in Illustrator. The CSV file contains columns "Cislo" (number) and "JMENO" (name), and it is correctly loaded into Illustrator as a dataset (via Window > Utilities > Variables > Load Variable Library). The dataset updates the document… more

15. Adobe Illustrator 28.7.3 does not load AIBeautifulStrokes

    Adobe Illustrator 28.7.3, at least the macOS version, does not load AIBeautifulStrokes suite in my plugin (error 29550). All other versions, including up to 28.7.2, work fine. I am using SDK build 142, the version of the 2024 SDK now available for download.

    AIErr err = sSPBasic->AcquireSuite (kAIBeautifulStrokesSuite, kAIBeautifulStrokesVersion, (const void**) &sAIBeautifulStrokes);

17. getSystemPath using CSInterface throws URI Malformed error

    I was trying to get the my documents folder path of the system using CSInterface getSystemPath function. It works in most of the cases. But it throws URI malformed error (refer the screenshot below), if the path of the documents folder contain characters from languages other than English.

    I debugged the CSInterface.js file at line 521. And I found that the below piece of code returns the path of the folder without encoding the characters from languages other than English.

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)

    IN MY CASE:

    Path of documents folder: "C:\Users\sanjay\OneDrive - Élégante\Documents".

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)
    // Returned value - "file:///C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive%20-%20Ã%89lÃ%a9gante/Documents"
    // É is encoded as Ã%89

    encodeURI("C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive - Élégante/Documents")
    // Expected value - "file:///C:/Users/sanjay/OneDrive%20-%20%C3%89l%C3%A9gante/Documents"
    // É is encoded as %C3%89

    decodeURI("Ã%89") throws URI malformed error.
    decodeURI("%C3%89") returns É.

    ISSUE:

    So, I guess it is the problem with the encoding of window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType). Is there any work around for this issue?

    SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER FUNCTION:

    I'm also facing the same issue with other scripting functions like "documentAfterActivate" CS Event which returns the path of active document if a document is opened. The path received is not encoded properly for characters other than English.

    VERSION INFO:

    CEP: 9
    Illustrator: 26.1 (2022) Also tried in 2023.
    OS: Windows 10

18. Applescript Artboard Name no longer works

    Getting/Setting name of artboard no longer works. It used to work fine. It is an issue with class of properties. All options Fail.
    1. name of (get properties of artboard 1) -- error
    2. get item 7 of properties of artboard 1 -- error
    3. name of artboard 1 -- always failed

    If you insert «class bAl9» in place of Name and compile, it does not fail however will fail next time since the dictionary replaces it with Name

19. VBScript Internal Script Execution Error in version 25.1

    Running VBScripts from File > Other Scripts is not currently functional in the latest update- however the very same scripts work fine if the scripts are opened manually (and worked as expected from 'Other Scripts' in the previous version).

    Please fix!

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

20. update link to illustrator 2017 sdk on https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html

    The move from https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
    to https://console.adobe.io/downloads/ai left behind a broken link to the 2017 sdk.
    Easiest thing to do would be to update the 2017 sdk link on the old devnet page.

    We are moving away from devnet to the Adobe io site. Moving forward that will the place to get all of Adobe SDK.
    We also have an early access program for our plugin partners. You may join our prerelease site you will get SDK builds way before we release it on public facing pages.
    Here is the link to join Illustrator prerelease http://adobe.ly/1Q3rCPI
