  1. Opening and placing .psd artwork not working consistently as described in documentation.

    importing images from .psd files intermittently not working as described. When opening or placing a .psd file, no option to convert layers is offered. The entire image opens right up as a single object with an opaque white background.

    I have been using these packages since 1994 and this just started happening in th past few weeks. Using Windows 10, AI 23.0.6 (64-bit). PS 20.0.6 release

  2. Hide Edges during Transform Each

    In some operations (e.g. Transform Each), we discover that the selection edges are influencing the perception of the preview. It would be nice when the Hide Edges command can be triggered while still in such an operation, in stead of leaving the function, turn off Edges, and repeat.

  3. Option + Enter (on keypad) doesn't work anymore to produce a copy

    OS x 10.14.6

    Illustrator 23.0.6

    When using dialogue boxes for scale, rotate move etc, after inputting numbers i used to be able to hit option + enter (next to the keypad) and it would create a copy of whatever I element i was scaling, rotating, moving. This doesn't work anymore. nothing happens. I have to hit option + return for this to work. It used to work a few versions ago. Can you please change it back. it's super annoying inputting numbers on the keypad and not being able to hit the enter key next to the keypad to create…

  4. inutilisable

    Plante en permanence à l'ouverture.

    Préférences supprimées, ça recommence de la même manière :
    à l'ouverture de l'appli puis à l'ouverture/création d'un nouveau document, la roue puis tous les menus deviennent grisés. On peut changer d'outil mais pas les utiliser.
    Les panneaux de fonction sont actifs mais rien n'est possible.
    L'appli n'est pas signalée bloquée par le système.

    Je n'ai pas accès aux bibliothèques, je pense qu'elles sont en cause.

    Ce soft est de pire en pire.

    CC 2019 23.0.6

  7. Type size shortcut doesn't work

    Cmd + shift + > for enlarging the type doesn't work both on my Illustrator & Photoshop.

    For reducing the size, it works well. (cmd+shift+<) I did reset both of them, and it fix the problem just a while before it's coming back.

  9. Origin of Circle Guide not visible

    When a Circle is set to be a guide, the origin (center point) is no longer visible.
    This point is very usefull for a guide.
    Changing the Show Center attribute has no effect.

  11. Memory problems in all versions past 23.0.2.

    I work for a IT managed services company who's primary customers are advertising agencies on MacOS. We have had to keep everyone back at Illustrator 23.0.2 due to various memory issues. Every time a new update is released, we get a pile of calls saying Illustrator is crashing. We check and sure enough, they have upgraded in hopes that the new version is stable. It has not been and now we are up to 23.0.6 and I just got the same call. Please fix it and release something that is solid. I'm getting sick of downgrading people so they can…

  12. Save for pdf changes from Master .ai file

    When I am developing a drawing, I need on occasions to send a pdf version off to my customer. Saving as pdf means that any further work I carry out whilst the program is still open is performed on a pdf file rather than on my master .ai file.

    To overcome this problem, it would be handy to be able to 'Export to PDF' so that the original..ai file remains on screen and I can carry on working rather than having to re-save as .ai file first

  13. Illustrator Help yields PAGE NOT FOUND error

    I have tried to access Illustrator Help... several times now via the Help Menu option of the same name as well as the F1 key, and Safari yielded the following "Page Not Found" error message, saying "The page you are trying to access was not found. Please check your URL for typos and try again."

    This is the first time I have seen this bug, which is now repeatable and reliable..

    Updated Illustrator CC 2019 to version 23.0.6 last night. On a MacBook Pro Retina mid-2014 running MacOS 10.14.6.

  14. Some of AI file paths disappear when exporting to PNG or JPG

    A simple AI file containing the logo and text (all outlined) is saved fine as AI or PDF, but if I try to export it to PNG or JPG, some of the paths contained within the image disappear and are not rendered in the resulting raster file. I am attaching the master AI file, and the rendered PNG file (created by going to File > Export As > PNG). As you will see, the rendered PNG file is missing the ALFRA name within the square white shape. FYI, I sent the file over to a friend of mine and he…

  15. Prefix in graphs

    Using a prefix for the axis in a graph works fine, but only with positive numbers. Negative numbers soon get into trouble however. $-50 is not helpful at all.

  16. Missing image link when pasting

    When I select artwork in one open document, select copy and then paste into another document, Illustrator cannot find the image links.
    However, when I drag the artwork from one document to another there is no problem.
    Congratulations to Adobe in breaking records for the most buggy version of Illustrator so far!

  18. Adobe Stock keeps crashing.

    Adobe Stock keeps crashing. I have not been able to use at all. I am testing AI and PS but when I select to search for a template it directs to me to this website, but when you click on a template it stops working and eventually crashes.

  19. Adobe Illustrator 2019

    My adobe illustrator 2019 keeps crashing every 10/15 minutes. I tried closing out of my other windows and just running that program by itself and it still crashed every 10/15 minutes. It is very frustrating when I am working on something and have to re-open up the program. Thank you in advance for the assistance.
