  1. Automatic and manual saving does not function

    Autosave and manual save does not work for Illustrator.
    I created a file, worked on it, saved intentionally several times, but after a day of work illustrator has not saved anything neither locally nor in the cloud.

    The autosave function is on.

    Does anybody know what could be the issue?

    Thanks in advance.

  2. [Illustrator 2025, 29.1][Win11 23H2] Installed ICC Color Profiles Become Unavailable After System Shutdown

    My Win11 has fast boot disabled, so it gets completely shut down rather than just hibernated.

    Once I shut down the computer and start it again, all installed ICC profiles disappear from View > Proof Setup > Custom... > Device to Simulate

    They reappear after deleting the following files:

    1) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ACECache11.lst

    2) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Color\ACEConfigCache2.lst

  3. Significant Performace Issues after Updating to V29.1

    I'm having significant issues using Illustrator 25 v29.1 and it's very frustrating as I'm using the program for work related activities. Any time I try to alt+drag and artboard to copy it, I get the spinning wheel of death on my Macbook Pro. Even if I try to Command+C and Command+V paste the artboard, I have the same issue. And when I look at how much memory is being used, it's not alot so I don't undertand what is happening. I've reset preferences, restarted the application, restarted the program and still have the same issue. Whereas a file of the…

  5. Star shape expand not working in 2025 update

    Illustrator 29 (2025 update) on Mac - The live shapes are great, and I was able to create a cog, but I can't expand the shape like in the previous versions, and the corners stay "live." In properties panel, I click on "Expand Shape" but the shape stays editable as if it's still "live" - see screenshots attached.

  11. Illustrator scripts not working on M2 Mac mini

    Apple M2 Pro running Sonoma 14.7. Only the 3 included scripts are visible or work in either Illustrator 24 (v28.7.1) or Illustrator 23 (v27.9.6).
    If you browse to a script you can select it but nothing happens. No action, no error message.
    External 3rd party scripts no longer seem to work.
    Is there a fix?

  12. Not sure who angered Microsoft, but Adobe Apps not Working again!

    It seems like every Tuesday, after Microsoft sports it's guerilla updates, Adobe Apps, especially Illustrator Beta and Illustrator 2024 stop working. They will launch, but won't stay open for long before they just disappear. And though it pretends to save your work, it doesn't. This is probably the fifth or sixth time this has happened.

    Last time this happened, I had to uninstall the entire creative suite and run a special program to wipe my drives of all things Adobe then reinstall from scratch to get it to work. What a nightmare.

  13. Broken CSS Style Elements in SVG Save and Export

    I have been exploring why our company users are seeing full black artboards or random black fill objects in SVG files produced in the Save As\SVG process, as well as exporting SVG using API developer tools. I know there have already been issues with non-alpha-numeric characters (what I will call “irregular characters”), but the issue we are seeing relates to periods (.) specifically.

    When files are saved/exported using Style Elements to drive the CSS, if those style names contain a period, ie: "BLACK STROKE .25pt", the Save As SVG export process allows the CSS class label to contain a period.…

  17. Le remplissage génératif ne fonctionne pas.

    Lorsque je sélectionne une forme pour un remplissage génératif, cette fonctionnalité n'aboutit pas. Après quelques instants, le curseur de progression n'avance plus et cela peut aller jusqu'au plantage de l'ordinateur.

  18. PDF vector artwork exported from Fresco to desktop corrupts when opened with Illustrator

    I created a vector artwork in Adobe Fresco (app is up to date) on the iPad Pro (OS 17.5.1) then exported it as PDF to my Macbook Pro (Sonoma 14.6.1). The file looks fine until I open it in Illustrator for Desktop (Version 28.6) where one of the vector layers corrupts (best word to describe it) upon opening the PDF in Illustrator.

    Troubleshoot attempt 1: I tried exporting and re-exporting and opening and re-opening SO MANY TIMES. The same layer corrupted every time.

    Troubleshoot attempt 2: I tried duplicating the artwork in Fresco, then deleted all the layers except the…

    This is a limitation of Ai. The truncated path has 32000 points exactly, and the missing part of it just being cut open.

    Even though a PDF can have more points, Ai won’t be able to read it. This is not a new bug, it’s just this particular path. You can workaround by splitting it into four chunks.

    Please also upvote this request to lift the limitation.

  19. AI CC 2024 freeze randomly

    Randomly my illustrator would freeze suddenly, doesn't go to "not responding" phase, looks like nothing happen but can't click on anything, must force close it and restart, and its really bad because it happen randomly so i can't "prepare" for it

  20. データのクラッシュ

    作業をしていると突然ソフトが落ちます。ほぼ毎日クラッシュが発生している状況で、こまめに保存して対応しております。
    復元を行なってもほとんど復元されないため全く作業が進みません。macのデータ容量に関しても全く問題はなく、イラストレーターで開いているファイルが1つの時でもクラッシュが発生します。作業中において特定のアクションでクラッシュするわけではなく様々な場面で急に落ちます。
    原因がわからないため非常に困っています。
