  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  9. tear-off

    Mac: 10.14.5
    Illustrator version: 23.0.4

    In the past I was able to save my workspace with toolbar tear-offs (shapes, pen, etc.). When I re-open Illustrator and select my custom workspace, my tear-off tabs are not present. I'm hoping to get the tear-offs to save with my saved wowrkspace.

  12. my shift, control, option and command keys are not working

    iMac v. 10.14.5 (18F132)
    (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
    Processor 3.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
    Illustrator 23.0.4

    I don't know exactly when it started, but I cannot use my shift, control, command, or option keys. They work perfectly fine in combinations like shift+w, shift+arrows or command+c, and so on. They work from my Wacom, but not from the keyboard. It seems like I have the same issue in Photoshop.

  14. Paste in Front/Back should override Paste remembers layers option

    The layer from which an object is copied is used for the pasted object even when using the Paste in Front/Back command. This is counterintuitive and the command should override the option.

  19. Bezier Curves break on circles when compounding shapes.

    1) Windows 10, Illustrator 23.0.3(64bit)
    2) Experienced a bug while compounding a shape into a circle, this managed to break the Bezier curve. This became an issue with a plot cutter slicing from one point to another in graphics production. The issue can be seen when compounding a shape. After using the pathfinder to minus a shape, two live corner appear in the center of the selection. When pulled the live corners on the circle create angled points.
