  1. duplicates all the placed images

    Every time I open a document with images I get an alert about images not found, without having moved them since I saved the document and when I locate them again, when the document is opened all the duplicate images appear, and it places them in the center of the document . I attach a screenshot of how duplicate images appear to me

  2. Illustrator (still) cannot read TIF files.

    When can we remedy this? I cannot open or place a TIF file in Illustrator 27.6.1. The error message is the file is an unknown format and can't be opened.

    There are reports on this page still open from 2021. When will this be fixed?

    I have several TIFs from a museum to lay out for printing and I'm having to individually bring them all in to photoshop and export them as a different format.

  3. EPS color bug

    Adobe illustrator keeps changing the colors of .eps images that I link. Both profiles are set to RGB so that should not be a problem.

  4. rotating and croping causing jagged banding

    Rotating and croping an image leads to an odd banding pattern appearing through the image. This does not occur when clipping using a clipping mask or when only cropped or only rotated.

  9. When relinking a file, the last accessed folder gets opened and not the one that had the link

    We need and option to open the folder containing a linked file when a link is missing or we choose "Relink file", instead of open last folder.

  10. Linked PDFs resizing when pasted

    If you open a multi page PDF in Illustrator and then copy and paste it either into the same document or a different one, it changes from cropping to the bounding box to whatever was specified last in the File/Place options dialogue box and scales up or down to fit the same space.

    If I place a file (any file) and specify cropping to Bounding Box, and then open the same multi page PDF as before, the problem does not occur. It appears that by opening a multi page PDF it crops to bounding box but by copying and pasting…

  12. 1 bit TIFF files still importing inverted after all these years

    It's been a while since I needed to import a 1 bit tiff file into Illustrator (maybe two years?) And I was so surprised to see this problem still occurs even in version 24.0.3

    Does anyone know a fix bedside inverting it in Photoshop before importing it?
    This is a no go, because when people open the file who aren't experiencing the the problem, it's wrong again.

  15. Cannot update links from links panel

    Cannot update links by clicking "update" icon in links panel or by going to panel menu > Update Links. They do nothing. I have to wait until AI shows the "Some links need updating..." alert and then confirm to update or I have to close/open the file.

    What the heck happened in the latest update(s)? Feels like all of the panels are super busted.

  16. Link option in inactive in the Place dialog, even after a name is pasted from clipboard

    I am working on a huge document with hundreds of linked images. All files are now changed due to company policy. So I need to relink a bunch of files. This is not possible automatically so I believed I found a solution. But the shortcut was devastating. If i choose say 10 links which have the same name, lets call them Image1 but now the name should be Image01. Same image is in other words used in several places in same file. I marked the links and chose Relink. So far so good.
    I choose the new name Image01.ai and…

  17. .TIF are distorted when placed and rotated in AI

    There is a bug in Illustrator 22.0.1 that distorts placed .tif files that are rotated. It is not just a display issue, but actually distorts the placed .tif image when I export my art to all file types. Attached is a before and after screen shot of what I am experiencing, using a bitmap .tif as a texture placed over my vector art. The two .tif files are the same, one just rotated 90°.

  18. Link location mistaken for other document's link location

    When opening a specific document, links are found missing.

    When I open the document nevertheless, click on a link and check the location, the path it shows is one that was used in a previously opened, unrelated document.

    When my colleague opens the document on her computer, everything is fine.

  19. リンク画像の拡縮率の表示がバージョンにより違う

    1.macOS14.8.1 Illustrator2024(28.7.10)  Illustrator2026(30.1) 
    2.背景が透明・レイヤー状態のpsd画像またはtif画像をイラストレーター2024と2026に配置をしました。画像の埋め込みはしていません。
    3.イラストレーター2024と2026の結果が同じになると思っていました。イラストレーター2024の拡縮率%が正しいと思っています。
    4.リンクパネルのリンク情報領域の拡大・縮小の数値がイラストレーター2024と2026で結果が異なります。2024は100%。2026は20.571%になります。

  20. Rasterize creates a thin horizontal bright stripe / line

    I tried to rasterize my clipped mask short design (images & vector within), but the result raster was damaged white line on it.
    after I tried other anti-aliasing option to none, it seems done fine and without damage. So I think it's from the anti-aliasing option which caused it.
    Windows 11, Illustrator 30.1
