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.3 votes -

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…3 votes -
.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°.

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.

Links Panel / Relink feature freezes and stops responding during batch production work
When working on repetitive batch production tasks (such as updating multiple Amazon product listing variations where images are continuously relinked and embedded), the Links panel / Relink feature frequently breaks or stops responding entirely. Clicking the "Relink" button or using the context menu does nothing, effectively freezing that specific panel's functionality.
Currently, the only workaround is to completely shut down Adobe Illustrator and reload multiple project files, which heavily disrupts high-volume production workflows and wastes significant work time.

Illustrator 30.6 freezes indefinitely while editing AI files with embedded PNG images
Since updating to Illustrator 30.6, Illustrator randomly freezes while editing AI documents.
The freeze is not a normal slowdown. The application becomes completely unresponsive and can remain frozen for several minutes or even indefinitely.
I have already tested:
Reinstalled Illustrator.
Tested multiple NVIDIA driver versions.
GPU Performance enabled and disabled.
System Compatibility Report shows No conflicts.
Illustrator correctly detects the RTX 4060 GPU.
The AI files are not unusually large.
Removing one placed PNG/PSD image sometimes eliminates the freeze, even though the image size is normal (around 1500–2000 px).CPU and GPU usage remain very low while Illustrator is frozen.

Link to a EPS file can cause saved file to be unopenable
Apparently having a link to a specific EPS file can cause the AI file to be unopenable after being saved (cause "file partially opened" dialog, loading only the previews).
Unfortunately, I can't join the EPS file causing the bug. The EPS file seems to be normal.
Once I saved the EPS to AI and replace with the link to the AI image, the bug disappears.

Linked Images approximately above 268 megapixels render blank in illustrator (macOS)
System Information
Illustrator Version - 30.6
Operating System
macOS Tahoe - V 26.5.2Hardware
Apple M1 MaxI have identified what appears to be an undocumented rendering limitation or bug affecting very large linked raster images in Adobe Illustrator.
Illustrator successfully creates the link and the object appears in the document, however the linked image renders completely blank. No warning or error message is displayed.
After extensive testing, the behaviour appears to correlate only with the total pixel count of an individual linked image, rather than file format, colour mode, GPU settings or computer hardware.

Sizes of vector art is NOT accurate
When I select a vector graphic (a logo), I go to Transform to set the size.
I set the size to 3in x 3in
But when I PRINT and measure the graphic, it is NOT 3in x 3in.
I have to set the graphic to 3.1in x 3.1in in order to output an actual 3in x 3in graphicThis has caused me a LOT of issues when I am outputting graphics that need to be a specific size.
WHY are the transform measurements NOT accurate?

Linked files are displayed broken when opened
My linked files are not working properly about 40% of the time. When I open them, they often display outdated colors, overlapping artwork, or other incorrect content. This issue has been happening consistently for almost five months, and it's becoming extremely frustrating.
Sometimes everything works perfectly, but on days like today, every single linked file is incorrect. My only workaround is to repeatedly restart Illustrator—sometimes 20 times a day—and I've also tried restarting my computer, but the problem keeps coming back.
This ongoing issue is having a significant impact on my workflow, and I would really appreciate any help identifying…

Adobe Illustrator 2026 Crashes with Uncompressed TIFF (Compression: None)
Dear Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,
I am reporting what appears to be a compatibility regression or TIFF parsing issue that causes Adobe Illustrator to crash consistently when opening documents containing specific TIFF images saved with Compression = None (Uncompressed TIFF).
Adobe Illustrator 2026 on Windows
Standard TIFF, no compression
Interleaved (RGBRGB) pixel order
IBM PC (Little Endian) byte orderIllustrator crashes immediately when opening or placing TIFF files saved without compression.
The same files become fully functional after being re-saved using LZW compression, without any changes to image content, dimensions, color mode, bit depth, or metadata.
This behavior strongly suggests…

SAVED AS .ai files going back to older directories for linked files. BUG with links
This has happened several times over the last 6 months. I regularly will open an .ai doc I did a few months ago (generally saved onto an SSD external drive), save as to my desktop (mac mini m4) and do updates to linked images in the file. Later the new .ai is packaged when finished and all the linked files are in the LINK folder. However, after closing and opening the file the next day, or days later, the .ai file has gone back to the original folder location and picked up the old links (linked names are generally saved…

Illustrator crash on relinking image
Windows 11, all Adobe software up to date, Illustrator 30.2.1 (64-bit)
Raster artwork in my Illustrator files is stored in a folder adjacent to my Illustrator folder. Occasionally, I must insert a file into the numbering structure, so the raster artwork becomes 'orphaned'. So, when I open the Illustrator file, I get the relink artwork dialogue box. If I hit relink, a relink box appears, followed instantly by a Gaussian blur dialogue box with a 100% blue bar, and Illustrator freezes, requiring a shutdown via Task Manager.
If I reset my preferences (a 2-minute job using AG Astute Manager), it…

When relinking images, one of the images appears as their original sizing and not the size of the image being replaced, just on new update
When relinking multiple images, one of the image appears as their original sizing and not the size of the image being replaced, This is just after receiving the new update (I do this everyday). This is not always true, sometimes it works fine. but most of the time it doesn't. I'm using Mac.

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.
