Actions do not save SVG options
Actions do not save the SVG Options for future use. I deselect Responsive and when I go back to the action at a later date the box is checked.
Please save the options in Actions.

Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files
I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working…

Actions don’t record renaming of groups, don’t remember the choice in Expand dialog
I'm recording Actions to in Illustrator CC 2018 ( 22.1) and I've found a few things lacking:
1) When I group objects, and name the group, while recording an action the name does not get recorded.
The group just bears the name "group".2) If you choose "Expand" while recording an action and choose from the available options (Fill, Stroke, etc.), you are asked to make that choice again when the action runs — not much of an Action!
Aside from the above I find the lack of Conditional Action, as per Photoshop, feature disappointing: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33770071
Are there any fixes…

Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute
Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute.
WHY IT IMPORTANT?
All screen printing industry works with same Predefined spot colors, some of them isn’t exist in Pantone solid colors palette (like a White, and a Base) some exist, like a Black, but much more simple to make a custom spot Black color - when you make a color separation and printing films with HOST SEPARATION option on
So for speed up the process - I’ve decided to make a small & simple action, which will create three predefined custom spot colors: Spot White, Base, and Spot Black. In the…

Overprint black does not record in action in CC2018
In CS6 it was possible to record the properties of the Edit > Edit Colors > Overprint Black command into an action.
In CC2018 (22.1) this is no longer possible and would appear to be a bug.

Action batch in Ai 2025 is slow
illustrator CC2025 actions batch with data sets is slower then previous version CC2024.
In Illustrator CC2024 it is not so fast but now in CC2025 is even more slower for the same template and datasets and action. Data sets with action save PDF in batch process is slower dat for example InDesign’s Datamerge to PDFfiles.2 votes -
Direct selection tool doesn't work 90% of the time
90% of the time when I use the direct selection tool (and I'm sure I am using the rght tool because the curser turns white as it should when this tool is selected) I can't manipulate anchors and instead am dragging the entire shape.

スクリプトでアクションを実行するとフリーズする
Illustratorのアクションに「⌘+A」といういわゆる「すべて選択」アクションを作成し、「Select All」という名前を付けます。
Apple Script で「do script "Select All" from "testAction"」を実行すると、Illustrator がフリーズします。
この現象はver.25.2頃のバージョンでは発生していませんが、それ以降のバージョンでは発生します。
改善されることを願っています。
Create a so-called "Select All" action called "⌘+A" in Illustrator's actions and name it "Select All".
Illustrator freezes when you run "do script "Select All" from "testAction"" in Apple Script.
This phenomenon does not occur in versions around ver.25.2, but it does occur in later versions.
I hope it improves.

No option to stop recording an action when resetting workspace
When recording an action with Button Mode unchecked in the actions panel, there is currently no way to stop recording the action if you reset your Workspace with your Workspace having button mode enabled. As far as I know, there are also no hotkeys to start/stop recording for Actions either. Forced to restart Illustrator otherwise.

Batching an action with variables works wrong
I have an action that:
- Selects "Next Data Set"
- Runs a recolour script to colour the artwork based on data set values
- Then "save as copy"
When it is run once it works as expected and saves the current data set as a copy PDF and advances to the next data set. When the action is run as a Batch Action the action goes nuts! It advances multiple data sets values and saves as a completely different data set name. This wouldn't really be an issue if I had 10 or 20 data sets, but I have over 1000 —…

Using Batch... and "Override save/export commands" does not work
Example: I have an action that prepares a logo file, then saves to ai and svg, and exports to png and jpg.
I have it recorded as an action, and it runs great.
If I try to use "Batch..." to run it on a folder of images I have options to "Override Action 'Save' commands" and "Override Action 'Export' commands" that will let you point the save/export commands to a new folder. This is great in theory, but does not work right.
After running the batch, I only have 2 files. Not 4. The Save as AI then SVG steps…

Buttons in Properties panel not recording in an action
When recording an action, there are things in the Properties panel that does not record properly.
Example: Flip horizontally/vertically. The buttons does not record, but choosing the same options from the Transform panel menu does record.
Is anyone maintaining Actions in Illustrator? It is awesome, but still needlessly limited due to many things not recording, forced hard-coded paths when recording save steps, etc.
Perhaps learn a little from Photoshop where actions work better (though still limited).2 votes
