  1. Cutting out parts of the exported PNG

    Exporting "saveforweb" PNG cut all the logos a few pixels in.

    P.S. ever since CC was released (and started renting out your software) the quality went down, your software doesnt work well with macos catalina. BOOOOOOO Adobe. BOOOOOOOO.

  2. UI Panels not rendering with Catalina update

    The panels in the user interface for both Illustrator and Photoshop have started not rendering properly (aka disappearing) both for the document panel and for workspace panels the ever since upgrading to Catalina on Mac. This most commonly happens when pressing "F" to switch between document views. Other times when switching from another application to the Illustrator or Photoshop window, the entire document disappears despite the Window dropdown menu saying it is open.

    I have contacted Adobe Customer Support and they have continually told me to delete my preference files (Illustrator) or turn on/off Legacy compositing (Photoshop). Despite doing these,…

  5. Cannot make invisible/visible layers

    Cannot manage my layers. The "eye" of the layers look like not working.
    Like you can see in my capture, the layers are not visible mode but still visible.

    Restarting computer is a waste of time, didnt work.
    I need this function to work obviusly. So fix them because I must spend my time looking for another version ( and I paid for the 2020 )

  6. Spanish mistraslation

    When you choose Object > Path > Simplify and go to advanced options, the line: "Show original path" is mistranslated to: "Mostrar ruta original". It should be: "Motrar trazado original".

    "Path" could mean ruta or trazado, in this case means trazado.

  14. Objects sliding when switching between outline and preview

    Most of the times I'm working with quite simple graphics (preparing already existing logos and graphics for printing).

    Sometimes when switching from preview to outline view, and back, I notice that some objects aren't where they are supposed to be. In outline view they are at their supposed position, but in preview they are somewhere else. It isn't a big problem when I notice it happening - the problem is when I don't and print it like that. When I notice it, moving the object, pressing unite, or several other actions will make the object pop back to their right…

  15. Part of text disappears when printing upside-down

    I am printing a piece of art with text. When rotating the document upside down in the print dialogue window, the printed version lacks letters. It looks like only the first letter gets printed. This is not a printer issue either, tested printing from PDF and it worked fine.
    See attached for the example. The right half is how it should be, left half is what comes out - small "B" is missing.

  16. Save as PDF in CC2020 cannot open with CC2014

    I noticed if I was to save a PDF file in CC2020, a customer using CC2014 is unable to open it. I compared the PDF files to see how it is different.

    If a PDF was saved using CC2014 it generates the colors like this:

    [ /Separation /ATHLETIC#20GOLD /DeviceCMYK << /C0 [ 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 ]

    But If a PDF was saved using CC2020 it generates the colors like this:
    [/Separation/ATHLETIC#20GOLD/DeviceCMYK<</C0[0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0]

    Due to this settle difference, can this be the reason why the file is unable to open in CC2014?

  18. Illustrator fundamentals

    • When panning around in mid full screen view, defect stripes keeps appearing all over the screen. Disappears when zooming one time.
    • Zoom should be zooming to position of mouse, but it zooms "all over the place" when close up.
    • Pathfinder substract creates unnecessary amount of anchor points + gaps. Even with setting 0,001 in Pathfinfer options

    This has been going on for years, and Adobe is informed about these fundamental bugs several times. Time to fix the fundamentals and clean up the bugs.
