  2. [Bug] Area text with Auto-size and stroke applied

    1:
    Version: CC18 (22.0.0) 64bit Windows 7

    2:

    a) Draw out area text box using type tool and type a few words
    b) Double click to convert to auto-size (or set check mark in Area Type Options)
    c) Area type options > Offset - Inset spacing: any value other than 0 - note: this step is not required to recreate the bug I've included as the stroke below would look odd without it.

    Please contact plugin developer for an updated plugin. I checked their website they already have a CC 2018 compatible available for sale.

  5. save as OR save a copy using artboards does not save separate artboard files at all.

    Only export works as expected. But if you want to save each artboard as PDF it does not.

    It seems to be the IME behavior, therefore we are closing this ticket as of now.

    Thanks.

    The setting you are referring to only controls visibility – does not clear the list. Sure way of clearing the recent history is to clear Illustrator preferences.

  11. My mobile creations do not show up in illustrator

    When I open Adobe Illustrator (2017.1.0 Release / 21.1.0), I do not get the Mobile Creations option any longer.

    I am running Mac OS Sierra (10.12.6) on a 2014 MacBook Pro.

    This issue has been occurring for about the last six months or so.

    I can send a mobile creation from my iPad to Illustrator.

  13. Losing Days on the Free Trial

    I was opening Adobe Illustrator on a free trial. When I opened it, I lost a day of my free trial! I feel as I was cheated of an extra day to use Illustrator. I think to improve free trials, that you shouldn't lose any days when you do not use the program. I expected 7 days of my free trial but in the end only got to use 2 days! That is completely absurd! Even when I tried the free trial for Photoshop the same happened.

    This is unfortunate because I know that Illustrator is one of those top…

    The issue is file sync services lock the file while syncing to their servers. At this point of time we do not support this workflow.
