  2. Problem mit verknüpften Bildern in platzierten Illustrator-Dateien seit Update 30.2.1

    Seit dem Update von Adobe Illustrator auf Version 30.2.1 tritt ein Problem im Umgang mit platzierten Verknüpfungen auf, das zuvor nicht vorhanden war.

    Beschreibung des Problems:

    Wenn in einer Illustrator-Datei ein Bild platziert und als Verknüpfung (nicht eingebettet) eingefügt wird und diese Illustrator-Datei anschließend wiederum in eine zweite Illustrator-Datei platziert oder eingebettet wird, erscheint das verknüpfte Bild aus der ersten Datei in der zweiten Datei nicht mehr.

    Das Bildfeld bleibt leer, obwohl die Verknüpfung korrekt vorhanden ist.

    Erwartetes Verhalten (wie in früheren Versionen):
    In vorherigen Illustrator-Versionen wurden verknüpfte Bilder innerhalb einer platzierten .ai-Datei korrekt angezeigt, auch wenn diese Datei in…

  4. Unable to move Layer into Sub-layers

    Illustrator makes no sense. I have a Layer full of vectors, but when I try to insert that layer into another layer to become a sub-layer, Illustrator refuses to acknowledge my request. In what world would prohibit me from such a simple task?

  5. 2026 Illustrator UI Bugs EVERYWHERE!!!!!

    Seriously, do you guys even use your own products? These issues are not buried, they are very apparent. Take a look at the attached screenshots. Gradients have been broken for a while now.

    Also, this new version is full of bugs. I have to restart Illustrator immediately after opening for the bounding box to work, half the time adobe fonts are broken and wont sync.

    Windows 11, i9, 4080 super, 64gb ram, 2gb download speed... I have all the things you need for a fast and efficient workflow, but Adobe's legacy code mixed with all the new bugs from the…

  6. My subscription keeps flagging that two people are using my account

    I'm a small business and have always used Adobe products on two computers. On one computer I mainly use Illustrator and Photoshop, and on the other I mostly view PDFs or make minor updates. Sometimes I have several PDFs open while working. Now my subscription keeps flagging that two people are using my account, and days later I get logged out, which complicates everything. Because of this, I've reduced it to only one computer signed in and now use Chrome and other non-Adobe applications to view and update PDFs. At $799 per year, and likely increasing, its just not worth…

  7. Extensions not accessible

    Extensions are not accessible. They appear as greyed out in the menu. I'm running version 30.2.1 on a Mac running Tahoe 26.3. I noticed the problem when trying to launch an extension that I'd downloaded and previously used on other versions. "Libraries" are also greyed out, and I went to the plugins section of Creative Clouded and added a new plugin. I can see it in the menu but they all remain greyed out.

  8. Illustrator Czech Locale Brush Anomaly: Extra Brush and Deletable Protected Brush

    I found an inconsistency in the Czech locale of Illustrator (tested in v29 and v30, Windows 10, macOS).

    When creating a new document in the Czech locale, there is one extra default calligraphic brush compared to all other 18 locales. On top of that, the default calligraphic brush that is normally protected from deletion (in every other locale) can be freely deleted in Czech.

  9. New Glitch in Smart Guides, highlighting perspective grid-like points

    Theres a new update glitch in smart guides, when I have an object selected, a bunch of perspective grid-like highlights.

    This setting is connected with object highlighting in smart guide settings. If i shut off object highlighting in Illustrator>Preferences>Smart Guides>Object Highlighting, the issue stops.

    Seems like just a new bug glitch in a recent illustrator update.

  10. Script selection/appearance modification causes error 8702

    I am using a script to change the appearance of an object (fill color of an ellipse shape). Since there is no way to access appearance properties directly (which would be lovely to get someday), I am using a known workaround with defaultFillColor on the selected document.

    app.activeDocument.selection = [item.obj];
    app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = item.newCol;
    

    Unfortunately, the selection seems to leave Illustrator in a weird state, and any further script command (e.g. next iteration of the loop) fails with "Error 8702: there is no active document."

    This sometimes goes away if I use CPU instead of GPU preview, though not reliably. And…

  12. App crash while using pen tool causing total file loss

    I had made a copy of the file attached and drew it for hours. And suddenly when using the pen tool the whole app crashed and caused me to lose 8 hours of work. Extremely disappointed.

  13. 文字が欠ける原因を知りたい

    Adobe イラストレーターからPDFに変換する場合、CubeとMicrosoft PDFでは正常に変換できますが、イラストレーターで「別名で保存する」でAdobe PDFを選んで変換すると、写真のように文字が欠けてしまいました。今までも長い間同じ方法でやっていたのですが、今回、こんな現象が現れました。対処の仕方を教えてください。

  16. Illustrator crashes when triggering an action to flip an object horizontally or vertically.

    I think I’ve finally narrowed this down!
    I’ll cut to the chase:

    • macOS Sonoma 14.7.5
    • Illustrator v30.2.1

    • Custom Action #1: Transform Panel > Flip Horizontal
    • Custom Action #2: Transform Panel > Flip Vertical

    Triggering Actions #1 or #2 with the play button in the Actions Panel - or a hotkey linked to the action - is successful if:
    • The Transform Panel is open in a Panel and is the Active Tab
    • The Transform Panel is completely closed (triggering the actions then open the Panel floating somewhere in the workspace)

    Triggering Actions #1 or #2…

  17. Hitting Down with an artboard selected in Artboards panel now moves it on canvas instead of in the list

    In the newest update, if I have an artboard highlighted in the panel and I hit the down arrow, it used to go down the artboard list. But now it nudges the actual artboard.
    I acknowledge that nudging artboards could maybe be useful for something (though I can't think of what) but being able to navigate the list with arrows is much more valuable in my opinion.

  18. 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.

  19. Selected Fill Color/Stroke is stuck to one color and won't change.

    Hello! I'm using MacOS, and I'm on Illustrator 2026. When I was trying to change the fill gradient of my font, I ran into a glitch where the colors would not change. It's stuck to the original color I had originally. When trying to change the fill color, it changes on the interface but not when I draw. I've tried exiting out of Illustrator but it's still stuck. Even when adding text, it's stuck on black instead of yellow/any other color and it won't change.

  20. PDF with negative values for BleedBox, MediaBox shows incorrectly

    A PDF with negative values for the lower left corner of BleedBox, MediaBox and a TrimBox that has its lower left corner at (0,0) shows differently in Illustrator and Acrobat. Acrobat (and other PDF viewers) show the contents as expected, in Illustrator the content seems shifted.

    The attached example PDF has three different pages, the first two pages look as expected, the last page (with the negative values) does not look the same in Illustrator and Acrobat.
