Fehler: Zeichenfläche verdoppelt beim Anpassen an Grafik
Windows 11 Pro, AI.30.2.1.. ich markiere meinen Pfad und öffne "Zeichenflächen". Ich wähle "An ausgewählte Grafik anpassen". Bestätige. Nun sollte Zeichenfläche 1 eine neue Größe haben.
Währenddessen wird die Zeichenfläche verdoppelt und eine Zeichenfläche 2 erzeugt.
Der Fehler tritt nicht auf, wenn man sehr lange wartet zwischen den Arbeitsschritten. Also ca. das Fenster 1 Minute geöffnet lässt.Das Problem besteht seit ein paar Tagen. Eigentlich sollte die Zeichenfläche nur angepasst werden, nicht verdoppelt.

PDF/X-4 Export Produces Non-Compliant PDFs in Illustrator v30.2.1
In v28, when exporting PDF/X-4 via an Action or script, inserting a "Convert to Working CMYK" step into the workflow allowed consistent production of PDF/X-4 compliant files with no preflight errors.
In v30, following the exact same workflow with identical files and the same preset now produces non-compliant PDFs. Acrobat preflight reports two distinct errors that did not occur in v28.
Preflight Error #1 — Placed image ICC profile conflict:
"CMYK source profile is the same as the PDF/X output intent destination profile (201 occurrences, 2 pages)"Cause: Placed PSD files have Japan Color 2001 Coated embedded as an ICC…
2 votesWe are aware of a scenario this happens but it was reproducible in 28.x as well. If the Document Color Profile and Output Intent Color profile are different then we observe this issue. Please confirm the color settings you have used and also share the test file to sharewithai@adobe.com to validate the above case.
In the above case, assigning the document color profile to "Japan Color 2001 Coated" produce a compliant PDF/X file. Please try this workaround and let us know.

BUG: Swatch color not changing with selection of different element.
When selecting individual elements in my .ai file, the swatch bar does not show the actual color. Instead, it shows the previously selected color.
Something changed - you used to be able to select an element and easily determine which color it was. This glitch is a major problem - as I'm trying to prep my files for print and a small error will be quite costly.
Instead, I have to double-click the "fill" color in the top of the swatch bar to open up the cmyk build

Illustrator slow and laggy with text
When I'm trying to edit a text box, illustrator turns very slow and laggy. With a simple text box. When I try to change font size, or writting, it takes ages to assume it. And the document turns very slow.
Please help with this issue

Swatches panel not correctly displaying "Registration Black" swatch label, showing random characters, in a template file
Opening up a company template .ait file and Swatches panel not displaying "Registration Black", but instead showing random characters. Wanted to know cause, if can be prevented, and/or corrected. Also if this is just some odd bug.
We do have a central server location to access file since we do have in-office and remote workers. Everyone is instructed though regardless of location to grab files and work locally, but can not guarantee that this is done 100% of the time.

Spot Colors Won't Update In Linked Items
Spot Colors are not immediately updating for linked items when adjusting the color values of the swatch. The change will only show after a few seconds, when the file is embedded, or when overprint preview is enabled. Previous versions of illustrator allowed spot colors to be updated for linked items immediately. Spot color adjustments only immediately affect objects that are embedded or built within the file.
Using illustrator for color separations requires me to edit the appearance of spot white to be visible in different circumstances between film and art files.

Text object becomes corrupted and cannot apply gradient or appearance
Illustrator on Windows 11 sometimes turns normal point text into a broken area text object.
When this happens:
- “Convert to Point Type” does not appear
- The text behaves like a text box even though it was created as point text
- The Appearance panel cannot add a new fill (button is greyed out)
- Applying a gradient turns the text completely black
- Copy/paste keeps the corrupted state unless pasted as plain textThis issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.I am…

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…

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…

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。

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 VerticalTriggering 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…

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.

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.

SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. Works in earlier versions (tested in 2024)
SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. I can open them in Illustrator 2024, and paste them into 2026. But opening the file in 2026 results in a totally blank artboard. Perhaps the parse is broken? Something got worse between these versions...
