1. Saving always creates a .tmp file, can't see preview of the file and cannot import AI file to After Effects

   as title says, my Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) always creates a .tmp file whenever i save. I cant see a preview of the file when viewed on Finder. Lastly, I can't import the files i created using AI 2020 to After Effects - it only shows a blank artboard.

   Files are saved with Create PDF compatible File ticked.

   I have also tried resetting the Adobe PDF joboption settings.

   So right now I have 2 AI's installed just so i can continue working with my files.

   How to stop .tmp$$$ when export .png File from Avast Anti-virus

   The cause of this annoying problem came from the ransomware shield function from Avast. This is an easy method to solve this problem.

   1. Go to Avast Antivirus user interface.
   2. Select the protection tab.
   3. Select ransomware shied.
   4. Protected folder by Avast Ransomware shield will appear.
   5. Click the checkbox of the protected file location that you choose to export which shown for protection.(C:\USER\...\Pictures etc.)
   6. When you select, the message of the selected folder and "Stop Protection" button will appear.
   7. Click stop protection.

   after this procedure, you can export .png file or else and preview it as you please. Please try...

2. Illustrator makes mouse curser go slow (not a lagging issue)

   Lets start by saying that Illustrator isn't lagging, It's just the mouse curser that goes slow when on the canvas.

   I use an extra monitor connected to my Macbook macOS Sierra pro 10.12.4 (16E195)

   I have noticed this a few times when using illustrator. It does not happen to any other program, Photoshop, sketch, Chrome etc.

   This might be worth investigating as it is slightly irritating

   Illustrator version 22.0.0

   Cheers

3. Can't move paragraph indent markers back to 0 in tab panel

   Illustrator CC 2018
   Windows 10

   When I try to move the top or bottom indent markers back to zero, it snaps back to its original place.
   If I type 0 in the X: box, it doesn't work.
   If I set it to 1, cliclk in the X: box and press the down arrow on my keyboard, it doens't work.

   The only way to set it back is via the Paragraph panel.

4. Direct Selection tool selects anchors below objects

   Direct Selection tool wrongly selects points hidden underneath filled objects in front of them, when the cursor clicks into a highlighted point.

   It seems that only Windows it behaves as expected when 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display is enabled. Macs still select stuff underneath.

   Originally discussed here at forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/i-m-having-this-issue-with-every-file-now-in-illustrator-object-selecting/m-p/15254043

   Take a look at the GIF attached for a quick demonstration.

   Bundled together with this report, it renders selection in Ai pretty broken :(

5. 特定のテキスト状態のファイルを開くと旧バージョンで保存されたファイルと誤検知される

   Windows11（macOSでも発生すると思われる）
   Illustrator ver.29.0

   再現手順
   １．新規ドキュメントを作成し文字ツールでポイントテキストを入力する。
   ２．１行目を36pt、２行目を10ptで指定する。
   ３．Illustrator2020形式でファイルを保存して閉じる。
   ４．保存したファイルを開くと「このファイルには旧バージョンのIllustratorで作成されたテキストが含まれます……」のダイアログが表示される。変更を確認しても文字のずれなどは見受けられない。

   期待する結果
   ver.29で保存したドキュメントを開く時にダイアログが表示されない。

   実際の結果
   特定のテキスト構成にて旧バージョンで作成されたドキュメントと正確でないダイアログが表示される。
   おそらく誤検知だと思われます。

10. 縦組みのアキ量設定が水平比率の影響を受ける

    ver.22以降（確認できた範囲）
    macOS 10.13〜11.6.7（確認できた範囲）

    縦組みのテキストに対して「アキを挿入（右・下）」を設定した上で水平比率を操作するとその比率に応じてアキ量が変化する。

    1. テキストツールにて縦組みテキストを入力する。
    2. 文字パネルにて「アキを挿入（右・下）」を設定する。 3.. 当該テキストに対して水平比率を設定する。
    3. 文字の縦幅は変わらないがアキ量が水平比率に比例して増減する。

    期待する結果
    縦組みのアキ量は水平比率の影響を受けない。

    実際の結果
    縦組みのアキ量設が水平比率の値によって変化する。

    回避手段
    アキ量設定を使わずにトラッキングによる調整を行う。

    これは単純なバグです。縦組み時に水平比率を調整しても文字の天地は変化しません。しかし、アキ量（上・左）、アキを挿入（右・下）ともに水平比率の値の影響を受けます。横組みと縦組みを同様に処理していると考えられます。

11. 和文組版の横組み文字列中の文字回転

    Illustratorの日本語組版で、横組み文字列中の1文字を回転すると、文字が上下・左右に暴れて表示されてしまいます。
    ※縦組み中ではそういった不具合は観察されません。
    添付ファイルのように検証してみましたが、その回転の際の原点あるいは挙動原理などがよくわかりません。
    例えば、添付ファイル右下のように補正してみても、同じファミリー内でウエイトを変更しただけでもその補正値は変わるようです（平均字面が関係している？）。
    和文書体は、（欧文ベールライン位置や平均字面は様々でも）基本的には正方形の仮想ボディに納められていますので、仮想ボディの中心を回転の原点としていただければ、このような補正の手間がなくなるのではないだろうか？ と考えられます。
    挙動を変更していただければ、作業者の負担も軽減されるでしょう。

    なお、このような「横組み文字列中のひと文字を回転する」という処理は、あまり日常的にすることではありませんので、既存ファイルへの影響も軽微なものであろうと考えていますが、変更していただくならば、【その変更を周知】していただくことは大切なことだと申し添えておきます。

    よろしくお願いします。

The scripts will run as expected if I use the Intel version of Illustrator on the M1 Mac mini, but they return this error when run using the M1 version of Illustrator on the same machine "TARGET COULD NOT BE LAUNCHED(59)". The current culprit seems to be BridgeTalk. Any help would be appreciated, thx!

    The workaround for this is to update to the latest build, 25.3.1, which doesn't contain Bridge related changes for Mac ARM — that's why this error is happening.

    If you still have the issue, please comment back.

18. Selection tool not working with Text

    Intermittently, the selection tool isn't working with my text. For area type, the bounding box will disappear (and "show bounding box" is enabled). When it re-appears, often there is a lag between when I move the text and when the bounding box follows it. If there is no lag, it is not uncommon for the bounding box not to move at all.

    OR my selection tool will (on area type) act only like a direct selection tool. And the transformation controls on each side of a rectangle of the type box will disappear. All I can do is use the selection tool like the direct selection tool and manually move each corner.

    Sometimes, when I click on one piece of type (area or point) another nearby type chunk will select instead. And any formatting I apply gets applied to the wrong text.

    Other times, I can't get the text to select at all. Or clicking on one piece of text will select something completely different (another line of type or a shape).

    This issue resolves itself if I close and reopen my document, however this is extremely disruptive to my workflow. It is also not a RAM issue- I just upgraded from 8gb to 16gb and had this problem on both machines.

    It seems to have started once I updated Illustrator or to High Sierra. For reference, I use an imac display monitor connected via hdmi cord to my laptop when working in illustrator. This issue happens whether I am working on the display screen or my actual laptop screen.

    Ive been working in illustrator for almost 10 years and I've never had this happen before (even on very slow machines in the earlier 2000s).

    The problem is that this error cannot be caught by a try syntax. It will stop the batch process with alerts.

    Also, if app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS is used to prevent the alert, it is not possible to provide detailed information to the script user as to why the artboard was not exported.

    Ideally, the design should be changed so that the error can be caught, or even an empty artboard can be exported.

    Steps to reproduce

    1. open the attached file empty_artboard.ai in Illustrator
    2. execute the script in the Script to execute section or the attached file psd_export.txt (please change the extension to jsx beforehand)

    Expected result

    Errors will be caught and an alert "Caught error" will appear, then safely exit.

    Actual result

    The error penetrates try syntax and the alert is displayed twice. The contents are as follows:
    1. Empty artboard(s) were not exported.
    2. The operation cannot be completed because of an unknown error. [!SEL]

    The error 2 starts to occur in Illustrator 2022 and does not occur in older versions such as Illustrator 2021.

    Workaround

    • Use selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard, etc. to detect empty artboards by myself to avoid the error (to be precise, it is necessary to ignore isolated points and other PageItem that are ignored by the PSD export function by myself).
    • Generate a Rectangle of the same size as the artboard without fill and stroke in advance and export it for avoid the error. An empty image will be successfully exported.

    Environment

    • macOS 12.7.3, 14.3.0(Apple Silicon)
    • Illustrator 2019(23.1.1) to 2024(28.1.0)

    Not sure when this error started, but it reproduces in Illustrator CS6 too.

    空のアートボードをPSDに書き出そうとしたとき起こるエラーをcatchできない

    ExtendScriptのexportFileにてIllustratorのアートボードをPSDに書き出すとき、アートボードに有効なPageItemが含まれていないとエラーが起こり、2つの警告が出ます。

    
    

    問題は、このエラーはtryで囲ってもcatchできないことです。バッチプロセスをアラートで止めてしまいます。

    また、もしapp.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTSでアラートを出ないようにした場合、スクリプトのユーザーになぜアートボードが書き出されなかったか詳しい情報を提供することができません。

    エラーをcatchできるようにするか、空のアートボードでも気にせず書き出すよう変更するのが理想的な設計です。

    再現手順

    1. 添付ファイルempty_artboard.aiをIllustratorで開きます
    2. 実行するスクリプトセクションのスクリプトか、添付ファイルpsd_export.txtを実行します（事前に拡張子はjsxに変えておいてください）

    期待する結果

    エラーはcatchされ「Caught error」とアラートが出たあと安全に終了します。

    実際の結果

    エラーがtry構文を貫通し、アラートが2回表示されます。内容は次の通りです。
    1. Empty artboard(s) were not exported.
    2. The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [!SEL]

    2のエラーはIllustrator 2022から出始めていて、それ以前のIllustrator 2021などでは発生しません。

    回避策

    • selectObjectsOnActiveArtboardなどを使い、空のアートボードを自力で検出してエラーを回避します（正確に言えば、孤立点などPSD書き出し機能に無視されるPageItemを、自力で無視する必要があります）
    • アートボードと同じサイズの塗り・線なしのRectangleを事前に生成して書き出すことで、エラーを出ないようにできます。ただし、何もない画像が書き出しに成功します

    環境

    • macOS 12.7.3, 14.3.0(Apple Silicon)
    • Illustrator 2019(23.1.1)〜2024(28.1.0)

    このエラーがいつからあるのかわかりませんが、Illustrator CS6でも再現します。

      try {
        doc.exportFile(new File('~/Desktop/psd_empty_artboard_error.psd'), ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdOptions) ;
      } catch(e) {

20. Export for Screens via ExtendScript is slow and appears to have stopped

    Description:
    When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it slows down and looks frozen. The rainbow cursor will appear.

    It actually works, and will finish if I wait long enough. It seems to take about 10 times longer than running it manually from the GUI.

    This is especially noticeable when exporting JPEGs. If the image to be exported is large to some extent, it will hardly progress after the progress bar reaches about 99%. CPU usage will be around 100%.
    Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 157.636 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 2.9MB).

    If I manually export the same conditions from the GUI, it will finish immediately.
    Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes about 2 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 1.7MB).

    PNG24 is slower than manual, but it doesn't affect as much as JPEG. The CPU usage was around 160%.
    Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 39.376 seconds.

    It happens under the following conditions.
    • At least Illustrator 2020-2022 (24.3.0-26.0.2)
    • At least 2 environments of macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (Apple Silicon) / Big Sur 11.6 (Apple Silicon)
    • At least two models of MacBook Air (Apple Silicon, 16GB memory) / iMac (Apple Silicon, memory unknown)
    • Run via ExtendScript Document.exportForScreens
    • Option JPG 100,300ppi (artboard size is 1700x1000px)
    • Include transparency in artboard

    It doesn't happen under the following conditions, or the delay is not so noticeable.
    • When executed manually from the GUI
    • When the option is set to JPG 100, 72ppi
    • When the option is set to PNG24, 300ppi
    • When removing the transparency from the artboard

    The following items do not seem to have much effect.
    • Whether to start Illustrator with Rosetta. Rosetta makes it even slower

    Expected behavior:
    When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it works as fast as I do via the GUI.

    ExtendScript経由のスクリーン用に書き出しが遅く，固まる

    説明：
    ExtendScript経由で［スクリーン用に書き出し］を実行すると動作が遅くなり，レインボーカーソルが出て固まったように見えます。実際は動いていて長い時間待てば終わるものの，GUIから手動で実行するのと比べると10倍ほど時間がかかるようです。

    JPEGを書き出すときに顕著です。書き出す画像がある程度大きいと，プログレスバーが99%くらいになった後ほとんど進みません。CPU使用率は100%前後になります。
    例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は157.636秒（できたJPEGの重さは1点につき2.9MB）

    同じ条件の書き出しをGUIから手動で実行すると，すぐに終わります。
    例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は2秒くらい（できたJPEGの重さは1点につき1.7MB）

    PNG24は手動よりは遅いですが，JPEG程大きく影響しません。CPU使用率は160%前後でした。
    例：1700x1000pxのアートボード8枚を300ppiで書き出すとき，かかる時間は39.376秒

    次の条件で起こります。
    • 少なくともIllustrator 2020〜2022(24.3.0〜26.0.2)
    • 少なくともmacOS Monterey 12.0.1(Apple Silicon) / Big Sur 11.6(Apple Silicon)の2環境
    • 少なくともMacBook Air(Apple Silicon, 16GBメモリ) / iMac(Apple Silicon, メモリ不明)の2機種
    • ExtendScriptのDocument.exportForScreens経由で実行
    • オプションJPG 100，300ppi(アートボードサイズは1700x1000px)
    • アートボードに透明効果を含む

    次の条件では起こらないか，遅延がさほど気になりません。
    • GUIから手動で実行したとき
    • オプションをJPG 100，72ppiにしたとき
    • オプションをPNG24，300ppiにしたとき
    • アートボードから透明効果を削除したとき

    次の項目はあまり影響しないようです。
    • IllustratorをRosettaで起動するかどうか。Rosettaにしたらさらに遅くなる

    期待する動作：
    ExtendScript経由で［スクリーン用に書き出し］を実行したとき，GUI経由で行うのと同じくらい速く動きます。
