1. All PNG's exported are blurry

   Every time I export a file to PNG, it comes out blurry. It also appears blurry when I turn on the pixel preview. I have never experienced this problem until I recently updated my version of Illustrator. Exporting to PDF does not cause an issue.

   I am using Windows 10 Pro version 19042.746, with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10500T CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz, Installed ram: 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable), 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

   Illustrator version 25.1

2. Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!

   When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
   I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU

   1. Create a new file.
   2. Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
   3. Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
   4. Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
   5. Try to export the file (Export as..., e.g. JPG). You will see that these objects are not visible in this exported file.

   The objects "come back" only after some further transformations on them.

   Illustrator 27.5
   Windows 10

   In Illustrator 26.5 this bug does NOT appear.

   And by the way: Illustrator 27.6 has a bunch of so many new bugs just after starting it. Please please please test your software yourself before you release it to the customers!
   I will leave the Adobe Software for sure if this style of programming is the future.

3. Exported image changes part of its name to the older artboard’s name

   When renaming artboards prior to export to PNG, the first artboard name change applies but in export its name appears old (as it was before renaming). And it only affects 1 artboard.

   Rotation tool is not developed. It should have been a default value. I can't find the zero angle.

5. exporting PDF files

   You're phasing out eps files. I gather I should now provide logos files in PDF.
   However, I can't export each art board (I use artboards for the variations of the logos I design) as a separate file. I don't believe a client wants a multiple paged PDF for a logo!
   What do you expect our work flow to be?

6. No Rotate arrow for shapes

   When creating shapes with the shape tool, the rotate arrow no longer shows up. If I click in the area where the rotate arrow would normally be, the shape will rotate and the rotate arrow then appears. Any other object other that shapes work as usual when rotating. I end up scaling objects trying to guess where the rotate arrow would be.

7. Adding assets to Asset Export

   Illustrator 2018 is not letting me create a single asset from ungrouped layers. In the previews version the functionality was simple, you just select as many ungrouped layers and it would create a single asset.

   Is this is a new fancy bug?

   Hi Paul,

   You can create single asset from un-groupped layers by holding Opt/Alt key while adding the asset.

   This is intended change in behaviour in Illustrator 2018, creating multiple assets in a single add operation was not possible earlier.

   Thanks

9. AI displays the START SCREEN on opening the file and the document view do not switches (refreshes) the file content.

   v 22.1

   When trying to open an existing file while Illustrator is closed, the software will lag and then hang on the opening screen. The file appears to be opened in the background, but there's no way to access or see it. The opening screen will give options to open additional files or create a new one (as usual) but when trying to do either, nothing will open and no New File Options menu will appear.

   Everything will work normally only if I open Illustrator first and then the file.

   This happens will every file I've tried, so this isn't an issue of corruption.

   Thank you all for reporting this issue and providing us your valuable feedback.

   What we have found out so far is that this issue can happen in multiple workflows. For clear tracking, validation and closure. We will closing this thread for given below two scenarios which we believe are fixed now:

   1)Double click any Ai file to launch Illustrator
   2)Placing files in Illustrator via Bridge.

   For two other scenarios that we know of that can cause this, we have created a separate thread :https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/39220189-ai-displays-the-start-screen-on-opening-the-file-a .If you are encountering the below mentioned issues with latest Version (24.0.1 on Mac and Win), then please vote on newly provided User voice thread and provide Test File via File→Package, Video and steps via dropping email at sharewithai@adobe.com along with this thread link so that we can identify and fix the root cause.

   1. On opening a file in Illustrator the START SCREEN do not gets dismissed and the file’s content is not visible.
   2. While working on a file and opening a new one the document view sticks to the old file and do not switches to the new file artwork.

   Please remember to update graphic driver. We are also seeing cases where updating graphic card driver fixes the issue. You can update your driver via https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-gpu-performance-driver-update.html .

10. SVG text exportation creates a fragmented code

    All texts I wrote in a drawing, when exported to SVG files, were not anymore consistent: fragments of texts were overlapping each others.
    I opened SVG file using a text reader and I discovered that my texts were unnecessarily fragmented in many parts that finally were badly rebuild in the code.

11. Strange behaviour when scaling rectangles

    In Illustrator 28.4.1 on Windows 11, if a rectangle is rotated to 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees, it isn't able to be reliably manually scaled. Some edge and corner handles snap to unpredictable positions when dragged.

12. Current bugs that are making it nearly impossible to get work done

    As I type this, I'm reinstalling AI for the second time this month. This time without saved prefs. Please, Adobe, make this storied and remarkable piece of software STABLE before you talk about giving us new features. I don't want a new icon, I want not to have to explain to my boss that I didn't get anything done this morning because my industry-standard software didn't work.

    AI 24.2 (June 2020)
    MacBook Pro 16"
    2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
    32 GB
    AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
    Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
    1 TB internal SSD, with 2 external SSD scratch disks

    1. Crashes CONSTANTLY. Connect or disconnect a display: crash. Wake computer from sleep: crash. Check email in a different app: crash. Literally, walk away from my desk or use another app for a while: crash. This has been happening since March. I've sent so many reports, complete with what I was doing "to trigger the problem."
    2. Intermittently doesn't update files hosted in the library/cloud.
    3. When a filename in that library is selected, you start typing a new name and it starts selecting tools with keyboard shortcuts.
    4. When making a change to width or height, proportions are locked even if the lock proportions button is unselected.
    5. Align buttons randomly throw the non-key object hundreds of pixels out of place when you're trying to align to center. This one has been going on for years.
    6. New real-time drawing intermittently doesn't work, even on a new document, with only a single vector rectangle and one short sentence of text.
    7. Can't resize certain panel group widths (this started today).
    8. Regularly resets Snap to Pixel, after I've turned it off.
    9. Export for Screens constantly forgets where you last saved a file. Intermittently does this immediately after setting the output location, effectively ignoring my input.
    10. Export for Screens adds a suffix to file names, even if you removed said suffix.

13. Illustrator strips out XMP metadata when exporting PNGs

    From CS1 until CC2017 when exporting PNGs the XMP metadata was preserved; Adobe BROKE this in CC2018/2019/2020! It works for all other file formats. We have production customers that rely on the XMP metadata matching between the Illustrator file and the exported PNG. FIX IT! Photoshop fixed this bug in their most recent release - why are you behind?

14. Unable to catch error that occurs when exporting empty artboard to PSD

    en_US

    When exporting Illustrator artboards to PSD using ExtendScript's exportFile, if the artboard does not contain valid PageItems, an error occurs and two alerts are displayed.

    
    

    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。

    添付したファイル

    • error1.png
    • error2.png
    • empty_artboard.ai
    • psd_export.txt

    実行するスクリプト

    (function() {
      var doc = app.documents[0] ;
      var psdOptions = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop() ;
    
      try {
        doc.exportFile(new File('~/Desktop/psd_empty_artboard_error.psd'), ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdOptions) ;
      } catch(e) {
        alert('Caught error') ;
      }
    })() ;

    When I save the attached document as SVG in any setting, the stripe patterns had gone completely. I checked up the exported SVG file and noticed the pattern ID defines itself correctly, but actual tag id referenced by "xlink:href" attribute is a wrong mojibake-ID.

    And I know this will not happen when use "Export for Screen". It export correctly, but not scriptable. I think it very strange...

16. Bug: exporting SVG's via exportFile(fileObjSingle, ExportType.SVG, svgOptions). has completely changed since 28.4

    (macOS & Windows, latest versions) Beginning with Illustrator 28.4, SVG files exported via Javascript are in a very different format.

    The following examples are exported with:

    doc.exportFile(fileObjSingle, ExportType.SVG, svgOptions);

    The SVG option for the format of the SVG is STYLEELEMENTS.

    See attached captures for the differences.

    There are many many changes:

    • the style definitions are handled differently
    • ID's now strip out characters like / or < instead of replacing them with entities
    • the original names are included via data-name tags
    • the comment from the 2nd line is now gone
    • clipping paths are handled differently

    I have built a complex program over many years that depends on special characters in the SVG ID's, and it is now completely broken.

    Does anyone know how to get back the previous SVG export format?

    Does anyone know if this is a bug that will be fixed?

17. Spot colours in gradients are not exported to PDF

    If I have a gradient that includes a spot colour, and then export that file as a PDF, the spot colour is removed from the gradient. This happens no matter what PDF export setting I use.

    See example images attached.

    Illustrator: 25.2.1
    Mac OS: 11.2.3 (20D91), Apple Silicon

18. Some menu items are missing access keys (underline letters when Alt is held)

    On Windows, Alt keys can be used to access all menus via keyboard.
    When you hold Alt, a letter that you can press to access a particular item is underlined.

    Some items though are missing these underlines, specifically:

    Edit > Spelling, My Settings, Edit Colors
    Object > Collect for Export
    Window > Extensions, Find Extensions on Exchange, Workspace, Toolbars... most panels here, including newer ones.

    Some are less needed, some are more important.
    Please don’t miss these. It feels like new items loose these (except for new Select Same Text options — good job!)

20. Performance issues in pixel preview on 5K retina screen

    When working in pixel preview mode on the retina screen of my iMac, the scrolling and zooming in Illustrator are very laggy. Please do the needful ASAP or we plan to move to "Affinity" because illustrator is unusable for me and its impact our workflow.
