  2. Video driver error

    I have 2 video drivers on my computer, the base version and the fully upgraded one. Each time I open Illustrator, it warns me that my driver is outdated yet both drivers register as connected.

  4. GPU Preview Disabled when Importing CMYK/RGB Vectors through CC Libraries

    In the latest version of Illustrator (25.2.1) If you try place a linked vector file through Libraries into a document that is in a different format eg. CMYK into an RGB document or RGB into a CMYK Document and it is a vector, GPU acceleration is disabled. This does not occur in Illustrator 24.

    I've tested this by opening a CMYK Document, placing a linked CMYK file and everything works as expected. If you place a linked RGB vector it will cause the GPU to stop working. The opposite works the same way, placed a linked CMYK file into an…

  5. There are standards that cannot be selected when saving PDF

    I'm using Bigsur (not M1).
    When I try to create a PDF in Illustrator 25.1, I can't select the latest standard.
    You can save it to another Catalina Mac with the same version installed as usual (the bright UI is a normal image).

  7. Filename field no longer first in focus when saving

    Mac OS 11.2.2
    Illustrator 25.2

    This actually affects Pshop as well I've noticed. Used to be when I save a file (typically done from the keyboard) the save dialog appears I can start typing the filename I want to save, and the field is already in focus and placeholder text selected. Now I need to leave the keyboard to click into the field or tab several times to get the field in focus. More of an inconvenience than it sounds to be but my workflow is dependent on timeliness and leaving the keyboard this much adds up, especially when I've…

  8. Error when pasting if one symbol is built with symbol font

    I'm working with maps in Illustrator and for a long time copying and pasting text inside an illustrator document has been acting weird. Each time I paste, the text is being pasted, but also added to the text is one or a few letters from a symbol font. It's like when copying text, it also copies something else.

    Today I noticed that I have one symbol which is basically one of the letters in one of my symbol fonts. (not outlined) And when outlined that symbol instead I noticed that pasting text no longer added the symbol font in the…

  11. SVG export

    Export Artboards as SVGs doesn't seem to work in the latest update (25.2.1). I often export svgs and pngs together from artboards and have never had a problem until this morning when using the updated app. It exports the pngs fine but doesn't export the svgs at all. I reverted my Illustrator back to 25.2 version and it works fine. I have a computer with windows 10 and have not experienced issues with this feature before.

  13. New Document dialog box text fields - highlighting of text fails consistently

    1. Illustrator 25.2.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Home

    2. Selecting the 'Create New' button on home screen (without no documents opened).

    3. When configuring the document on the right pane of the New Document dialog box, I expect to be able to (consistently) select text (e.g. width and height values) in the text fields by doing a press-and-drag to highlight it on the right pane of the dialog box.

    4. However, I wasn't able to highlight the text in the New Document dialog box. Instead, I have to press Backspace on the keyboard to delete the default before I can change them. Several tests…

  15. Can an illustrator / photoshop PDF be used as a template to generate PDFs in nodejs (or any other language)?

    I work a lot with generating PDF reports and what I constantly do is:

    Design the pdf in illustrator / photshop
    Lay it out with HTML using a library that changes from HTML to PDF (Using DOMPDF in PHP, html-pdf in nodejs, or a java parser that I can't remember its name).
    Implement it in the system using the variables to be substituted, like any other view (using blade in laravel, handlebars in nodejs, and java iText in Java)
    To which I wonder, is there a way to go from point 1 to point 3? In other words, export a…

  16. Cannot Preview - Mac m1

    Cannot Preview in Illustrator on Mac m1, running Mac OS 11.2.3.
    I just upgraded Illustrator. I have worked on this file for a couple of hours. It is a file with several items and many paths. All of a sudden I lost Preview mode. Even after restarting the computer, I cannot get the preview back on all of these items by using Command Y. I manually turned on eyeballs in the layers pallet, it turned on a couple of items but then warning dialog appeared again. I don't know if this is a bug or my computer gone awry..

  20. Overprint

    Overprints do not show in presentation mode, both overprint attributes and Pathfinder trapping. See attached image shots.
    This is true in both version 25.2.1 (64bit), as well as beta version 25.3.192@232370(64bit) - Windows 10 Home version 1909
