Lines under 1pt render thick in PDF
In Illustrator, lines thinner than 1pt end up rendering a mess (thick, out of alignment) when viewed in PDF. This is fixed in the viewer by un-checking "Enhance Thin Lines", but it is unreasonable to ask every client of a designer to update that setting. Furthermore it's impossible to un-check this setting, for example on the Vistaprint website where the PDF preview of an AI file is used as the product proof.
Please fix this. There have been a million excuses on why this is not a bug but a feature, but we NEED the ability to disable it from…
8 votesThis is something that you have to address to the Acrobat team. Illustrator has nothing to do about this setting and can’t control it. There is no option for Illustrator to toggle in a generated document, it’s an app-level preference.

While trying to change the font of a styled text box by scrolling throgh the font list, the list glitches and closes. Sometimes selecting a different font randomly and sometimes there font of the text box stays the same.
Happening on multiple files with different-styled text. The issure does not seem to happen while working with regular-styled text.8 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Smooth Anchor Bug
Shapes created with the Blob brush, and then simplified with the simplify path tool are creating some weird smooth anchors that look like corner anchors based on the handle locations and line angles exiting the anchor. But when you grab a handle, they snap together or straight, changing the curve shape in an unintended and undesirable way without warning. Very frustration and time consuming to correct.

3D Extrude + Bevel = FAIL
3D extruded rendering is an absolute fail on Adobe CC 22.0.1
It's 2017 (nearly 2018) and still, Adobe can't get Illustrator to render text in 3D without undesirable results / unwanted artifacts... c'mon guys!
Let's "FUSE" the engine to make 3D type in illustrator more powerful and display more accurately without errors.
Thanks!

Central Resize handles disappear when setting guides from the rulers
When setting a guide by dragging from the ruler, the center resize handles of a selected object (the handle it is directly in the middle of a selected object) disappear. A short cut i used to use often is if i wanted to find a centerline of something, i would create a temporary square between two points, then drop a guide at the center where the resize handle is because i know that is the center of the two points.

Transform Each always uses visible preview bounds instead of expected geometric bounds, ignoring the state of Use Preview Bounds option
Rotate via Transform Each incorrectly places reference point.
1. Version: AI-CC 22.0.0
2. Steps taken:
Objects: Triangles with 1:1 height/width ratios. Stroked with stroke centered on vector and sharp corners.
Operation: Rotation via Transform Each command with a centered reference point.Expected result:
Since the vector was contained within a square bounding box (1:1 H:W), I expected the triangles to rotate without changing XY location.Actual result:
Rotations happened off-center, slightly moving the triangle toward the point that did not align with one of the bounding-box corners.
Additional Testing:
I tested the behavior of both the Rotate tool and the…8 votes -
Illustrator CC won't embed color profile correctly
Windows 10 64-Bit
Illustrator 22.0.1Whenever I am saving an Illustrator .ai file with the checkbox for embed color profile checked, the resulting file does not have a color profile embedded correctly. When I reopen that file in Illustrator it seems to have the correct profile embedded but in Bridge or InDesign the file appears to have no color profile attached. If I export the same file as .psd file Illustrator embeds the color profile correctly.
My colormanagment is synched via Bridge.8 votesPlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

File size growing increasing bloating
Illustrator 22.0.1 (64bit), Windows 10 64bit (latest version), 64GB RAM, 3.5Ghz 12 core CPU, 2x large SSDs
As of last week, I have been encountering an issue with file sizes growing larger and larger each time I save. The file grows even when I only move or even delete objects. The larger the file becomes the more it adds with each save, and the slower it becomes. It’s as though it’s doing something like saving history states (although not in any useful way).
This is a huge problem; the project file I’m currently working on, though modest in complexity (75k…

CC 2018 Multiply Blend Mode Incorrect
CC 2018 & Mac Sierra
If you apply multiply blend mode to a path, group that and apply multiply again at the group level, you now get 2x multiply. This is wrong whether you look at this from a process ink or spot color printing.
Omg the uploaded example, I am expecting both left and right sides to be identical to each other, as in versions prior to CC2018.
We often get files from designers who will try to make a color look good on screen, and printing off a color laser printer. You could for example draw 2 overlapping…
8 votesWe could reproduce this issue at our end, following are the findings
1. This issue is reproducible in CPU, GPU Rendering and Print Preview(thumbnail).
2. Reproducible in older versions as well including Illustrator CS6 (not a new break in CC 2018)
3. Works fine in Overprint Preview
4. Works fine in Print & PDFPlease confirm above observation match with the problem reported in this issue

Align not working when ALL items in a group are selected
Since updating to CC 2018, Align to Selection and Align to Artboard are not working when ALL items in a group are selected.
Align appears to work if ALL BUT ONE item in the group are selected... but if the final item is selected, it stops working... nothing happens.
This is not ideal as it means you then have to align the remaining item with the rest of the group manually... with transform or by eye.
8 votesHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side and behavior is similar to Illustrator CC 2017 version. If you think behavior is changed in Illustrator CC 2018 kindly share a small video of Illustrator CC 2017 behavior and Illustrator CC 2018 behavior at sharewithai@adobe.com so I can further investigate it.
Please do mention the link of this thread so we can identify you

Minor Bug (Smart Guides on/off)
When opening/creating a new document,
the View > Smart Guides will be checked on. But they are not actually on. You have to turn them on/off a couple times to actually get them working. At first I thought that they were altered or removed from the last update. Fortunately I figured it out!

Swatch pattern reduces scale when copied from one illustrator document to another
When I copy a CAD drawing from one illustrator document to another, the pattern swatch scale in the CAD reduces.
I've noticed it doesn't happen with every swatch, only some. Sometimes the CAD itself will also reduce scale.
I have also noticed that if I create a new document I won't have this issue, however when I paste it into an already existing document, this is when the problem is usually occurring.
I have doubled checked the canvas size for both documents, and they are the same.
This is in version 30.2.1.7 votesThe team has confirmed the problem using the files provided and is going to investigate this. Thank you for the report!

Compatibility Issue in Illustrator v30.2 - PostScript Error <a1a1>
Critical Update: This issue is not limited to specific files. Every single file saved or exported from version 30.2 encounters the same <a1a1> error, even when the document contains only a simple primitive shape (e.g., a single rectangle). This indicates a systemic failure in the PostScript generation engine of the v30.2 build on my system.
Description
Since updating to Adobe Illustrator v30.2, I have encountered a critical compatibility issue. Even when saving files for lower versions (Legacy formats), recipients are unable to open them. The files trigger a specific PostScript error regardless of how simple the vector data is. This…7 votesShould be fixed in the latest Beta build 30.4.42 — please update and check if it’s truly fixed

プレビュー用のPDFの文字が化けました
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Adobe Illustrator v29.7.1
他社で作成されたCentury Gothic Regular が使われているIllustratorドキュメント(作成バージョンは29.7)を開いて修正して保存した。
このデータはInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置されていた。
InDesignドキュメントの表示の、Century Gothicの数字が異なる数字になっていた。
1→3、0→2 のように。
修正した環境にはCentury Gothicがインストールされていない。Font Bookに表示されない。
が、Illustratorはフォントエラーを表示することなく、開いた。
PDFを書き出すと、正常に表示される。
プレビューのPDFのみ化けている。
その後、調べてみると、Illustrator内では「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」が使用されていることがわかった。
また、Illustrator v28.7.9ではプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
さらに、「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」を適当なFontsフォルダにインストールすると、Illustrator v29.7.1でもプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
コミュニティの記述にv29.2.1までダウンバージョンすると様々なバグが回避できるとあったので、ダウンバージョンしてみたが、やはり化ける。
v29.0までダウンバージョンしてみたが、全て化けた。
再現方法としては、
1. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダに入れる
2. Illustratorでドキュメントを新規作成
3. 数字を入力
4. 書体をCentury Gothic Regularにする
5. 保存して閉じる
6. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダから外す
7. 5.のドキュメントを開く
8. 修正して保存(または別名保存)
以上を、各バージョンのIllustratorで実行。
InDesignに貼り付けるまでもなく、Finderのプレビューで確認できる。7 votesShould be fixed in the latest Beta build 30.4.42 — please update and check if it’s truly fixed
