1. Documents preview not updated properly in Indesign

   When I save an Illustrator file, import it into Indesign, then make changes to the file, save it again and update the link in Indesign, some parts are not updated in the preview (see attached image). This doesn't happen every time, seemingly at random.

   I have resolved this by first saving as an older version and then again as latest version, but that's not a real solution.
   Somebody told me to uncheck 'Save in background' in settings, this also solved the problem but again, is not a real solution.

   I have this problem simultaneously with the (already known) problem where Indesign shows all object layers of all artboards when viewing/hiding specific object layers.

   I'm using Illustrator 30 on Sonoma.

2. Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator

   When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.

   This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.

   This issue is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.3.126 build.

   Kindly update (or install) to verify the fix making it behave as expected, to allow the team to safely push it into the next general build.

   If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

   Please check to see if the issue has been resolved.

4. Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator

   Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.

   After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are still not functioning as expected.

   Additionally, resetting Bridge to its default settings restores all .ai file associations to IllustratorDiagnosys 29.3.1.

   It seems that something in the file association preferences was modified, not just affecting Bridge, but the entire system.

   Help Bar is available only in the latest Beta (starting with 29.2) and Prerelease builds so far. As soon as the team decides it’s ready to be pushed into main build, you’ll be able to get it. At the moment you can install Beta build from CCD app, or just wait.

6. Livetracing Bitmaps gives results with random shades of black

   Up until recently, if I used the Livetrace and Expand command on a bitmap it would produce results with only pure white and pure black, as you would expect. Now it randomly assigns values to every piece of what should be black. Instead of 100% black they are 99.29% or 99.67%. Normally I would select one piece, select all by color and move it. Now I need to click on every single piece and apply black to them. Very tedious.

   Keith, the team reverted the Image Trace panel back to the more stable version. If you use 27.7 version, you can try to update to Beta, or revert to the older version, or wait until the Beta version will go stable.

7. Moving an object manually to align with another object, moves the wrong object

   Quite often, when moving an object to snap to another object or anchor point, the moved object jumps back to its original position while the other object or even sometimes an anchor point makes the move instead

8. Transform Again doesn’t work with live or outlined text when transformation is made using the bounding box

   In Adobe Illustrator, I use the transform again tool a lot during my day to day and seemingly recently, it hasn’t been affecting live or outlined type* when it will affect any other regular object. Has anyone come across this on their own or know how to fix it? It will continue to transform the text if you scale up or down as well repeating moves but when scaling objects to certain sizes using the guides and then replicating the same growth on the text object doesn’t work.

   I’ve tried ungrouping, releasing the compound path, tried intersecting the shapes, the menu command

   This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

   However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

   • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
   • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.

   Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.

9. Color blindness proof preview kills GPU, requiring restart

   Steps to recreate:
   Create a new document. Proof setup > Color Blindness (any type) > Proof Colors. Zoom in or out. The screen flashes and GPU preview if now off. It can not be re-enabled even if you disable Proof Colors. Restarting illustrator is required to get back GPU preview.

   System: Apple M1 Pro

   Expected to be fixed in Beta 30.6.0.75.

   Please try to update and check if the behavior is better.

10. Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only

    This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

    Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

    OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

    Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

    For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

    Basically:

    When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it appears at roughly 1/10th of the intended scale. This can also be replicated by opening the files in Acrobat.

    The same files saved as PDF from Illustrator 2026 open at the correct size in the RIP, and .ai files saved from Illustrator 2025 also open at the correct scale. This suggests the problem is specific to the Illustrator 2026 .ai format for large artboards.

    Steps to reproduce:

    On a Mac Studio (M1 or M2) running macOS Sequoia, open Adobe Illustrator 30.0 (2026).

    Create a new document with a large artboard (52x300).

    Add some content.

    Save the file as a native .ai file (Illustrator 2026 default format).

    Open the saved .ai file in Onyx (RIP software) or Adobe Acrobat.

    Compare the size reported by Acrobat or Onyx (or measured within the RIP) to the original artboard / artwork dimensions in Illustrator.

    For comparison:

    From the same Illustrator 2026 document, Save As → PDF with default or standard print settings.

    Open the PDF in Onyx or Acrobat and check the size.

    Repeat the same test using Adobe Illustrator 2025, saving an .ai file with the same artboard dimensions, and open that .ai in Onyx or Acrobat.

    Expected result:

    The .ai file saved from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) should open in Acrobat and Onyx at the exact same scale and dimensions as defined in the Illustrator document (matching the large artboard size).

    The size reported in the RIP should match the Illustrator artboard (just as it does with Illustrator 2025 .ai files and 2026 PDFs).

    Actual result:

    Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files with large artboards open in Acrobat and Onyx at approximately 1/10th of the correct scale.

    The same artwork:

    Opens at the correct scale as a PDF exported from Illustrator 2026.

    Opens at the correct scale when saved as .ai from Illustrator 2025.

    So the incorrect scaling appears specific to 2026 .ai files + large artboards.

    Scope / notes:

    Issue has been reproduced by multiple users in our environment, all on M1/M2 Mac Studios.

    Affected OS: macOS Sequoia (and likely the previous macOS version on some machines; behavior appears consistent across both).

    The common factor is Illustrator 30.0 (2026) + large artboard .ai.

    PDF workflow works fine, as does Illustrator 2025, which is our current workaround, but we prefer to send native .ai files to the RIP, and we use the large artboards extensively.

    I would upload example files, but .ai files are apparently an invalid file type to upload here.

    This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

    Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

    OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

    Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

    For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

12. Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed

    Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

    My computer runs very smoothly with every other application, including other Adobe applications. However, as soon as I open Illustrator, my entire system lags and stutters constantly, making it impossible to get work done with the application. This needs to be fixed and run smoothly.
