Objects vanish when a PDF is exported
The PDF document is not being saved correctly. I have tried saving it in different ways, changing the elements and it still isn't working. I believe it is a problem in Acrobat itself perhaps?

Illustrator crashes everytime I try to edit a graph
First the graph tool was working perfectly, I made an area graph. But now after making some changes in colors and fonts in the graph, Illustrator is consistently crashing everytime I hit "Type" to edit it. How can I solve this?

Thanks for reporting a crash you faced in Illustrator.

Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files
I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working…

SVG Export Distortion
I am having 0 success with Adobe Illustrator exports that incorporate filters. Some are stock images from Adobe stock that have polygonal patters. Others are 3D text rendered objects. Others are layers built with a variety of transparency filters and opacity settings. The SVG exports are not usable and we are resorting to .png files until we solve this. I saw a similar post that was unresolved: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/33118615-sizes-and-coordinates-get-distorted-in-svg-export
I am using export settings with Styling: Presentation; Images: Preserve; Object ID: Minimal; 2 Decimals; Minify and Responsive checked. Other modifications to these settings has not worked.

Isolate Selected Groups Does Not Work in CC 2019
Spent 4 days following a tutorial thinking I was losing my mind.
Then, it dawned on me I downloaded CC 2019 four days ago.
Downloaded CC2017 and the operation works as advertised.
Used especially for cartooning…
Goes like this:
1. Select all inked artwork>Object>Expand Appearances>Merge.
Create and color a rectangle covering artwork.
Select All>Merge
Then>>>>>Right Click<<<< and click "Select Isolate Selected Groups”
This will put editable color with all closed line work.The enclosed pic is where things go wrong in 2019
Once Isolate Selected groups is clicked you should be able to delete the outside green in isolation mode…4 votesPlease post a test file

Paste Remembers Layers doesn't work if original layer is hidden
Steps:
Create object on layer.
Copy object.
Hide layer.
Create new layer.
Paste object with new layer selected.It will warn you that the layer you're attempting to paste onto is hidden. But... no it's not. I have the "Paste remembers layers" checkbox turned off.
This is either a bug, or someone should stick close to someone who actually understands user expectations.

Files don’t get displayed when opened or displayed corrupted with Application Frame enabled
These are not 'ideas' they are bugs, errors, problems - stop with the Orwellian language, just makes you look insincere and untruthful.
The problem:
When Application Frame is selected, files either do not display when opened or have a corrupted display. Doesn't happen every time, but quite often.
Mac Pro macOS 10.12.6, Illustrator 22.14 votesHi,
We have made a fix in latest version for the same. Can you please upgrade to 23.0.3 and let us know if you still face this issue?

Illustrator CC 22.0.1 Type Anti-Aliasing Issue
Illustrator CC 22.0.1 Type Anti-Aliasing Issue
1. The dropdown menu in the type window for anti-aliasing options is disabled seemingly at random.- The anti-aliasing dropdown menu in the type window allows me to designate a render setting to one type selection however, this setting also seemingly applies to all type on the document (i.e. I cannot apply "Sharp" to one text block and "Strong" to another).
4 votesNot sure this still happens with the latest builds. Can you check if this is still a problem?

Properties doesn’t show alignment options for live shapes
In the new Properties panel if you select a custom shape you get the alignment options, including the option to switch between "Align on artboard" and "Align on selection".
If you select an live shape e.g. a circle, you don’t get these options in the Properties panel and you also have no option in the Align panel window to select if you want to align on artboard or selection.The Properties panel should have the possibility to align all elements, shapes and so on.
Also as a backup you should include the possibility to align on artboard and align on…4 votes -

Illustrator 2026 adds a previously selected object to a newly selected one when moving the new one
macOS Sequoia 15.6
Illustrator 30.0Just selecting and moving basic objects is not functioning correctly. Was this tested at all? I've restarted the app, I've restarted my machine. It's just buggy AF. I've had to revert to previous version just to get a simple chart done.

Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly
I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?3 votes -
Stroke issues with text containers when exporting into SVG
When exporting to SVG, text frames are interpreted as separate entities and inherit stroke/fill attributes from the text or group they are in. This results in unwanted strokes around the text frame itself. With other formats there are no issues.
Attached a native-export-png and a result of a svg-export-png.
