Unable to save Illustrator file as svg using artboards
We use Illustrator to draw lots of icons.
If we place each iocn on an artboard and try to save each artboard to a file by selecting Save as -> svg -> use artboards -> all,
we expect multiple icons to be saved to multiple svg files.We actually get multiple svg files, but each svg contains all layer names from the original file and one svg icon.
It would be very helpful, if manual cleanup after saving / exporting wasn't necessary.
2 votesNils, please try export svg through File > Export > Export As > SVG and let us know the result

Currently selected artboard not automatically highlighted as per normal
Running Mac 10.13.6 and AI 22.1
In all previous versions of Illustrator the artboard you are currently on remains highlighted so you know which on you are on.
In this version, the artboard is only highlighted while working in it. If I click into a menu item (say 'Object') then the highlighted artboard disappears and I no longer know which one I am on. Clicking on the blank artboard, which usually highlights that clicked on artboard, doesn't work. The only work around is to click onto another artboard and then back to the first. I've had this issue maybe 6…
2 votesPlease confirm if this bug does not longer happens in the latest versions of Illustrator.

Artifacts that shouldn't be there
I've noticed that sometimes there will remain some random artefacts of after deleting anchors that are ordered in lines or curves around each other.
It will remain there, can't be selected, and even if the rest of the original form is removed, it still remain.
It is not shown after rendering the image though.
It occurs sometimes, and could be disturbing.Latest in CC 2018-01
2 votesIf this problem is still an issue, it’d be necessary to provide a test file, full OS and hardware specs, including GPU and the driver, so that the team can try to reproduce it.

cant copy text from illustrator and paste to indesign
When I attempt to copy selected text characters (not the object) and paste in Indesign, I get outlined characters. I have to go through TextEdit, or any other place I can paste text, then copy it again to get text that will paste in Indesign as characters.
2 votesThe latest version of Illustrator and InDesign have better handling of the buffer contents now. A selection of text at character level from Illustrator now gets copied and pasted fine in Indesign.
Please check if it works for you now and comment back.

Layer Panel is blank & not representing any layer panel icons or titles
Layer Panel went blank randomly in a multi-layered project. Cannot view titles or any icons. Sometimes running the mouse over layer panel reveals the information that the mouse points at, however, only to disappear (title info, icons etc) if you click on layer.
Latest version of Illustrator CC 2018. Have rebooted system twice, one shutdown for several hours, one restart. Also researching online to find similar issues. Seems to be relatively new issue.
2 votesSorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Can you please check layer options dialog?
From panel flyout open Layer Options and see if the thumnails for “Layers” “Groups” and “Objects” are selected and “Top Layer Only” is Not selected.Also “Show Layers Only” check box should be deselected.
let me know if this solves your problem or not?
Thanks

Font name not suggested when typing in
When I want to change a typeface to another and I start typing in the name, instead of loading a list of installed fonts related to the characters being typed, nothing happens. No suggestions loaded at all.
2 votesHi Love,
sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Can you please click on the little rectangle in the font name (below search button) and see the option selected?
If it is “Search First Work Only”, change it to “Search Entire Font Name” and it will solve the issue.
Thanks

Show Tints/Shades menu issue
Show Tints/Shades menu in color guide does not allow to select a color on a first click, most of times you have to click several times to select the color, and on my Cintiq 13 Companion it is almost impossible to do it with the stilus.

Printed image dimensions .5" larger than dimensions in Illustrator
Mac Sonoma
Illustrator 29.1I am printing a mechanical drawing. I have added multiple dimensions. My image is 20/25" x 45 " so I am tiling my printout. No matter which printer I use and which print settings, my printouts are always .5" larger than the dimensions in illustrator. I have tried adding overlaps, printing on borderless paper, removing overlaps, etc. Nothing fixes this problem

Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.
Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.
1 voteAnders, please share a test file and the exact setting and the method you use to export an image.

特定のデータで印刷ができない
あるデータで印刷をするとメーターが100％で止まってしまい、印刷ができません。
しばらく待ってもプリンターが反応せず困っております。（プリンターダイヤログにも表示されません。）これ以外のデータは正常に印刷可能です。
キャンセルを押すとフリーズしている様子もなく、普通に印刷キャンセルされます。
新規ドキュメントを作成し、コピー貼り付けしてみましたが、それも同じ症状です。データ自体は他に比べ極端に重いデータでもなさそうです。（41956KB）
また、他のPC環境でも試しましたがどのPCを使っても同じ症状で、
そのデータの中の一部パスデータをラスタライズしたり、データ自体をPDF化すると印刷が可能でした。
出来ればPDF化などせずに印刷をしたいです。
何か解決方法がございましたらご教示をお願いいたします。＜環境＞

PDF export misses
After performing "Save a copy" and choosing the PDF, the PDF created does not contain all the art of the artboard. It seems random with no consistency as to what is affected.
- Sometimes ungrouping helps, 50%. Most often I have to delete the art and replace it.
- Could even be the same art that appears on another page, so its not errors in the art.
- Could be copy or vector work.
- Does not matter if its save as smallest size or other size1 voteThe team would need the test file you can reliably reproduce the problem, the steps to reproduce it, the exact OS specs and the version of Illustrator used. A video can also help to study the issue.
If you can share the file publicly — please attach it in the comments. If if you are not allowed to do so or you do not want to make it public — you can send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com
