  1. When clicked on file>export, the menus closes.

    Operating System: MAC High Sierra

    When clicking on export under FIle menu the menu closes, This is not expected as this might happen by mistake before the sub menu has opened.

    This is also not consistent with photoshop file>export.
    In photoshop when clicked on export menu under file, the menu will not get closed.

  3. Resizing rotated rectangle using selection tool drags wrong side

    If I use the rectangle tool to create a square/rectangle, rotate it (for example, 45 degrees), then try to resize using the selection tool, it resizes the wrong side. For example, if I drag the bottom left side, it moves the bottom right side.

    I've included a screen record demonstrating the issue.

    Operating system is Mac, Mojave, 10.14.6

    Illustrator version is 25.0.1 (though this bug has been noticed in older versions)

  4. White disappears on export

    White disappears on export. Trying to save a jpeg.

    This is not the first time I've experienced this.

    I HATE that you insist on calling BUGS — IDEAS.

    Adobe is the buggiest software on the planet.

  6. Asset Export Undo Deletion

    If I delete an asset from the Asset Export Panel, I cannot "undo" to bring it back. I would like to be able to do this in the same way as undoing to restore swatches, layers etc.

    asset export bug, it does not export assets at the size selected but instead makes them super tiny and unusable. I have had to download the last version before that so that I can use asset export correctly with what I have selected.

  8. in Version 24.02 when trying to export a single PDF with all art boards AI will only export single pages, why?

    I updated to 24.02 this morning and now I am unable to save PDF files as multi-page documents. No matter what setting I select AI will only export whatever artboard I am currently working on at the time of export. This was not an issue for me yesterday. So frustrated.

  9. Export jpeg files become Recent Files

    In my recent files when I first launch AI along with in the File Menu. If I choose to export jpegs files from an AI file, those files now become part of the Open Recent Files. Can we remove this so only files that were actually "opened recently" apprear in this menu, instead of opened recently and exported recently.

  11. SVG Export Missing XML Encoding Tag

    The latest updates to Illustrator (21.0.1) seems to have removed the all-important encoding tag required by browsers to render SVG appropriately when embedding etc. in an html page.

    It exports the svg without this tag at the beginning of the file.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

  14. "An Unknown Error Has Caused the Operation to Fail" Message When Trying to export TIFF.

    iMac running OS X 10.14.2
    Illustrator CC 2019

    Whenever I try to export an artboard as a TIFF using "Export As", I get the ubiquitous, yet EXTREMELY vague error message, "An Unknown Error Has Caused the Operation to Fail" a couple of seconds after Illustrator starts to process the image (progress bars gets about 25% of the way).

    Now, the weird part is that I have no problem exporting the same artboard as a PNG or JPG using the same "Export As' option.

    And before you ask, yes I uninstalled and then reinstalled Illustrator but it's still…

  15. SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue

    Hi,

    I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).

    For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

  16. Error: "Unable to export at this resolution" for jpeg at 300ppi

    For larger artboards (6500 square), I'm trying to export them at 300ppi jpegs for print (as requested by the printer). Every time I try to export at 300ppi, I get the message "unable to export at this resolution, please lower the resolution and try again."

    I've been informed of the Photoshop workaround, but we should be able to save vector files especially out as high res jpeg's straight from Illustrator!

  18. v29.2.1 image export (JPG & PNG) anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" not working

    v29.0.1
    Export image (JPG/PNG) w/ anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on, images are perfect!

    After updating to v29.2.1
    Anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on -> not working

    macOS v15.2 (Mac mini M2 Pro)
    Illustrator v29.2.1

    Morning v29.0.1, then update to v29.2.1 this afternoon. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware problem. so i downgrade to v29.0.1. image export works perfect again.

  19. Error css classes in svg export

    In version before 26.2, applying a graphic style to a simple object (rectangle, line, etc.) allowed the name of that graphic style to be used as a CSS class in the an exported SVG. So a graphic style of "thick-outline" would become a CSS class called ".thick-outline" when the SVG file was exported with internal CSS.

    Now, a useless class called "cls-1" is applied to the illustrator object instead, making re-use of overriding of the style in the SVG difficult. This is a regression that makes the usefulness of the SVG export feature limited.
