  3. Exported Asset from Photoshop PDF file in Illustrator Renders Incorrectly in Photoshop

    Platform:
    • Adobe Illustrator Version: 29.3.1 (Latest as of 3/10/2025)
    • Operating System: Windows 11 (Fully Updated)
    • Hardware: Intel Core i9, NVIDIA RTX (Latest Drivers Installed)

    Issue Summary:
    When opening a Photoshop PDF in Illustrator, elements are recognized as Non-Native Art. When exporting an asset from this file using the Asset Export panel (see Screenshot-1.png), the resulting exported PDF does not display correctly in Photoshop (see Screenshot-2.png). Instead of rendering properly, the exported file contains distorted lines and artifacts, making it unusable.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    • Open a Photoshop PDF in Adobe Illustrator.
    • Observe that the artwork is…

  5. I can't make a mockup.

    The model option does not appear in the object menu. Also the mockup option does not appear in the Window menu. I don't understand why I can't see it even though I'm using the current version.

    In this case the Mockup add-on seemed to refuse to run with a non-English language used. If you have a similar problem — please try to switch the app language and reinstall both the application and the Mockup add-on manually through CCD. If it fixes it for you — please upvote and comment.

  6. Performance operations are greatly affected by memory usage.

    1. The software has excessive memory usage upon startup, occupying about 1.2 GB, while CDR only takes up a few hundred MB.
    2. There is lag when continuously zooming in, changing, or copying content.
    3. The content consists of text and icons, with 60 artboards taking up more than 3.5 GB of memory, which is too much.
    4. The performance on a graphics card P1000 with 2 GB is not as good as CDR.
    5. There is room for optimization to make better use of multi-core and multi-threading capabilities.

    (Note: The original list had an item '4' which seems to be missing, so I translated…

  7. Make it so that you can zoom in and out with the track pad

    Make it so that you can zoom in and out with the track pad. As of right now I can't zoom in or out when pinching on the track pad.

  9. Manual Dimensions don’t stick to the objects they are intended to be linked to

    Starting form Ai Beta 28.4.0.7, dimension objects are sticky (linked) to the objects we click with the Dimension tool — so that when we move or transform the objects, their linked dimensions move with them.

    For some reason this applies only to 'Aligned dimensions' (those that are made with the click-drag-release method).

    When we use click-click-click method, Illustrator creates 'Manual dimensions', which look the same way as the aligned ones, but for some peculiar reasons that makes no sense to us, are not sticky.

    This means that we can’t apply live and linked dimensions to objects that are anything more…

    The latest Beta 28.5.0.78 allows manual dimensions to stick to arbitrary points and recalculate correctly when objects are repositioned or transformed — just as we expected it to. This includes gaps also.

    Please try it and see if it works for all the cases you have and comment back.

  10. Have to restart Illustrator three times to load certain Adobe fonts

    Certain fonts don't load in Illustrator unless i restart the program multiple times.

    Sofia pro for example will never load in the first time and on the second start, will only load the base, so i can't get anything more than the italics and bold weights. in addition, just recently on the second start, i get the error that there is no account tied to my startup.

    By the third restart, i can load in demi, medium, black, and the rest that I need.

  11. Some tools don’t allow to snap the transformation pivot to the current selection’s own points using Smart Guides

    The latest Beta 29.6.57
    It seems like Rotate and Scale tools (and I suspect others as well) no longer see Smart Guides for the current selection’s own points — only of other objects. What’s wrong? All SG options are checked, as always for me.

    Still works as expected in the main build.

  12. Memory Leak: Artboards/Raster Images/Generative Expand

    I'm playing around with creating small artboards on top of a raster image to delineate the areas I'd like to trace later. Every time I do anything with these artboards, I get a warning saying that Generative AI doesn't support raster images yet and my memory usage spikes and doesn't drop afterward. I found this out when my M1 MacBook Pro warned me that I was out of memory with Illustrator using 180GB (including swap, one assumes...).


    Oh, details, yes: MacOS 15.1.1, 32 GB of RAM, Illustrator Beta v29.4.29


    And it's worth noting that clicking the Feedback button (the little…

  13. Issue with Eyedropper Tool Not Sampling Gradients from Images in Latest Illustrator Beta Update

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    I’m experiencing an issue with the Eyedropper tool in the latest update of Adobe Illustrator. Previously, I was able to sample gradients directly from images and apply them to other objects with the Eyedropper tool, and this feature worked smoothly. However, since updating, the tool no longer seems to pick up gradients as it did before, even though I have not changed any settings.

    I've confirmed that the Eyedropper tool is functioning correctly with solid colors, but when I attempt to sample a gradient from an image, it only applies a single color instead of the…

  15. Entering a value int Width filed in Transform applies a different one instead

    The transform tool isn't working properly. I typed .75 into the W field, clicked on the H field, and got the attached image. Can we get this fixed asap? I'm not a fan of fighting the tools to get them to do what they usually do perfectly.

  17. Illustrator hangs when copying and pasting text in CJK fonts

    If I copy and attempt to paste any Japanese language text in Illustrator, the app hangs for an extended period (1 minute or so), and then finally pastes the text rendering it nearly unusable. Do not have the same issue for English text.

  20. Inconsistent Anti-Aliasing When Combining Shapes with Outline in Adobe Illustrator

    Description: There is a noticeable inconsistency in anti-aliasing when combining shapes with an outline in Adobe Illustrator.

    Left Image (With Outline): Shapes with an outline are rasterized with a visible anti-aliasing effect.
    Right Image (Combined Shape): After combining the shapes, the anti-aliasing effect appears smoother and more refined.
    From my understanding, both images should exhibit similar anti-aliasing behavior when rasterized, as they are essentially the same shapes. However, the anti-aliasing in the first image (with outlines) is harsher compared to the combined result on the right.

    Expected Behavior: Both shapes should be rasterized with the same level of anti-aliasing, regardless…
