  1. Shift Constrain not working

    Since update to v29.5.0.35, holding the shift key while resizing an object does not constrain the aspect ratio of the object.
    This happens whether "Transform Tools" is checked or unchecked.

    One exception is if I create a new object using the shape tool. Constraint works for those objects until I alter them, or if I try to resize while another object is selected.

    I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator and the OS.

  2. The initial pivot for a Point Type text when Scale tool is picked is wrong

    In the latest Beta 29.5.0.35 the default position of the pivot point for a Point Type text is not at its anchor point anymore, but at its center. This used to work fine just recently.

    While this behavior CAN be an option for the Scale tool, it should not be hidden and given as a default one.
    But I’d appreciate having it in the dialog when a text is selected.

  4. Pasted items automatically get deselected in Beta 29.5 35

    Copy an element and paste it. It should be in a selected state, but it isn't.

  5. File only partially read: Urgent Help Needed

    Hi,

    I have been using Ai for over 10 years for work (using my company's account), and the beta version for about a year. Recently, I encountered an issue opening a master design file that is synced with Google Drive. The file was created and saved by me on the same device and software. I have never faced this issue before, so I doubt it's related to an internet or Google sync problem. Even if it is, I believe it should still be reported, as this is quite concerning. I am using the latest beta version, but the file was…

  6. 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…

  7. Placed JPEG JFIF images are rendered as white

    When I place JFIF JPEG images into Ai Beta 29.5.0.15, they get rendered as white.
    Same images placed into GA build are rendered fine.
    Can’t share the images publicly due to the copyright.

  9. Can’t select objects by clicking their fills with Direct Selection Tool in Beta 29.5.0.15

    It’s no longer possible to select objects using the Direct Selection Tool without clicking on either the object’s edge, or the object's center point. Clicking on the object's fill does not select the object. This has worked normally up until the 29.5 release.
    Same happens when trying to select a part of a dynamic symbol.
    Group Selection and Selection Tools works fine.

  10. Export As with Use Artboards now fully include all the object on the artboard and doesn’t crop them as expected

    Something is terribly wrong with Export As.

    For some reason 'Use artboards' no longer works in Beta 294.0.73 as expected. Here, I expect the parts of the circle to be cropped — but the resulting PNG includes all objects on the artboard.
    Happens for other formats and multiple artboards.
    This is PAIN.

    Does not happen in GA build!

  11. Asset Export Not Respecting Individual Assets

    When exporting properly grouped and named assets in the Asset Export panel, SVG, PDF, JPG, EPS, and Ai files will export multiple versions of assets in the file, but PNG files export properly.

  13. 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…

  16. 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. BUG: Scripting from C#, arm64, Windows 11

    Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Illustrator.Application'.
    This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{95CD20AA-AD72-11D3-B086-0010A4F5C335}' failed due to the following error:

    No such interface supported (0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

    The code
    Illustrator.Application appInstance = (Illustrator.Application)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Illustrator.Application"));

    Note: Code moved from Windows 10 Intel machine where it works fine.

    Thanks for looking into this ... and for a great beta product!
