    I see, I got it completely wrong.
    You meant outlining fonts.
    While the team behind PDF believes live fonts in a PDF are totally OK if the PDF doesn’t get imported into Ai, we still have to import these, to make changes without original files at our hands.

    That’s why this, based on this request — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31840996 — the team added a way to 'bake' the outlines with live text, so when a font is not present, displayed outlines still stay correct.
    This is a new option, exists in builds since 29.3, requires checking an option on saving, and also tries to automatically extract outlines from PDF data (if present within a file), wen a file was saved with an older version of Ai.

    Still, your request (to automatically outline fonts on PDF export) seems to be the exact copy of an existing one: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33253699
    Do you mind me merging yours into it?

    Can you please tell more about this? Which one do you mean exactly? Opened fill paths or something else? Share a file if possible and some details on the problem happening when printing. What format is used to prepare a file? What settings get used?

    Odd... it works for me in 29.6..1, but on Windows, both with Direct Selection with a segment and Selection with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift.
    Here’s a test file along with my Smart Guides settings.
    Please help to investigate it further.

    I wonder if this happens only with images scaled? Or with any object at all?
    Please tell more.

    Pawel, Ai got the Search panel with filtering options in build 2023 (27.7)
    Are you seeing these? What build are you using?
    There isn’t an option to filter by a layer’s color though...

    I totally agree these should be in grayscale... but when I check (in Beta), the images (linked or embedded, with or without alpha) are fine!
    Perhaps it differs on Mac only?

    Pawel, interesting...
    I had no idea some would need these to be toggled often!
    As a workaround, since you are on Windows, you can try to use accessibility keys: Shift+O, Enter would open the dialog, and then you’d have to hold Alt and tap M, I, S, to toggle each option.
    This can be automated with Autohotkey (an indispensable tool for those who need to work fast on Windows).

    Doesn’t happen on Windows :/ Perhaps it’s a Mac thing?
    Does the View > Reset Rotate View command work? Should be something like Cmd+Shift+1 by default on Macs... just to know if it works at all.

    As for the Escape key having no customization options, as well as Enter, Backspace, Delete, etc. — yes, these are hardcoded, and there are several requests to allow using these for other purposes:
    — Remove 'move' function mapping from the Return/Enter key, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37363180
    — Escape key should deselect any selected object, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41179072

    Yes, I agree, the 'screens' part implies the wrong intent. If you had a chance to offer a better name for it — what would it be?

    As for the 'everything gets included' — yes, a separate problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32252662
    There is a reason behind the current way it works. Artboards are NOT pages. They can look like them, but they can also overlap and nest! Preserving the original document within is a safe way to ensure nothing gets lost, as the name of the option implies — otherwise it won’t be the original anymore. Sure, an option to 'cleanup' should exist, I agree — so please upvote that one and advise others to do it as well. This actually works.

    Lourens, Jesse, when I check PDFs exported form a CMYK document using Asset Export / Export for Screens method, they STAY CMYK (Acrobat says so), and do get exported as separate files — if I check 'Export PDFs as: Multiple Files' option.
    Can you check this please?

    It’s hard to reply to this, really.
    Some things are being re-evaluated now, and the effort to improve the performance has been in work for a long time: adding multithreading support (piece by piece, one place at a time, to avoid unexpected problems), launch time optimization, background saving, incremental saving... it’s the ongoing process, and Ai’s codebase is HUGE. It takes a long time!

    But if you have specific points that bother you — please share! The team watches this place, and its purpose is to help all parties to have a better app.

    Strangely, some team members believe that disabling ligatures would not be correct according to the font standard (even though I can’t tell which one) and the font maker’s expectations... they think these should be honored for default Open Type.

    I personally can’t agree with it.
    Bad taste or not, we can FORCE Ai to use Optical kerning with modifying [Basic Paragraph Style]... (for me it’s a more serious crime, but Ai allows it nonetheless). Not seeing why OpenType Features should be immune...
    Toggling Standart Ligatures button doesn’t make an opened document profile dirty, so one can’t make it a default option for a new doc.

    Same as Magic Wand tolerance — and people beg to change this value to 0 by default (or make sticky) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35662705.

    I suppose this just needs more votes then.

    Still a problem in 2025.
    Illustrator window occasionally shrinks on launch to the smallest size possible (no second monitor is connected).
    While in this state, Ai refuses to open a document, showing a message it has no enough memory.

    Yes, sometimes Ai likes to shrink into a nugget in the top left corner of the screen! And when it happens, it cant open or save anything. I have no idea why this happens.

    Tested in Beta 29.8.0.10

    With Real-Time Drawing and Editing ON
    GPU: the object is updated in real time both with the field focused or not
    CPU: updated only with non-focused field

    Wit Real-Time OFF
    GPU: updated only with non-focused field
    CPU: updated only with non-focused field

    Other fields I tried, like Width, Height, Stroke Weight, update the object regardless of the focus.
    In CC 2017 Opacity also gets updated for both states just fine.

    I think it’s a bug. Scrolling once over a value is a complete finite operation, no matter if the field is focused.

    There is a separate request about the ability to scale only appearance, but not objects, here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50217672

    While the Transform each method I mentioned there in the comment works, it’s not interactive — the same problem this request raises. So I’d like to have an additional mode we can enable with another key held, to do this.

    Affinity Designer allows something very similar with a dedicated 'Transform Objects Separately' button in their version of Control panel.

    Yep, this can be an option.
    Today we can do this numerically with Object > Transform > Transform Each dialog, but not with a tool interactively.
    Do you often need to have free rotation for multiple objects? Does the dialog way with Preview option on works for you?

    Actually, Transform Each dialog allows to scale appearance and not objects.
    Call it, uncheck 'Transform Objects', make sure you have 'Scale Stroke & Effects' enabled there, type the scale value(s).
    The method is not interactive, and the 'Scale Stroke & Effects' global option becomes toggled, but I think it’s usable.

    There is an existing request about Transform Each being an interactive method, here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46268581 — but I bet it won’t have a secondary mode we could enable with a key added, unless we ask for this...
    So the request is still valid!

    Meanwhile, Photoshop has Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/layer-effects-styles.html#scale-layer
    Toolshed plugin by Graffix (https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/) has a free feature, Scale Stroke Weight — 'will scale the line thickness of selected paths without scaling the art itself'.... checked it, alas: has no Preview, grabs only one stroke, ignores everything else... perhaps can be improved?

    This should have just worked :(
    Kenneth, were you bale to recover the document afterwards?
    When you tried to move the artwork again — did it behave the same, or was it the only time it froze like this?
    Does it happen with any other document?
    Can you tell if these objects you move had any images? or objects with effects applied?

    This is not really normal, there are some related problems, but it’s hard to say for sure until you provide more information.
    What font is it? Did you install it locally or from Adobe Font? What Ai build are you using? Is it your file or was it given to you by another user?
