An error occurred while saving the comment A larger general request,
Convert expanded strokes back to live strokes (unexpand / unoutline strokes) / Find centerlines
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44614782An error occurred while saving the comment This is an insanely complicated task.
Not every font can be converted to a series of separate stems. What about round corners? decorative elements? optical compensations? This is only us, humans (or maybe some new neural networks), can see separate parts in the merged and united glyphs.However, there are some tools which can help you edit these paths.
1. A paid plugin, Reform by AstuteGraphics, https://astutegraphics.com/plugins/reform — it allows you to intuitively edit outlined strokes, very close to Width tool, but perhaps even better.
2. A paid script. MojiDisassembler script, https://sppy.stars.ne.jp/mojidisassembler — it tries to break united shapes into overlapping parts. The only downside of it — it’s in Japanese only, but little text in it and it can be translated.Actually, these two tools combined work magic.
As for the automated one-click solution — thanks for the request :) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Generative Expand works like this:
1. A copy of the artwork gets rasterized, and taster-based generative fill is used to fill the void
2. The raster result is traced using Image Trace
We don’t have control over the settings used while tracing the result, but it ignores stroke detecting completely... Illustrator is not that good in tracing strokes in general (and to be fair, no other app or services I know does it well). It’s a common root problem.But yes, it should work better. Voted.

This was marked as fixed in 2019, but there were several reports about this still happening after 2022.
Please vote and comment if this is something you occasionally experience still.
An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t reproduce, really.
If you press Cmd/Ctrl+0 before pressing Cmd/Ctrl+V, to fit artboard in window, it works as it should, quite precise.
Remember, the Paste command does not paste in the middle of the current artboard, it pastes in the middle of the view. -

The issue seems to be resolved in the latest Illustrator builds — feel free to drop a comment if it still misbehaves, with test files and screenshots.
The problem with different treatment of fractional values by Ai and Ps is moved into a separate request — please join the discussion.
An error occurred while saving the comment While this is not a problem now, this one still is:
Holding Shift when picking a color from a gradient in a CMYK document samples the wrong color
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50684312An error occurred while saving the comment Ton, you might be correct with the assumption...
I tried to rasterize a rectangle with fractions in CMYK color (55.69) and opened the image in Photoshop — and got integers, 56...
But then I mix the very same color in Ps, making integers manually, fill half of the image with this new color and try to pick colors from this image in Ai: Ai still picks the original 55.69 from the original half of the image... and 56.08 from the half I flooded with Ps’s 56!
And Ps SEES them as different color when Color Picker is used, displaying different Lab, RGB, HSB values, but CMYK stays the same, rounded.In my experiment below I did a similar thing: created these in Ai first (but no fractions), rasterized it, used to make a composition and placed back into Ai.
Double conversion and forcing integers (visually) would explain it.So Ai is rather precise... but the irritation stays.
Now the question would be — what to do with the uncomfortable truth? 'Fighting ignorance' is my favorite choice, but...An error occurred while saving the comment Here is an example.
I have a CMYK document, and it has a linked image in it, with an intentionally chosen profile, with some specific colors set for the background, and these have to be the part of the background, because of blending modes used.
Now I need to grab those colors form the clear parts of the background to quickly transfer them into vector part of the design. But when I try — Ai lies about values.Instead of
70-15-0-0
0-35-85-0
0-95-20-0
I get
69.8-14.9-0-0
0-34.9-85.1-0
0-94.9-20-0Not much, right? Just 0.2%, why are you mad?
But these would be enough to break Select Same Fill later, duplicate swatches if added next to existing ones in other documents, drop my trust level for the tool and force me cleaning this mess in the time I need I can’t spend. Sure, there are methods to help with this, but it’s not MY error. It’s Ai’s lie.An error occurred while saving the comment A related report:

An error occurred while saving the comment Ton, hello! I don't care about screen representation as user. I know my image has different colors and I want THEM, not colors from preview which exists in inner AI world. I want 0-65-100-0 instead of 12,01-67,93-100-2,45. I don't need dirty channels in bright orange. It all turns to money when prints got rejected.
And I won't embed 80-250Mb image which I still edit and therefore want to be linked, just to make broken tool work.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Even though we can hold Shift to pick a color form an object with a gradient applied, it picks the color sampled from the screen — the RGB value.
It means if we are in a CMYK document and picking a color from a white-to-black gradient, the picked color would NOT be a shade of black, as expected, but an atrocious converted muddy RGB value.
This is not what it should do! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Perceptual gradients are calculated using Oklab color space:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklab_color_space
So yes, it gets converted into CMYK, using the working color space. It cares more about transitions than respecting the actual colors of the stops also.
If you wish to keep these and have more control about the intermediate colors, perhaps you’d better seek an alternative solution, like this script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3FG0g5yDm8 -

An error occurred while saving the comment By description I’d suggest a modifier key state got stuck.
Perhaps unplugging the keyboard and rebooting can help to solve this. -

I remember some other reports about doubled blending mode getting calculated wrong. Will merge or link if I found any.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment OK, there is a method to deal with images, but it requires using several free scripts:
1. Drop the images on canvas and select them together with the paths you need to use as clipping paths (the stacking order matters)
2. Use this script by kamiseto — https://kamiseto.hatenadiary.org/entry/20100217/1266412144 ...actually, links there seem to be expired or dead... and the main scripts requires some missing libraries... hmm... there’s a way to dig these out using web.archive.org, but I can’t say it’s fair, if the author decided to delete these intentionally.
2. Well, there is a way to generate clip groups from images though, by clicking Mask button in the Control panel with only images selected. Then, without deselecting, you can use Object > Shape > Convert to Shape to turn these into rectangles, and then use Transform panel to set the common size for all of these at once... Don’t worry about the way clipped images now become hidden for now
3. ...because these two scripts by Seiji Miyazawa would allow to fit the contents of this clip group the same way as InDesign allows — https://onthehead.com/ais/group008 (ant there is a request to have these functions integrated, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40607677)
Hope this helps.An error occurred while saving the comment There are several methods to achieve this in Illustrator.
1. To learn how to use variables in Ai (and it’s rather intimidating! even with the help of the free and brilliant Variable Importer script by Vasily Hall: https://github.com/Silly-V/Adobe-Illustrator/blob/master/Variable%20Importer/VariableImporter.jsx — and here’s how to use it — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUiRGLT8byA)
2. An easier method for text only, Batch Text Edit script by Hiroyuki Sato: https://github.com/shspage/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/batchTextEdit.jsx
3. Another approach, for handling text too, Multi-Edit Text by Sergey Osokin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcyT0KmuepI
To handle images though... I don’t think there is a simpler method than variables.
Sure, XD drag-n-drop method is way easier. Voted. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you record a short demo of this behavior, please?
Do you use version 30.0? Do you remember anything like this in previous versions?
Does it happen for a specific font you try, or does it apply to all fonts? Are these locally installed or from Adobe Fonts?
Please provide as much information on this as possible, to help the team to start investigating. -
