    Starting with version 29.3, Illustrator got the 'Embed permitted fonts for file preview' option in the Illustrator Options save dialog.

    Currently it’s disabled by default, because there were multiple confused complaints on the changed behavior.

    When missing in your current system, fonts will render as previews in the documents that were saved with this option enabled — it 'bakes' these outlines in. When we try to edit one though, we get a warning and the font becomes substituted, as before.

    For more details and help, please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/find-missing-fonts.html

    However, this is not 'Convert text to outlines on open' as we requested it. The option does not provide a way to do that for all the embedded outline previews, and Ai still doesn’t allow to select these at once. So do please upvote the request and comment and tell the team about your experience with this option, for it…

    I would love this feature. Working for a label printer, I can work around most of the issues with placing a pdf or ai file and flattening transparencies, but on files that have multiple layers (art / white ink / spot uv) you cannot outline the fonts and keep hidden layers at the same time. Would love a global "outline all missing fonts" option upon file open.

    Currently when choosing "fit to artwork" on a dieline in illustrator it will fit the artboard to the outer edge of the dieline, resulting in incorrect dimensions. My 5x8 dieline is suddenly in a 5.0139x8.0139 artboard, throwing off my output file.

    It would be great to add a checkbox option to allow the artboard to match either the outer stroke dimensions OR path dimensions for accurate proofing.

    Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!

     

    Dear Illustrator Community,


    I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.


    While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.


    Our Approach

    We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.


    It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

    You gotta give Adobe a break. Hyperthreading may be old tech, but they're an indie company with just a few programmers/developers. Give them time and I'm sure they'll figure it out.
