    Happy to announce that we have introduced 'Preview Missing Fonts' functionality to improve your experience when working with files that contain unavailable fonts.

    If you open a file with missing fonts, Illustrator will now render the text correctly on the artboard in Preview Mode, even if the fonts are not installed on your system. This ensures the files appear as intended without requiring immediate font installation.

    How does it work?

    1. When you open a file with missing fonts, the Missing Fonts Window will appear, listing fonts that are in Preview Only Mode.

    2. Close the Missing Fonts Window to view the text rendered accurately on the artboard.

    3. You can optionally select the text, go to Objects -> Expand… to convert the text to outlines.

    4. The text in Preview Mode is not editable. If you attempt to edit the text in Preview Mode, a warning will appear, notifying…

    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.
