    Hello All,

    I wanted to bring to your attention a bug that a few colleagues and I have encountered after updating to Illustrator versions 27.9 and 28. This issue pertains to saving revisions of proofs and using Adobe PDF presets for compression. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    Our workflow involves saving two versions of a proof: one using the "[Illustrator Default]" Adobe PDF Preset as our working file and another with a custom Adobe PDF Preset for email purposes (see attached "Email Proof"). When running our script for the first time, it correctly compresses the proof, resulting in a smaller file size suitable for emailing.

    However, the problem arises when we need to make revisions to the proof. We make these changes in the "[Illustrator Default]" version and then run the same script to save the document, attempting to replace the previous file. In versions 27.0, 27.4.1, 27.5, and 27.8.1, this process works as expected, maintaining the compression profile. Unfortunately, starting with version 27.9 and continuing with version 28.0, the script fails to apply the compression profile, resulting in an email version of the proof that's the same size as the "[Illustrator Default]" version.

    Here are the test results across various computers and Illustrator versions:

    Process:

    Save Proof
    Close Proof
    Open Proof
    Save Proof
    Results:

    User 1: Version 27.0 - Compressed
    User 2: Version 27.4.1 - Compressed
    User 3: Version 27.5 - Compressed
    User 3: Version 27.8.1 - Compressed
    User 3: Version 27.9 - Failed to compress
    User 3: Version 28.0 - Failed to compress
    User 4: Version 27.8.1 - Compressed
    User 4: Version 27.9 - Failed to compress
    User 5: Version 27.9 - Failed to compress
    User 6: Version 27.9 - Failed to compress
    User 7: Version 27.9 - Failed to compress

    We hope this information helps in identifying and resolving this issue. If you have any insights or updates regarding this matter, please feel free to share.
