    Hi everyone,

    In the latest BETA 30.0.21, we’ve improved the ‘Save As’ workflow.

    Now, instead of remembering the last used format, the default will always be .AI.

    We made this change to ensure that your files are consistently saved in the native Illustrator format, which is the most reliable option for preserving full editability.

    Please try out he changes by downloading the latest BETA from the Creative Cloud and let us know if it helps you or not.

    Illustrator has been saving some of my large files as PDFs rather than Illustrator files (when I am just pressing Cmd+S) and the file is definitely not a PDF to begin with. This is frustrating because anything outside of the artboard is no longer in the file, the file must be opened as individual artworks, and all of the text is saved as individual letters in cases where text is typed along a path, or it's saved as individual words.
