Illustrator (Beta)

When not connected to the internet, Illustrator hangs when switching documents (Mac spinning wheel). Other operations also seem sluggish at times.This occurs on a fresh Mac install (Mac OS Tahoe 26.3). It appears to have been introduced in either Illustrator v30.2 (not tested) or v30.2.1 (tested). I’ve gone back to v30.1, which does not have the problem. The following issue seems to report the opposite problem (maybe a fix has created this new issue):  

when moving a selected object in doc settings using inches, one press on the up, down, left, or right arrow moves the object 8 inches (instead of a nudge).

Initially bug with text was only when saving as pdf where text would get messed up by mirroring it or rotating each letter. Now the bug is in illustrator as a program when editing the actual illustrator file. Also issues with fonts changing and text not being editible (eg. line spacing etc.) despite being normal text which should be editible. 

copying image with text from indesign to photoshop, does not keep text format 

 The images in the Layer are still showing up. It doesn't turn off the layer.

When I turn off a Layer (click the eye), so it wont show up. The images in the Layer are still showing up. It doesn't turn off the layer.

When I paste text into the text field, all the letters are sideways (except for the first line). Resetting the program doesn't help. Changing the text orientation (vertical to horizontal) doesn't help. I have this problem in all files I open, and it's been a persistent problem for a long time. I'm using Adobe Illustrator Beta (there's no regular version for my system). 

The program does not update image links; the previous Illustrator program did. 

Our computer crashed and we had to reinstall our epilogue zing engraver  -  now when I print, I change the document size but then it reverts and won’t “hold” it when it comes back out of the settings tab and I can’t get anything to engrave over 8.5x11  

I’m using the Blend tool with three stars: two at the bottom of the art board and one in the middle at the top, to form a pointed shape. Then I adjust the number of steps to five. The result is looks balanced, with a normal distribution of the objects in between the stars. Then, with the Direct Selection tool, I select the middle of the created path (of the Blend) and drag the circle down, to form a curve. The curve is created, but instead of dragging down the middle star, it moves to one side. The result is an unbalanced shape. If I use the “Convert the selected anchor points to smooth” option instead, the result looks balanced, but the distribution of the stars in the Blend is now skewed. Balanced BlendUnbalanced after moving the middle anchor point ‘smoothing point’ down​Uneven distribution after choosing “Convert selected anchor points to smooth”​This is all on MacOS 15.7.4 as well as MacOS 26.3

I discovered that my beta version of Ilustrator that I installed on my Surface Pro tablet (running Windows 11)  has upgraded itself to version 30 and in the process, can no longer recognize pressure sensitivity with my stylus. I tested the stylus in other programs and I can confirm that those programs have no difficulty with varying pressure. I do not know what has changed (does this have something to do with using emulation to get Illustrator to work with the Surface Pro ARM processor?) and I would really like to go back to creating with this program. Has anybody else experienced this problem and if so, are there any settings I can use to get Illustrator to once again acknowledge pressure variations?

There is no way to get the stylus pressure working on Illustrator. I tried going through the settings of the brush, enabling/disabling Wacom support, trying all the options for windows ink, and also switchin to the touch setup.One interesting thing, once I saw it working for the first stroke, but is unclear why, and I was never able to reproduce the situation. Furthermore, by trying changing the brushes, time to time the brush does not write at all, and only after changing some settings (even getting back to the very same one) it resumes writing.In the very same machine and system, Photoshop works perfectly fine. 

Everytime I copy and paste a gradient mesh it becomes an image on my Macbook's Illustrator 2026. I works normally on illustrator 2025 and on a windows pc. I don't have anything installed that would affect this.  *I have already posted this but i had to go on a trip and wasn't able to respond to the request to test a solution of the adobe support person who answered (Anubhav), so the post was deleted haha? :] I was not aware my account would be reset for not answering quick enough Either way, i was asked to change the name of three folders in the Cache, Adobe Support and Library - adding ".old" at the end of each and launch it from creative cloud and it did not solve it.  I'm also not using the beta version but there's no bug report category for the normal one to select.

イラストレーター使用中に図形にぼかしを入れましたが勝手にぼかし具合が大きくなり図形を元に戻せなくなりました。今までイラストレーターを使用中にそのようなソフトの不具合は見たことがなかったのでソフトの不具合であれば返金してもらいたいと考えてますが同じような症状を確認した方はいますか？ 

Version de l’application :Illustrator 2025 (Bêta) : 29.7.88Plateforme :macOS Catalina – Version 10.15.7Problème :Lorsque je réouvre un fichier enregistré la veille, certains éléments apparaissent complètement décalés à l’intérieur de leurs blocs. Le rectangle de contenu reste à la bonne position, mais les objets qu’il contient sont déplacés.Ce problème est déjà survenu trois fois, sur des fichiers enregistrés localement et non modifiés entre-temps. Ce sont des fichiers techniques destinés à l’impression, donc ce genre de décalage peut avoir des conséquences importantes.Je ne sais pas s’il s’agit d’un bug ou d’une erreur de manipulation, mais je préfère vous en faire part.Je vous joins une capture d’écran du problème. Si nécessaire, je peux également transmettre le fichier source.Merci d’avance pour votre retour et bravo pour le développement de cette version bêta prometteuse !Cordialement,Vincent Mutti

Lately, Adobe Illustrator has been testing my patience.Whether i make a copy on simple vectors or larger projects, it randomly freezes, lags, or just vanishes. No error, no warning – just gone. I’ve tried:Updating to the latest versionClearing preferencesDisabling GPU performanceReducing file size & artboards Still, the crashes keep happening. &#x1f605It’s frustrating when deadlines are tight and hours of work vanish in a click. Is this just me, or is Illustrator going through a “mid-life crisis”?If you’ve found a fix (or at least a way to make it crash less), I’m all ears. 🙌 

Please look at improving the graph tools, I have not used them for some time due to the time it takes to get them looking the way I need, using Apple Numbers instead but I forced myself yesterday…There has been no update for years and this could be so useful.

I was working in outline mode on a drawing that requires specific measurements to be applied, when i zoomed in and attempted the operation, zoom stopped working and then the software froze, it accepts the button inputs of the and reacts (i see the percentage changing when I attempt to zoom out again, but overall system is unresponsive. making me lose my work since now I have to reset the document.  

Les équivalents claviers habituels pour la manipulation de texte ne marchent plus. Augmenter/diminuer le corps, l’interlignage, le décalage vertical… Si on les reconfigure. Même problème. 

Create a block of text. Then select some text and attempt to change the font. In the font picker, select the icon for recently used fonts. The app then crashes
