Adobe Stock vectors with "editable stroke" description misleading

I've licensed about a dozen vectors from Adobe Stock where the description reads "editable stroke", which is what I needed. However, when you open them in Illustrator you find that the strokes have been outlined—not editable. Is anyone checking for this? It becomes a bit of a time suck when you think you found an image you can use, only to find that you must keep searching. Apparently this happens a lot. The last one I found is file 406405946.

Hello @William James5D95, sorry for the poor experience with this type of asset. I've sent the details of the vector to be reviewed internally. Thank you for the report and sorry for the problem with the vector.

How about at least offering a way for users to REPORT THIS? I'd like my money back for the two wasted downloads.

Include the asset numbers here and we can report it to an Adobe  rep for review and refund.

    I got TWO of these today. Very annoying and I won't download anything from creators who use that label and burn me. So better tell them this because it's going to impact the downloads of their graphics.

    Sorry for this. the "rules" for contributors are a bit confusing in this regard, so most icins are outlines, and should not claim editable strokes.

     

    I suppose @Contributor1 should have a look into this. Unfortunately you will have to look for a different asset.
