I have had been a heavy Illustrator user for many years now and I just started having this issue in the past 6 months or so. It has caused A LOT of grief and lost work. Is this a new problem?

Hi @brandonantol1985,

 

Sorry about the trouble. We have tried to address this issue in our latest release, v26.0.2.

This build also contains fixes for stability, security, and some other reported issues. Please update the Illustrator and let us know if you are still getting this message while opening files.

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini

Hi there,

 

I am sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you to share a few more details like:

  • OS and version of Illustrator
  • Are you using an M1-based mac device?
  • Is this happening with multiple files?
  • Could you please share the original files with us? We can try to recover them. You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini
