Error while opening Ai files: "This text was created in a different version of Illustrator"

Hello, same issue / bug here

OS Windows 10 and 11

Illustrator version 27.7

After designing and saving the Illustrator file, everything seems normal.

Once I reopen the Illustrator file, then the text that has been placed on a curve (Type on a Path) disappears.

This has happened in different working files of mine

Apparently, Adobe hasn't fixed this issue. Just created this today. Illustrator version 27.7. Text disappears just magnifying, moving vector art close to it, or just opening and its gone. I've made a safe layer and even that disappeared. Can I have my Freehand back? 🙂 

Seriously, Adobe has been in an update frenzy of late. Maybe that's the problem. If Adobe has had this problem since 2019, clearly, they are not addressing existing issues. Take a breath, Adobe, and fix existing problems for your customers who pay a lot for this software.

Hello,
Me to I'm having the same message opening an AI file today.
I see your post is recent from last months.

I'm on OS 10.12.6

AI 23.11

I believe my file was created in a slightly earlier version using some Type Kit fonts.
Have you found any fix for this ?

I'm currently trying to reinstall and older version of AI.

Hi Libby,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please confirm if you have updated the CC app or Illustrator? Which OS and version of Illustrator you are working on? These messages appear when we try to open a file created in an older version of Illustrator on the comparatively newer version.

Generally, it should not make any changes. You may try creating a backup of the file for a safer side and then try to open the file again and when you get this message please click on OK and see if things are fine.

Regards
Rishabh
