Hi @Doi.sa,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshots. Since this worked for you before, please try the expert's suggestion and update

If the issue continues, kindly share your exact OS version and confirm if it happens with all files or only specific ones. Also, in Illustrator, go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard and make sure both PDF and AICB (No Transparency Support) are enabled.

A short screen recording of your workflow would also help us share it with the team for further investigation.

 

Looking forward to your update.

Can you check the preferences > File handling? Is SVG checked?

Hello @Doi.sa,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Could you share more details, like the version of the OS/Illustrator/Photoshop installed, and if this started happening after a recent hardware/software change, so I can better assist you?

Also, try running this after rebooting your computer in Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and letting us know if it helps.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
