Retype is now more accessible than ever, as you no longer need a GPU to match fonts or edit outlined text. However, a GPU is still required to edit text within images. Additionally, enjoy improved accuracy in font matching for smaller outlined text. Learn more about Retype.

Experience significantly faster pan and zoom operations, ensuring smoother navigation, especially with large files.
To enhance your panning experience, Illustrator hides annotations such as guides, perspective grids, object selections, and anchor points. However, artboard boundaries remain visible during panning. There are no changes to annotations while zooming.

When opening a PDF file in Illustrator, you now have the choice to import the exact page displayed in the preview. Easily navigate through the preview pages to locate and open the specific page you require.

Now in Illustrator, exporting as PDF is straightforward. Navigate to File > Export > Export As and choose PDF from the drop-down menu. Customize your settings using either default options or personalized presets.

Now, you can easily copy the names of linked files by selecting Links panel menu > Copy Info. With this copied information, effortlessly locate or modify the files on your computer.
