Opening Adobe Express generated QR Codes in illustrator

Hi,

 

Does anybody know why Illustrator would take 2-3 minutes to open a single .svg QR Code generated by Adobe Express? The latest version of Illy, macOS, on a Macbook Pro M1 Max?

 

I need to format several, which will sap all my remaining energy.

 

Thanks,

Will

I can attest that there are still issues with this. I created a simple QR code, didn't change the color, but changed the style to round pixels. If I place it into Illustrator, and then try and cut and paste it, it will crash Illustrator.

Btw, the work-around is to use PNG, and use Illustrator to trace it into vector art.

Or just fill it with black in Illustrator.

Can you upload such a file so one can take a look at it?

    I can't, .svg format isn't supported on here.
