Which system and version of Illustrator is it?

[SUBURIME]

Mac 2020 M1 / Tahoe 26.0 Beta / The latest version of AI

[Monika Gause]

With beta systems you have to expect this. That's why beta software and systems shouldn't be used on productive systems. You can report this in the Illustrator (Beta) forum. But basically there's not a lot you can do about it.

[SUBURIME]

Yup I didn't tought it would be malfunctioning tho. Should I downgrade my Mac OS?

[Monika Gause]

If you do not have another computer, then this is probably your only option to get a functioning app again.

I'm getting the same error, for a week now

[Ton Frederiks]

Don't use beta software for production.

Hi @SUBURIME,

Thanks for sharing more details. I see you’re using a Mac 2020 M1 with the Tahoe 26.0 Beta OS and the latest Illustrator version. As Monika mentioned, our apps haven't been tested or officially supported on Beta operating systems, so stability or features aren't guaranteed in that environment.

If this is affecting your work, I'd recommend going back to a stable macOS version to ensure Illustrator functions properly. Please let me know once you decide or if you need help with anything else.

Looking forward to your update!

Hi. Im using Tahoe Public Beta 1 and only using version 29.0 of Illustrator, I was able to use it in this beta. Even so, sometimes I need to restart the machine when it doesn't open. We are in Beta Public of macOS and I think Adobe should at least be working on compatibility with these betas, because in September we will have the final versions.

Hola! hoy me surgio el siguiente porblema en illustrator y también en Photoshop. Cuando quiero guardar un archivo y selecciono PDF en el cuadro de dialogo, aparece ese error, exactamente al momento que elijo PDF, antes de presionar el boton guardar. Tampoco puedo exportar como JPG. Solo en PNG que esta selecciónado como predeterminado.

Probe con AI 2024 y luego el 2025, los dos dan el mismo error.

Hoy mismo actualice el sistema Mac Tahoe 26.0

Gracias!

Are you using a beta version of Mac OS? 

[Andr�s Maxit]

Yes! 

Shift+Command+S doesn't save as a PDF.
But I can EXPORT as a PDF. In this case, it doesn't generate an error; this method doesn't allow me to use the PDF options, image quality, color profiles, etc.

Shift+command+S no guarda en PDF.

Pero si puedo EXPORTAR como PDF. En este caso no genera error, con este metodo no tengo las opciones de PDF, calidad de imagen, perfiles de color, etc.

Beta versions of Mac OS are not supported.

Hi I'm using the Public 1 beta of macOS Tahoe and this function is working normally with the latest version of Photoshop and only with version 29.0 of Illustrator, although sometimes for Illustrator to work you need to restart the system. We are already in Beta Public 1 and Adobe is not yet working even on a beta version of the APPs that are compatible with macOS Tahoe, in September the final version of macOS comes out and I hope we have something from Adobe 🙏

[Monika Gause]

I wouldn't install a new version of MacOS straight after release. It's just not reliable.
