Quick Start 1.10 · Potential Issues
Certain capacities of Adobe Illustrator are not natively available in the SVG format.
In most cases there is a workaround.
Use browser search (cmd/ctrl-F) to find specific information on this page.
Meshes
When an SVG is exported, the mesh is exported alongside as a PNG file.
This PNG file is not uploaded correctly by the Svija sync engine.
Workaround: save once as an SVG, then move the PNG file to the Links folder and use it to replace the mesh.
Keep the mesh on a non-printing layer for future use.
Multiple Font Weights on a Single Line
Because Safari does not scale text evenly with window size, multiple font weights on a single line will create the impression that there is either too much or not enough space between the words where the weight changes.
Workaround: text on a path does not suffer from this issue, and paragraphs can be made by continuing the text element from one line to the next.
Kerning & Tracking
Kerning and tracking values are ignored when an SVG is created.
Workaround: convert text to outlines.
Multiple Artboards
The Save All as SVG script saves multiple artboards as a single SVG with the upper left corner defined by the 0,0 coordinates in the Illustrator document.
Workaround: manually save the document as an SVG, checking the box that says Use Artboards.
