Illustrator pathfinder problem fixed It appears that Mac OS X 10.4.9 resolves some significant issues related to Adobe Illustrator, much to the joy of users whom have been plagued by the problems for months with no respite from Adobe.

One of the more prominent issues, discussed in our Mac OS X 10.4.8 special report, was an inability to properly use the application's "pathfinder" tool, which is used for manipulating compound shapes. The problem seemed to occur only on Intel-based Macs. Most users affected by this issue reported that the crash occurs when attempting to use the pathfinder tool to modify shapes created by the pen tool, circle tool, and others.

This issue is resolved in Mac OS X 10.4.9.

"I had a whole lab of iMac (Intel Core Duo) computers that were experiencing the Adobe Illustrator Pathfinder bug. I'd like to report that 10.4.9 fixes this glitch. I have a whole lab of students using the tool right now in their class, which they haven't been able to do since the beginning of the semester (when we jumped to 10.4.8)."
