2. Export symbols to SVG like as native path/vector

   It would be very coherent to have an option to configure a "break link" when exporting symbols to SVG, leaving it as a common vector.
   Currently, exporting symbols to svg creates a <symbol> element, leaving us with no freedom to manipulate every SVG as usual.
   Extra hint: Put the symbol name as ID of the converted object in vector.
   Since in Web projects, we need SVG with all its elements in native shapes/paths.

   Hi Adson,

   Thanks a lot for adding your feature request to Uservoice. Just to confirm, symbols are references by at the moment but you’d rather like to have the actual instance added directly:

   Is this correct? What issues do you have with ?

3. Export for Screens without bleed option

   Export screens without the bleed

   I really like the feature called Export screens, but I do not really use it for print jobs, cause I can't export any picture format file without the bleed section of the document, which I use to show the client the stages of the job. Still, I could do the same with Save for web function, but it would be very very useful to export multiple artboards at the same time without the bleed.

4. Return / make optional ability to indicate subfolders in artboard name / path

   In previous versions it was possible to make name of artboard as "folder/subfolder/artboardname" and while export it would reproduce whole hierarchy of subfolders.
   It was super nice for organizing assets.
   Now it saves file in base directory and replaces "/" with "-".
   Maybe we can put this option to settings so that people may continue to use it.

5. Export for Screens in AI should be just like PS's Version

   PLEASE make the export for screens function precisely like the one used in Photoshop.

   In particular:

   (1) it needs to be possible to export at <0.5x, which is currently the upper limit. If I am producing assets for iOS @3x for whatever reason -- say, they include an unscalable PNG from PS for instance -- to produce the 1x asset I need to export @0.33x, which you don't allow, but PS does. (less important but also mind-boggling is why you don't allow upscaling beyond 33.3x.)

   (2) The default export option should be to export to the SAME FOLDER IN WHICH THE FILE IS SAVED. This ridiculous omission costs me valuable time every time I have to export files in different locations. PS also has this correct.

   (3) Your defaults should be the default and they should change based on the file I have open, not based on the export options I had selected for the last file I had open, e.g. if I choose to export File A as 1.0x, 0.67x, and the aforementioned impossible 0.33x, the next time I export those options should NOT now be the default for an entirely different file, where most likely 1x, 2x, 3x are appropriate.

6. Save in Multiple Formats at once.

   It would be a HUGE time saving feature.
   It is such a waste of time to have to save each individual file I am working on separately. It would be great for instance to be able to save in both ai and pdf formats at the same time. As well as being able to save every file simultaneously in the chosen format / version.
   Saving files in Illustrator is a truly Tedious, long drawn out affair.
   And of course being able to save in the background so you do not get locked out of other files you are currently working on.

7. Adobe have to improve the SVG exportation tool

   Adobe have to improve the SVG tool, because we need to create new document to be able export SVG CODE directly from Illustrator file...
   Will be better, if we colect files to export, and on this function, be able to export not just SVG file, but also the SVG code, to use diretly on CSS and HTML.
   Will be a great help to web designers.
   Cumpz :)

8. Export selected only

   Would like to see an "EXPORT SELECTED ONLY" option, so that you can export just a selection of items from a file with many elements. Really a pain to have to copy the items I want to export, and paste them into a new file in order to export them.

9. SVG export option to export global Color Swatches as CSS Custom Properties

   In addition to classes and IDs, CSS custom properties (aka. CSS variables) are a great way to style SVG Content.
   Conceptually they are closest to Illustrators global color swatches.

   I propose to add an Option to SVG Export of Adobe Illustrator to turn named global color swatches into CSS custom properties.

   Example:

   Original Output:
   fill: #456; stroke: #abc;

   New Output:
   fill: var(--medium-grey, #456) ; stroke: var(--dark-grey, #abc);

   Web applications could use the custom properties, to quickly create color-variations of an illustration.

   Example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/KQwpJR/

   An additional option could be a compatibility mode for the styling options "Inline Style" and "Internal CSS", that adds an additional fallback for browsers, that don't support custom properties at all:

   fill: #456; fill: var(--medium-grey, #456);

   This fallback should be opt-in, since it increases file size.

   Use-Cases:

   • Theming of Icon-Sets (like http://www.streamlineicons.com/ux/)
   • Branding and Color Variations
   • Definition of CMYK and Spot Colors Versions in Print Stylesheets or other applicable Media
   • Animating Color Transitions with CSS (example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/aEMaNz/)

10. Remember scaling per file in Save for web

    I design for printing and use 'Save for web and devices' to have crisp images.
    E.g. I can have document 300x900mm, and then I export it as 600x1800px and have my snapped sharp lines to stay sharp.
    But 'SfWaD' always immediately renders image at '100%' (which is not 100% at all at Windows — it's an another problem to be discussed), and I get 850x2551.
    When my dimensions are bigger, AI sometimes can't even render an image and I get error message and pink fill in preview area.
    I try to draw ten times smaller whenever is possible to avoid this, but sometimes it's not convenient.

    'Export for screens' doesn't provide direct custom scaling, only integers.

    Proposed solution is too remember scaling in 'SfWaD'. In example given it could stick to the 70,6% after pressing 'Done' button.
    But it will still require AI to render at 100% anyway, so the second better way is to skip immediate rendering and letting user to set values first (you can set an option for it).

14. Add Scale to SVG and PDF Export for Screens

    My biggest pain point in production for mobile right now is the inability to scale vector assets in Export for Screens. X-code prefers PDF assets be imported at 1x size. Android Studio prefers that SVG assets be smaller than 200x200 px. When I have large templates of icons or other assets that need to be sized differently for different purposes, it is crippling to have to resize these.

    For example, I have a set of icons that are used for a glyph font. These are all sized at a scale of 1000pt high. In order for me to export this same set as svgs for Android, each image and artboard must then be resized to below 200 px in order to do an export. Not fun when you have 300 to resize.

    Another example is achievement badges where I need to export 1x PDFs or small, medium, and large badges. Again, when you have hundreds of graphics, this is an immense amount of production work that could be saved if Scale were available for vector assets on Export for Screens.

    I know that vector assets are fully scalable and the size of the export should not matter. Unfortunately both iOS and Android dev environments have quirks that favor sized vector graphics.

15. Open a PDF with option to outline text

    Sometimes if you don't have a font, a pdf opened in Illustrator will result in boxes with "x"s in them in place of all the fonts. I know how to go into Adobe Acrobat and fix this. But.... Would be nice if Illustrator had a dialogue box when opening a PDF that gave the option to outline all text open opening.

17. The ability to check an option for "convert lines to shapes" when I export different formats

    When exporting a file to SVG.... I wish there was a check box where I can specify it converts all lines to shapes on export to SVG... This way I do not have to do the conversion manually... and then revert back when I save ai version...

    Often I get messages that distract me and then I forget to revert back and accidentally save the ai version with lines as shapes... then my mast ai version gets messed up...

    Hi Steve,

18. Artboard preview in Save dialog

    In the theme of "recognition over recall," it would be great if the Save dialog allowed you to preview artboards the way the Print dialog does. When I'm working fast I don't always remember to stop and jot down the numbers of the specific artboards I need to export, and it's annoying to have to exit the save dialog, find the numbers, go back to the save dialog, repeat any necessary steps such as setting file name and location, THEN enter my desired artboard number(s) before moving forward. Having the artboard preview as part of the save window would cut out at least one tedious step.

    (Bonus: while I referenced the print dialog preview as a possible way to execute this, I'd prefer a solution that shows a preview of all the artboards arranged in a grid by number, and allows me to select the artboards I want to export just by clicking on their thumbnails. The print dialog's current solution to this problem becomes tedious when dealing with large numbers of artboards.)

20. Save Vector Artboards by Clipping Vector Art to the Artboard

    I need for vector artboards to be fully clipped to the artboard when saving as PDF and/or any other vector format. I have vector artwork for large format printing that I have cropped into many artboards in the same file. When I save individual artboards as PDF, any lines that extend outside the artboard are still available in the saved PDF file when opened in Illustrator. I need artboards to truly clip the vector artwork or I need another solution to this issue. Clipping masks do not actually clip vector artwork, in Outline Mode, the entire artwork is still there. The scissor and knife tools are painfully time consuming. Why is there no way to save just the data that you want to save?
