1. Package/collect multiple illustrator files at once for sending to printers like "Art Files 3" does.

   We currently use Art Files 3 to package multiple ai files at once without having to individually open the illustrator files. With the new Illustrator 2023, Art Files 3 is no longer compatible and they also seem to be out of business. We send anywhere from 3-20 files at once on a regular basis. Working with multiple artboards in one file is not an option. We need to find a subsitute app or a solution that can package miltiple files, fonts and images (both embedded and linked) all at once like Art Files.. We can't use the AI package feature as it requires opening and packging one file at a time and doesn't not package embedded files.

2. Extract missing links from Ai editable PDF when opening it in Illustrator

   PDF's saved from illustrator with 'preserve illustrator editing capabilities' do not embed any linked raster images in the Illustrator compatible component. When the PDF is opened in illustrator for editing, a message alerts that the links are missing, and low res images show when opened. The links are present in the PDF portion of the file and can be extracted manually and relinked. Might be a big ask, but it would be more ideal that Illustrator recognises the links are contained within the file, and is able to extract them automatically and embed them into the Illustrator component during opening.

5. Import SVG fails to load images correctly when linked via a use tag with the source provided in the defs

   The import SVG feature does not correctly load images when using a use tag that links to an image in the defs list.

   The issues with the import are the following:
   1. The image is incorrectly placed in the clipping group, despite one not being present in the svg.
   2. Two strange clipping path triangles are incorrectly added to the clipping group that completely hides the images.
   3. The art board is also incorrect and not placed around the design.

   I created a small svg example that has an image that is linked twice within the design.
   <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0,0,100,100">
   <defs>
   <image xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIAAAAyCAYAAAAeP4ixAAAARUlEQVR42u3PQQ0AAAjEMM6/aMACT5IuM9B01f6/gICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIBcGuAsY8/q7uoYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" id="image-1"/>
   </defs>
   <g>
   <use x="0" y="0" width="50" height="50" xlink:href="#image-1"/>
   <use x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" xlink:href="#image-1"/>
   </g>
   </svg>

   The SVG should show two red squares that are in a checkered pattern. I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

   I am running the latest version of Illustrator, version 26.5. This issue affects previous versions of the software.

7. ファイルをテンプレートとして保存する際の改善を求めます

   (Illustrator)ファイルをテンプレートとして保存するときに、アプリケーションフォルダ内のテンプレートフォルダにイラストレーター上から直接保存することが出来ないのは承知していますが、他の保存場所に保存しなければいけないのは一手間かかります。
   可能でしたら、デフォルトの「テンプレート」フォルダから直接、読み書き(保存も含む)出来ると、やはり助かりますので、是非対応してくださいますよう、要望を出しておきます。

8. Staggering Saves

   I would like to be able to run multiple saves on a file without waiting for the first save to finish. For example while it is saving the .ai file I would like to also save a PDF immediately after. The software in the background wouldn't halt me interrupting my workflow but instead hold the second save in the background and run it once the first save finished. Prior to CC this was something I did a lot and competitors software as well as your own media encoder for Video apps have this function.

9. Save and export

   File > Save and Export
   So many times the last time I saved a file was to export and then I had to reboot. This is an option that would save the headache of rebuilding just because someone asked you for a proof and your brain closed a file that was "saved".

11. Save as PDF with multiple artboards is slow

    Just had an long trail/error chat with you. We found the problem and thats why i post it here:

    When having a illustator file with 1 image and 4 artboards. (segments of the image). We print & mount the 4 artboards it to make a complete wall vinyl graphics.

    When i Save as PDF the export will take lets say 4 minutes. (it very depends on what image is used) but when i merge all artboards to 1 artboard it saves in 1 minute. So it means that per artboard the export time is multipled by number of artboards.

    Sometimes we have a file with 15 arboards and that will take more then 15 minutes to save. What is very long, illustrator is frozen at that moment.

    The resources of my PC are barely used (CPU & GPU at 10%)
    so there is allot of time that can be saved.

    So basicly i think you need to use more PC resources

    or

    optimize the multiple artboards save as process
    Now it seems to take every step with every artboard over and over again. What is not very smart/quick

12. Add the "are you sure" when clicking "no" to "Save changes to document before closing" on an unsaved document

    My fingers are so fast that I will quickly click no on the saving option and I didn't mean to. Can you add an additional button after clicking "no". For example "are you sure you want to lose the work that is posted here" that way we have the 10 seconds to remember that we actually wanted to save this document instead of accidentally deleting it. It doesn't happen all the time but it usually happens on documents I have been working on for hours. I've lost so much work because my hands work faster than my brain.

13. Restoring the CAD tree-view when importing DXF files.

    Before version 25.1, when importing DXF files created with a CAD software (Solid Edge), each part of an assembly was recognized by Illustrator (1 part = 1 layer).
    This is not the case anymore since version 25.1. The last version in which it works is version 25.0.1

14. Variable Data, or Variable Text Improvement

    Recently, my business has been doing a lot of acrylic construction tags for Electricians, and HVAC companies, and Illustrator is generally our "go to" software suite when developing files for our clients, but with the recent work that has been coming in to our company, we have begun to explore the variable data features in Illustrator, and have found this feature to be less than ideal, and is currently not a viable alternative to the way we have been doing things thusfar.

    Currently, it seems the variables that one would set up in a given design file are referenced, or linked to a single row containing data in the file, and does not allow the user to set up multiple rows of variable data, within the same design file.

    Some of the equipment control software in our shop seems to let us setup the process files in a manner that does let users pull indepenent columns of data, and then allows the user to sort that data by row in setting up the file.

    That being said, the variable data software that is found in that particular equipment, is not found in the equipment/control software that is used to process these tags, so Illustrator would hopefully provide an answer to that dilemma (if it had the ability to set up the variable data to independently populate text fields, within the design file, in a more efficient manner).

17. Export for screens: poor JPG compression and custom JPG settings

    The compression and quality when "exporting for screens" in JPG is really bad compared to "Export for web".

    • You cannot customize the quality of the JPG
    • It embeds the color profile in the file, even if you have selected not to do so.

20. Save Color Profiles by Default

    By default, the color profiles I assign to the file should be saved.

    There have been several times I have assigned a color profile to my Illustrator file, saved it as a PDF, and the printed PDF were the wrong colors because Illustrator didn't include the assigned profile. I then had to reopen my file, manually tell Illustrator to include all color profiles when saving, and then reprint.

    It is ridiculous that the file doesn't save assigned profiles by default.
