Save for Web is disabled
Open both files attached in any Ai version from 26.4.1 to 27, and try to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) for both.
The command will be disabled for the 'bad' and enabled for 'good', although the only rectangle in both is the same.
There is something wrong in the file structure then, but what?Also, the ExportOptionsPNG24 does nothing if a script with it gets run.

import DXF Blocks
In fashion Industry, one of the most common exchange file format is DXF-AAMA/ASTM.
If it is too complex to Illustrator to handle all the subtilities of this format, could it be possible at least to manage "Blocks" ?
Blocks are DXF entities which can be assimilate as "Groups" or "Symbols"
but in Ai Groups and Symbols may stay on a single layer.
In DXF Blocks, you may have multiple entities on multiple layers, but you need to keep them as a single object.
So I was wondering if Ai could generate for each Block a layer (with the name of…72 votes -
Give the ability to export extra Spot colors in .PSD files (also implement the Mixed Inks feature)
I think it's for Adobe to implement the ability to export files in .PSD and have those extra colors in separate channels (maybe in CMYK mode plus the extra spot colors translated to extra color channels).
If it works well with PDF files why not with Photoshop files?
It's a real pain to get a 5 colors file (CMYK + Pantone color) exported to Photoshop. PSD files have all the colors flattened for the exported mode option (RGB, CMYK).
Also, it's time to think very serious about implement the Mixed Inks from Indesign into Illustrator and in the end the…

Share for Review extra functions
Hi,
I'm really thankful for this review function but there are a couple of things I would like to see in the future. Hopefully, some are already in progress!
Ability to select which artboards to share
Show the size of the artboard (I prepare 6 artboards at a go, clients do not know what size are they looking at)
Have a pretty URL that does not look like... https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:46b3c72e-e17c-42b7-2da9-08fc21a30b91
A caption area for each artboard so that I can put down some notes directly on the Illustrator app.
Thank you!

Export revisions only
When making minor updates to an existing presentation or pdf, option to "Export Revisions Only" to an existing file name or pdf - similar to Adobe Acrobat's new feature to detect changes between similar documents, this feature allows you export/update only the pages with revisions into an existing .pdf file. This saves a lot of export time when a client asks for several small revisions to a 10-20+ page presentation or document.

Save the Export Path to with Export for Screens Presets
Please, SAVE the "Export To:" path with the Export Preset.
I don't want to set my Export Path in Export for Screen every f*ing time I restart Illustrator.
I was hoping that Export Presets would have fixed this annoyance, but it didn't help at all.
It amazes me how impossible it seems for Adobe to get these simple things work like they should.

3Dオブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した書き出し
3dモデルを書き出す際、オブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した状態で書き出せるようにして欲しい。
座標や回転を維持して書き出せれば、3dを使ったモーションポスターなどの制作などにとても役立ちます。3 votes -
Add Color Mode "BITMAP" to TIFF Options in FILE->EXPORT->EXPORT AS
Add Color Mode "BITMAP" to TIFF Options in FILE->EXPORT->EXPORT AS
I regularly export high resolution ( 1440 dpi ) black and white tiff images from illustrator. Right now they must be exported as grayscale and then I have to open them in photoshop and convert them to 1 bit images and resave.

Embed SBSAR 3D Material Into .AI File
The ability to embed a 3D SBSAR material into an illustrator file so that other designers can open and use the same .ai file. Currently, the material is lost and greyed out.
Especially if they are custom SBSAR materials made in Adobe Substance Sampler.

Export for Screen Preset system is a FIASCO
As comments for this thread are closet, I start a new one.
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32015539-custom-presets-for-asset-export-export-for-screeThis Preset thing is a disaster. It doesn't fix any issues I have with Export For Screens.
It doesn't save the Folder for the export. So I have to set it every time I open my document, as Illustrator set it to the same folder as where my AI document is. This was, and now still is, my major problem with Export for Screens.
Also, I have to select the Preset every time I open my AI file. The least I was hoping was that the settings…

export non-printing layers so they are visible in a PDF
I believe this used to not be a problem, but now when I have a layer set to not print, it is not visible in a PDF. I have to toggle the layer on in Acrobat in order to see it, but this does not work for my needs.
I want to make non-printing layers automatically visible when saving as a PDF.

Export 3D elements with ALL of the faces separated.
Please give us the ability to export 3D elements created in Ai with ALL of the faces separately (bevels, extrusion, front/back), so that they can be colored or textured individually. It would be very valuable and save time to have this in one app, just as is/was in Ps. thank you!

Can you add the option to make a multipage pdf from the variable dataset export? Needed for compatibility with printing software
Currently when exporting vardatasets, you get a single page pdf per dataset.
When making stickers some printing software cannot apply printing and contour cutting on multiple images.
I would be nice if the datasets can export a multipage pdf, or if an action can be made that creates artboards from datasets instead of exporting.2 votes -
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…

The large print documents do not give the option of exporting the artwork to dxf or dwg format.
Whenever I work on large print documents, I do not have the option to export it to dwg format. I have to re-size the artwork and the copy and paste it into a normal A4 size document and then export the artwork in dwg file. And after I open the file in cad, I have to re-size it again to actual scale.
However when I export, I have an option to exporting the artwork in 1:100 or 1:500, but I don't have the habit of working with scales and it feels inconvenient.

Export for screens missing modern features in order to be useful for responsive images on the web in 2022
It's 2022 and responsive images on the web are well supported across all browsers.
Export for Screens is close to being a good tool for this, but missing out on a few smaller but critical needs for modern responsive web (by priority):
1. Customize ppi in combination with width / height / scale Formats exports
2. Support for moderne formats: webp, avif and near future jpegXLAnd not really a export only feature, but:
3. Be able to override antialiasing export settings per layer so text and artwork can be applied different antialiasing during exportNote: Typical answer to several…

HDTV and other Film & Video Presets
Please make presets without all the green stuff (see screenshot), and with a black background, since RGB is additive color mixing, which starts on black rather than on white. See how your After Effects fellows deal with video :-)
I personally never need rulers and a center mark, since we exactly know where objects are, and where the center is by using Smart Guides and Transform.
(But I am curious who likes all the green clutter you have to clear when starting a document based on these presets.)
