NO consistency between products
In Illustrator zoom is with "cmd+scroll" while in most other products/programs (e.g. Acrobat reader) the combination is "ctrl+scroll". This would be nice if it would be consistent in all products!

Illustrator for Android
I was not being offhand Adobe when I replied "That will have to do."
re: the Illustrator version for Android that we were discussing, I am hoping that the Android version of Illustrator will be as fully versatile as the PC version with just as much ability.280 votes -
Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.
The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.
If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.
I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

境界線を隠すコマンドについて
境界線を隠すコマンドを以前の仕様に戻してほしいです。
せっかく境界線を隠すコマンドを使用しているのに、複数オブジェクトを選択するとはじめに選択したオブジェクトの境界が現れます。
また、テキストの一部文章を選択した際も選択範囲が強調され、選択部分のみのカラー変更をする際に変更がリアルタイムに確認できません。1 vote -

I want to edit the shape of the gaussian blur
I like to "paint" using gaussian blur, using it primarily for shadows and highlights. Sometimes it leaves some pixels in places I don't want them, and I cannot mask them away and I cannot erase them.

Dear Team, Need AI can save files faster when we all are working homes, in a lower network speed.
Adobe AI getting more slower in the aspects of saving even small files, when we all are working from home till now, it should be save much faster our files and can save some backup files even.

Lock Layer/Object That Stays Locked as a PDF
I have a flyer with text and graphics to send out to end-users. I want them to be able to edit the text in Acrobat but not touch the logo and graphics. I have tried to lock the object/layer but Acrobat ignores my wishes and makes everything editable in the pdf.

Actually Fix Adobe Illustrator
It sucks how I'll be able to use Adobe Illustrator for a bit on my laptop (MacBook Air 13 inch Retina) then it crashes my entire laptop, it will freeze and my tabs would flicker really bad and at times part of my screen would go black while the other half is glitching, I downloaded the entire Creative Cloud to use for work not to sit around and get frustrated while trouble-shooting all of the problems with this application.

Lag, slowdown and crashing
Illustrator starts lagging all the time on my a brand new, fully upgraded MacBook Pro. It also crashes almost every day. It's embarrassing that Adobe are charging for a software that barely works. Especially when competitors like Figma is free and also feels like 10 years ahead overall. Solve this or I will end my subscription for good.

Power Efficiency
Since I've moved to working remotely entirely, I've noticed how quickly using several Adobe programs burns through my laptop battery. I'm running a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with the latest MacOS Catalina version, and I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half of battery life while running InDesign and Illustrator at the same time. When I review what is using the most battery life, my Mac lists InDesign, Illustrator, and Core Sync as the main culprits.
Now, I understand that these programs at times are fairly graphically intensive, but the battery life I'm getting is absymal, and…

Please optimize the performance of illustrator as whole, panning & zooming on macOS.
Adobe UI experience is like you are remotely connect to a computer and using illustrator on it. Frustrating...

Illustrator 2020 (version 24.0.3) for MACOS
Now Illustrator 2020 (version 24.0.3) doesn't use Apple Metal API. they just use OPENGL that means gpu performance are slower. why aren't they use Metal API? it's not faster than open gl api? It's very shame that they aren't using a metal api.
smooth. it's smooth because they are not using a apple ui framework. if they use apple ui framework it will run smooth and faster.

Support for Windows 64-bit (ARM64, e.g. Snapdragon X Elite) devices (including Copilot+, Surface)
Illustrator and Photoshop support for ARM64 devices would be great. I own a Surface Pro X and would love to continue using Core Adobe apps on that device. 32 bit performance is quite poor.
41 votesIllustrator is now available as a native Windows ARM build in Beta — previously it was limited to some setups via x64 emulation through Windows on ARM's translation layer.
Now it’s been compiled and is running directly on ARM64, no emulation.
Key differences
- ~30% performance gain vs. the emulated build
- Lower CPU/battery footprint
- A proper base for further ARM-specific optimizations
Known limitations
- Third-party plugins: Not currently supported. The team will share SDK availability details soon.
- CC Libraries panel: Not supported in this build. The panel will not appear in the panel list.
- AutoCAD (DWG) files: Real DWG format is not supported.
- Version History panel (cloud documents): Panel does not refresh after saving. Workaround: close and reopen the document.
- Encrypted PDFs: Not supported.
- The "Use Precise Cursor" setting is not imported correctly when importing preferences.
Please try to update from your CCD app and give it a go!

Option for anti-aliasing in Outline View
Please allow us to turn on anti-aliasing in Outline View. It’s a very useful view for path editing, but it can be difficult to assess the fidelity with all the stepping due to anti-aliasing being off. Making it a toggle would be ideal. Many thanks!

GPU performance is not working properly
GPU performance should improve efficiency when drawing complex objects, but the behavior has been delayed since CC 2018 (version 22).
The file created in CC 2015.3 (version 20) is test sample.
If you select a created object and move it with the mouse, the result will be completely different.2015.3 / 2017: Drawing delay does not occur when GPU performance is ON
2018 / 2019 / 2020: GPU performance ON causes drawing delay, OFF is fasterThe confirmed environment is Windows 10 1909 + Intel Core i7-6700HQ + GeForce GTX 950M.
In addition, although it is another data, the delay…27 votes -
Remove "Move" limitation from Transform Each & Transform Effect
When moving items via "Transform Each", objects are limited to moving 55.555". However, when moving objects with Move (Object - Transform - Move), no such limitation exists (Issue is prevalent in V24.0.1, 23 & CS6)
The same limit exists for Transform Effect.
My request is for the removal of this limitation to allow for accurate artwork creation.Issue is documented and verified here:

The new Adobe 2020 is very unstable !!!
The new Adobe 2020 is very unstable it can not handle graphics at all. Every time I save it hangs or crashes. Every time I even move an object on my page I get a wheel of death . this upgrade has been most frustrating. to the point where I have added a downgraded 2019 version
