Kill switch
Would be great FOR ALL ADOBE PRODUCTS to create a kill switch at start-up. Don't know how many times I have launched AE when I meant to click on Illustrator, or really any product. Having a button to stop the software from launching after accidentally clicking on it would be great, locate the button on the start-up panel....

Other pen enabled laptops compatibility for adobe fresco
I have a Dell laptop with a pen and I wanted to get adobe fresco. It seems like adobe made it exclusive for surface owners however I wanted to see if I could have access to it. There's little difference between my pen on my laptop and the pen on the surface laptops so I hope it wouldn't be too hard to add.

Illustrator Updates
Every single time I try and update Adobe Illustrator, it gives me an Error Code 145 and does not update. I have to log out of Creative Cloud, restart my computer, log back into Creative Cloud, and try updating again. This is incredibly frustrating since I usually have several other things in the works and I have to close everything down and restart. The explanation I got, "the application processes would have stuck which causes the error." PLEASE FIX THIS!

A hotkey to jump to the first typeable box in properties panel would be great
When something is selected, being able to type cmd-6 in Indesign gets you straight to the first typeable box, and from there it's easy to tab or shift-tab around quickly.
I can't find anything similar in Illustrator, though the properties panel in here is supposed to make life easier.
I work with a lot of hotkeys doing quite repetitive tasks, so being able to utilise this panel in a speedy manner would really speed up my workflow.

Smart Object like in Photoshop
Smart object for illustrator will be a nice feature. Also it will be awesome if both photoshop and illustrator can work with smart object. Currently, photoshop can handle (automatically convert files to smart object when placed, imported, copied in photoshop) vector/raster objects copied from illustrator document. But for some reason, illustrator doesn't have that feature. Would love to see smart objects/group in illustrator.
Thank you Adobe.

Hiperlinks
Right now you must use Acrobat or Indesign to integrate hiperlinks in the file. You can do the 0% opacity trick (putting a hiperlink in 0% opacity on top of the text you want to link) but it's not usable or efficient.
I have so many files that are 90% illustracions, so it's the best for me to use Illustrator, but I would love to include the links in the file, not having to edit it in other softwares afterwards...1 vote -

Distortions for Decurving warped art
You know what I would like Illustrator to have? A way to plugin our actual grid warp information like a wonderful plugin from a few decades ago, called "CurveIt" that was from PCC Packflow (which was acquired by Artwork Systems, which is now "Esko"). It allowed us to plug in a negative value to de-curve using these fields. This would be very helpful for the packaging world where we have to decurve artwork back into a straightened format for redesigning.

Variables issues with images paths
Hi all,
am currently using "Data merge using the Variables panel". The following article does not have enough information for me: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/data-driven-graphics-templates-variables.html
The issue lies with the photos
My photos are not stored locally but in our company's shared google drive folder
So instead of having a link: C:\Photos\BillTucker.jpg this is how an image link would look like: /Volumes/GoogleDrive/My Drive/Automation/scljwhj2uqvn8ajetqhn.png
From the article, I've understood that it can not contain blank spaces. I wanted to know if there was a way around and if other users have had this issue.Thanks in advance

Show linked files from Illustrator files in Bridge
It works for Photoshop and InDesign files, why not for Illustrator ones? All of them are built on the XMP platform.

Idea
Dear Adobe team, I just thought of a potentially awesome business idea, Adobe Instructor or Tutor program, where experts in various Adobe programs are hired to help users learn how to use Adobes programs of their choice! It can be a one-on-one experience that can benefit students or any other users wanting to improve their skills. What are your thoughts?
Sincerely,
An expectantly curious user1 vote -
