2. Improve Trim Mark Settings When Exporting PDFs

   Posted using Illustrator 2025 (29.4)

   In the Japanese printing industry, it is common practice to require both corner crop marks and center crop marks when exporting PDFs.

   Currently, in Illustrator’s PDF export settings, enabling the “Trim Marks” option only adds corner marks. To include center crop marks, users must also check the “Registration Marks” option, which results in registration marks being added as well.

   However, these registration marks are generally disliked and considered unnecessary in Japanese print workflows. There needs to be an option to add only corner and center crop marks without registration marks.

   InDesign allows users to configure “inner crop marks,” “outer crop marks,” and “center crop marks” individually, offering much greater flexibility. We strongly request that Illustrator provide similar options for more precise control over crop marks when exporting PDFs.

   PDF書き出し時のトンボ設定を改善してほしい

   投稿時のバージョン：Illustrator 2025 (29.4)

   日本の印刷現場では、PDF書き出し時に「角トンボ」と「センタートンボ」の両方が必要とされることが一般的です。

   しかし、現在のIllustratorのPDF書き出し設定では、「トンボ」にチェックを入れると角トンボのみが追加されます。センタートンボを付けるためには「レジストレーションマーク」にチェックを入れる必要があり、レジストレーションマークも同時に追加されてしまいます。

   日本ではこのレジストレーションマークが好まれないため、実務では使いにくいのが現状です。角トンボとセンタートンボのみを、レジストレーションマークなしで追加できる設定が必要です。

   InDesignでは「内トンボ」「外トンボ」「センタートンボ」を個別に設定できるため、Illustratorにも同様の柔軟な設定が導入されることを強く希望します。

3. File > Adobe PDF Presets menu, to have even faster PDF export options

   Starting with build 28.6, we can now Export As PDF (thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32841790)

   This works alongside with a pervious lesser known method: Save a Copy, as PDF.

   However, exporting a PDF copy to make a quick 'snapshot' still feels slow — we get a dialog and have to choose a preset we want to use.

   Meanwhile InDesign offers a handy configurable menu that allows to skip format options and go with a chosen preset, like the attached screenshot shows.

   Please make a similar menu.

4. Please allow currentColor for SVG export

   Using SVG in web development frequently requires manual editing of the svg code, to use currentColor instead of a fixed fill or stroke colour.

5. Issue with Hidden Layers Exporting in PNG Format

   Hello. I am experiencing an issue with Illustrator when exporting my files to PNG format using artboards. Specifically, the exported PNG includes layers that are hidden and not displayed on the screen at the time of export. This issue does not occur when I export all the artwork or only selected artworks.

   Here are the details:

   Software Version: 29.3.1
   Operating System: Windows 11 24H2
   Steps to Reproduce:
   Open the Illustrator file.
   Hide certain layers.
   Export the file to PNG format using artboard and have transparent background.
   Check the exported PNG file.
   Despite hiding the layers before exporting, they still appear in the final PNG. This issue is affecting my workflow and the accuracy of my exported files.

   Could you please investigate this issue and provide a solution or workaround? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you for your support!

6. Please revert to data recovery files being saved as .ai files instead of .aishm files that can't be opened.

   Have the data recovery files save as .ai files that you can actually open and work on, rather than .aishm files that are unopenable.

   What's the use of data recovery files that you can't open?

7. Please please please repair the Template system

   Saving my own Template is still a pain, since the folder where those are stored needs extra privileges, which can't be given from within the Save Template dialog.
   Please, rework this Template save / load system, and make it fail proof and rock solid.

   This is how it should work in 2025:
   -Save Template.
   -Give Name
   -Done

8. Issue with Saving Group Hierarchy in SVG Export

   I am experiencing an issue where the group hierarchy is not being preserved when exporting or saving files in SVG format. No matter which variant I try, the user-defined hierarchy from the original file is lost in the SVG output.

   Attached is a screenshot comparing the results of exports from different versions of the software, highlighting the issue. Despite trying multiple approaches, I have not found a way to save the groups as they appear in the original file.

9. Bring in PDF's without changing the formatting

   PDF's, sometimes, when brought in, NOT as an image, but embedded, changes font style widths, etc. This was another issue for me, with a client who built their file in ID and saved as a PDF and I brought it in and embedded it. I did not catch it, but it's clearly changed. I have the font, so that was not an issue, it just change the "BOLD" to "REGULAR". Picture attached shows the "original" PDF as a pic on the right. I have it at 50% opacity as I was comparing.

10. Local saves with Version control

    We need an option to create a project file that cannot be saved over. The reason for this is that when working with a client who has many options, we sometimes need to step back in time or recover older versions from unexpected changes.

    Similar to an Illustrator template file (.ait), we could have a format like .aiv or .aivi. This way, when I save flyer.aiv, every save will generate a backup file flyer-250204817.ai next to the current file.

    It would also be useful to have an option in a settings pane to save a backup every other save and retain backups for a maximum of three days or up to ten saves. Whatever option we choose should control the local .aiv file.

    I do store files on my local nas server, where every save gets a snapshot. However, when working on my local system (laptop), I don’t have that function, nor do I always have Wi-Fi. This means working in Adobe Cloud is not an option.
    Please provide an option so we do not loose our work or we have the option to recover from edits we desided were not what we want.

    Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    It turns out some application added '.2' as a file type, and Ai had to comply with it when auto-completing file names in OS-managed dialog.

    Follow the solution in the comments if you have a similar problem.

12. Add an option to open the folder with exported images that stays for some time on scree

    I think it would be great if we could see a "View on Computer" or "Go to Folder" option on the screen, floating in the middle of nearly 5-7 seconds. So if we have to use it immediately we can go there with no effort... I'm writing it for Asset Export but I think this feature should be it for any save and export option on every Adobe software.

13. Make Revert operation into a History step we can undo

    Shielding Revert this with a confirmation does NOT work.
    Having confirmations is a bad UX solution, and it’s known now — it seems like only Adobe is not aware.
    People don’t read these, and either learn to not notice these or to skip these.

    What apps should do instead is to allow a mistake, but then giving a chance to Undo it.
    Like modern email clients now do — you can undo sending an email, because there is a hidden delay.

    Photoshop does NOT have a confirmation, but it allows us to UNDO the Revert, unlike other apps.

14. File sync with Synology drive buggy

    When I'm saving an Illustrator doc to a Synology Drive folder it almost always says, that the file has been changed outside of Illustrator which it hasn't. Finally after saving and closing it, it hasn't synced with the Synology NAS and I have to manually tell it to upload.

    This only happens with Illustrator and Illustrator files. All other programs handle it well. It's seems that there is a proplem with Illustrator and the file provider API from Apple, judging on reports from others with different file provider services.

16. Allow Illustrator to remain in native file mode after saving to PDF

    Currently, saving a PDF from Illustrator keeps the saved PDF open in Illustrator. If you edit the file that is still open, you're editing the PDF and not the native Illustrator file. It is difficult to see that you're working in PDF other than just remembering that Illustrator does this (when other Adobe apps do not), and/or to look at the extension on the file tab.

    Feature request is to change this function so that Illustrator remains open in the same Illustrator file format instead of switching to working in the saved PDF via Illustrator. This would be similar to InDesign's function of saving PDF, where saving a PDF just saves a PDF copy out of InDesign, and you remain in the native InDesign file. Thanks!

20. Make 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option be always disabled for PDFs made with Export As but always enabled for Save As

    We now got a way to Export a PDF, rather than Save a Copy, thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32841790

    However, these methods don’t really differ from each other, and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' is still a thing for these exported PDF, bloating the size twice and leaving a way for these to be editable.

    I want this option to be disabled and unchecked for Export as PDF — announced loudly and clearly.

    And if Save As method is chosen — this 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option should be locked as enabled.
