Batch File Processing to PDF (Non-Illustrator Default Like PDF-x4)
In Photoshop, you have the option to File > Scripts > Image Processor — from there, you can then take a PSD File and batch through a folder of files and change them to a JPEG, PSD, or TIFF while simultaneously running an action through them.
I propose that we introduce something like photoshops Image Processor where in illustrator you can select File > Scripts > File Processor where you have the option to change an entire folder of AI files into PDF's, SVG's, or EPS's.
Once you click "Run" (like you would in photoshop) it would batch through an…

Share "Typequest" cache with Adobe applications.
Illustrator CC 2019 and InDesign CC 2019 generate "Typequest" caches in separate folders by Visual Font Browsing, but occupy the disk because each cache size is large.
For Japanese, the font data becomes very large.
In the future, it is not practical to generate caches individually for other applications, so caches should be shared by applications.(Translated to Japanese)
Illustrator CC 2019 と InDesign CC 2019 は、ビジュアルフォント表示の ”Typequest" キャッシュを個別に作成しますが、このキャッシュサイズがとても大きく、ディスクを圧迫します。
日本語の場合、フォントデータがとても大きくなります。
今後、このキャッシュを Adobe アプリ全体で共通利用させ、個別に作成しないようにしてほしい。12 votes -
CID/GID (Character ID/Glyph ID) are displayed in Glyphs panel.
In the case of Japanese, there are many variations of Chinese character, so it is useful to know CID/GID.
Because it does not make a mistake when designing character. Also, I want CID/GID when using many old characters.
A common UI with InDesign is desirable.(Translated to Japanese)
字形パネルにグリフのCID/GIDを表示して欲しい。
日本語の場合、漢字のバリエーションが多いので、IDがわかると便利です。
作字の時などに間違いないようにしたり、また、旧字を多数使用のする時に CID/GID を表示してほしいです。 InDesign と UI を揃えて欲しいです。13 votes -

Enclose Meta to png saved for web
Please enable to add meta data to png saved for web out of AI. It is not a practible way to open AI in Photoshop and export there a png with meta data. If you create images, e.g. for a website this extra work cause additional steps and waste precious time!
I learnd that this was possible in older versions of AI, but since years this option is missing!3 votes -
Export / Save As Multiple formats on the export screen
After selecting the export or save as, the normal dialog box would open and include a check box for multiple formats (ai, pdf, jpeg, etc.).

Prevent Pen and Pencil tools from auto-connecting when a modifier is pressed
Sometimes I want to draw a new path WITHOUT connecting it to existing one (and without locking artwork). I'd like to have a modifier key that will temporarily disable auto-connecting.

Allow Artboards to snap to the grid
I'm working on a heavily modular layout and the modules are snapping to the grid nicely. However when duplicating the artboard, the artboard will not snap to the grid.
This therefore throws the modules slightly off the grid as the Artboard position has to be matched by eye.
I've also downloaded and tried the CC 2019 pre-release and it still does not allow snapping of artboards to the grid.
Please fix this, thanks.
26 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.3.0 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Transparency Masks should appear in layers panel like Clipping Masks
I like how Clipping Masks show up in the Layers panel as a "<Clip Group>", which you can expand to see the object being used as the mask and the object being masked. However, Transparency Masks do not show up at all in the Layers panel; you have to remember to open up the Transparency panel to see and interact with them. In a document with a mix of Clipping Masks and Transparency Masks, this is really confusing and makes the Transparency Masks easy to forget about. You should make the Transparency Mask show up in the Layers panel like…

Ink Coverage tool
Please add Ink Coverage Tool similar to one in Esko ArtPro plus, with ability to print a report. It's very important for printing houses to keep track of ink consumption and that tool would make great addition to AI, thus eliminating need for additional software.

FXG
Please bring back FXG.
SVG is no solution for coworking with complex files in Flash and Illustrator.
Since years i've installed old cs6 version of Flash and Illustrator only for the FXG export / import.

Please increase the number of fonts in ”Recent Fonts” option
I work with two different typeface families in daily base (since 1987 when I start with Illustrator). In preferences maximum value of recent fonts is 15. That is a half amount of what I need. Is it possible to increase that value to 30?

make one layer from more layers like in photoshop
Hello, I would really like it if different layers could be used to create one layer, just like in photoshop.
(so if you work with a lot of layers, and you repeat the design on the same page, or want to create a pattern, this doesn't work)
I very much hope that this will be possible in the future1 voteYou can do that using Layers panel’s menu (a hamburger icon in top right corner). Select layers you need and choose one of three available commands: Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer.
Also, you can operate with a selection of object on canvas. Select object you need there, focus a layer you want you objects to be in and apply Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer.
Finally you can drag a square marker of a selected objects in Layers to another layer to move them.
Please comment on how it works for you.

Make 'Recent fonts' section in Character palette work alongside with selecting current font in font list
Recently AI made focus in font list in Character palette jump to the top of the list, in 'Recent fonts' part, thus making impossible to browse fonts in alphabetical order — you have to scroll font list manually to position.
This is stupid.
In 22.1.0 this request has been realized:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32044567-option-to-disable-recent-fonts-featureNow user can set '0' in Preferences to completely eliminate 'Recent' section in font list — and this magically 'fixes' selection of current font in context.
This is stupid.
I personally want to use BOTH 'Recent fonts' AND current font focusing.
I don't care about it won't be selected…132 votesThe latest Beta Build 29.6.91 introduces first changes to the way how recent font section works. Now Ai tries to find the position of the currently chosen font in the main list.
There are several known issues.
- If you deselect a text and select it again — Ai will still jump to the recent section’s font when we open the dropdown
- The recent section is not fixed and gets scrolled while navigating the list, making the access to recent fonts harder that it is now in the General build
Please try to test it and leave comments.

Show the angle between two paths when dragging anchors
A new feature I'd like to see is a Smart Guides tool tip which shows the angle that is created between two paths, when manually dragging an anchor.
There could be the option of...
1. ... always displaying the relative angle.
2. ...only displaying the tool tip of common angles, such as 15, 30, 45, 60 degrees.In the attached mock-up, the bottom right-hand anchor of a square is being dragged to the right. The angle that is created relative to the top of the square displays as a tooltip, in this instance 33 degrees.

矢印ツールとは別に「移動モード」を。
オブジェクト選択後、特定のキーを押すことで「移動モード」に移行するようにしてほしい。
複数のオブジェクトを選択し、それらを同時に移動させようとした場合、任意のオブジェクトを全て選択した後、最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを正確にクリックしてドラッグする流れになるが、この最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを選択する際に誤ってオブジェクト以外をクリックしてしまうと、今までのShiftを押しながら沢山選択してきた作業が水の泡になる。
移動モードに移行すると、選択したオブジェクト以外を選択しても選択が解除されることはなく、心ゆくまで正確に移動を行った後、決定ボタンなりダブルクリックなりで移動モードは解除される。
現在の編集モードの選択したオブジェクト限定版という動きにしても良いかもしれない。
選択したオブジェクトの精密な移動方法としてこの「移動モード」の実装を強く要望します。
