  1. Make the font selection panel less intrusive by making it editable and moveable

    The font selection panel currently takes up a large portion of the center screen, making it difficult to see the font changes on a large scale. It would be nice if the panel could be editable and moveable, like other panels on Illustrator. Also, it could be positioned on the right side of the screen by default and made slightly transparent, to see through.

  2. Illustrator Share For Review | "Actual Size" Page View

    In share for review, the previews allow the viewer to change the page view to “Fit Window Width” or “Fit Full Page” in the lower-right corner.

    We need an “Actual Size” view setting. It would solve issues such as unwanted enlargement of small designs and checking details on large designs.

    BONUS: The ability to select a default view in our Share For Review settings would be the icing on the cake!

  3. An option to hide the HEX field in Color or make it pop in RGB/HSB only

    Starting version 27.6.1, we are given a permanent HEX field in Color panel, following these two request:
    1. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/38816713-make-the-hex-code-box-visible-for-all-color-modes
    2. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/37009090-show-hex-value-in-swatch-panel

    But some users do not like seeing it all the time and would like to be able to disable it, or at least pop only for RGB and HSB only.

    Please add this option into Color panel’s flyout menu.

  4. 文字プロパティの「さらに検索」の言語表示を改善

    文字プロパティの「さらに検索」で母国語以外の他言語が上位表示される仕様になっている。

    日本ユーザーの場合、韓国語が上位表示されており、利便性に欠けるとともに、ローカライズが出来ていない状態といえる。

    ユーザーの母国語を最優先に表示する仕様に改善すべきと考える。

  5. Bleed option for multi-color object

    Currently if you expand an object with more than one color the paths will overlap where they meet. It would be beneficial if the expanded paths split the difference where they meet to better setup objects with bleed.

  6. Rename updated Move locked and hidden artwork with artboard

    CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option.

    The checkbox in Preferences > Selection and Anchor Display > Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard now also affects whether locked or hidden objects are scaled with the artboard or not.

    I didn't realize this right away. When I tried to scale an artboard with a locked object, I got a warning and thought that the new feature just doesn't know how to scale such objects with an artboard. Only then did I realize that the existing option in the settings affects the function.

    Perhaps the naming of…

  7. Make Polygon tool dialog offer to set a shape by its Side Length

    ¡¡¡¿Por qué pregunta el radio de un octágono?!!! Tendría el programa que calcularlo. Si yo pongo cuántos lados quiero, en donde dice RADIO tendría que dar la opción de la medida de cada LADO, no del radio. Para ello yo tendría que estar haciendo cuentas matemáticas que me atrasan en mi trabajo.

  8. Font stack (like CSS)

    As a user who frequently works with CJK texts, I often encounter challenges in managing fonts for multilingual documents. Currently, setting different fonts for mixed-texts is a cumbersome process.

    When I work with mixed texts, it is common to set CJK texts in one typeface and English text in another, as it is usually the case for many brands. To do so, I have to set the fonts of the text twice (first English, then find all characters whose font is unchanged and set them to the CJK font). Sometimes, if the chosen CJK font has missing characters (“tofu”), I…

  9. An ability to disable Text to Vector Graphic feature and any other generative options

    I'd like to be able to turn off the new feature for "text to vector graphic (beta)" and others like it if possible, or for these to be disabled from the start, with an AI-free build.

  10. A 'snapshot' feature, similar to After Effects

    I use After Effects 'Take snapshot' feature (Shift + F5) all the time. I always go to use it in Illustrator, but it's not here. It would be very handy for referencing changes or states.

  12. Setting scale dimensions for each layer

    Currently, each layer can only be drawn at a scale of 1:1. If it becomes possible to set the scale for each layer, it will be possible to use it in the architectural field. Please consider this.

  13. Artboard instant activation by mouse hover

    Currently you to have select the artboard first by left click inside the area, inorder to apply certain operations.
    Can there be a toggle option to auto select or activate an artboard whenever mouse hover it? we don't need to click every time to make it active. It saves loads of clicks if you have a complex project with multiple artboards.

  15. Print current artboard

    If my file has more than one artboard and I want to print the selected artboard, I have to press (shift + o) to see number of the artboard, then (Ctrl + P) then I have to write the number of the artboard I want to print.
    This actually so boring especially if my file work requires to print a lot.
    Please if you add an option to print dialog which is (print current artboard) that will help a lot.
    Thank you

  17. Predictive text and optional ai copy adapted to text box design sizes

    I would like to have predictive text, while I write it can complete the word like it happens in my phone.
    Also once you have my copy done, have a menu to have other copy options, translations and changes of copy adapted to cover more or less space in my design.

  18. Copy layer from one document to another with effects / appearance

    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to copy-paste a layer from one file to another, including the layer’s effects / appearance?

    Or to have an option to Duplicate a Layer into another file (like in Photoshop).

  19. Add more modifier keys for Control bar to show alternate color UI

    Currently the behavior of the Color UI in Properties is broken:
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48691379

    Clicking the swatch drop down opens the different swatch color options.
    Please update with these shortcut key options:
    Shift + clicking the swatch drop down opens the Color Mixer options.
    Option + clicking the swatch drop down opens the gradient options.
    Command + clicking the swatch drop down opens the pattern options.

  20. Allow to hold Shift to force Aligned (orthogonal) Dimensions

    Ai now tries to smartly detect a relative position of the cursor to a dimension being created and choose if it should be parallel or oblique.

    This sound like a smart solution, but in practice is SUCKS.

    Take a look at this small GIF.
    1. The dimension between two objects is live, and responds to the object being moved up and down fine
    2. But if I choose to move it to the right, it says 'hey, I am a dimension between two points, I’m switching to be slanted'
    3. OK, I delete it and try to create anew. STRUGGLING,…
