1. Display 'Save' in those History steps which were followed by saving, as Photoshop does it

   It can be hard to navigate History, and when we do, we often need to see specific points of it.
   Save operations are important turning points, and seeing 'Save' added to those operations that happened right before saving happened works great... in Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Please add these.

2. Editable text in dimensions

   Please let designer edit the text inside the dimensions. Sometimes for mockup purpose is not possible to set a proper scale and if you place a dimension obviously the size has to be changed. Now you need to expand the aspect to let the text be editable. It would be great if the text can be editable by default.
   There is no worries for people with right scales since the value will be correct, but it will be a smart edit for others who have to change it.

3. Global Edit should allow searching within current and chosen artboards

   Global Edit have some options to limit searching with artboards and/or canvas... but the choices are rather odd: Portrait, Landscape, Square and All.

   It’s strange though we can’t limit it to the current artboard... or some chosen artboards, even though today the selection of artboards on canvas is allowed within the scope of the Artboard tool — but I’ll take the field to put numbers, or selecting artboards in the Artboards panel!

   Select > Same and Select > Object commands don’t have these options at all. Must have — here’s the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35752063

5. Add a Color Picker button in the Recolor Artwork dialog

   I would request the team to consider it, kindly add a Color Picker button in the Recolor Artwork dialog, as it is essential — every time colors cannot be added into library. A color picker helps when designing with a self made color group.

6. Automatically reset the ruler to zero when clicking on a different artboard

   Sorry, this feature request should just be as standard.

   If I have 5 artboards and I click on artboard 4, I don't know why the ruler doesn't automatically default to zero. Instead I have to double click the corner of the ruler to reset it to that artboard.

   Surely working on separate artboards, require separate ruler zero placements.

   This should be the default, with an option to set the ruler to zero on the first artboard, in case each artboard is making up one big picture, then it makes sense for all artboards to share one ruler zero setting.

   I personally want to click on an artboard and the ruler defaultts to zero on THAT artboard. Then I click on another artboard and that defaults to zero. You could even have rulers for each board.

   Please add this. :-)

8. Add Axis Constraints, to restrict transformations to a chosen axis

   Some 3D editors allow to limit moving to a chosen axis/axes.
   3DS Max has a dedicated floating panel with buttons, and Blender allows to hold a key to force it: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/object/editing/transform/control/axis_locking.html

   In Ai we can hold Shift, but the axis chosen depends on the position of the cursor, and it’s not the same.
   Please make it possible to use X/Y keys (similar to the recent E key for Enclosed selection Mode) to actually choose a preferred axis. Perhaps Z can be used for 45°? :)

9. Illustrator and Photoshop show fractional CMYK color values differently

   I have a CMYK document, and it has a linked image in it, with an intentionally chosen profile, with some specific colors set for the background, and these have to be the part of the background, because of blending modes used.
   Now I need to grab those colors form the clear parts of the background to quickly transfer them into vector part of the design. But when I try — Ai lies about values.

   Instead of
   70-15-0-0
   0-35-85-0
   0-95-20-0
   I get
   69.8-14.9-0-0
   0-34.9-85.1-0
   0-94.9-20-0

   Not much, right? Just 0.2%, why are you mad?
   But these would be enough to break Select Same Fill later, duplicate swatches if added next to existing ones in other documents, drop my trust level for the tool and force me cleaning this mess in the time I need I can’t spend. Sure, there are methods to help with this, but it’s not MY error. It’s Ai’s lie.

   ...later Ton Frederiks suggested it’s Photoshop that is rounding numbers.
   To quote: if the placed file gets rasterized, it gives the fractions in Illustrator. But if the file gets exported from Illustrator as .tif, Photoshop will show the same rounded numbers it started with. Photoshop will not allow fractions and force round numbers when we try to enter percentages like 69,8%. CMYK values go from 0-100 while image values have a range from 0-255.

   Indeed, I tried to rasterize a rectangle with fractions in CMYK color (55.69) and opened the image in Photoshop — and got integers, 56...
   But then I mix the very same color in Ps, making integers manually, fill half of the image with this new color and try to pick colors from this image in Ai: Ai still picks the original 55.69 from the original half of the image... and 56.08 from the half I flooded with Ps’s 56!
   And Ps SEES them as different color when Color Picker is used, displaying different Lab, RGB, HSB values, but CMYK stays the same, rounded.

   In my experiment below I did a similar thing: created these in Ai first (but no fractions), rasterized it, used to make a composition and placed back into Ai.
   Double conversion and forcing integers (visually) would explain it.

   So Ai is rather precise... but the irritation stays.
   Now the question would be — what to do with the uncomfortable truth? 'Fighting ignorance' is my favorite choice, but...

   I don’t have a clear solution to this — and I invite others to a discussion — but perhaps the Eyedropper can get an option to Emulate Photoshop Eyedropper (round CMYK values)?

10. Guides menu box

    I use guides on all projects, I open a new artboard, hit cmd+r for the rulers to appear and then draw a square that I want my margins to be, hit align left/top pull a guide line down for horizontal and vertical then align to right/bottom an do the same, this gives me my margins... can we get a popup window that just lets us type in values, like the bleeds but for margins, plus central horizontal and vertical guides tick boxes and columns/row margins etc. Would be great to save these as presets, so I can open a doc, click 10mm and it's all done from what I've saved. Cheers.

11. Allow editing of text content in dynamic symbol instances

    When creating dynamic symbols, there can be some changes to individual instances, however, the text content is static. If you need multiple instances of the same symbol, but with different text content, the only way to achieve that is to break the symbol link before editing; future style updates to the symbol will not be inherited. Sometimes the intended behaviour can be achieved through Character or Paragraph Styles, but if the symbol also includes non-text objects, that is no longer an option.

    It would be great if text content for instances of dynamic symbols could be changed dynamically.

    Sample use cases might be illustrations of maps, board games, calendars, instruction manuals; anything that requires a lot of individual short text instances with consistent iconography or styling.

13. 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.

14. Thumbnails in Layers always show full previews even when outline mode for the layer is toggled

    This is relatively new within recent Ai upgrades.

    Can we please revert back to preview mode ONLY for layer thumbnails regardless of how we view the layer on the artboard. This was changed recently. Why? If you choose to make changes like this, please make it an optional preference, as long time users probably don't like these changes.

16. グループ化されたオブジェクトのキーオブジェクトへの整列とレイヤーを保ったグループ化

    １．説明
    背景が透明の画像を配置して他のオブジェクトもレイアウト進めて、それらをいくつか並べたデザインの時に、画像をマスクしていないけど、例えば四角の枠線で揃えたい時に整列が出来ない。

    そもそも揃えたければ、揃えられるように制作するべきなのでしょうが、中心が揃っていないのでうまく整列が出来ないのでマスクするなどしてという作業の代わりに、四角を選択範囲に保存しておき、それをキーオブジェクトにして揃えるとか何かうまく出来ないでしょうか。

    さらに、「レイヤーを保ったままグループ化」は出来ないでしょうか。整列の際にグループ化したいけどレイヤーの都合でグループ化したくない時はどうすればいいでしょうか。

    そもそも「マスクのオフセット機能」なるものがあれば、「マスクをした後に+3mmとかのオフセットを入れると塗り足し拡張出来る」という感じであれば、また別のケースで整列の問題が簡便になり、前述の機能を使わなくなるとも思います。

    ２．メリット
    整列が便利になる。
    マスクがフレキシブルになる。

17. Set Custom Scale based on artwork for Engineering Plans Measurements

    I need to add measurements for lighting layouts, outlets, smoke detectors and fans on electric plans. The current measurement tool has a custom option but it's difficult to figure out the scale when it's 1:98 or 1:49. Trial and error gets frustrating and it's not always 100% correct.

    **I need a way I could calibrate a custom scale like in CAD/Bluebeam. So, clicking two points and telling Illustrator that space between equals 4ft so it sets the scale for me. This would be more efficient. **

    I know there are other programs I could do this in but I don't have access to them at my job. We use illustrator for mostly everything in my department.

18. Dimension Tool option that creates appropriate size lines, arrows, text, based on the art measured

    I work within a wide range of sizes, from very small to very large. 9 times out of 10 I'll go to use the dimension tool and find that the lines, arrows, text, etc. are far too large or small. I'll then go through the tedious process of deleting the dimensions, taking a wild guess that the new input sizes will do the trick, and try again. I like all the detailed controls and don't wish for them to go away, but I'd love the option for a more intuitive sizing result based upon whatever I'm measuring. for example, if I'm measuring a five inch shape, it should know not to use a 12 pt or 120 pt font, but something more fitting, like 40 pt. Maybe there could be a checkbox within the setting for "intuitive sizing".

20. 29.7.1 macOS - PDF Export- Critical Parser failure: Unknown character in content stream

    In the macOS version of Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1, there is indeed a critical bug. When exporting files containing a large amount of text that has been converted to outlines, the resulting PDF file becomes corrupted.

    To verify the issue, please follow the steps below using the attached file:
    1. Launch Adobe Illustrator on macOS (I use Sequoia 15.6)
    2. Open the attached .ai file
    3. Export the file as a PDF using the “High Quality Print” preset

    Result: The exported PDF will appear corrupted, just like the attached example. Furthermore, when attempting to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, the following error is displayed:
