Find Replace dialog box to allow access to document for copy paste
When you open the find/replace dialog box you no longer have access to the document so you can copy text. So you have to copy text -> open find/replace box -> paste in find field and click done -> copy the text you want to replace with -> open the dialog box again to paste and then find/replace. In InDesign this is not the case

Able to edit class prefix at export SVG (st0,st1...)
This issue is very common when you import to html two or more svg files and the last svg overwrites the class of the previous svg inserted, due that uses same name of class.
The solve is able to edit a prefix on export options window, that can edit for each file to set an unique prefix to get e.g.: st0, st1 and foo0, foo1 in each.

Connected Arabic letters 'break' on curves
Arabic text on curved paths tend to break, like in the example. The current work around is to either convert the text to outline and fix the breaks, or to create an art brush with the outlined text and adjust, again, manually.
Can this be fixed to allow the text to be on the curved, and editable.

「中央に整列」を実行したときに、座標の平均ではなく選択範囲の中央に揃えたい ／ Align to center of selection instead of average of coordinates when "Align Center" is executed
現在のIllustratorデスクトップ版で「選択範囲に整列」を設定し、複数のオブジェクトを対象に「垂直方向中央に整列」または「水平方向中央に整列」を実行すると、それぞれのオブジェクトの中央の座標を平均した位置で揃います。
一方で、Illustrator iPad版で同じ操作を行うと異なる結果になります。iPad版の「中央に整列」では、座標の平均ではなく、選択範囲（バウンディングボックス）の中央でオブジェクトが揃うしくみです。
自分が確認した限りではPhotoshopやInDesignもこちらの仕様です。- 「選択範囲に整列」というオプションの名称からも、座標の平均で揃うことは推測しにくい
- iPad版のように、選択範囲の中央に揃うほうが直感的でイメージしやすい
- デスクトップ版とiPad版の同じ機能がそれぞれ違う動きをするのは避けるべき
- 選択範囲の中央に揃う仕様はその他のAdobe製品でも採用されている
上記の理由から、Illustratorデスクトップ版でも「中央に整列」では選択範囲の中央に揃える仕様に変更してほしいです。
---------（used the translation tool）---------
In Illustrator on desktop, select multiple objects, and in the "Align to Selection" setting, execute "Vertical ( or Horizontal ) Align Center".
The objects will then be aligned at the average of their respective center coordinates.
However, the same operation in Illustrator on iPad produces a different result. The iPad's "Align Center" aligns the object at the center of the selection (bounding box), rather than at the average of the coordinates.
As far as I have confirmed, Photoshop and InDesign also have this specification.- It is difficult…

Menu bar item “Duplicate with New Document”
The History panel menu has a highly useful feature called “New Document.” As it is versatile, it should be added as a menu item on the menu bar.
Example:
Menu bar “File > Duplicate with New Document”
Japanese
メニューバー項目「新規ドキュメントで複製」
ヒストリーパネルのメニューには、「新規ドキュメント」という非常に便利な機能があります。この機能は汎用性が高いため、メニューバーのメニュー項目として追加するべきです。

Nommage des plans de travail
Dans le menu Objet/Plan de travail, avoir la possibilité d'ajouter les dimensions du plan de travail sélectionné ou de tous les plans de travail.
L'ajout se ferait à la fin du nom ou dans des colonnes additionnelles (Largeur et Hauteur) avec la possibilité d'intégrer ces dimensions dans le nom du fichier exporté. Prévoir une syntaxe compatible avec le nomage des fichier et suffisamment différentiante pour pouvoir les mettre à jour par le biais des expression régulières (Suppression puis ajout des dimensions actualisées).1 vote -
Paramétrage des traits de coupe
Avoir la possibilité de régler les traits de coupe sur 3 paramètres :
- La distance du plan de travail
- la longueur des traits de coupe
- la graisse des traits de coupe.
Aujourd'hui, ils occupent une taille de 2cm soit une augmentation de la largeur et de la longueur de 4cm. Pour de l'impression grand format sur adhésif, cela fin par faire une surface non négligeable.
Idem pour des impositions sur des documents A4 ou^l'on perd facilement une occurence en largeur et en hauteur.
Au cas où les traits de coupes seraient normé pour l'imprimerie, il est toujours…1 vote -
PDF import: Improve gradient parser compatibility
Currently, Illustrator apparently doesn't support all "types" of gradients present in a PDF. When trying to open the attached PDF, an error occurs and the gradient is rasterized.
However, it opens normally in other programs such as Scribus. I thought it was a limitation of the PDF producer (Inkscape), but maybe not. Please, see the discussion: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/9185
Therefore, I ask Adobe to investigate the case and, if it is a limitation of Illustrator, to implement support for this "type" of gradient for better interoperability of the PDF parser.

"Soft Messages" interface in SDK, as alternative to modal dialogs
Can the SDK get an interface for Soft Messages like the "Shape Expanded" message that quietly appears at the top of the screen, then fades away on its own? Sometimes modal dialogs or even floating windows are just way too intrusive to simply pass a message on to the user.
I have managed to pretty much replicate this in one of my own plugins using annotations, but it would be much simpler if a few lines of code could allow any developer and any plugin to call a behavior that already exists in Illustrator.

Replace Image With Symbol
I would like to select any number of images on my document and replace them with a symbol. I would like the symbol to be in the exact same location as the images were and be the exact same size (if the image is clipped by a clipping mask, I would like the symbol to be the size of the clipping mask). I would like the option for the symbol's proportions to be 1) retained and match the height of the images being replaced (in case the image proportions are different), 2) retained and match the width of the images…

Add hotkey (key command) option for panel flyout menus
There are a number of (small) requests for specific items in flyout menus — I’d like to consolidate that, here, into a GENERAL request in the hopes that it will get a larger response. You may not care if Cmd-J (Ctr-J for PC folks) will duplicate a layer as in Photoshop, but maybe you want to be able to create a new swatch with the key press of your choice.
Hotkey users of the world, unite!

Save for Web is disabled
Open both files attached in any Ai version from 26.4.1 to 27, and try to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) for both.
The command will be disabled for the 'bad' and enabled for 'good', although the only rectangle in both is the same.
There is something wrong in the file structure then, but what?Also, the ExportOptionsPNG24 does nothing if a script with it gets run.

LAB Decimal values
Illustrator only supports integer values for LAB. It'd be amazing if there will be support for decimal values for LAB swatches.

データ結合 アクションのバッチ処理の際の変数のデータセット開始位置指定について
アクションのバッチ処理を用いてデータ結合を行う際、
CSVの２行目からデータセット１，データセット２～と読み込まれますが、
行数が数百～数千行ある場合、例えば、「データセット100から200まで」など、
開始位置や行数、範囲を指定してバッチ処理することはできないでしょうか。現在は、CSVファイルを100行ずつ分割して複数作成し、都度、読込みなおすという作業をしていますが、
大変面倒で不便ですので、データセットの範囲を指定できるようにしていただけると助かります。
どうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。1 vote -
The ability to create individual strokes on each side of a rectangular
The ability to create individual strokes on each side of a rectangular. By now I create a fill and transform it into a stroke using the transform effect. Obviously, this is a workaround with its own downsides.

Anchor point sliding (reposition point tool)
It would be nice to have an Anchor Point Slide function that transfers the anchor's position along the path without disturbing it, the same way nodes work in a 3D software. I find it very frustrating when I'm trying to reposition an anchor point without altering the path, but there's no way to do that.

Global Edit does not respect locked objects
When launching global edit an error messages appears warning that there are more than 1000 objects in the document. There are only 800 objects unlocked.
Locking objects used to work in order to work around the limit.
