1. Can you add the option to make a multipage pdf from the variable dataset export? Needed for compatibility with printing software

   Currently when exporting vardatasets, you get a single page pdf per dataset.
   When making stickers some printing software cannot apply printing and contour cutting on multiple images.
   I would be nice if the datasets can export a multipage pdf, or if an action can be made that creates artboards from datasets instead of exporting.

2. Save Default Swatches from Swatches Palette

   This is a struggle ever since. In the latest release, when creating an RGB document, I get tons of CMYK Swatches in the swatches palette. Why?

   Please make it easy to save Default Swatches for each color mode, preferably from within the Swatches Palette.

   Please don't suggest saving a Template, since that does not work due to privilege settings.

3. Freeform gradient points copying with Alt+drag

   Ai does not apply the Alt+drag paradigm to color stops of freeform gradients. No duplication happens!
   We can workaround this, clicking the stop first, and then clicking in a free spot... But this is not OK, because this approach is not used anywhere else in Ai.
   You can have it kept, but add Alt+drag to copy stops.

4. Ask to update links... for current document

   I remember now why I turned off ask user to update links... because it comes up for documents that are open but not being worked on. Can you fix it so it only asks when you go to that document?

   Here's an example: I'm working on multiple concepts that are placed as links into a presentation document. Each concept, and the presentation doc are open. When I make a change to one of the concept docs, the dialog box to update the links pops up. 1. it doesn't tell me what document has the updated links. 2. it won't let me go to that document without dismissing it. and 3. it's not the active document that has the updated links.

   I hope you can see how ask before updating is sort of broken.

5. Give Pattern swatch an indicator icon in the Swatches panel

   An often made mistake is that users drag a rectangle, filled with a color to the swatches panel, thinking that they added a new color swatch. In reality they created a pattern. Looking at the Swatches panel it is sometimes difficult to see the difference. In the attached example it is impossible to see which of the two green swatches is a color swatch or a pattern swatch. It would be good to have an indicator for pattern swatches, like spot or global color swatches. This is important when users want to to create a new pattern, fill parts of the design with a pattern swatch (thinking it is a color swatch) and get the message that patterns cannot be used in a pattern.

6. Voice Over Accessibility UX - When the cursor hovers over Tool Tips and Labels etc, speak the text.

   Voice Over Accessibility UX - When the cursor hovers over Tool Tips and Labels etc, speak the text. This is a basic web accessibility feature not included in CC suite. I have used the Adobe software for more than 20 years but with macular degeneration it is difficult for me to read small texts. Tell your colleagues at PhotoShop and InDesign about this.

8. Copy images from the web and paste them directly in Illustrator

   Please, guys, let us copy images from the web or our OS and paste them directly into Illustrator as Figma does.

   In general...can you look at everything that Figma does when it comes to UX and take inspiration from there? I think there's a lot of room for improvement when it comes to UX in Adobe products :D

   Thanks in advance!

10. Hitting Escape while creating a shape, an artboard, while using Rotate, Scale, etc., doesn't cancel the process

    When we marquee a selection and hit Escape — it gets canceled.
    When we hit Escape while dragging out a guide — it gets canceled.
    Dragging out a brush on the canvas — works.
    Dragging out a swatch to drop it on a gradient or the canvas — works.
    Dragging the appearance form the Appearance panel — works.

11. Stop creating extra anchors

    Using tools like the join tool, shaper tool and some pathfinder tools, creates more anchors than were originally in the elements that are being joined using the tools mentioned. This degrades my lines and sometimes turns corner anchors into curved or moves the anchors all together when creating more. I have spent a lot of time having to go back and fix these issues. Most of the time you can't see it until well after you have saved and have to rely keeping extra backups of your work to ensure you aren't losing details. Extra anchors creates more data to save, downgrades my artwork and creates longer cut times with a vinyl plotter. If I want anchors in a line segment, path, or compound path, ill put it there myself, or use the adequate tool to alter the number of anchors.

12. Package/collect multiple illustrator files at once for sending to printers like "Art Files 3" does.

    We currently use Art Files 3 to package multiple ai files at once without having to individually open the illustrator files. With the new Illustrator 2023, Art Files 3 is no longer compatible and they also seem to be out of business. We send anywhere from 3-20 files at once on a regular basis. Working with multiple artboards in one file is not an option. We need to find a subsitute app or a solution that can package miltiple files, fonts and images (both embedded and linked) all at once like Art Files.. We can't use the AI package feature as it requires opening and packging one file at a time and doesn't not package embedded files.

13. Convert expanded strokes back to live strokes (unexpand / unoutline strokes) / Find centerlines

    So far there is no way to de-expand strokes back to live strokes.

    The suggested practice is to cut the shape in pieces and blend pairs with 1-step blends, expand and join manually — a tedious solution. We have to keep strokes alive as long as possible if we plan to edit them after. The effects we can use to make an art non-destructive are quite limited.

    We now have cool Reform plugin by AstuteGraphics that allows to edit expanded strokes in a different way, but is does not solve the original problem and only helps to workaround and offers fluidity other tools don’t have... it can’t resurrect strokes.

    Other solutions, in other apps, try to trace instead of reconstruct, and results are pretty poor most of the time.

14. Separate the Icons for stroke and fill.

    Why does the adobe illustrator swatch palette overlap the stroke and fill? Why would they not separate this so we dont have to pick so carefully to access the color we want? What is the point of this? Is there some option to change the appearance of the swatch palette? I find this cumbersome and unnecessary.

15. Some way to control the mesh density of generated 3D objects?

    I'm using Illustrator to turn some 2D drawings into 3D objects which I export as OBJ/GLTF to other software. The process is really quick and simple, and produces very smooth and clean mesh objects, however... I'm having trouble with the total lack of control over the geometry density/resolution of the generated 3D model.
    I've experimented with increasing the number of anchor points and size of the drawing to see if I would get a 3D model made of more polygons and vertices, but had no success.
    It would be amazing if there was a proper way to control the generated 3D mesh density. For instance, maybe a dropdown next to a Mesh Density input with a High, Medium and Low option (using the current built-in mesh density as a Medium position)? Thanks.

16. Make the option 'Select and unlock objects on canvas' available for default!!

    I love when this option was available in some version of Illustrator but magically disappear in one update, I thought that you discard this option, but if I wasn't here I never realize that I have to enable manually this option on the Preferences panel.

    I was angry because it was available on InDesign but not in Illustrator, fortunately I research a little and found the response to one request like mine in this section.
