1. Confusing migration confirmation dialogue box

   Please fix the confusing migration confirmation dialogue box (popup), which is is needlessly unclear and needs revision. It asks a yes-or-no type question and provides a very clear negative option for a response. However, it provides two options for a positive response (I think), but which are bewildering. Each button just shows a version identifier: 29.7.2, 29.7.1, etc. Is this the new version and the version I was using last? Is this two versions where settings were detected? What version am I using when I see this? (Hmmm. I don't know. I can't check without answering first.) What happens when I select either version?

2. Window > Arrange > Swap

   If you have two documents open and you enable "Window > Arrange > Tile" you get both windows side by side.

   By default you get the first-opened document on the left and the second on the right.

   "Swap" function would exchange positions of the windows.

   In order to do this without Swap, I have to do a manual tab shuffle to make this work and it's not as easy as it seems.

3. Add Next / Previous buttons in Layer Options dialog

   Sometimes I need to change several colors for a bunch of layers.
   To do this, I have to double-click one in Layers, pick a color, close the dialog, double-click the next one... why exiting the dialog at all? I should be able to cycle them directly within it.

4. Allow Figma-like zoom in and out on Mac with holding Cmd and moving 2 fingers instead of pinching

   On a Mac to zoom in and out in Illustrator when no external mouse is connected we need to pinch together our fingers. That sucks and fingers hurt over time. In Figma I can just press Command and then move 2 fingers together (no uncomfortable pinching needed) to zoom in and out very quickly and precisely.

   Illustrator NEEDS this as well!
   It's what I do all day long and it sucks really.

5. Better Interface for Document Setup / Artboard properties

   When working with only one Artboard (in my case: 99% of my projects), it feels very uncomfortable to change the size via Document Setup - this shows a button 'Edit Artboards'. Clicking that button doesn't give any feedback to the user. We still have to find and click 'Properties'. Three clicks for such a fundamentals task. My requests:
   1. Please integrate the Artboard size of a single Artboard document directly in the Document Setup panel.
   2. When clicking 'Edit Artboards', open or bring to front the Properties panel.
   3. Add a list or dropdown of existing Artboards in the Document Setup panel

6. Overset Text Warning on Outline

   Outlining a textbox which contains overset text should trigger an alert.
   This would help to avoid inadvertent loss of that overset text.
   The alert could include [Cancel] and [Ignore / Continue] buttons.

   Below is a link to a suggested function which would help the user find and resolve any overset text:

7. Scale hidden objects within a group.

   Objects in a group that are hidden should scale along with the rest of the group, like they do in Photoshop. (Or it should at least be an option alongside the "scale strokes & effects" option.)

   It makes absolutely no sense for them to be left behind.

   Construction lines & other elements that form part of a build (but are usually hidden) cannot always be grouped separately in order to make their management easier. Sometimes there are many, many elements interspersed amongst a build that need to remain there but to have them switched on can make scaling & positioning something like a logo incredibly difficult & time consuming.

   There are workarounds, of course, but that's not a solution, it's a temporary fix. Side-step the mess & you've worked around it but look behind you & the mess is still there, ready for the next person to step in.

   The behavior differs on how the objects get hidden and selected. Jump into comments for the explanation if something like this happens for you.

8. Configurable Trim Marks

   TL/DR: It would be incredibly helpful and relatively simple for AI's developers to let users configure the parameters of auto-generated trim marks.

   ---

   I've been using AI for three decades and somehow, even though I have been doing this the hard way that entire time, it never dawned on me until today to request this: configurable Trim Marks, both in Object: Create Trim Marks and Effect: Trim Marks. This is similar to the following request except that that one doesn't include the why that I feel is important:
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/41926273-set-the-size-and-offset-of-effect-crop-marks-whi

   AI specifically creates trim marks in one very specific way: .5" .3pt lines that are .25" from the boundary of the selected element. That's fine for typical press output and "good enough" for most home/in-office usage, but far from great. That combined distance of .75" is pretty significant overkill for anyone printing a lot of small to-be-cut items on a single printed page (i.e., small designed pieces on a 13x19 sheet), forcing someone who wants to maximize their usage of the media and knows they only need very small marks/offsets for that purpose. When that person is me, for example, I will typically cut the marks down to .15" long with a .07" offset, vastly shrinking the footprint of the combined object.

   A great set of configurable parameters would be:
   - trim mark length
   - trim mark offset
   - trim mark stroke weight
   - save/edit/delete presets (including Default, which would be what you currently have)

   Thanks for your time!

11. A key to reverse "object selection by path only" while using selection tools.

    Mostly I like to work with this setting off but there are times when it would really be nice to turn it on by holding down a key while clicking in the middle of a path.

    I don't know what key to suggest, command swaps selection for direct selection (and vice-versa), alt widens the selection of the direct selection tool and does nothing for selection, shift adds to/subtracts fom the selection. Maybe `?

    On Export to PDF, for "Page information" - Include the Artboard Name, not just the page number. Also let us edit the label placement.

    Basically, I want to be able to call my artboards something like "Pane A1" - "Panel A2" - etc...

    Right now, if I have a multi panel project, I have to manually place panel labels in all corners of a layout. But where bleeds overlap, I can't place labels, because that label would appear in the print field of the other panel...

    Also, the offset of the "page information" should be editable, or default to the edge of the bleed area, definitely NOT at the edge of the visual / trim area.

13. Rescale Recolor Window

    It would be awesome if it was possible to rescale the Recolor Window or even the smooth & segmented color wheels on the Edit tab of the Recolor Window.

    With the size now, it's difficult to control changes without changing each color individually in the Assign tab because of how small the color wheels are on the Edit tab. This challenge becomes worse when an illustration has more colors, especially when individual colors' small circles overlap with the bigger selection's circle.

    Being able to rescale the Recolor Window or the color wheels would help users better tweak their illustrations (especially near the end!)

14. Allow to set custom default layer colors, with options

    In 2017 we asked to allow to customize colors for layers, so that edges drawn for object didn’t burn our eyes out: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31535431

    In 2020 Illustrator team removed yellow color from the default 5th color for new layers, shifting the order, but never did anything with cyan, gray, black...

    We need an ability to set up our own order for these colors.

    We need to be able to store these as presets, so we can switch these.

    We need a way to make a certain order preferred in a template or a document profile.

    We need an ability to remap current colors for layers to any other chosen preset order, top deal with imported files.

    We need an ability to lock a certain color as a constant default ones, for those who need a single edge color, but many layers.

    We need a way to ask Illustrator to automatically pick a color based on the layer’s content, to contrast nicely with the art within.

    We need a dynamic 'difference' color, so that an edge could pop no matter the content (except for grays, sadly).

    We need an ability to pick these color no only using ugly OS picker, but our own swatches.

16. Add 'bold/heavy' and 'italic/oblique' and similar features to the Font filter options.

    I'm sitting here designing a character for my current comic, and part of this task involves deciding which font works best for their dialogue. Or which font family; I need to have at least one option for emphasis. Maybe two, bold and italic kind of imply different tones of voice.

    I have a lot of fonts that are parts of families and have italic/oblique/bold/heavy/black variants. I also have variable fonts that include weight and angle/*****/etc sliders. And I also have a lot of fonts that have none of these options.

    It would be very helpful if I could tell Illustrator to only show me fonts that have some of these variations, whether via multiple fonts in a family, or variable font siders. This would save me a lot of time scrolling through my collection of fonts, seeing one that feels good, only to hit the disclosure triangle next to it and discover its family doesn't include what I need!

18. Ability to turn off all tips/tours

    I have seen the same blue warning message about discontinuing PMS colors over and over no matter how many times I dismiss. I've been using this software for 20 years. I don't need tips. I especially don't need tips multiple times. Can we have a one stop shop to turn off all of this stuff? They seem to get more intrusive with every update.

19. Add Option to Save Both Editable and Outlined Text PDFs Simultaneously

    As a graphic designer, I often need to provide clients with both editable and outlined text versions of my work. Currently, this requires manually saving two separate files: one with editable text and another with text converted to outlines.

    I propose adding a feature in Adobe Illustrator's "Save As PDF" dialog that allows users to check an option like:

    "Would you like to save two versions of this file? (Editable text and Outlined text)"

    Upon selection, Illustrator would automatically generate:

    filename_editable.pdf

    filename_outlined.pdf

    This enhancement would streamline the workflow, reduce the risk of errors, and save valuable time for designers.

    Thank you for considering this feature request.

    Currently, if I try to export all artboards separately, the export function automatically adds "{ArtBoardName}". For example, if the filename is ABC, and the artboards are 01 and 02, then I get two files: ABC01 and ABC_02. As far as I know, we cannot customize how the file name output format is. So if I want to have the filename to be using "ABC - 01" and "ABC - 02", t hen I would have export everything and then rename them. I think it would be useful to have a way to customize how the name should be constructed.
