1. PDF stroke and fill shape should be imported as a single object, not two separate objects

   PDF stroke and fill shape should be imported as a single object. Currently Illustrator parses such shapes as two objects: fill, stroke. This behaviour can be seen when exporting as PDF in Illustrator (without AI editing capabilities) and importing it again.

   Note: This seems to be caused by incorrect handling of B and B* PDF operators (fill + stroke in one object).

2. In Share for Review - Bleed view control

   Share for review seems to be very glitchy lately, however it would be great to be able to toggle the bleed to be visible or not when sending drafts to clients.

   Right now it's defaulting to show including the bleed but doesn't denote that to the viewer so you can imagine how messy that gets. Use case: when creating banners, signage, wayfinding, etc - one typically would use Illustrator as it handles large format print better. So you can see how the share previewing with the bleed can get a bit confusing for non-designers who don't understand that edge will be trimmed.

3. Proportional Push & Rotate Tool

   I’m relatively new to Illustrator, not sure if such a feature already exists, but I’d like to suggest a tool that allows selected objects to be proportionally pushed away from the group’s center point or a custom pivot point — without scaling them — and optionally rotate them around that same point. For rotation, it would be great to have options whether the objects keep their own rotation (independent) or rotate as children following the group’s rotation. Additionally, it would be helpful to allow setting horizontal and vertical movement ratios (e.g., move 1 unit horizontally while moving 0.35 units vertically) for the push-away action.

4. Make permanent artboard captions displayed on top when using Artboard Tool / mode

   In Ai 2026 (build 30) a new option was presented, 'Show Artboard name on canvas', in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, enabled by default, following this request:
   Provide an option for making artboard names / numbers visible on the artboard (like when editing artboards), https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40405873

   While it’s great and all, these new subtle captions replace the old 'label' ones we used to get when enabling Artboard tool / mode... and these new captions are rendered BELOW the artwork, even when I specifically want to deal with artboards, not artwork.
   These should appear on top when using Artboard Tool, and I’d say these should be old-style labels with clear distinct backgrounds. Gray text of new-style labels is barely seen on gray backgrounds I use a lot.

   Why do we need to see the numbers and labels above art?

5. Dynamic Bezier Stroke Corner Join

   Illustrator offers 3 types of stroke corner joins: Miter, Round, Bevel (same 3 as Offset Path filter/effect do).

   Miter one just extends the edges of a stroke with straight lines and then cuts the pointy portion off according to Miter Limit value. This works in a majority of cases when we need a sharp corner, but when curvy segments meet at an angle... the straight join becomes obvious.

   Meanwhile, Ai has Join Tool.
   Here, at the left side of the image a result of expanding a stroke, with a straight mitered join is rather obvious.
   So I select the point where the straight segments meet, delete it, and then use the Joint Tool to... well, to join them, following the natural Bezier extensions of the segments.

   This gives me a better looking smoother join, with no obvious 'ah, that's a thick stroke expanded'. I can use this method when I have a handful of these... but it’s not convenient to treat hundreds of these, expanding your artwork.

   Another solution would be to use inside/outside stroke alignment...
   But:
   1. it still doesn’t work for open paths — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33963553 (100 votes!)
   2. it won’t be helpful anyway if sharp connections happen from both sides of a line, both at inside and outside one

   So — please introduce the fourth type of a stroke corner join. Make it fall back to just simple Miter if the curvature of the lines doesn’t allow for them to meet properly (or cheat by changing the curvature just a bit).

7. Delete all / individual color chips in Recent Colors sections

   Recently Ai added Recent Color sections (the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44772598) to Swatches and Color panels (with an ability to disable them — thanks!)
   Unfortunately, we have no control over the section. Once a color gets added, it stays until Prefs reset.

   Sometimes I misclick and create almost identical colors and have to hover later to understand which one is correct... or want to remove some chips to keep some older ones... or wipe everything to be less distracted, because I switch projects.

   I’d like to have an ability to hold Opt/Alt or Shift and delete these chips with a click. An ability to 'wipe the row' )at least with a panel’s menu command) would be great as well.

   There is a second related request, about pinning a chip, so it can use the other modifier — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50279430

8. Make Enclosed Selection Mode a permanent option

   Illustrator now allows to use Enclosed Mode to select objects within the marquee (originally requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31863601), but the only way to do it is tap E key.

   I agree that this basic feature is essential, but I don't agree that any modifier keys or specific dragging directions (like requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49489604) should be required. Shift-drag is already used to add to the selection, so that won't work.

   Opt/Alt toggles duplication, and both can be toggled mid-drag (unlike in Photoshop).

   This should be a selectable selection mode (also with a hotkey), and in fact there should be a way to set it as the default option.

   Illustrator today allows to set this mode as a default behavior with the Select Objects only within Marquee option, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.

9. Line distortion when vector tracing — joins between strokes distort instead of connecting smoothly

   When using Image Trace or Auto Trace in Illustrator, the traced vector lines often distort at junctions where two strokes should meet cleanly. Instead of forming a natural join, the curves warp or bulge slightly, creating uneven intersections that break the flow of the line.

   It looks like Illustrator is over-smoothing or misinterpreting the corner geometry at those points. A more accurate “preserve joins” or “maintain line continuity” option would help produce cleaner, more natural outlines — especially for minimal line art or hand-drawn illustrations.

10. Background Grid Not Displayed Behind Fully Opaque Objects in Illustrator 30.0

    I am experiencing an issue in Illustrator 30.0 where the background grid does not appear behind any objects that have 100% opacity, regardless of fill or effects. This happens even when Overprint Preview is enabled. This kind of phenomenon did not occur while using 28.x and 29.x series.

    • Illustrator version: 30.0
    • OS: macOS Sequoia (15.3.2)
    • Issue: Any object with 100% opacity completely hides the background grid.
    • Troubleshooting steps attempted:
      1. Switching GPU performance ON/OFF
      2. Using CPU preview
      3. Resetting Illustrator preferences
      4. Switching to Outline view and back

11. Add Transparency/Opacity setting to Stroke panel

    Add Transparency/Opacity setting to Stroke panel.
    Is fast and intuitive, in stead of going through the Appearance hazzlel for a simple setting.
    Strokes should have separate Opacity settings, so a Path can have Fill and Stroke with different Opacities.

12. Enable continuous work while generating vector graphics

    Currently, when generating a vector graphic within Adobe Illustrator, the entire application becomes unresponsive for approximately 30 seconds (or longer, depending on complexity). This forces users to wait idly without being able to continue their work, significantly disrupting workflow, concentration, and productivity.

    I request that Adobe implement a background processing feature that would allow users to continue drawing, editing, or performing other tasks within Illustrator while vector graphics are being generated in the background.

    Thank you!

13. Auto-toggle Display Print Size at 100% Zoom by RGB/CMYK document; avoid manual Prefs switching

    Illustrator should learn how to pick the proper screen resolution based on the intent of the document... that is auto-disable the 'Display Print Size at 100% Zoom' option perhaps for RGB-based docs for screens and enable it for CMYK-based to-be-print documents.
    I create a lot of BOTH, and I have no idea why should I manually toggle this in Prefs EVERY time I switch between opened documents.

14. Make the Edit in Photoshop button work for multiple links at once

    Suggest adding the ability to make the edit in Photoshop button in the links panel to be able to work for all the selected links at once. Right now, it only works for one link at a time; otherwise, if multiple are selected, the button is greyed out. This will increase productivity as you will not have to select each link one by one.

18. Linked file is not shown like it should be

    I also found this issue while linking the file between the other apps (InDesign/Premiere Pro).
    Please see the attached pictures for reference.

    I normally linked the file(s) and lay on another size to make a production.
    It's easy to modify the original (one file), and the other linked files will be updated.

    Now I need to export to a photo and re-link the file.

    Why are the advantage functions continuing to disappear?

    Including the Cloud Storage, it is useless. Cannot share or download the file. Modifying the file on the cloud is a nightmare (super lack).
    The old version (shared assets) is very useful for me, the team, and the suppliers.

19. Help user to show open panels

    Sometimes UI panels are covered by others. When choosing those panels from the menu, a blue outline hints on their position.

20. Background option for thumbnail view when saving vectors, especially white vectors

    When a user goes through the save options on the pop-up window, it would be nice to add a feature that lets one select a background color for the thumbnail image. My reason for this is so my white vector files do not disappear on a white background. That would be great for me as a designer. The real trick would be if this thumbnail could also be viewed by anyone on their computer. White logos and icons I develop are passed off to clients or internal team members. Seeing that thumbnail can eliminate doubt and questions about the image actually being saved.
    If this feature exists, please let me know.
