OMC Optical Music Recognition
OMC Optical Music Recognition, where the software will automatically recognize scanned or digital photographs of music sheets and intelligently convert it to Adobe Illustrator Vector Graphics or postscript format so you can change the lyrics font to what ever font you want to use and even use an intelligent music tool to make adjustments and changes to the notes.
Just as I requested OCR technology in 1990 and it happened and how I told IBM that you should be able to make computers understand what you are saying by analyzing your sound waves of your speech so as to be…

Share for review needs rotate tool in the web cooperation mode
I use the share for review usually for the very complex packaging designs.
In many cases the package has text on all sides and that means that the texts are sometimes 180 or 90 degrees rotated. Its very inconvenient for the client to comment those texts. So the web interface definitely needs a simple 180-90 degrees rotation tool.

Neues Abo-Modell
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich würde Sie bitten ein Abo-Modell zu kreieren, welches auf einer täglichen Basis beruht. Hierbei sollen Anwender die Möglichkeit haben Einzelprogramme täglich zu abonnieren, um Ihre Kreativität entfalten zu können. Zielgruppe wären hierbei Kreativköpfe, welche nur sporadisch Zeit finden sich der Gestaltung zu widmen bzw. User denen das mtl. Abo zu teuer ist im Vergleich zum Preis-Nutzungs-Verhältnis und sich dadurch anderer Programme bedienen. Bei einem Modell das z.B. gegen eine Gebühr i.H.v. 1€/2€ pro Tag sich buchen lässt, hätten User welche eure Programme bislang nicht nutzen die Möglichkeit langfristig an euch gebunden zu werden. In…

Share for Review Feature - Multiple Updates (Clearing Cache)
I’ve been using Illustrator’s Share for Review feature and I honestly love it. It’s made collaboration with large teams so much easier it has organized comments, smooth conversations, and automatic updates when I refresh the link. It’s been a huge improvement for our big presentations and data-heavy reports.
One issue I’ve run into: after many revision rounds, some reviewers don’t see the updated file unless they hard refresh or clear their browser cache. This can be tricky for clients or senior team members who might not know how to do that.
If there’s a way to make updates appear more…

Hiding the artboard (Ctrl+Shift+H) should not change the canvas color.

Make it possible to have NO active Artboard
I often take screenshots of my work within Illustrator for Proofing purposes and more.. but when doing this I'm often stuck with the dark outline of the active artboard mixed in with multiple other images that do not have the dark artboard line. yes, often times I can simply hide artboards and get what I need, but other times what I'm looking for is only within my Trim view. So even when I go into Trim view and try to hide artboards to remove this dark outline, it does not. I recently learned that toggling to overprint fill turns the…

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

Show Live Shape controls for grouped objects as before
The shape option in the Transform panel is lost when grouping or compounding rectangular or star shape objects.
This is very difficult to use because it used to be possible to change the shape object's radius all at once, even when grouped together.

Make Path Direction Attribute editable for non compound paths too
In vector graphics, every path har a direction. This direction has major influence in several situations, suchs as variable width strokes, object on path, and compound paths. Unfortunattely the path direction can only be accesses/changed when the path is part of a compound path. Please make the attributen changeable for every path.

I would love to see a "temporary canvas" or "temporary file" feature added to illustrator
I often find myself creating temporary documents that I end up deleting after doing whatever I need to do in Illustrator before bringing over to InDesign or some other application. It'd be so nice to start a "Quick Canvas" or something that has the full functionality of Illustrator, but it instead acts as a notepad that can either auto-save to the cloud or just delete itself after using.

Centralized Notification History
Currently, Notifications are eliminated when cleared. This is a problem if you accidentally clear a notification that you want to read later. Often a Notification can be a reference for something that you forgot that hasn't been documented yet.
Please resolve this issue by making Notifications like e-mail, where you have read notifications and unread notifications. This allows us to manually delete notifications at our convenience, but refer back to them when needed.
Either that or allow us to bookmark notifications for later use. This would require an entire Bookmarking system and seems a little much when you already have…

Illustrator (Beta) for the Web Unsupported on Android / Leaving Beta When?
Since the beginning of the beta being open, I am unable to use Illustrator for the Web on my android tablet... I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and I am up to date with the latest updates on the OS, Google Chrome and all security patches, etc. I even tried chrome canary, MS Edge (canary), and I get the same error screen.
Why is this?
Is it ever coming out of beta?

Project Turntable
Project Turntable - This option is not available even on the latest version of illlustrator 29.3.1 and the latest illustrator beta 29.4.73. How can this be activated in my account? This would really help fast track the projects I'm currently working on

User Friendly Subscription Services
Change the subscription model from yearly to monthly as default. In it's current state, the basic subscription is misleading. It claims it's monthly but locks you into a yearly contract. There are two ways to fix this.
- Use an honest model that is fully monthly with no contracts.
or..
- Create better easy to read text that clarifies if the subscription is monthly or yearly.
Please fix the subscription services to better reflect their intentions.
