Allow auto update scheduling
The auto update feature is nice, but it might become a bit of a hassle as you need to close the apps to update.
I would propose to have a drop down option to allow the Adobe CC suite to
Download the updates on the background and then ask when to install, thus not getting in the way of on going work
More importantly, allow an scheduling of said background download, so it can be downloaded during the least network stressed time of the day.

The recolor artwork window needs to be variable size.
The color list form is too small. Make window resizable.

We want you to make file size light even if we save by "Create PDF compatible file".
Selecting “Create PDF compatible file” saves the file size. We want you to be able to choose a resolution such as "350dpi" or "72dpi", and you can see the preview and reduce the file size.

Image Trace options
I’ve been an Adobe user for over 20 years. I used to love using Streamline to convert raster to vector and then make adjustments to the levels before going to the direct select tool for further adjustments. I suggest adding in the adjustment/level options to Image Trace as Streamline used to have rather than just default vectorizing of images. Please do this. I’ve been meaning to suggest this for years. Thanks!

Editable stroke profiles
Add a robust window where you can non-destructively edit the stroke profile (maybe with Bezier handles). This would allow users to taper strokes beyond the good but limited presets in real time.

Saving/Exporting PDF as separate pages
When saving PDFs, can we have same menu and options as when saving Ai files:
- separate art-boards into individual files (using range) (InDesign has it)
- INCLUDE the art-board names with each page
- please, please, please. We've been using Ai as print files for years, because PDF is lacking this5 votes -
Show "proxy" preview on placed PDF files instead of hi-res
Just like you have "proxy" link for placed Photoshop.eps files - apply the same feature for PDFs. When PDFs are placed in IL as links, no-one needs hi-res preview of PDFs which causes super sluggish performance of IL. Anything you do in IL, is being slow cause that hi-res preview is on all the time. This feature allows you to place super big files (gigabytes) and handle them with ease. I just wish you can do this with PDF. All Adobe needs to do is use PDF thumbnail (option).

Syncable Color Swatch/Palette Library
it would be nice to have one library with different categories.. you update it once and see it in every illustrator file!
this would be very useful for personal use but also in teams, somewhat like a kuler for illustrator.1 vote -
"EmojiOne Color" font in AI CC 2019
"EmojiOne Color" is a "color-only" font in AI CC 2019. Although it has "fallback" B&W characters that work fine in earlier versions of Illustrator the font CANNOT be change to B&W in AI CC 2019. This is a HUGE flaw in the font and should be made to work in either color or black and white mode.

Is it possible to custom CSS classes? not Id's (so layers)
Like in Inkscape where we can see the SVG output and modify it before export.
I know there is Graphic Styles etc.1 vote -
As a user, I want to be informed when I am importing a 16-bit image that they are not supported and need to be converted to 8-bit
Since AI devs don't seem keen to add 16-bit functionality to AI, at the very least, support your users by informing them that they are importing something that AI cannot display correctly.

Rearrange expanded layers without collapsing
When a layer has sublayers and/or it is expanded, it is currently impossible to drag a new layer below the expanded layer without collapsing it because the new layer is automatically made a sublayer of that expanded layer. The opposite works - new layers can be placed above even when not collapsed. Being able to see desired sublayers or content and arrange in both directions would be ideal.

Include Photoshop's Gamut Warning feature
Photoshop has a great feature that, in the color picker, greys out any colors unavailable in CMYK. This makes choosing appropriate colors for a project much faster and easier. It would be nice if Illustrator had this same functionality.

Give the Colors panel a useful color picker
Illustrator has a number of different color pickers that appear depending on what particular item you click on, but the one in the color panel is the least useful and most tiring to use.
As far as I can tell, this picker is the Brightness Cube from Photoshop but without the brightness slider that’s needed to make effective use of it. If you use the sliders to adjust saturation or brightness, the change isn’t reflected in the palette square.
With this picker, you can either reduce saturation but with maximum brightness, OR you can reduce brightness but with maximum saturation.…

Linked assets swap feature
Being designing 748 cards for EDU purposes, I suggest a feature that will let us swap assets stored in the cloud libraries the way we do with symbols.
The reason :
Linked assets between documents is a very handy feature
But symbols cannot store linked assets .
And symbols can be swapped in their own libraries which is also very handy, but these libraries are not linked between documents.
As linked assets can store symbols, if we could swap linked assets containing symbols, it would be a big time saving.Regards

【要望】「PDF互換ファイルを作成」に画質を入力もできるようにしてほしい。
イラストレーターの保存時に「PDF互換ファイルを作成」を選ぶとファイル容量が大きくなる。特に高画質の画像を配置していると大きくなる。「PDF互換ファイルを作成」に画質を入力もできるようにしてほしい。例：「350ppiなど」
