1. SVG export option to export global Color Swatches as CSS Custom Properties

   In addition to classes and IDs, CSS custom properties (aka. CSS variables) are a great way to style SVG Content.
   Conceptually they are closest to Illustrators global color swatches.

   I propose to add an Option to SVG Export of Adobe Illustrator to turn named global color swatches into CSS custom properties.

   Example:

   Original Output:
   fill: #456; stroke: #abc;

   New Output:
   fill: var(--medium-grey, #456) ; stroke: var(--dark-grey, #abc);

   Web applications could use the custom properties, to quickly create color-variations of an illustration.

   Example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/KQwpJR/

   An additional option could be a compatibility mode for the styling options "Inline Style" and "Internal CSS", that adds an additional fallback for browsers, that don't support custom properties at all:

   fill: #456; fill: var(--medium-grey, #456);

   This fallback should be opt-in, since it increases file size.

   Use-Cases:

   • Theming of Icon-Sets (like http://www.streamlineicons.com/ux/)
   • Branding and Color Variations
   • Definition of CMYK and Spot Colors Versions in Print Stylesheets or other applicable Media
   • Animating Color Transitions with CSS (example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/aEMaNz/)

2. Add Scale to SVG and PDF Export for Screens

   My biggest pain point in production for mobile right now is the inability to scale vector assets in Export for Screens. X-code prefers PDF assets be imported at 1x size. Android Studio prefers that SVG assets be smaller than 200x200 px. When I have large templates of icons or other assets that need to be sized differently for different purposes, it is crippling to have to resize these.

   For example, I have a set of icons that are used for a glyph font. These are all sized at a scale of 1000pt high. In order for me to export this same set as svgs for Android, each image and artboard must then be resized to below 200 px in order to do an export. Not fun when you have 300 to resize.

   Another example is achievement badges where I need to export 1x PDFs or small, medium, and large badges. Again, when you have hundreds of graphics, this is an immense amount of production work that could be saved if Scale were available for vector assets on Export for Screens.

   I know that vector assets are fully scalable and the size of the export should not matter. Unfortunately both iOS and Android dev environments have quirks that favor sized vector graphics.

3. Export slices as HTML

   I have always used illustrator and photoshop to work in for websites. I then normally open in Dreamweaver and finish the job off. Why can I no longer use the slices I have created in illustrator to create my initial html template... I don't seem to be able to export any more.

4. Export for screens should exclude template layers

   When exporting for screens, any layers which are set as template or non-printing should be excluded from the output without having to first turn off that layer.

6. Option to save / export values in 64 bits

   I work in metric, and everything works perfectly until I have to export file to the CAD software which uses higher accuracy.

   If I have a line of 42 mm, actual dimension is 42.00007 (because the way illustrator stores values in points, and getting rounded in 32bit).
   Problem really shows up if I have to scale things 1000-10000 times

   Would be amazing if Illustrator had an option to save / export values in 64bits

7. Export EPS with latex

   The open source Inkscape has the feature where you could edit any text as latex in the EPS-file after exporting it. This makes all scientists and other users of latex mega-happy. This is the easiest way to format the text to fit the latex document, and to add nice math writings to the figure in the blink of an eye, instead of the tedious work of writing the correct font and special math symbols in Illustrator.

   Could Ai please add the feature of generating something similar to what is documented here: http://tug.ctan.org/info/svg-inkscape/InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf ?

   I believe this is easy and quickly implementable in Ai.

8. Appending number after SVG export

   After exporting SVG files there is a version number added to the file name... can you make this optional... It adds a bunch of unnecessary steps to my work flow as I have to then navigate to the file and rename it every time I export...

9. Master Illustrator File Placed in Multiple Illustrator Files OR Export Selected Layers Palette

   In my line of work, we often time work in one single Illustrator file that has one basemap then multiple layers with each showing a specific thing separate from the other layers. However this gets tedious when exporting files where you have to select the layers you want, export as it's own name, deselect those layers and select the next batch of layers, export those under their own name, deselect those layers etc.

   What would be great is if Illustrator had the ability to have something like a Master Layer that can bring in a basemap Illustrator file to have in the back of multiple files so I can just export normally with the ability of the Master Layer updating when you make changes to the linked file.

   Otherwise, an option to choose what layers to export as what would be great too. Perhaps there's an Add Export Option in a window where you can select which layers to export and what the file format and name should be and a + button next to it to add another export option and when you're done, clicking the Export All button at the bottom

12. Export PDF with initial view set (ala InDesign)

    You have just added the ability set the initial view on a PDF export in InDesign, and it is a GREAT idea. It saves me a Ton of time as a designer as I always set the initial view to "fit page" and "single page" when saving PDFs. With AI, I still have to do this after the fact by opening the PDF and doing it there and re-saving. Can you please add this option to AI as well? Thanks!

13. Please return the option to export .dxfs in R13/LT95 version

    Please return the option to export .dxfs in R13/LT95 version. This was removed in the 2021 versions of Illustrator and some users need this export option as it is critical in the design and workflow for people who vut and etch with cnc lasers.

    See this forum post please:

16. Export multiple artboards with 'Save for web'

    It would be very useful and a huge time-saver to have the option to export multiple artboards with 'Save for web'. Currently you can only do 1 artboard at a time, and if you have a lot of artboards to export then it gets old real fast and takes up valuable time.

    Auto-populating the file name would be amazing too. When you do a regular export, it exports the files with what you named each artboard. But when you do 'Save for Web', you have to enter the file name each time.

    make it easier to export things...

    1 - add convert text to outlines as a check box when exporting pdfs...
    
    2 - add convert lines to outlines to shapes when exporting svg...
    
    3 - have a check box to expand compound shapes when exporting svg

    make it easier to cut copy and paste from figma to illustrator and vice versa.

18. export for screens - file name as prefix option

    Add a checkbox to allow the current file name to be used as the prefix in the export for screens dialogue, similar to the functionality in InDesign.

    Currently you need to manually copy/paste the filename into the prefix box.

    Also if the prefix box could be made larger that would be great - it only has room for approx. 10 characters at the moment, and naming conventions mean that our filenames are often much longer than that.

    Cheers!

19. Set export options to default to the same folder the native is housed in

    Set default export or save as locations to start in the same folder as the native Ai file as opposed to previous locations. It can be rather cumbersome when switching to an entirely new project, then exporting that project and having the 'save as' default to the entirely other project's recent save.

20. Add total artboard counter when exporting

    When I export my artboards (with 'Export as'), AI sometimes won't show whole range numbers, but stick to previously entered numbers for this file. This is fine.

    But my problem is I often need to export all artboards, but not first. And I don't remember exactly how much of them I do actually have — this differs from project to project.
    So I have to exit 'Export as' dialogue, go to Artboards palette, see how much artboards are there and return to exporting.

    Why not to show how much artboards I do have inside dialogue window?
    Please see mockup attached.
