  2. Industrial feedback

    My customers REQUIRE all our reruns of our labels to be the same. The color, the fonts, everything. Continuous reissuing of new versions of Illustrator makes this very time consuming and difficult. Most important, often our pressmen (with 50+ years of experience between the two) will not know something has changed until printed.

    An industrial press uses about 12 feet of material before the first label even prints, making this a HUGE material and time waster in a busy print house.

    Either fix your colors once and stop or tell us PRIOR to release of the changes so that we…

  3. Shape Eraser Tool

    similar to eraser tool in clip studio paint vector layer, you just click to delete a shape / path / compound path, or sweep the tool to delete multiple adjacent shapes.
    Currently I have to click and delete to trim these lines, which are expanded brush strokes, really time consuming process.

  4. Take UI problems from users serious!!

    Schön wäre es wenn man das UI "dezent" bzw. stufenlos skalieren könnte.
    Am Retina iMac ist die kleine Schriftgröße und Symbolgröße in den Bedienfeldern eine Katastrophe!

    Schön wäre es auch wenn Voreinstellungen von Indesign, Illustrator und Photoshop alle am selben Ort zu finden wären.
    Und eine dezente UI Skalierung für Indesign und Photoshop wär auch ein Hit. Ich verstehe nicht, warum man dies nur für Illustrator gemacht hat und da nur schlampig.

  7. save template permissions error Mac.

    In 24.0 it seems that there is a file permissions bug that prevents templates being saved into the default Templates folder. App sandboxing and file permissions may not have been defined in the Desktop Mac app.

    1. Save As Template...
    2. Name it Save

  8. Please add "Do not add space between same style" feature to Paragraph Styles options.

    Please add "Do not add space between same style" feature to Paragraph Styles options. It'd be a great feature to have in Illustrator :)

  9. color swatch meta fields assignment feature

    please add a few extra fields to give greater depth to the swatches
    i noticed that you have nicely chosen names like history etc for the theme swatch libraries yet when i go to create a new swatch the panel does not give me the option to attach a meta descriptor tag cloud to the color swatch, think about how this feature works on full images in the bridge. how excellent this would be at the swatch level. we could search for swatches by meta tag, i could see a dedicated program for using a eye dropper tool and assigning…

  10. Recent fonts button in character panel

    We can disable the recents fonts list in the character panel by making the number of recent fonts 0 in preferences panel. While working it always changes if you need to see recents fonts or not. I suggest to put a "show recent fonts" button the top of the character panel, near the "show recently added", "show activated fonts" buttons. The name of button can be "Show recents fonts". It is that simple. And we again can define the number of recent fonts from preferences panel.

  11. Just fix the grammer

    The "document will be closed after the save is complete" popup has a button that says "close anyways." That's hillbilly, not English.

  12. I think Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it into iIllustrator. It would be a fantastic addition .

    Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it as a portion of Illustrator. It would be a fantastic addition. I use it all the time but the developer doesn't seem to keep it up to speed with Illustrator.

  13. stroke eye dropper dedicated tool with a simple (shift-alt) brush tool modifier.

    In Illustrator when i am working with my drawing tablet , tracing an image, i wanted to quickly change the color of the brush stroke with an eye dropper to click on a background tracing image, then have the tool elegantly switch back to the brush with out having to click on the "tool menu" or the "swatch swapping foreground back ground" button. i became frustrated that this process felt clunky and un-intuitive in the current implementation.

  16. Melhoramento na ferramenta Seleção Direta para demarcadores, segmentos e pontos de ancoragem

    Gostaria de solicitar algumas ideias para deixar mais dinâmico os trabalhos de tratamento vetorial. A ideia seria juntar algumas ferramentas em apenas uma, ou simplesmente atribuir mais funções na ferramenta de "Seleção Direta" (principalmente)

    • Utilizar na ferramenta de "Seleção Direta" um Duplo Click para transformar o segmento de um demarcador selecionado em uma reta e, novamente com um duplo click e mantendo segurado, arrastaria para transformar o segmento em uma curva novamente.

    • Com uma tecla de comando precionada, ela poderia adicionar ou excluir pontos de ancoragem, isso deixaria o trabalho mais rápido, mesmo utilizando as teclas de atalho…

  17. Adding overprint toggles in the Separations Preview window

    Currently, the overprint toggles are only in the "Attributes" panel but the overprint preview toggle is in the Separations Preview panel. Including overprint toggles in the Separations Preview panel allows the user to see the overprints in the file and toggle off/on any visible overprints prior to exporting/printing. This would save on workspace real estate by choosing to exclude the Attributes panel solely for overprint toggles.

  18. Selection dependent tool display (context sensitive)

    In Adobe Illustrator, I find myself searching for tool panels a lot.
    How great would it be when Ai only displays relevant tool panels,

    For instance:

    -Selecting the Eyedropper brings up color related panels, and the Info panel
    -Selecting Paths brings up Pathfinder, Stroke and Fill
    -Selecting Text brings up Paragraph and Character

    E.g: currently, it can happen that Pathfinder hides a type related panel, while text is selected.
    Pathfinder is not relevant at that moment.

  19. Instantly swap two colors

    I've been making icons and when I have to reverse them to be on a dark background it would be great to be able to do that with one click.

  20. Combine Separations Preview & Color palette.

    Why not combine the Separations Preview and Color palette into one? It seems like there's plenty of space if you change the "C, M, Y, & K" to toggle buttons that turn on and off those colors and the percentage total at the bottom right. And maybe include the additional spot colors with a text link or expansion of the palette.
