  1. Issue with Hidden Layers Exporting in PNG Format

    Hello. I am experiencing an issue with Illustrator when exporting my files to PNG format using artboards. Specifically, the exported PNG includes layers that are hidden and not displayed on the screen at the time of export. This issue does not occur when I export all the artwork or only selected artworks.

    Here are the details:

    Software Version: 29.3.1
    Operating System: Windows 11 24H2
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Open the Illustrator file.
    Hide certain layers.
    Export the file to PNG format using artboard and have transparent background.
    Check the exported PNG file.
    Despite hiding the layers before exporting, they still appear…

  2. Bring in PDF's without changing the formatting

    PDF's, sometimes, when brought in, NOT as an image, but embedded, changes font style widths, etc. This was another issue for me, with a client who built their file in ID and saved as a PDF and I brought it in and embedded it. I did not catch it, but it's clearly changed. I have the font, so that was not an issue, it just change the "BOLD" to "REGULAR". Picture attached shows the "original" PDF as a pic on the right. I have it at 50% opacity as I was comparing.

  3. Offer more control for managing Profile Mismatching per image

    Profile mismatch alerts are given per each linked image, and the choices offered don’t allow to control this efficient enough.

    Please give us these things:

    1 - Ability to hide alerts in bulk
    It would be helpful if, like with other features, there could be a checkbox option for “Apply this action to all future alerts” to handle this.

    2 - Clear indication of which image the alert is referring to
    There may be cases where you’d want to fix a linked image with an irregular color setting, so the following detailed options might be useful:
    — A “Details” button…

  4. Find circle from a given arc

    A tool that, when clicking on a previously created arc, would calculate and give the circle whose circumference that arc is part of; this would enable easier amendments, recreation etc. Can sometimes be done by trial and error, but not always accurately, particularly with 'shallow' arcs for which the circle can be surprising large - difficult to know buy just increasing size, moving centre, repeating etc.

  8. Illustrator, Adobe XD and After Effects applications are not compatible with the latest Snapdragon chips

    I'm experiencing a compatibility problem with the Illustrator, Adobe XD and After Effects applications, which are not compatible with the latest Snapdragon chips. The After Effects Beta version cannot even be installed.

    Do you have a timeframe for these applications to become compatible?

  9. Recolor Artwork with Color Theory / Harmony

    A selectable feature to automatically recolor artwork using standard color theory harmonies like Complementary, Analogous, Monochromatic, Triadic, and Tetradic positioned within Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork.

    This would allow users to quickly explore different, harmonized color schemes for their designs.

    안녕하세요

    가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요

    일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

  11. Scrollable tabs

    I would like if the Ai interface was less "cluttered" and "manual" to use.

    Specifically, as in the case of having many tabs open than they fit in the viewport, I have to click on the double chevrons (>>) to only be able to open one file at a time. Rather, would you guys consider making it scrollable?

  12. Allow to show simple fractions instead of decimal fractions when possible in input fields

    (↑Francais↑ / ↓English↓)

    Ajouté les mesures en Fraction

    Dans la case "Propriétés", dans la section L: & H: , ajouté les mesures en Fraction et permetre de convertir les décimal en Fraction, les Fractions sont par example .: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc...

    Pouvoir écrire manuellement comme indiqué .: 1/4 qui convertie automatiquement en messure décimal .: 0.25in (Pouce) ainsi de suite.

    Dans les montages graphiques, sa serais beaucoup plus pratique d'utiliser les mesures Fraction que de chercher les mesure en décimal qui est difficile à certain moment.

    C'est un outils et messure très essentiel dans la zone Américain/Canadienne…

  14. Eyedropper able to select colors from outside Illustrator, dual monitors

    The eyedropper could be used to select colors from another window outside of Illustrator. As an example, a Google Chrome window with a photograph that is being displayed on a second screen. This would mean the eye dropper tool would persist outside of the Illustrator window constraints. This could be cancelled by pressing ESC or returning to Illustrator and clicking a different tool. (This would eliminate the need to import the photograph or artwork into Illustrator to sample the colors.)

  16. Espacio de trabajo universal y personalizado entre apps de Adobe

    Hola Adobe 👋
    Soy diseñadora gráfica y trabajo con Illustrator, Photoshop e InDesign a diario. Estas aplicaciones comparten muchos paneles (Capas, Alinear, Color, Transformar, etc.), por lo que me gustaría poder crear un espacio de trabajo personalizado y universal, que se sincronice entre las apps de Creative Cloud.
    La idea es simple: si un panel existe en esa app, que se muestre en el lugar donde lo puse; si no, que lo ignore. Pero que respete mi estructura visual y estilo de trabajo, sin tener que volver a crear manualmente el espacio de trabajo en cada aplicación.
    Además, cada vez…

  17. Allow other units of measurement for “Tolerance” and “Snap to Point” settings (Selection & Anchor Display)

    For the “Tolerance” and “Snap to Point” settings in “Illustrator > Settings… > Selection & Anchor Display… > Selection,” it would be very helpful if other units of measurement, with a specific request for millimeters (mm), could be specified. Currently, the only option is a integer “px” (pixel) value, which is not precise enough for some of the high-precision work that our teams perform.

  18. Simplifying Object Size Adjustments

    Please make it easier (again) to change the size of objects. I'm not sure whether it's a bug in the new version or a new "feature," but it would be much easier if I could just click on an object and then click and pull on the edge to change its height or width.

    I mean, yes, it's possible to use the direct selection tool and select the corners to change it, but as soon as this object (for example, a square) is slightly rotated, it's hard to keep the object straight while changing its "height" (it's not really the…

  19. Rotation of Subset of Shape Anchor Points via Direct Select

    Once you select multiple anchors on a path (but not all of them) you should be able to rotate only those anchors. Currently it's possible to move the anchors but not rotate them.
    Ex: You have a path creating a shape of a full body silhouette of a person with the face in profile. The face is looking straight left. You want to adjust the face to be looking more upward. Select the anchors that make up the head then new feature rotate those anchors so the head is tilted upward. Bonus Once you're in the rotate interface, have the…

  20. Bigger variety of basic finishes for 3D materials: high gloss, matte, shiny metallic, matte, etc.

    Would be great to have better material adjustment tools — the 'metallic' slider doesn't really do very much except make the colour dull, would love to make it super vibrant metallic finish. A lot of the materials in Substance don't allow colour editing or more than one colour so this makes it really limited. Would love to achieve a bigger variety of basic finishes e.g. high gloss, matte, shiny metallic or matte.

    Would also love to have more extrusion options, it's crazy that you can make a cylinder but no possible way to make cuts through. I don't want to…
