1. Export for screens missing modern features in order to be useful for responsive images on the web in 2022

   It's 2022 and responsive images on the web are well supported across all browsers.

   Export for Screens is close to being a good tool for this, but missing out on a few smaller but critical needs for modern responsive web (by priority):
   1. Customize ppi in combination with width / height / scale Formats exports
   2. Support for moderne formats: webp, avif and near future jpegXL

   And not really a export only feature, but:
   3. Be able to override antialiasing export settings per layer so text and artwork can be applied different antialiasing during export

   Note: Typical answer to several of these things are "Use Photoshop", but it's also lacking most of these features.

2. Import SVG fails to load images correctly when linked via a use tag with the source provided in the defs

   The import SVG feature does not correctly load images when using a use tag that links to an image in the defs list.

   The issues with the import are the following:
   1. The image is incorrectly placed in the clipping group, despite one not being present in the svg.
   2. Two strange clipping path triangles are incorrectly added to the clipping group that completely hides the images.
   3. The art board is also incorrect and not placed around the design.

   I created a small svg example that has an image that is linked twice within the design.
   <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0,0,100,100">
   <defs>
   <image xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIAAAAyCAYAAAAeP4ixAAAARUlEQVR42u3PQQ0AAAjEMM6/aMACT5IuM9B01f6/gICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIBcGuAsY8/q7uoYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" id="image-1"/>
   </defs>
   <g>
   <use x="0" y="0" width="50" height="50" xlink:href="#image-1"/>
   <use x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" xlink:href="#image-1"/>
   </g>
   </svg>

   The SVG should show two red squares that are in a checkered pattern. I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

   I am running the latest version of Illustrator, version 26.5. This issue affects previous versions of the software.

3. Do not allow save if multiple versions of same file is open in same computer

   Lets say, you have 10 files open when you are working in illustrator. You take a break and come back, and open another instance of the same file say, X (you forgot you have X already open). It does give you a message, that 'the file is already open, do you want to reopen' etc., but you are quick these days to click ok on any dialog box, rather than reading what the message was. Now, you have two instances of the same file open in the same window. This leads to multiple complications:
   1. You save one version. Take a break, come back and find another version. You see it does not have the latest changes, leading to confusion and overwork.
   2. You save the latest file to close it. Then as you are closing the files, you reach the earlier file, which is an earlier version. Now to close you have to save, and the moment you save, you have overwritten the latest file with a previous version.

   To avoid this, if multiple version of the same file are open on the same computer, please give an error message -
   ' A file by the same name is already open - last revised at DD/MM HH:MM. Saving this file will overwrite this file.'
   Or 'Switch to the other file to close that file'.
   Etc.
   This is a menace that can be avoided. I would suggest the same file not be open in the same computer with multiple versions.

5. Save as pdf (range) without ALL canvases being saved in the background

   See here:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/single-page-pdf-from-illustrator-includes-all-canvases-in-document/m-p/12564633#M300920

   When I save a range from a multiple-canvas Illustrator document, the pdf in Acrobat shows only the range requested, but when opening the pdf back into Illustrator, ALL canvases from the original document are in the document.

   Example (see also screenshots):
   I have a simple Illustrator document with 72 canvases. When I save ONE canvas from that document (Save as PDF, range X, Press quality), the pdf it creates shows to have only one page, but the file size of the pdf is 20+Mb, which for this simple work is exorbitantly high. Upon opening the pdf back into Illustrator, it shows all 72 canvases again.

   I want to preserve Illustrator editing options, so I can't/don't want to uncheck that.

6. Auto opening a layered illustrator file in photoshop as layered smart objects.

   I create my original illustration files in vector format and in layers in Adobe Illustrator. I then copy each layer to its own artboard and save off an Ai file with the multiple layers converted to artboards, I then manually place these artboards as individual linked smart layers in Photoshop to ensure a non-destructive and combined Vector/Bitmap workflow/solution between Ai and PS.

   This is a LOT of manual work each time, Photoshop SHOULD be able to open a simple and layered Illustrator file automatically like this in this non-destructive manner.

   Saving off as a layered PSD file from Ai rasterises as does the new cut and paste layers between Ill/photoshop feature.

   Even a pre-made and supplied script for each piece of software would help.

   The workflow between Ill and Ae with layers is great and works, the workflow between Ai and PS is an unnecessary mess by comparison while working via artboards instead of layers.

   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.

8. Adjust Artboard to image

   When opening a pixel image in Ai (to add vector details), Ai does not set the Artboard size to the boundaries of the image. Would be nice when it does.

9. Export for screens: poor JPG compression and custom JPG settings

   The compression and quality when "exporting for screens" in JPG is really bad compared to "Export for web".

   • You cannot customize the quality of the JPG
   • It embeds the color profile in the file, even if you have selected not to do so.

10. Place all pages of a PDF or AI file as links - same as InDesign

    Working at a design studio, we create digital proofs that are set up on a template so our proof pages all look streamlined. We use one working file (.AI) and place that file as linked images into a separate proof file (.AI).

    Currently you can only place one page of the AI or PDF file at a time. This can be really tedious when there are a dozen or more images we want to place. We like to maintain the link so that we don't need to export files to relink to the proof file every time we want a new proof.

    The place feature in InDesign is exactly what I'm looking for: choosing my working AI file, "loading" the pointer with every artboard/page, and dropping all of them into our proof file in one swing.

11. Export SVG without transforms for use with web / HTML / CSS / JS

    When will illustrator support options for exporting SVG without transforms?

    We have to manually calculate then set the x,y,width, height attributes on an svg element from a transform: matrix or other transforms.

    Attached image: I can't pull this into an html document and animate it because the inline transforms override the css transform I use to position or animate.

12. Export or save as SVG

    Please improve dramatically the save as or export option to SVG file!
    As many people have already requested, please simplify the code.
    But my request deals with SVG export with indic languages: IT JUST SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, even if all corresponding options (Parameters / Text / Indic and Asian line by line composer) have been selected in Illustrator!!!
    I attach two screen shots: the first one is Illustrator screen, the second the SVG result. You will see that the devanagari text is completely different.
    For your information, I have already mentionned that problem on or two years ago: it is a pity that Adobe does not care about …
    The only solution is to create these pages with Dreamweaver.

16. DWG export to have thumbnail/preview

    DWG files exported from Illustrator have no way to be previewed without opening. DWG files saved from AutoCAD have a thumbnail image included in the file that can be shown by Bridge CC or windows file explorer. but illustrator doesn't seem to export these correctly. This makes it impossible to sort through large amounts of DWG files.

17. Support for "9-slice scaling" in SVG

    SVG export breaks "9-slice scaling". This is understandable, since SVG has no such concept built-in.

    But SVG can do something like this. Or "4-slice scaling". See, for example:

    https://w3.eleqtriq.com/2014/03/the-holy-grail-of-image-scaling/

    I would like to see Illustrator's SVG export offer this feature, given that Illustrator does.

    At the very least, if implementation wont happen, or is delayed, please mention that 9-slice scaling is not working in SVG export in the docs and (for bonus points) as a warning in the export dialog box (in cases where the document uses this feature).

18. Imported SVG path elements - always black fill

    I am using the latest version of AI (early 2019).

    I notice that SVG path elements often lose their fill color. (They are always black.)

    Have not been able to pin down the exact circumstances where this fails, but I am attaching a bare bones file which exhibits the issue clearly.

    This file displays perfectly in (e.g.) chrome. There's a red and a green filled path.

    But when importing the SVG to AI, the 'red' path loses its fill and becomes black. The green fill is honored on input. I can't see any meaningful difference between the way the fill is described. The two paths are congruent.

    Note: The file was originated in AI. The 'red' fill CSS rule was added manually in a text editor after export. I believe it is well-formed SVG code.

    You can swap the class attributes between the two paths (in a text editor) and it will fail to import the fill for the other path.

    If you change the classname from "aha_red" to "st1" (both in the style element and in the class attribute for the path) it works fine.

    Can it be that AI is fussy about classnames 'not originated here'?

    No problem with polygon, rect, circle etc. Only path elements!

    And (BTW, GRR!) this webform wont accept SVG files. Had to rename it to .txt.

19. Convert embedded images between different formats/compression schemes...

    Currently, if I embed an image as a TIF, the resulting AI file will be larger than if I embed the same image as a JPEG. It would be nice if I could convert embedded images between file formats and have control over compression methods / levels so that I could convert the embedded TIF to something lighter in size such as a JPEG - all from within illustrator.
