1. Improve Save a Copy as PDF workflow

   Description:
   When saving a copy as PDF, artboards must be chosen in the first step — before seeing any PDF settings. This is awkward and less flexible.

   Suggestion:
   • Allow artboard selection in the PDF settings step.
   • Add a preview (like in Print or artboards/screens in export) so users can easily see and pick the artboards they want.

   This would make saving PDFs faster, clearer, and more user-friendly.

2. Bring back the ability to make Picture Clipping Files!

   In illustrator you used to be able to drag any art in illustrator to your desktop and it would create a .pictclipping file.

   The file would then be a ready to use symbol or pice of art preserve spot colors, Layers, Grouping, Overprint, Any Attributes! It's simple and easy to use and so easy to share with my coworkers! More importantly, because of how simply it operates, better than the current library/symbols functions. I don't understand why they would phase it out.

   It's just not as easy to share standardized art through adobe's available functions. We get some new graphic artists that just don't know what they're doing sometimes. It makes training so much easier across the board to have this kind of thing simplified and available.

   I haven't been able to make a picture clipping file in a while and the ones I use are getting old. Bring them back please! I still use ones made from 2017 daily. an incredible tool lost since illustrator version 25.48 and I've tried to get adobe to help me download that version only to be told it's not compatible anymore.

3. Add Option to Save Both Editable and Outlined Text PDFs Simultaneously

   As a graphic designer, I often need to provide clients with both editable and outlined text versions of my work. Currently, this requires manually saving two separate files: one with editable text and another with text converted to outlines.

   I propose adding a feature in Adobe Illustrator's "Save As PDF" dialog that allows users to check an option like:

   "Would you like to save two versions of this file? (Editable text and Outlined text)"

   Upon selection, Illustrator would automatically generate:

   filename_editable.pdf

   filename_outlined.pdf

   This enhancement would streamline the workflow, reduce the risk of errors, and save valuable time for designers.

   Thank you for considering this feature request.

4. 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 in the final PNG. This issue is affecting my workflow and the accuracy of my exported files.

   Could you please investigate this issue and provide a solution or workaround? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you for your support!

5. Please allow currentColor for SVG export

   Using SVG in web development frequently requires manual editing of the svg code, to use currentColor instead of a fixed fill or stroke colour.

6. Add export functionality directly in the Artboard Panel

   Add export functionality directly in the Artboard Panel through either:

   A right-click context menu option
   Small export icons next to each artboard
   A dedicated export button within the panel"

   The key benefits to highlight would be:

   Reduced clicks/steps in the workflow
   More intuitive location since users are already working with artboards

7. Automatically describe sizes in units in file names when exporting

   I dream of having many working areas of different sizes, and exporting them to JPG or whatever as separate working areas, that the file name would automatically include the file size depending on the size set in the working file, for example in cm, mm, px... i.e. when I export many areas, in addition to the numbering, they have the current size given in the file name

8. Embed as attachment a DXF version of the illustration in the Export as PDF option

   Most often when designing files for logo or marquing tools we need to export a viewable PDF version and e CAD file as DXF.
   In order to keep them synced, it's convenient to attach the DXF as an attachment in the PDF.

   Could it be possible to impement this workflow in Illustrator? either in the "Export PDF" option or via a script/action command?

   Many Thanks

9. Tool to identify the size of each asset that is added to a document

   sometimes I save a project file and it is HUGE... because some asset I added is also HUGE, but I didn't realize it...

   I would like to see a feature where I could open a panel (maybe integrated into a LINKS panel?) and it shows each asset added and the size...that way I can make the decision to manually edit that asset to a smaller size so that my files aren't so huge

10. Placing "Show Import Options" - Import Photoshop Artboards Individually into Illustrator

    Give placing options (similar to the PDF import options) when placing a Photoshop file (.PSD and .PSB) into Illustrator; if the "Show Import Options" box is checked, give the user the options to import Photoshop Artboards Individually (Similar to .Ai and PDF Artboards) or as the whole image file.

    The "Show Import Options" box must be checked to get these options, however if not checked, the whole image file will be imported into Illustrator regardless of artboards present.

11. 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

13. アートボードごとに、「スクリーン用に書き出す」際のファイル形式を設定、保存ができるようにしてほしい / Allow to set format per asset/artboard in Export for Screens

    現在の「スクリーン用に書き出す」は、この操作を行うたびにファイル形式を設定する必要があり、しかも全てのアートボードを同一のファイル形式でしか書き出せない。そしてファイル形式は書き出すたびに初期化されてしまう。これは不便である。

    これを、例えばアートボードオプションで、アートボードごとに書き出すファイル形式を設定し、その設定を保存できるようになれば大変便利になるはず。

14. Share for Review extra functions

    Hi,

    I'm really thankful for this review function but there are a couple of things I would like to see in the future. Hopefully, some are already in progress!

    1. Ability to select which artboards to share

    2. Show the size of the artboard (I prepare 6 artboards at a go, clients do not know what size are they looking at)

    3. Have a pretty URL that does not look like... https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:46b3c72e-e17c-42b7-2da9-08fc21a30b91

    4. A caption area for each artboard so that I can put down some notes directly on the Illustrator app.

    Thank you!

15. Save the Export Path to with Export for Screens Presets

    Please, SAVE the "Export To:" path with the Export Preset.

    I don't want to set my Export Path in Export for Screen every f*ing time I restart Illustrator.

    I was hoping that Export Presets would have fixed this annoyance, but it didn't help at all.

    It amazes me how impossible it seems for Adobe to get these simple things work like they should.

17. Package/collect multiple illustrator files at once for sending to printers like "Art Files 3" does.

    We currently use Art Files 3 to package multiple ai files at once without having to individually open the illustrator files. With the new Illustrator 2023, Art Files 3 is no longer compatible and they also seem to be out of business. We send anywhere from 3-20 files at once on a regular basis. Working with multiple artboards in one file is not an option. We need to find a subsitute app or a solution that can package miltiple files, fonts and images (both embedded and linked) all at once like Art Files.. We can't use the AI package feature as it requires opening and packging one file at a time and doesn't not package embedded files.

19. File Save Options - Recovery data location

    I'm running the latest version of Illustrator (26.2.1 as I'm writing this) but my data recovery preferences are somehow stuck at the location for Illustrator 20 and the application warns me every time that it can't save recovery data for the current document. I can change this, I know, but that still just keeps it then stuck at the location for version 26, and will presumably break again when version 27 is released.
    What I need is some way to restore the default behaviour which would (presumably) automatically update to the correct relative location for the current application version.
