SVG scalable vector export option for use in Microsoft applications
Please include an .svg format without code or mobile device use that will hold clipping, gradients, etc. to use as scalable vector artwork to be placed in MSO applications. This was not an issue in previous versions of Illustrator.
I provide scalable vector artwork from my projects for my clients who work in Microsoft applications by placing "Picture from File" in a PowerPoint Catalog.
When exporting, I get an error message: "Clipping will be lost on roundtrip to Tiny" when opening them back up and the artwork is distorted.
I got better results with "Save a copy" however, I still…

.obj asset file multiple group/layer hierarchy
It’s very cool that you can export 3d models as obj - when I try to import the obj file Into blender, the group objects become scattered and lose there positioning that I have created - please make it so that when I import the file all of the objects are together / grouped as I intended and not scattered - great job on the new update 👍🏻

Exporting files - range settings resetting for different file types
Is it possible for the page 'range' to reset when exporting different file types? It's really frustrating when I've been exporting a few single pages to jpeg for example, and then when exporting a PDF of the document it retains the page range. It's a small issue, but is pretty annoying!

Baked-in colors when exporting Obj's
I'm new to working with 3D objects in illustrator but I'd very much like to use Illustrator in my 3D workflow. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I was confused to see that the obj's I exported had no color. Is there a way to attach colors when exporting these?

Document unit preferences saved within AI file (type, dimensions, outline).
When working simulteaneously on artworks for web & print - you have to switch now units each time switching documents.
Often when preparing artwork for different outputs/purposes.
Usually/often (always?) unit preferences are DOCUMENT SPECIFIC.2 votes -
Remove the "legacy" designation from Save For Web.
Save For Web was marked as "legacy" when Export For Screens was added, with the implication SFW would be vanishing at some point. It's seven years later and SFW is still around, and still what I use 100% of the time over EFS and the terrible Export As... options.
Save For Web is a great tool for someone creating art with Illustrator; it lets me quickly and easily adjust the file format and resolution of the generated image for whatever I may need, and uses most of the screen to show me exactly what I'll be getting.
Export for Screens?…

Automatic Saves and Back Ups
Softwares like Ableton, particularly Ableton, provide an automatic save feature, multiple back ups, as well as allow you to restore your work if your software crashes. Additionally, you can "Collect All and Save" and the program collects all the project files and organizes them within the project folder where you will never lose them as long as you have the folder and no longer have the issue of missing files. I believe that this system should be adopted by Adobe as this would save countless hours and lost progress for its users. Thank you.

Add Embroidery Digitizing Features
Please add the ability to do embroidery digitizing within this program; including the ability to export in the most common embroidery file types. If not, a standalone program added to Creative Cloud would be greatly appreciated. This would be especially useful on Macs, because there aren't as many software programs that specialize in digitizing as there are on PC.

PNG options, add resolution 96dpi
I believe we first had the resolutions 72, 150 and 300 in the PNG options dialog. Now I see 4, 18 and 36 have been added. A frequently used resolution that is missing is 96dpi. Please add.

When exporting the saving dialogue doesn't take you to the source location
When exporting, the saving dialogue doesn't take you to the source location which used to be the case. It takes you to Downloads instead which is not convenient for file organization.

For all Adobe apps, make a Save icon at the top.
Make a Save icon at the top so that we could save our work often and quickly with a mouse click instead of interrupting the work flow to do a File Save or even Ctrl - S.

Separate rasterization of text and non-text features in imported pdf
Hello,
would it be possible to implement a pdf import feature where text is maintained as vector text, but the other compartments are rasterized to make large files generated from Analysis software (e.g. heatmap) better to handle.
Thank you

Export large artboards to PNG using high (300 dpi) resolution
Currently, files with large artboards (larger than 6535 px x 4730 px) can not be exported as a PNG with high resolution. The best is a medium resolution. My current project series requires a specific large artboard size (9075 px wide x 6201 px high exactly) and I would like to be able to export and then print them in high resolution to give my customers the best possible printed product. Illustrator does not currently support this, unfortunately.

Image export both type and art optimized
For exporting web banners, my routine is to export one image art optimized and one image type optimized, aftwerwards stack them in Photoshop and unmask the type optimized version where text is visible.
I would appreciate an option of "art and type" that automatically interprets the type as type and the images as images so that I can skip the whole process after the export.

Save the .ai file and only after finishing the .pdf
As done in CC 2019, I can save the .ai and only after finish it I can save a .pdf
Now with AI 24.2.2 I save the .ai and immediatly the .pdf but the .ai file is not saved. So the .ai and .pdf are not the same. This can cause a lot of problem becasue is I start work to AI file I'm not in last version and if I start on .pdf in low resolution I lose some elements, and reduce the quality to raster.
Please, do as CC 2019 that Illustrator block user before .pdf save.

Import AI smart objects as vectors
If you have a smart object that is a vector (say an .ai file) for use in Photoshop, if you later export the PSD file back to AI, all the smart objects get rasterized including vector smart objects. It would be better if they are converted back to vector (except maybe in situations where they have effects or masks).
