Allow to see what file has changes when opened/imported, and allow to bulk the choice
When I try to open several .ai documents at once (many at once), Ai warns me about the changes someone made to some of these.
...but it doesn’t show me clearly what document this warning refers to (no, look at the 'the current tab' is not clear enough) and won’t allow me to apply this choice to all the document I open, forcing me to click like dozens of times. This is murky and exhausting.1 vote -

Bug and unexpected shutdown without saving
It's been a couple times since unexpected errors happen when I'm working on Illustrator, it shutsdown, and the file doesn't save. This makes me quite mad because since I updated to the new 2026, bugs like this should not be happening but all the way around, happens quite often. On previous versions, when this happened, the files automatically saved but now, it does not.

29.7.1 macOS - PDF Export- Critical Parser failure: Unknown character in content stream
In the macOS version of Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1, there is indeed a critical bug. When exporting files containing a large amount of text that has been converted to outlines, the resulting PDF file becomes corrupted.
To verify the issue, please follow the steps below using the attached file:
1. Launch Adobe Illustrator on macOS (I use Sequoia 15.6)
2. Open the attached .ai file
3. Export the file as a PDF using the “High Quality Print” presetResult: The exported PDF will appear corrupted, just like the attached example. Furthermore, when attempting to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, the…

Asset/Object export needs more options
I wanted to export multiple assets/objects with their artboard position and quickly realized they will get cropped and there isn't an option to change that.
The possible naming is also quite limited. Every professional program should have wildcards for naming files.
It boils down to missing batch features. I found a developer who gave it a try once (TomByrne IllustratorSmartExport). That's everything the batch export could and should be and it should be an official inspiration for how the export in Illustrator should look/feel like. Unfortunately it's not longer under development and the core functionality is broken. Still it's a…1 vote -
A feature to copy the element as any file format and be able to paste it on any other software we want.
A feature to copy the elements in Illustrator as format, like if I create an icon I should be able to copy the icon as "SVG" or any other file format and be able to paste in any tool that I suite me. That way I don't have to keep exporting my Icons every time I create one. Figma already have that option. This is valuable for me because I work on multiple tools like Figma and Illustrator and I like to design my own Icons and I don't like Figma for designing my Icons I prefer Illustrator and exporting…
1 voteAccording to the team, SVG copy/paste was disabled by default as many customers see performance issues on Windows 11 (due to clipboard recorder). It can get enabled back again in Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Include SVG Code.

Export Ai documents as HTML
I'm not a programmer (at all) — it would be AMAZING to be able to export a document as an HTML with attached code that we could upload into something like WordPress for websites. It would make my

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.

Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved
Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.
I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the…

Custom keyboard shortcuts for File Commands should work when no document is open.
Because custom keyboard shortcuts only work when a file is open, some File Commands like New from Template don't work when you would need it.

Illustrator 28 no longer retains editable text fields used in Acrobat.
The company I work for often sends files that need to be filled out in Acrobat, but the art is edited in Illustrator. In Illustrator 27 there was no issue. I would edit the contents in Illustrator and then open in Acrobat to finish filling out the form. But as the subject line indicates, Illustrator 28 somehow removes these editable text fields set in Acrobat, making the file unusable for our customers.
This work flow is not our choice, it's a requirement from some of our customers.

ArialMT in Save and Save As
Now the Save and Save As are creating an SVG with
