Can we have a PNG export tool similar to the one in desktop AI? I use it a lot for proofing, web stores etc... color depth, pixel dimensions and transparency?
Like the old “save for web” tool.

Asset Export bug report: Assets keep changing to include objects not in group
There is a bug in Illustrator 24.3 where groups added to Asset Export change to include objects not in the group. This happens on save and on asset rename.
I suspect this may be related to another annoying Illustrator bug where selecting objects sometimes appears to also select other unrelated objects somewhere else on the workspace.

SVG Import image X and Y positions are multiplied by 2
If you open this SVG in Chrome, FF, Inkscape, etc, the rectangle and the 120.png image should be stacked on top of each other. However, in Illustrator CC (As of 09-23-2020) the image appears at 240x240 for the X/Y position instead of the defined 120x120. Appears to be this way only with the image tag. If you were to do a transformation matrix, it fixes the problem but still it should be imported properly into Illustrator.

Replace file with same name!
Exporting png or other format, save with exact name, select "replace file", does not replace file but makes NEW file with "artboard" or other additional text. PLEASE when we select "replace", REPLACE the same file with the same name. Have to manually rename over 20 files. We have files that are linked in Indesign and this causes lots of extra time and effort every time there is an edit. Clients have to pay more for extra time, something that should be simple causes a large ripple effect when every other application renames replacement files correctly. PLEASE FIX THIS.

file>export>export as... still lists Flash as an option
How long ago was Flash rebranded to Animate? Five years now?
The "Flash (SWF)" option in the Export As... dialogue should be "Animate (SWF)".

Allow us to control the saving of cached copies of raster effects.
I use a lot of raster effects in my work. A lot. I can easily have several thousand paths with effects on them. (Mostly Gaussian Blur, thanks for speeding that one up a few versions ago!)
Some experimentation with saving multiple copies of an effect-heavy file with different raster effects resolutions confirmed my suspicion that the file size varies greatly with the effect PPI:
300ppi: 70.8MB
150ppi: 28.8MB
72ppi: 14.4MB
2ppi: 5.4MBReloading the 300ppi copy made it obvious that there's a cache of raster effects in the file, as I didn't have to wait through a half a…

Convert Psd to Illustrator Layer Fix
The issue. Photoshop not converting files for illustrator correctly.
excuses from locals: It works on in vectors... the arguing point to this... its art... and photoshop is being called a basic thing
If subject A is photoshop and Subject B is our layers. We have effects and other such various components such as shadows and shading. We are trying to bridge this over to Illustrator.
The way to accomplish this is each layer to be converted to png in a stack order atleast for a quick fix. So that way no programing and changes. The format would then work as…1 vote -
Copying a layer in a multi-layer file does not put anything on the clipboard for SVG
Select the top layer in a multi-layer file
Copy it to the clipboard
Use a clipboard viewer to display the "Scalable Vector Graphics" formatExpected Result: Well-formed SVG content to be on the clipboard.
Actual Result: The clipboard has no data for the format, even thought it advertises it as being available.I am a Microsoft engineer reporting this on behalf of a customer who is attempting to paste a layer from Illustrator into PowerPoint as SVG.

Checkbox to saving process for different file formats
When we save for clients different file formats, it takes a lot of time to choose PNG and save, AI and save, EPS and save, PDF then save. Maybe a checkbox when we export what kind of file formats we want to export, and it also rewrites the earlier files.

fsType not honored when exporting as PDF
Hello,
I've noticed the fsType value in the OS/2 table of OTF fonts is not honored by Indesign nor Illustrator.
I've set the value of fsType to 0x0102 and this should prevent subsetting and embedding.
However, Illustrator exports to pdf, embedding . Worst, it gives no warning the embedding/subsetting isn't allowed for the current font.for info, I had flushed any font cache to be sure the font files are the good ones and deleted them from my disk before reopening my pdf to be sure they're embedded.
For info, these fonts are located in Library > Application support >…1 vote -
Asset Export - Make Collection of File Settings
When using the Asset Export feature – it would be nice to have collections of different formats and sizing. For a number of projects there are repeatable file formats that are needed.
Allow the user to define these collections (not unlike creating and setting workspaces).
One might need a collection that has only SVG and PDF, another collection could only be PNG (1x, 2x and 4x). And yet another might need SVG, JPG and PNG, there are so many different ways to work and exports that people need.
It would be nice to repeat the Asset Export groupings as a…

Illustrator to Mobile
Mobile - We need a way to be able to open ai.files (or different formats from illustrator) and edit them in a mobile app.
e.g.: Right now I will need to change the background of a design everyday. In Illustrator it's easy, all I need to do is change background color export and voila.
However, if I can't find a solution to edit the background layer (or rectangle on top of it) on mobile. . . Adobe draw doesn't allow me to open ai.files or edit layer by layer. Can't really find a solution.
I'm surprised that with such an…

Export X, Y, W, H and angle to a text file or Excel format?
Please add a feature to allow AI to export X,Y,W,H and angle to a text or Excel file.
I have a need to get the coordinates and sizes of buttons (in pixels) for my Touch screen. After you design the image for LCD. You will need to know XYWH and angle for touch purpose. It will be good to have AI to send those information out to a file (not image).
Thanks,1 vote -
Turn "Export for Screens..." into a processing powerhouse for screens and print alike
Why limit exporting to screens? Many graphic design workflows require assets for both screen and print. A user should be able to pick and choose (and save) all kinds of combinations of formats, dimensions, resolutions, and naming conventions for exporting.
PNGs, JPGs, EPSs (Please add), PDFs, TIFFs, GIFs, SVGs, etc.
This could be such a timesaver, and go a long way to help restore faith in Adobe CC.

Hi
On Mac, Illustrator can not save with Apple SMB and "show column preview" turned on.File says "Illustrator is unable to save this document... due to some unexpected errors"
Illustrator and photoshop, please change your code to work on Apple SMB. Apple confirmed they will not change their code to fix Adobe cross platform app issues saving.

Don’t tell me I can’t save a document because it is saving
I'm going back to the 2019 version. There are no benefits that I can find to using 2020. First of all, there's the issue of it telling me every time I try to do save-close that it can't close the document until it's done saving it. YES, I KNOW that - I simply don't want to sit here and wait on it, I've got other things to do.
And on top of that, none of my fonts look pretty and clean like in 2019 and every previous version of illustrator.
I WON'T be going back to 2020 until you can…
