XMP Meta Data、MM:Historyの機能改善
現在、IllustratorではXMPメタデータ上のHistoryの記述が最大で２個となっていて、初回保存時に１つ目、別名で保存時に２つ目が記述され、以降、別名で保存によるファイル派生が生じた時に２つ目のHistoryが更新される仕様になっています。
Photoshopでは、このHistoryの項目に保存履歴だけではなくconvertやderived等の主要な編集イベントの情報も記述されます。InDesignにおいても保存イベントは詳細に記述され履歴の確認が可能になっています。
Illustratorにおいても、もう少し細かく履歴情報の記述を行っていただきたい。以下に各サンプルを挙げておきます。

Export Artboards as PowerPoint or Keynote slides
I like using Illustrator to design complexe slides or icons, illustrations… for my slides and I’d like to export them by maintaining vector capabilities to have the ability in PowerPoint or Keynote to change their color and to scale them freely.
I know plug-ins or some export format will somehow works for some cases.
But it will be so nice to have a straight forward export!9 votes -
gcode
Hello!
I would be absolutely DELIGHTED if you could introduce a way to export G-Code from Illustrator. I have a laser engraver (Cubiio) and the only way I can turn vectors into G-Code at the moment is by using Inkscape and an extension by J Tech Photonics. I hate Inkscape with a passion so I grind my teeth every time. This is what I have to resort to when working with vector files that I would like to convert: https://cubiio.muherz.com/gcode_instruction.html
There is a G-Code extension available for Illustrator, created by https://diegomonzon.com/illustrator-to-gcode/ , but I have been unable to get it…

Export for Screens - Please add EMF as an option
I have hundreds of EPS icon files I need to convert for use in PowerPoint which means they need to be in EMF, EMZ or WMF format. The Asset Export tool is amazing and would be perfect for this task, but unfortunately EMF is not an export option. Thanks!

Asset Export Organizer
Under "Asset Export" provide an option to organize or reorder (auto alphabetize) the assets once they have been named. It gets very difficult to review my batches whenever I would like to create and replace an existing asset. It would also be great if duplicate names detection is available to avoid the same names for assets .

Add option in Preferences > File Handing to remove or “do not append” the word “copy” in the filename when saving a copy
Please add an option in Preferences > File Handing to remove or “do not append” the word “copy” in the filename when saving a copy. This feature is not an option in Illustrator but it is a feature in Photoshop that saves a lot of time compared to manually removing it every time.

Save Individual PDF's in CMYK from Artboards
We are able to save the artboards using the "Export for Screens" function, but they export in RGB, even when using a CMYK file.
It would be great to have an option, whether in the "Save As" window, to be able to save artboards as individual PDF's, with the artboard names, or something similar to "Export for Screens", but for CMYK files.8 votesNo longer a problem, the chosen color mode stays when PDFs get exported. Please comment back if this is still a problem for you with a latest release.

Toggle Off Large Canvas Scaling when Saving as PDF
Any artboards created larger than 227 x 227 inches are changed to a large canvas setting, which adds a scale factor to the canvas. So Illustrator will say a document that is 300 x 300 is actually 30 x 30 and just scaled by 1/10 of the size. This setting causes issues with my printer software where it reads it as a 30 x 30 and not the true size, it is disregarding the scale factor. I have to take these files and chop them up into smaller panels to print them. When I chop them up it is still…

Export Selected Artboards
Instead of having to note all the artboard ID numbers, it would be nice to select the artboards needed (with Artboard Tool on canvas or in panel) then Export Selected for Screens, or Export As, to have these selected arboards automatically chosen.

Set default artboard name as file name
Is it possible to have a setting in preferences to set the default artboard name as the file name?
Generally I name all my artboards the "file nameCMYK" or "FilenamePantone" for exporting later and it's just a tedious extra step to have to go in and name EVERY artboard what I've already named the file instead of just tacking on a delineation.

Status bar for when files save
Illustrator will not let you save as if it's saving. You basically get a message that says the file is saving and to try again after the process is complete. Yet there is no status bar, so you have to keep trying (guessing) until it's done. Photoshop at least shows a save status bar and also will do the next task automatically when it's done saving.

Extend/enhance Package command for multiple files
As it could be valuable to use the "package" feature to generate an autonomous version of a file with its own linked assets (linked image or lib Assets), it could be interesting to optimize and analyze multiple documents to relink files to a single copy when this file is common to multiple docs.
For Lib Assets it could be interesting to generate a library archive of those assets too, in the case of this "package" operation comes at the end of a project for archiving.

"Font embedding" is possible in AI format
"Font embedding" is possible in AI format, and added “the data of that font is kept if text is not edited" option.
Data can be delivered to clients and output centers in AI format that all functions can be used, not PDF format.(Translated to Japanese)
AI形式でも「フォントの埋め込み」ができて、「編集しない限り、そのフォントのデータを維持」するオプション。
クライアントや出力センターに、PDF 形式ではなく、全機能が利用できる AI 形式でデータの受け渡しが可能になる。8 votes -
Choose which version of PDF when saving an Illustrator file as .ai with PDF compatibility.
When saving an Illustrator file with PDF compatibility, the default version of Acrobat is 5, (PDF Version 1.4) which creates issues with transparencies, when placing that .ai file into another .ai file for layout.
I would like to be able to choose which version of Acrobat and PDF to be compatible with when saving an .ai file with PDF compatibility.8 votes -
Export selected only
Would like to see an "EXPORT SELECTED ONLY" option, so that you can export just a selection of items from a file with many elements. Really a pain to have to copy the items I want to export, and paste them into a new file in order to export them.
8 votesThere is File > Export Selection command in Illustrator now, that adds a selection as an asset into Asset Export panel and opens Export for Screens dialog immediately.

"Save a Copy" and 'Save As' dialog need the 'Suffix' option, like "Export As" has
Much like the recent fix to the "Export As" dialog box which added a filename 'Suffix' checkbox option when saving an image or images, would it be possible to also get a Suffix checkbox option added to the "Save a Copy" dialog box?
When I need to generate a PDF (or SVGs) using Save a Copy (my go-to method, less cumbersome than Print > PDF) which is several times per day, I don't want "copy" added to the filename and I have to remove it every single time before saving. Thanks."Export As" filename suffix threads referenced:

Export images with an option of including or excluding bleed
It would be great to have the feature in an Export window (in one of the two attached).
The only way to remove the bleed is to remove document bleed temporarily or remove it manually in Photoshop.
We remove bleed before we add the artwork to our catalogues.
