1. SVG export option to export global Color Swatches as CSS Custom Properties

   In addition to classes and IDs, CSS custom properties (aka. CSS variables) are a great way to style SVG Content.
   Conceptually they are closest to Illustrators global color swatches.

   I propose to add an Option to SVG Export of Adobe Illustrator to turn named global color swatches into CSS custom properties.

   Example:

   Original Output:
   fill: #456; stroke: #abc;

   New Output:
   fill: var(--medium-grey, #456) ; stroke: var(--dark-grey, #abc);

   Web applications could use the custom properties, to quickly create color-variations of an illustration.

   Example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/KQwpJR/

   An additional option could be a compatibility mode for the styling options "Inline Style" and "Internal CSS", that adds an additional fallback for browsers, that don't support custom properties at all:

   fill: #456; fill: var(--medium-grey, #456);

   This fallback should be opt-in, since it increases file size.

   Use-Cases:

   • Theming of Icon-Sets (like http://www.streamlineicons.com/ux/)
   • Branding and Color Variations
   • Definition of CMYK and Spot Colors Versions in Print Stylesheets or other applicable Media
   • Animating Color Transitions with CSS (example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/aEMaNz/)

2. LessTime saving files

   Hello,

   as designers we come across slow process saving in a heavy illustrated files (too many vectors) when these vectors are shifted a bit or edit a text, the file needs to be saved again and it wastes a lot of time.

   The solution here is using the smart technology (adobe sensei) which it will compare the files and saves accordingly -to check if the text has any amendments, and accordingly takes action in the saving process from within- and this tech to be applied on other elements.

4. Shapes created in Photoshop should be paste as vector in Illustrator.

   Shapes created in Photoshop should be paste as a vector in Illustrator.

   After all Photoshop and Illustrator belong to the same family, So at-least we users expect this little ability to have this ease of use.

   Please do include this capability.

   Thanks.

5. Locked files on SMB shares (macOS)

   There is a weird file-locking problem when files are opened and saved from/to smb volumes mounted on macOS. If files are saved and closed there is still a locking on the files. So colegues are not able to delete/replace this files. There is no problem if the afp-protocol is used. For this reason we had to disable smb-sharing on our server, because macOS uses smb as default if available. (Illustrator 21.1.0 - but at least from version 19 on)

6. Allow the app to send projects to Sketch

   If I want to outline a drawing in Illustrator Draw but color it in Photoshop Sketch, right now I have to save it to the creative cloud as PSD. There should be an option where I can open the full project in Sketch app, in both apps where in Photoshop Sketch I can choose to either import a project from Illustrator Draw, or while in Draw I can export a project to Photoshop Sketch.

8. Export quality for EMF or WMF

   When exporting to emf or wmf formats to get editable vectors into PowerPoint the details in curves or small marks get all messed up. For example the details of a registered trade mark on a logo will be distorted or the curve of a letter o will become choppy. This is a huge issue for us and I'm hoping quality settings like the options provided for exporting and svg would fix the issue.

   Thank You

9. Local saves with Version control

   We need an option to create a project file that cannot be saved over. The reason for this is that when working with a client who has many options, we sometimes need to step back in time or recover older versions from unexpected changes.

   Similar to an Illustrator template file (.ait), we could have a format like .aiv or .aivi. This way, when I save flyer.aiv, every save will generate a backup file flyer-250204817.ai next to the current file.

   It would also be useful to have an option in a settings pane to save a backup every other save and retain backups for a maximum of three days or up to ten saves. Whatever option we choose should control the local .aiv file.

   I do store files on my local nas server, where every save gets a snapshot. However, when working on my local system (laptop), I don’t have that function, nor do I always have Wi-Fi. This means working in Adobe Cloud is not an option.
   Please provide an option so we do not loose our work or we have the option to recover from edits we desided were not what we want.

10. Allow Illustrator to remain in native file mode after saving to PDF

    Currently, saving a PDF from Illustrator keeps the saved PDF open in Illustrator. If you edit the file that is still open, you're editing the PDF and not the native Illustrator file. It is difficult to see that you're working in PDF other than just remembering that Illustrator does this (when other Adobe apps do not), and/or to look at the extension on the file tab.

    Feature request is to change this function so that Illustrator remains open in the same Illustrator file format instead of switching to working in the saved PDF via Illustrator. This would be similar to InDesign's function of saving PDF, where saving a PDF just saves a PDF copy out of InDesign, and you remain in the native InDesign file. Thanks!

11. Make 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option be always disabled for PDFs made with Export As but always enabled for Save As

    We now got a way to Export a PDF, rather than Save a Copy, thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32841790

    However, these methods don’t really differ from each other, and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' is still a thing for these exported PDF, bloating the size twice and leaving a way for these to be editable.

    I want this option to be disabled and unchecked for Export as PDF — announced loudly and clearly.

    And if Save As method is chosen — this 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option should be locked as enabled.

15. Share for Review wish list

    This function is long overdue and I am loving it. However, as someone who uses it multiple times a day, every day, I think there are a couple of things I think could make it better.
    1. The ability to group files together in the same link.
    I'm not a fan of "writing over" an existing file so that I can click on "update content". That is ok for small changes, but when the client is asking for significant updates/changes, I prefer to save a new file named "rev 1" or something similar. This then requires me to get a whole new link for them. It would be nice to not have to do this.
    2. When I update a file, it would be cool if the viewer was automatically notified instead of me having to send another email to them with the new link (or notification that it's ready) each time. Maybe this would require the capability of emailing direct from Illustrator in order for it to work but I'm not sure. I have also tried adding the new link to the comments or just telling the client in the comments that it's ready but that doesnt seem to notify them. Which brings me to my next point.
    3. When I mark a comment as "resolved" or I comment back, the client is not notified of such actions. It would be great if they got the emails the same way I do. I have clients who are both signed in a s guests and have Adobe accounts who never received notifications from me.
    4. The ability to see previous versions.
    I have used other proofing software that allows the viewer to be able to see a previous version and compare it to the new version. That would be super handy.
    5. A space to write notes. Be that about size, colours, etc... Each artboard should have a space.

    I realize that this is asking a lot of a program that is currently in beta. However, if adobe is trying to offer more to their clients, these things would be quite helpful.

16. It would be great to have more control of the .jpg compression settings in "Export for Screens"

    It would be great is more granular control of the .jpg compression settings. Right now we can only export at 100, 80, 50 and 20. We find that 60% compression is often the sweet spot between size and quality. Having a user adjustable slider or more presets would be great. It is another reason why we are still using the legacy export.

    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.

19. Give the ability to export extra Spot colors in .PSD files (also implement the Mixed Inks feature)

    I think it's for Adobe to implement the ability to export files in .PSD and have those extra colors in separate channels (maybe in CMYK mode plus the extra spot colors translated to extra color channels).

    If it works well with PDF files why not with Photoshop files?

    It's a real pain to get a 5 colors file (CMYK + Pantone color) exported to Photoshop. PSD files have all the colors flattened for the exported mode option (RGB, CMYK).

    Also, it's time to think very serious about implement the Mixed Inks from Indesign into Illustrator and in the end the ability to export them correctly into Photoshop as channels.

    Mixed Inks and extra channels export in Illustrator would make an even more integration between Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop...
