1. Option to export to clipping mask boundaries

   When exporting assets to raster formats, it would be a huge time saver if we had an option to use the boundaries of clipping masks as the edge of the exported artwork. I created three triangles and used a circle as a clipping mask in the attached image. You can see that the exported file has a lot of padding around the artwork because the outer edges of the triangles are used as the boundaries of the file.

   If there was an additional option to use the clipping mask boundary as the edge of the exported raster file, it would mean that I wouldn’t have to open every exported file in Photoshop to then crop to the edges of the artwork and re-save the file.

3. Import all pages at once from PDF file (that doesn't have illustrator embeded)

   I'm working at prepress for 20 years.. and verrrry often i need to open PDF files to correct some mistakes on many pages.. (like add bleed, or move all elements away from edges...

   it would be cool if illustrator would allow to open all pages at once for multipage PDF files..

   Ok, i know that i can edit page by page... or i can open one page, than save as with different name AI file, than open all other pages and copy content to that first saved AI document... but thats not cool for 8 page brochure..

   thank you

4. Set default PDF export preset

   When saving as PDF the preset is always set to Illustrator standard and you have to manually use the drop down menu to choose the standard you need.

   Most designers use always the same standard. I work for example in preprint and have to select X1a. It sucks to have to select this for every dingle file dozens of times a day.

   Other designers struggle there as well and send us constantly PDFs that are not X1a because of this. They forget about the selection.

   To ease up regular work flows it would be very handy to save this setting as a default.

   Hi Everyone,

   This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1.

   Illustrator remembers the last preset used for saving PDF files and keeps it as the default preset.

   Thank you for all the feedback.

5. Export for Screens, CMYK to RGB

   When working in a CMYK Illustrator file, the Export for Screens function currently creates CMYK jpgs. Since it is for screens, it should convert to RGB. Or at least there should be an option to convert the color mode for the exported files.

   In a package design project, the files are primarily for printing, but digital mockups are a secondary purpose. So it is necessary for the CMYK color mode to be converted to RGB. Export for Screens seems like it should inherently create RGB files.

6. Change "Export For Screens" Save Path Default To File Folder

   If I go to File > Export > Export For Screens the default save path points to the last folder I used. What we as users are expecting is the default path to be equal to the same folder as the Illustrator file is currently located in.

   If you feel this should not be the default at least give us a way to change this in the AI Preferences. Thanks!

7. When exporting an image, using artboard, with a single artboard, don't change filename.

   If save an image using "Export As" , and I select the "use artboards" (because I want the image to be of that size, and I only want to export one specific artboard of my file, It would be better if it didn't add to the file name (ie: the filename-01.png would be filename.png). This is because I find myself exporting each layer of the same artboard with a specific name (ex: characterarm.png, characterleg.png, etc) and I have to remove the "01"s manually.
   I understand that this feature is really useful when exporting all the artboards at the same time, but sometimes I need to individually export layers of a specific artboard. That's why I'm saying, that this would apply if I am exporting a single artboard. (or have an option for this).
   Thank you

   The latest version of Illustrator now allows you to manually control the behavior with the 'Suffix' option in the Export As dialog. Please check if it it works for you and comment back if it does not. 

8. Share for Review for Illustrator

   Enable share for review with Illustrator. I can already see how this will help when working with clients for magazines in InDesign - so I can’t wait to see how I can use if with clients for Illustrator based projects.

   ESPECIALLY as a professor - this will make it much easier to provide feedback for students during remote teaching and learning this fall with COVID.

9. Converting variable fonts and color fonts when saving

   Periodic saving is a natural part of design work. Now when I periodically save I get to watch the 'wait bar' slowly slide by while it converts variable fonts and color fonts to objects. I DON'T even have any of those on my computer.

   1. Illustrator 22.0.1
   2. See above
   3. Shouldn't have to wait to convert something that doesn't need converting.
   4. See above.
   5. I don't have a file to upload. It happens on all files.

10. Export for Screens / Export As without bleed option

    Export screens without the bleed

    I really like the feature called Export screens, but I do not really use it for print jobs, cause I can't export any picture format file without the bleed section of the document, which I use to show the client the stages of the job. Still, I could do the same with Save for web function, but it would be very very useful to export multiple artboards at the same time without the bleed.
