1. Find and Replace should immediately count occurrences of the Find field contents in a document, before hitting Find

   Why not showing us how many occurrences of a searched text the document has as we type the text? Why every browser can do this, but a professional tool will smack you with the loud alert only after you hit Replace All? How can I count matches without replacing?!

2. Add a Recent section in the Find/Replace Font dialog

   Sometimes we have to use the same font as a replacement font.
   Find/Replace Font dialog remembers none of our previous replacement searches. And since Search / Filter is missing too (here is the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45057382), we are doomed to scroll the list every time.
   Just remember the choices at least!

3. Multilingual Spell check needed for multilingual package design.

   I am a package designer. Our company fully committed away from English only packaging to "3L," using English, French and Spanish. Sometimes, we do 8L for emerging markets. When we review our packaging, and before film release, we use Spell Check in our routine. However, it is cumbersome to find English misspellings, when Spell Check spends so much time identifying French and Spanish as misspelled English words. Plus, it would be nice to catch a misspelled French or Spanish word, just in case our translation service team made a mistake. We'd not know because we are not native speakers. With all the AI language models out there, and Adobe use of AI, is there not a smart way to make Spell Check more robust and help us less likely to make a spelling mistake? Currently, it kind of defeats the point of what Spell Check is intended to be. It is not currently helpful in that regard.

4. Area Type "Inset Spacing" option to set different values for top, bottom, left and right

   エリア内文字の「外枠からの間隔」に天地左右で異なる値を設定できるようにして欲しいです。
   InDesignの「フレーム内マージン」ではできるので、Illustratorでも可能になればもっと便利です。

   また、日本のユーザーはエリア内文字で表を作成することがあります。「外枠からの間隔」に異なる値が設定できれば、表の作成時にも調整しやすくなります。
   （例）
   https://twitter.com/hamko1114/status/1661574685614825475

   ↓ English ver. (Using Translation tool)

   I would like to set different values for the top, bottom, left and right in the "Inset Spacing" option of Area Type.

   It's possible in InDesign; it would be more convenient if it could be in Illustrator.

   Additionally, Japanese users often use Area Type to create tables. Different Inset Spacing makes it more adjustable.

   (Example)

6. More Detail in Font Find/Replace - Include Details to Assist Tracking Down Correct Font

   When working with files that reference missing fonts, sometimes it is necessary to find the exact font but there is little to go on other than the font name displayed. If font information was stored such as version, type of font (TrueType, OpenType, Type-1, etc...), foundry, version, date, etc...it would make it far more efficient to track down the correct font.

   For example, when working with product labels, etchings or logos often it is necessary to use the exact font to maintain consistency in manufactured products. Having little more to go on than a name makes it extremely difficult. This feature would save a lot of time!

   It would be even more helpful if you could find a way to identify a font where information has not been stored yet...but I wouldn't cry over that.

7. Fix warp type effects

   This has probably be stated before, but has long been an issue with warping text. It plain sucks, especially on an arc unless you use the type on a path tool.

   Many moons ago there was a plug-in called Kai's Power Tools, KPT Vector Tools. It worked perfectly with one click and than for those that know Kai the creator vanished and updates were never made. It stopped working at Illustrator 9 for me.

   I am sure at Adobe there are many programming geniuses that can make the current warp effects work much better.

8. Make zooming in respect the text insertion point (text cursor)

   With or without the Zoom to Selection option (in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display), zooming in (I use Cmd/Ctrl+Plus a lot when I edit text) into the edited text won’t respect the blinking cursor’s position. So If I decided to zoom into a text I’m editing, Ai would just zoom in the middle, hiding my point of interest out of the view.
   Thanks to Brian Wood for bringing the attention to it.

   More of it — if I START typing (or press an arrow button), hoping for the view to adjust (like it used to do) — it won’t happen!
   So I can type blindly now, not seeing the result: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51215062

   And really, Zoom to Selection is just broken: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32928385
   It centers the view, instead of keeping the selection within view. It’s super painful when you zoom out using hotkeys.

9. Warichu’s Adjustment value is limited to an integer in point

   Confirmed in Illustrator 30.3.0 and CS4.
   It's probably a problem that occurs in all past versions.

   The "Warichu" using for vertical writing text, under use in Japanese environment.
   The adjustment value is set only to integers of points and it is very troubling.
   In that state, I can only do a rough job too much.
   I would like to improve so that more detailed values can be set.

   <Japanese>
   Illustrator 30.3.0 および 14 (CS4) で確認済み。
   おそらく過去のどのバージョンでも発生する問題です。

   割注設定の行間がPoint整数値ごとにしか設定できない。
   これでは大雑把な仕事しかできない。
   細かい値を設定できるよう改善して欲しい。

   また、テキストオブジェクトの拡大・縮小に追従されない。

   <検証手順>
   1. テキストに割注を設定し、行間をpoint以外の整数などにする
   2. 割注設定を再び開いて値を確認する

   1. 割注の行間に目安となる長方形を作成
   2. テキストと長方形を選択して拡大・縮小

   <結果>
   2. 値がpoint整数値に四捨五入されている
   4. 割注の行間は長方形とずれてゆく

   <理想とされる結果>
   2. 割注の行間は入力した値をキープすること
   4. 割注の行間はテキストと同様に拡大・縮小されること

10. Display names for character alternates

    When a singular character is selected, Illustrator shows Character Alternates menu (if one has the option enabled in Preferences > Type).

    But while some glyphs look distinct enough, some are obscure.

    These have names, Unicode codes (these are displayed in Glyphs)...
    What’s good seeing three similar spaces? How can I choose properly from two similar looking small 'a'-s, as shown in the screenshot attached?
    Why can’t I see what these character alternates are when I hover over them?

12. Add option to scale point type from the baseline, rather than bounding box

    It would be really useful to be able to scale text from the baseline - often I have text positioned in a layout and want to resize it, but as it scales from the bounding box it then requires lining up again.

    I'd suggest a tool that allows the user to scale from the text baseline. for multiline text there would probably need to be a way of selecting which line to scale from - maybe a first / last line toggle, and an option of placing a cursor and that would be the line to scale from?

    I know you can currently use the scale tool and click on the text anchor, but I find that really imprecise when working with small adjustments.

    The value would be time saving when iterating layouts, particularly with things where you're rebuilding artwork from reference and need to get type sized correctly and lined up.

    Cheers!

13. Can you please add the text recognition (OCR) feature from Acrobat DC Into Illustrator

    Can you please add the text recognition (OCR) feature from Acrobat DC Into Illustrator, I have been producing Emergency Evacuation Diagrams using Illustrator for 10 years, I get supplied with scans and non editable PDF files that I have to recreate. The ability for Illustrator to recognise text would be a huge time saver and I know a lot of other people would also benefit from this function. It is available in Acrobat DC but getting the text from Acrobat into Illustrator is not easy. There is a third party organisation that offers this service but it is very expensive, I don't know whether Adboe has some kind of arrangement with this company but realistically this should be a feature available to paid Creative Cloud subscribers and should be easy to add to Illustrator considering you already offer it in Acrobat DC. I would appreciate your consideration and feedback on this issue - matt@evacu8solutions.com.au

14. Allow font size, leading to be blank in paragraph & character styles (as in InDesign).

    In InDesign, you can leave the font size of a paragraph or character style blank, allowing you to apply a style while preserving the font size that's already set (critical for different sized documents). In Illustrator, while you can create a style with a blank size, it automatically reverts to 12pt.

17. Auto spell checker underline and hidden characters should disappear in Trim View

    When switching to “Trim View”, grid and lines and bleed and anything outside the artboards disappear, providing a nice preview of the document you’re working on.

    However the red zigzag underline of the auto spell checker and the symbols from Show Hidden Characters are not hidden, so that the preview is still cluttered with working tools.

    It should probably behave like the Preview mode in InDesign (W) and only shows the artwork.
