  1. Allow Save Options to be Skipped

    Personally, I'd like to skip the extra dialog after I name my file and click the Save button.

    If I actually want to alter any of the settings, I'd prefer to do it by actively clicking an [Format] Options button in the Save dialog (opening a new dialog) rather than after already naming the file and clicking the Save button.

    Sometimes performance is slow enough that it takes some time for the next dialog to even show, which breaks my workflow as I move on to other tasks in other apps, thinking my file is safely saved already (I did…

  2. Fix the problem to allow me to create a new canvas and use the app.

    I can’t create a new file since I subscribed, it is absolutely wasting my trial… very bad experience.

  4. Atomic Design workflow between Illustrator, Figma/XD and Dreamweaver.

    Create a workflow between Illustrator, Figma/Adobe XD and Dreamweaver to easily implement Atomic Design systems. In Illustrator, the user should be able to create atoms, molecules, organisms, templates, and pages of a design system that can be opened in Figma/Adobe XD and Dreamweaver too, to speed up prototyping and development.

    This workflow should create CSS, classes etc from the Illustrator file on. The changes in Illustrator or Figma/XD should propagate to Illustrator and Dreamweaver.

    For example, if I design a main button in Illustrator, when I open the file in Figma/XD, it is already a button there too, with the…

  5. Create Working Version or Working Artboard

    Often times when working on a Logo or Design Project, I create type that I eventually turn into outlines for the final artwork -- and what my clients receive. It would be very convenient to have an Artboard within the document that does not print nor show up in a PDF, but remains in the native file. It would allow for "instant typography fixes" within the same document and a true "working" file during design phase.

  6. Can’t save SVG with <desc> tags

    I've recently updated my Illustrator to Version 26.3.1 and when i save out svg data it is no longer able to save out <desc> tags. Extremely detrimental problem for my pipeline. Please look into this issue since 26.2.1 will only be available until 2023. I have attached a photo of the issue demonstrated in Notepad++

  7. Each item in the document to have its own persistent history

    Linear document history seems very dated considering how much ram computers have these days, a hierarchical multi-dimensional object oriented history seems like a good idea. It would be amazing if I could choose to access the history of each item in the layers panel. it might work similar to file versioning solutions like GIT.

    This history could be optionally saved into the file or cloud library so it can be accessed across sessions.

  8. Remove Onboarding features as they get in the way of me trying to do my job

    It can be extremely frustrating to have popover windows introduce features or to say "hey let's start designing". I'm already trying to design by firing up illustrator and opening a file. I'm busy and just need to get some work done for a deadline. I don't need you asking the obvious or interrupting me from completing my job.

    I get that you want to help me know that new features exist, but please, please, do that in a way that doesn't force me to acknowledge your popover when I open up a file that already exists. Or even if i…

    Why is the icon to show a file is saved to the cloud a check mark?! It would be more clear if it were a cloud.

  10. Font Style Sheets

    The integration of all products in the Adobe suite has helped my workflow tremendously with one exception. If I am working on a project requiring multiple outputs from Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Animate, and Premiere, I have to create design templates for each (when possible) to get each program to use the fonts required for the project.
    It would be nice if there were a tool allowing me to create a master style sheet for all outputs that would let me select the fonts used in ALL of my output files. Not only would this make my workflow more efficient,…

  11. I am trying to display on Illustrator the diagraming of sentences. Here is an example: Constructing that image requires typing on a pat

    See attached file with a screen shot of what "Type on a path" might accomplish if the path were to be made visible on a project for diagramming sentences.

  12. The large print documents do not give the option of exporting the artwork to dxf or dwg format.

    Whenever I work on large print documents, I do not have the option to export it to dwg format. I have to re-size the artwork and the copy and paste it into a normal A4 size document and then export the artwork in dwg file. And after I open the file in cad, I have to re-size it again to actual scale.

    However when I export, I have an option to exporting the artwork in 1:100 or 1:500, but I don't have the habit of working with scales and it feels inconvenient.

  13. Critical Bug in the Latest Illustrator: TIFF Objects Vanish After Drag‑and‑Drop from Photoshop on macOS

    Since this year’s update, the newest version of Illustrator has a serious issue: on macOS, when I drag an object from Photoshop into Illustrator as a TIFF, the object disappears.
    • While I’m working, the imported TIFF sometimes vanishes from the artboard.
    • When I save the file as a PDF, the object is missing almost 100 % of the time.

    Please fix this urgently!

    I sent a file to the print shop—and who would ever imagine that the object could simply be gone from the PDF?

  14. Syncable Color Swatch/Palette Library

    it would be nice to have one library with different categories.. you update it once and see it in every illustrator file!
    this would be very useful for personal use but also in teams, somewhat like a kuler for illustrator.

  15. Add Units to Move Function

    It would be great if when using the MOVE feature we could switch between UNIT types (Inches, Pixels, Points, etc...). For example, often we want the file in inches but to move in points.

  16. libCC remain path aspect vs PDF like

    When incorporating an object from a library, (but the same behavior occurs if the file is placed) the Object lose all the appeareance and is imported as expanded wth some "clipping path added"

    however, the Appearance information is still in the file because if you ask to edit the original all is fine.

    Could it be possible to add a preference in the "embed" menu to ask if you embed as "Pdf" or as "AICB" the same dialog you can have in Saving Clipboard Prefs ?

    This could be really valuable.

    Thanks

    Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

    Hi Jean-Michel,

    Press the Option key while dropping graphics from CC Library to artboard in Illustrator to bring the ‘original’ AI content. This will directly embed the graphic. Without the Option key it places the graphic, and all AI files get placed as PDF, hence the issues.

    Does the Option key work for you?

    Thanks,
    Yogesh

  18. All creative cloud document preview when applications are not running

    Sorry for my Tarzan's english. On Mac Big Sur I'm suffering a lot because it's impossible to see documents preview with space bar when a file is selected. I need this feature with Illustrator and InDesign! Thank you. BTW: Art View doesn't works anymore.

  19. Please Address Ongoing Bugs in Font Activation

    Despite recently getting a fix, there is still a problem involving fonts deactivating, and Illustrator listing those same fonts as active.
    I'm still constantly going to the website to deactivate and reactivate fonts, and it's annoying.
    Just this afternoon I had this problem with Lato, HWZ Artz, and Wigwag. However I've seen this problem with many others before.
    Can't we just store these things locally and keep them there??
