2. Japanese characters in Japanese fonts are misaligned in Vertical Text Alignment

   Starting with v24.3, vertical text alignment is now available. This is a great feature we have been waiting for. However, characters in Japanese fonts are misaligned at the center and bottom, as shown in Figure-1.

   This is probably due to the fact that the bottom edge of the character is used as the baseline.Maybe we need The Last Baseline option.It's a tough road. But the Illustrator team can make it happen, I am sure of it.

   Japanese:
   v24.3より、垂直方向のテキスト配置が利用できるようになりました。これは待ち望んでいた素晴らしい機能です。しかし、日本語フォントの文字は、Figure-1に示すように、中央揃えと下揃えの位置がずれてしまいます。
   これは、文字の下端をベースラインとしていることが原因と思われます。末尾ベースラインオプションが必要かもしれません。大変な道のりです。しかし、Illustratorチームはそれを実現できる、私はそう確信しています。

4. In Export for Screens save prefix, suffix, location, and other options per document

   As a designer with multiple files,
   I want the ability to set the export for screens folder per file,
   So that I don't have to constantly relocate the location of the output for each file I open up. It would be helpful to get **** done.

   • When exporting a file the location identified for the first time is saved for subsequent times I access to export.

5. Make blend profiles (acceleration) and better blend controls

   Blend tool in AI is weak.
   Please add acceleration for both attributes and positions for blended objects, as other competitors do.
   Remove positioning by Bezier tension, people hardly use it (watch forums), — make separate curve control for it (or at least sliders!)

   Started (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The recent Ai Beta offers acceleration control within its newly introduced Blend panel (requested here).

   It introduces easing controls — separately for spacing (with spine only for now) and appearance (with steps only), — spine controls, Make button...

   If possible, please update and provide feedback to shape the further development. All comments are super valuable.

6. Make Illustrator PDFs more automatically accessible

   Accessibility is incredibly important. Obviously Adobe wants to help but it is incredibly limited in Illustrator. If you supply multiple artboards, character and paragraph styles and great text placement options, you should make the PDF export carry those options through. What's the point of using InDesign when you only have two pages? Who needs to files for every project?

7. Percentage rulers

   Photoshop has Percentage as a unit for its ruler, and I find it very useful when one needs to center an element, or drag a guide in the middle or the third of the image, especially as one can stick to the ruler marks.

   I always wondered why Illustrator did not have that functionality.

8. TouchBar customization

   Can you please make available the option to customize the MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Adobe Illustrator. The new MacBook Pro Touch Bar is very useful and handy. The shortcuts that I can use with the Touch Bar save me a lot of time.

9. Add trackpad / touchpad support for Windows / Surface devices (zoom, diagonal scroll, etc.)

   Windows Surface Book trackpads have little to no gesture support. It's incredibly annoying. Please add pinch to zoom, two finger scrolling, etc.. The same functionality you would expect on a macbook would be great.

10. Consistent and/or customizable number of decimals places for values

    v 22.0.1

    Most of the Features in Illustrator have inconsistent number of decimal places.
    New document size — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Artboard size — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    Artboard position x,y (in the same window) — 1 decimal place, 0.1
    creating new rectangle — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    Object transformation — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Rectangle angle — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    Rounding corners — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Split into grid — 2 decimal places, 0.01

    Offset path — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    3d revolve angle — 0 decimal places
    3d Extrude & Bevel angles — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    3d Extrude & Bevel — extrude depth — 2 bevel height — 0 decimal places
    3d Rotation everything — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    drop shadow dialogue — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    Move dialog — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    Pattern — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    Blend — 2 decimal places, 0.01

    Let's look at the example user journey:

    In my workflow I am building an illustration of isometric sport games layouts.
    As Illustrator has an working area size limitation i am forced to keep the illustration in certain scale. and for smaller objects I have to create bigger versions of 3D elements, then through symbols/CC library scale them down. Otherwise the limitation in number of decimal places of the 3D effects doesn't allow me to keep the proper object shapes.

    The number of decimal places in Transform tool is 3 (minimum 0.001)

    The extrude Depth field has a soft cap for 2 decimal places and minimum value of 0.01 pt

    The Bevel Height for some unclear reason is limited to zero decimal places — 1 pt

    Both have to be 3 decimal places a minimum value of at least 0.01 pt

    v 22.0.1

    Most of the Features in Illustrator have inconsistent number of decimal places.
    New document size — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Artboard size — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    Artboard position x,y (in the same window) — 1 decimal place, 0.1
    creating new rectangle — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    Object transformation — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Rectangle angle — 2 decimal places, 0.01
    Rounding corners — 3 decimal places, 0.001
    Split into grid — 2 decimal places, 0.01

    Offset path — 4 decimal places, 0.0001
    3d revolve angle — 0 decimal places
    3d Extrude & Bevel angles — 2 decimal… more

11. Effects do not rotate (drop shadow) or scale (e.g: gaussian blur)

    If you create a logo and use the drop shadow effect, the values will scale but not rotate.IN packaging design we often rotate the logo for every panel on a carton. After you rotate the logo you must manually change the values to for example get the most popular bottom right drop shadow on all logos.

    Gaussian blur can be sued to make a your own drop shadow effect, but that has another problem in that the blur amount will not adjust.

    If you search your home or local supermarket, you will eventual find items that went incorrectly to press, identifying this being done in Adobe Illustrator.

    My expectation is that the drop shadow would rotate. I understand this may be difficult to accomplish to angled logos, but for 90° rotations would be very helpful.

12. Illustrator window should stay maximized when opening existing documents from Explorer

    What we want is simple, make it so that opening an Ai file from File Explorer does not change if Ai is in windowed mode, or fullscreen mode.

    This has been an issue for years that disrupts the workflow of users on a regular basis. Here is an old forum thread going back as far as June 2012 further detailing this ongoing issue: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1026020

    When opening an Ai file from File Explorer, Illustrator automatically Restores down to a window from Maximized mode. While the work-around, (of extending edges of Illustrator's window from edge-to-edge of the desired monitor), minimizes the impact of being reduced to windowed mode, many other users, including myself, still find ourselves re-Maximizing the window to fullscreen.

    Adobe, via Creative Cloud, recently launched the first round of 2019 Edition updates, and it would be greatly appreciated if this pesky and disruptive issue would be resolved at last.

    Thanks for your time.

14. Script for Data Merge from Excel into Illustrator

    I am looking for a way to import Excel data into specific layers in Adobe Illustrator CC 2017.

    Essentially to have the Excel data tables to link to different artboards and be able to be updated each time the file is opened or as needed. Assuming this would be some kind of script so one could just run the script again or a data merge process (similar to what is available in InDesign.

15. Make Mesh Envelope Distort work with linked images

    Since Free distort doesn't support images at all, both linked or embedded.
    I have to use envelope distortion each time I need to distort an image within AI.
    But I have to break link with image for this, because Envelope works only with embedded images sadly.

16. Add Shear and Taper to Transform Effect (or add as Warp effect)

    Shearing and tapering are ones of few operations that can't be automated procedurally.
    Using 'Free distort' is very inconvenient, because it works in small dialogue window that doesn't show actual artwork (it doesn't even have Preview tick! — I'll add another feature request about it). Although 'Stylism' plugin from AstuteGraphics solves problem with control, revision is definitely required.
    Shear tool and Free distort tool are fine, but they are live tools, and won't help to repeat same the effect later if needed.
    Please, add shearing and tapering either as part of Transform effect or new Warp (both as effect and envelope preset).

17. Add ability to rebind artboard names to their numbers

    In my work I add and delete artboards during work.
    When artboard is created, it's given a name, corresponding it's number.
    When custom artboard is deleted, numbers of next artboards are shifted (it's OK), but names stay the same.

    So when job is done, I can have something like this:
    1. Artboard 6
    2. Artboard 8
    3. Artboard 9
    4. Artboard 10
    5. Artboard 12
    and so forth

    Since the last number is almost as noticeable as first one, it's hard to pick up correct ones for export.
    I have a script written to fix this, which renames artboards to correspond their numbers, but it causes problem:
    When these artboards are exported, they automatically get their number at the end of file names, like this:
    [filename]-23.tif
    But if a script renames them, AI starts thinking about them as custom names, and files looks like this:
    [filename]-Artboard 22.tif

    And since I have other batch routines to work with specific filenames, I could have used a command that rebinds names to numbers without messing up export filename.

    In my work I add and delete artboards during work.
    When artboard is created, it's given a name, corresponding it's number.
    When custom artboard is deleted, numbers of next artboards are shifted (it's OK), but names stay the same.

19. Chromebook / ChromeOS compatibility

    My school is considering purchasing a laser cutter/engraver to be housed in the Library for all students to use, and I understand that we will also need to purchase software such as Adobe Illustrator. The problem is that many of our students use Chromebooks, which really don't have a hard drive. We're not in favor of just having 1 or 2 Windows machines sitting by the cutter/engraver, mostly because that limits usage. Is there any other option? Does Adobe offer a Chromebook-compatible software? Or, is there any way that a student could design something in another program, then import it into Adobe Illustrator to send it to the cutter/engraver?
    Or is it possible to use Adobe Illustrator on a Chromebook?

    If there's no other option, is Chromebook compatibility coming soon?

    Thoughts?

    Thank you!

20. An option to enable and use geometric centers for equilateral shapes (polygons)

    Please enable the option to use the geometrically correct centerpoint as the intersection of the edge-normals for odd-edged polygons instead of using the "half the height, half the width"-centerpoint, or at least enable it as an option. Drawing the circumference-circle really is annoying.

    Hello everyone,

    Lately we have been thinking about improving the snapping / smartguide experience on Illustrator and we need your help in this process.

    Please spare us some time of yours where we can come together on a online meeting and discuss your needs and pain point around snapping.
