1. Why are PDFs from illustrator so much larger than from INDD?

   I could have the same layout in illustrator and in INDD, use the same export settings, and illustrator PDFs are always super big. Maybe it's because they hold data from artboards that weren't included in export. I've tried opening the PDFs back into Illustrator to delete unnecessary artboards, and random stuff on pasteboard. I've tried deleting all hidden layers. Rasterizing masked photos doesn't work either. I could have a 4meg pdf from INDD, or one from AI would be 80megs. Thanks for considering.

2. Show thumbnails in Artboards panel

   I would love to be able to see a thumbnail of the artboard in the Artboard panel (similar to how you can for layers) I often have many artboards and would like to move them into a certain orders visually — not just by name.

3. When using direct select tool to adjust anchor points and handles, keep all anchor points and handles visible

   When using direct select tool to adjust anchor points and handles, please keep ALL anchor points and handles visible, as opposed to everything disappearing but the point/handle you are working with. It is impossible and frustrating to try to join/snap to anchor points, or adjust points or handles relative to other points or handles when you can’t see them!. Thank you!

4. Double clicking a gradient should open the gradient editor

   When a gradient is clicked in the toolbar's Fill Stroke Controls, the Fill turns black, in stead of opening the gradient editor.
   Why? It's not of any use, and contra intuitive.

   Please open the gradient editor whenever a gradient is double clicked.

6. Allow Users to Change the Default Save Location Behavior

   In other production software, there is a preferences setting that allows users to change whether the program will open the file explorer relative to the current file's save location or to remember where it was last opened to.
   This feature is sorely missing from Illustrator and causes me loads of headaches when exporting assets for multiple clients in rapid succession.
   To make things worse, if you use the Asset Export window (Export for Screens), the "Export to:" filepath will prepopulate to the last location that that particular file saved to. If you click the folder icon to the right of it, you would expect the file explorer to open in that directory. But it does not. Instead, it opens in the last place Illustrator exported assets to, regardless of the active file.
   This is counterintuitive, and I often have to backtrack to find assets that I for sure thought I exported, but turns out they were sent to a seemingly random folder.
   Please let us choose whether or not Illustrator will open the file browser relative to the active file's location or whether Illustrator will remember where it last saved a file regardless of active file.

8. New Align Setting: "Align to Nearest Artboard" (Smart Artboard Awareness)

   Illustrator’s "Align to Artboard" should be viewport-aware.

   Currently, if I’m zoomed in on Artboard 10 but Artboard 1 is technically "active," objects fly off-screen to Artboard 1 when I hit align. This is counter-intuitive and forces a constant cycle of "Undo" (Ctrl+Z) and manual clicking to re-activate the correct board.

   Proposed Solution:
   Add a setting for "Align to Nearest/Visible Artboard." The software should automatically align to the artboard the user is currently looking at or the one the object is physically overlapping, without requiring a manual click to "activate" it first.

   Make the alignment tool smart enough to understand the user's current context.

9. Continuous Line via Length and Angle

   Create a variant of the line tool that you can continuously add a segment via entering length and angle in a tool options dialogue box. It would stay open and follow you around on your screen until you click okay/finish/done. Just a small box with length and angle options.

10. Support Artboard Background Fill Color when saving to Cloud (.aic)

    1. Windows 11
    2. 30.2.1
    3. Create an .ai document and change the fill color of an artboard. Save it locally (still .ai). Close and Reopen it and observe the fill color is the same. Now save that document to the cloud (.aic). Close and Reopen it and observe the fill color is reset to transparent.
    4. I expect the artboard fill color to stay the same when saving as an .aic, just like it does as an .ai
    5. Attached

    I tried to troubleshoot it through the Illustrator Discord channel - https://discord.com/channels/634884897185595412/637037500451258369/1476316280947474583

11. In the Font Palette, under Filters, please add English, or Latin, or Western European Roman. PLEASE!!!

    The lack of a Western European or Roman filter is insanely stupid. The way it works now, if I want to work in Burmese, I can have a nice short font list. But if I want to work in English, I have to show ALL LANGUAGES, so I wind up with a list of 400 fonts, most of which are unusable. This seems prejudicial, if not negligent. Why on earth was this obvious filter item excluded????

    Added to Backlog  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    As per the team, they do understand that it’s an issue for folks working across multiple languages.

    In Illustrator, however, the font filtering is based on script, not a simple language grouping. Hence it’s not very straight forward to do for Latin. There is no concrete plan or timeline to make it resolved, but it’s now added to the backlog.

    Thank you all for raising this up. Feel free to share more thoughts, do report, request, comment, and upvote — this really helps to steer the development.

12. Temporary multi-object alignment without grouping

    In Figma, holding Shift temporarily allows selected objects to be treated as a single unit when performing alignment actions (e.g., aligning to the artboard). This avoids the hassle of grouping and then ungrouping the objects. Can we have the same functionality in Illustrator as well?

13. A mode for Free Transform tool to hug selected points tightly

    Affinity has Transform mode for selected points (see the GIF).
    Figma recently announced a similar thing — https://x.com/figma/status/2018778936482935124

    Illustrator meanwhile allows to use Scale, Rotate, and other dedicated transform tools for a partial selection. No bounding box is allowed when Direct Selection is active.
    We can pick Free Transform and use a familiar frame to transform the partial selection... but this frame hugs the entire object. This can be useful in some cases, but not that handy in others -—like when you need to work with a rather small part of a larger artwork.
    Perhaps there should be a way to may the frame hug the selection snuggly?

15. Please bring back the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026

    My team uses the Adobe cloud to store and share files across the team. Looking up for older files shared is now very inconvenient as the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026 has been removed.

    Please bring it back.

16. Share for Review entire drawing area

    It would be great if you could choose to either share for review in Illustrator artboard by artboard (as exists now) or to share the entire pasteboard/drawing area so a reviewer could see all of the artboards at once. View the file exactly as the author sees it, akin to how Figma does it. Sometimes the finished area is helpful for review. Other times, such as early in the design phase when you're really just ideating, sharing the whole mess makes more sense. I currently screenshot the whole thing, but that makes commenting harder.

19. Função Encostar

    Deveria ser adicionada a função "ENCOSTAR" para não ter que ficar mexendo as coisas com o mouse pra elas ficarem ENCOSTADAS
