1. Adobe Draw File Management

   I use Adobe Draw every day, and I keep all drawings for one project together in one file. There is no function to change the order that files or folders appear in the app, nor is there a search function, and and so if I am still working on a drawing I created yesterday in a folder that I opened 4 years ago, I have to visually search through hundreds of drawings every time I open the app or move back and forth through different projects.

   Pretty please, introduce either a 'sort by last opened' option, and/or a file/folder search function, and/or the capability to drag and drop the folders into the order you want to use them in, so the most frequently accessed one (active projects) can stay at the top.

   I mostly use Adobe Draw as a client-facing app for consultations, and it makes the user experience feel disorganized and slow.

   Thank you!

3. Allow to choose if the Save dialog should "remember the last file format used / PDF is set as a default filetype when saving a new document

   Ever since last update, if i save off a pdf and then create a brand new doc and go to save it, it goes to PDF automatically when it used to always default to .ai so i forget and get to the PDF options and then have to cancel and go back and retype my file name which is just annoying and remembering the last format is not helpful. Almost as annoying as PS trying to export in the last export location instead of the same folder as the .PSD --- NOT HELPFUL

   Hi everyone,

   In the latest BETA 30.0.21, we’ve improved the ‘Save As’ workflow.

   Now, instead of remembering the last used format, the default will always be .AI.

   We made this change to ensure that your files are consistently saved in the native Illustrator format, which is the most reliable option for preserving full editability.

   Please try out he changes by downloading the latest BETA from the Creative Cloud and let us know if it helps you or not.

4. Make the Illustrator Home Screen Responsive

   Problem:
   Right now, the Home screen is center-justified and fixed-width. On wide monitors, this creates huge blank space between the left sidebar and the file previews. Even worse, recent projects are hidden off-screen until the app window is stretched far enough. They don’t wrap, resize, or scroll, they just vanish.

   Why this sucks:
   Users with wide displays waste massive amounts of screen real estate.
   Important files appear to be “missing” unless you manually widen the window.
   The layout looks like an old webpage centered in a box, not professional software.

   Screenshots attached:
   Welcome screen: can’t see all projects unless window is widened.
   Expanded window: giant blank void in the middle, wasted space.

   Request:
   Left-align the project thumbnails with the sidebar.
   Allow thumbnails to wrap or scale to fit the window.
   Add scrollbars if content exceeds the viewport, instead of hiding files.
   (Optional) Give users the ability to choose how the grid is anchored: left, center, or responsive.

   This would make Illustrator feel modern and stop punishing users with large/wide monitors.

5. Add the ability to see recently inserted glyphs.

   Please add a way to see recently used glyphs in the glyphs panel. Something similar to the bottom row of Microsoft Office's "insert symbol" panel. It would be nice if there was a toggle to switch between those glyphs most recently inserted with the Illustrator app regardless of which .ai file they were inserted into and all of the glyphs that have been inserted into the current .ai file (ideally regardless of who inserted them to enable better collaboration).

6. Set default artboard name as file name

   Is it possible to have a setting in preferences to set the default artboard name as the file name?

   Generally I name all my artboards the "file nameCMYK" or "FilenamePantone" for exporting later and it's just a tedious extra step to have to go in and name EVERY artboard what I've already named the file instead of just tacking on a delineation.

7. Please let list of scripts displayed in File > Scripts get updated

   When I add or make changes to Scripts folder, I have to relaunch AI to make it see changes. How difficult it would be to add an option there to auto-update it, or just to add command 'Update scripts'?

8. [Script HELP] Import file to artboards and flatten transparency

   Hi, I'm looking for a script that can IMPORT files (AI, PDF, EPS) by inserting these files, or multipage PDFs, onto multiple illustrator tables in a connected way.
   Then let me select eg. from table 1 to 5 (of 200) and apply a preset registered in the CONVERT TRANSPARENCY panel.

   Can someone help me?

9. Auto-fill file name in search bar when re-linking / replacing missing links

   The process of replacing missing links could be less tedious if Illustrator would auto-fill the name of the file in the search bar of the file browser. For me, it is often easier to perform a search for the file name rather than navigating through multiple depths of folders. An option to auto-fill the file name rather than manually typing it would make this regular task much smoother.

   I regularly collaborate with other designers and am constantly re-linking files when someone else has created or edited the design file or when projects are re-organized. So the task of replacing missing links really adds up.

10. Save As PDF and PDF Export

    Illustrator is long overdue for PDF export. Without PDF export saving a PDF from Illustrator is an arduous, multi-step process that must be repeated every time. There is also a dangerous trap in the process that can make the user’s file uneditable. Compare this to InDesign, which has PDF export and all changes are sticky.

    Illustrator
    1. File > Save a copy,
    2. Change format to PDF,
    3. Remove “ copy” from filename,
    4. Change directory,
    5. Click Save,
    6. Enter PDF options,
    7. Click Save.

    InDesign
    1. File > Export,
    2. Click Export.

    Because all options in InDesign are sticky every export after the first will repeat the Settings, including directory, filename, and PDF options (even custom options that don’t use a preset).

    The danger is a user might choose Save As (instead of Save a copy) to save a PDF then not realize the file they continue to edit is a PDF without Illustrator editing turned on. Any changes made would be saved to the PDF portion of the file, but there would be no fully editable Illustrator portion to keep their work. It is a dangerous trap that can lose work. It is a disgrace that this can happen in a program that’s over 30 years old.

    Completed (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The solution is pushed into Global Availability build 28.6.

    PDF is now available as type in File > Export > Export As dialog.

    
    

    However, File > Adobe PDF Presets menu, similar to one InDesign has, to allow even quicker export, is absent still.

    If you want to have it, please upvote this new request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48670088

11. Having '.2' at the end of a filename makes Save As dialog drop actual file type when saving

    I need to save multiple Files withe Pos.1, Pos.2, Pos.3 etc.. Every time i want to save a file with the filename ".2" at the end wil not save the file.. In the Explorer will be the file but in a unreadable file type.

    It turns out some application added '.2' as a file type, and Ai had to comply with it when auto-completing file names in OS-managed dialog.

12. Disable Layer Search in Layers Window

    Illustrator v 27.7

    Mac Studio 2022

    Mac OS 13.5.1 (22G90)

    Please allow for disabling the layer search function. The Layers window search field randomly activates, especially when opening new files from a template and when opening exitisting files to make revisions. This is incredibly frustrating. For example; when I open a file and try to select the type tool by hitting the T key, I just end up typing a line of T's in the layer search bar. When the search function is active it appears as if there are layers missing in the file, making it difficult to find layers and objects. It is making too much extra time and work just clicking around to navigate my own files. Please remedy this with the option to remove/disable this feature from the Layers window. Thanks, Adobe

13. Auto opening a layered illustrator file in photoshop as layered smart objects.

    I create my original illustration files in vector format and in layers in Adobe Illustrator. I then copy each layer to its own artboard and save off an Ai file with the multiple layers converted to artboards, I then manually place these artboards as individual linked smart layers in Photoshop to ensure a non-destructive and combined Vector/Bitmap workflow/solution between Ai and PS.

    This is a LOT of manual work each time, Photoshop SHOULD be able to open a simple and layered Illustrator file automatically like this in this non-destructive manner.

    Saving off as a layered PSD file from Ai rasterises as does the new cut and paste layers between Ill/photoshop feature.

    Even a pre-made and supplied script for each piece of software would help.

    The workflow between Ill and Ae with layers is great and works, the workflow between Ai and PS is an unnecessary mess by comparison while working via artboards instead of layers.

14. Multiple recover file management

    AI feature that allows to save multiple recover files separately.
    (The user decides how many copies of recovery to have, could be a single one or many).
    for example, in case I want three copies of recovery that saves separately every X minutes.
    recover1 saves every 30 minutes
    recover2 saves every 10 minutes
    recover3 saves every 2 minutes
    This would help to recover previous versions of the same file.

    Additonally an option to save backups:
    Save a copy every X minutes.
    For example: Save a copy every 60 minutes.
    This is not a recovery file, but a copy that is saved for the file, it does not changes after saved.

    Also, AI should make recover files more accessible, it is hard to find the folder that contains it.
    Allow the user to chose the path of the recovery folder. (Where the recover files are stored).
    (Same thing for backups)

    This would reduce the chances of a major bug crash that might keep the recovery file crashing. (If this happens the user would have additional previous versions of the file to chose).

15. Retrieving an unsaved file

    Enable an option to retrieve a file within a certain time period, that was closed but not saved. This would be useful when a file is closed in error. This happened to me and I lost a days work. Silly error but easily done as I had a swatch box obscuring the file tab and closed it by mistake. Unfortunately because I then tried to reopen the file, the snapshot in the data recovery file was the re opened unsaved version so I had lost all of the previous 4 hours work.
    Therefore, if it was possible that AI could have a memory recall option of 15 minutes, it would allow someone to re open and save their work or maybe if AI could spot that a lot of work has been created but not saved- could it ask twice if you definitely want to close the file without saving?!
    Thanks

16. ADD "Relink to Folder..." to the Links panel as in InDesign

    We have long kept an asset folder named The__PIT that has 1 copy of every file that has ever made it through Production so that if we bring up an InDesign IDML or INDD from any time in our history, ALL links are immediately restored using "Relink to Folder...". We need this same functionality with Illustrator. I understand that InDesign is a data based software and Illustrator is not. I also see that Illustrator does retain the file name though (which, as is noted in many other similar requests, does nothing as far as selecting a match within a CC Library)... Anyhow, isn't this enough info already to incorporate a one at a time "Relink to folder..." task? Definitely faster than relinking one at a time through a chooser. And still could be done all at once with a delimited internal array of multiple selected file names.

    ThePIT has been one of my favorite additions to our workflow. It keeps duplication to a minimum (asset either filed or in ThePIT), repopulates assets whether the indd is from 2009 or 2020, and it allows us to archive all our indd's as idml's which are like 20x smaller & we never have to worry about relinking thanks to "Relink to Folder..." & The__PIT!

    Illustrator layouts are becoming more popular at our agency and to have this functionality added to Illustrator would greatly improve efficiency, get all team members to adopt the same workflow, and free up tons of space compared to dev that is package based.

    Our agency isn't large enough and doesn't have enough free people time to merit a full Adobe DAM solution. We are small & nimble AND outputting 5x the content we were capable of 5 years ago with the same number of staff, thanks in part to The_PIT and some other scripts and procedures I've implemented.

    My agency closely guards the workflow methods I've enacted as they give us a clear advantage over other agencies. Our clients say as much.

    Diminishing the gap in cross functionality between Adobe applications is crucial. The same features will never equate to the same usage. The Adobe apps are differentiated as much by personal preference, if not more, than anything else. It's only when a project in an app can't do something that's possible in another & moving the elements to the other app doesn't help either that the software shows its weakness. You can't copy and paste or drag and drop a placed graphic with a broken link from Illustrator to InDesign and retain a link that could be resolved by "Relink to Folder..." You can't do "Relink to Folder..." in Illustrator. There's no efficient resolution.

    As to why I wouldn't just select "Relink..." and browse The__PIT...
    That folder has thousands of files in it, it takes a seriously long time for the files to display in Finder. And sometimes, either by fault of OSX or Adobe's browse, the files don't display at all. You get the same result in InDesign if you try "Relink..." BUT with "Relink to Folder..." it's nearly instant. Even a document with more than 100 images. I guess it's the difference between Browse and relink compared to the data action of "GET in this folder, the file named this" which happens with "Relink to Folder..."

    Please respond with comments.

17. Overprint simulation on image file exports (JPEG for example)

    I think that it would add great value when Illustrator exports to image file the option to add overprint simulation, in the same way as InDesign easily does.
    I would add great benefit to our jobs and would simplify some steps (not going to InDesign just to do that).

18. Batch File Processing to PDF (Non-Illustrator Default Like PDF-x4)

    In Photoshop, you have the option to File > Scripts > Image Processor — from there, you can then take a PSD File and batch through a folder of files and change them to a JPEG, PSD, or TIFF while simultaneously running an action through them.

    I propose that we introduce something like photoshops Image Processor where in illustrator you can select File > Scripts > File Processor where you have the option to change an entire folder of AI files into PDF's, SVG's, or EPS's.

    Once you click "Run" (like you would in photoshop) it would batch through an entire folder of AI files and convert them into the specified file format.

19. Add "Crop Image Data to Frames" option to PDF Export (after first adding PDF Export).

    InDesign can crop image data to frames, which can significantly shrink PDF files. Why is this long existing InDesign feature missing from Illustrator? Please add it. There is no excuse.

20. Illustrator cannot export as targa (TGA) as individual artboards and with transparent backgrounds

    I would love to be able to export individual artboards as targa files with a transparent background.
