1. Export for Screen Preset system is a FIASCO

   As comments for this thread are closet, I start a new one.
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32015539-custom-presets-for-asset-export-export-for-scree

   This Preset thing is a disaster. It doesn't fix any issues I have with Export For Screens.

   It doesn't save the Folder for the export. So I have to set it every time I open my document, as Illustrator set it to the same folder as where my AI document is. This was, and now still is, my major problem with Export for Screens.

   Also, I have to select the Preset every time I open my AI file. The least I was hoping was that the settings would be saved on document basis.

   Management of presets is terrible, as you can't edit those. And it is getting quite messy when you need just a little bit more presets.

   It is impossible to export PNGs with both white and transparent background at same time, as that option is in PNG options, that will affect all the exported files. How can you make such a stupid system?

   I waited years for this updated and now I'm very disappointed. It baffles me how the developers managed to deliver such a terrible solution for simple problems.

   It seems that Illustrator developers are just incapable of understanding what users require. Possible solutions for these issues have been given many times in several threads.

   How a developer size of Adobe can fail so majestically when trying to implement some basic functionality. What The F they are doing there? Do you have the slightest idea how your apps should work?

   I sincerely hate Adobe.

2. Printing one artboard multiple times on one sheet

   It would be very beneficial to have a feature that allows you to save a pdf with multiple copies of your artboard on one sheet with cut marks. Something similar to the attached screenshot (that was manually created).

3. Reduce the shortening / truncating of color swatch names when in list view

   Remove the color type from the right column of the color swatch menu which would result in more space for the color name and ultimately less truncation of color names.
   The color type; spot, process or global is already indicated by a dot or triangle on the thumbnail on the left. It doesnt need to be indicated again on the right. If this was eliminated, there would be more space for the color names.
   The color mode isnt important. Book, cmyk or RGB - it doesnt matter to users when searching this list. RGB or CMYK is already apparent as is dictated by the document's color mode. Book colors are easily identified by the brand name in the color swatch name.

   If this was done, it would net twice as much space for the color names.
   Overall, I rank this low priority, but much of AI's menus are inefficient and tend to clutter my workspace . Im constantly widening and narrowing this particular palette.
   Perhaps this could be addressed as part of a global UI strategy in the multi-threaded future.

4. set pdf content active as helpers/rules when imported

   As it's convenient to keep links to reference file, it's sometimes mandatory to attach/align new shape to points/path of the imported shape.
   but by default the pdf content is not "live". it would be valuable to have this content live as it's possible for Glyphs or symbols...
   Many Thanks

5. Export 3D elements with ALL of the faces separated.

   Please give us the ability to export 3D elements created in Ai with ALL of the faces separately (bevels, extrusion, front/back), so that they can be colored or textured individually. It would be very valuable and save time to have this in one app, just as is/was in Ps. thank you!

6. Keep the organizational structure of Libraries the same between Adobe apps

   I have put a lot of work organizing my libraries in Photoshop it would be nice if that organization structure would translate across all Adobe apps with libraries. Not have to organize my assets again in every program.

   We need all active Illustrator buttons with a blue color background like Illustrator on iPad. Sometimes it's hard to find black on a dark interface.

8. Can you add the option to make a multipage pdf from the variable dataset export? Needed for compatibility with printing software

   Currently when exporting vardatasets, you get a single page pdf per dataset.
   When making stickers some printing software cannot apply printing and contour cutting on multiple images.
   I would be nice if the datasets can export a multipage pdf, or if an action can be made that creates artboards from datasets instead of exporting.

10. Some way to control the mesh density of generated 3D objects?

    I'm using Illustrator to turn some 2D drawings into 3D objects which I export as OBJ/GLTF to other software. The process is really quick and simple, and produces very smooth and clean mesh objects, however... I'm having trouble with the total lack of control over the geometry density/resolution of the generated 3D model.
    I've experimented with increasing the number of anchor points and size of the drawing to see if I would get a 3D model made of more polygons and vertices, but had no success.
    It would be amazing if there was a proper way to control the generated 3D mesh density. For instance, maybe a dropdown next to a Mesh Density input with a High, Medium and Low option (using the current built-in mesh density as a Medium position)? Thanks.

11. Use Typographer's Quotes should be more accessible

    "Use Typographer's Quotes" should be added to the Character palette to make it more easily accessible. Sometimes I'm designing a document that uses typographer's quotes, but most of the time I work with documents that reference dimensions in feet and inches, so I need to be able to switch back and forth between typographer's quotes and straight quotes quickly.

    In addition to that, "Use Typographer's Quotes" should be moved from File > Document Setup to Illustrator > Settings > Type to match the way Photoshop and InDesign do it.

    The Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign teams (and probably others, but those are the three apps I use the most) should get together and decide if they want to use to word "Settings" or "Preferences" to describe the same thing. Apple recently changed from using "Preferences" to using "Settings", so that's probably the one to use, at least on macOS.

12. Why can't I save Swatches in L*a*b* format except as Spot Color?

    Why can't I save Swatches in Lab* format except as Spot colors?
    This is unique to Adobe Illustrator, unfortunately, and such a thorn in the side of a device-independent color management workflow. Please resolve.

13. Menu TYPE no Illustrator

    Creio que seria muito interessante inverter a ordem no Menu Type:
    "Fontes Recentes" ficar antes da opção "Fontes".
    Porquê:
    Ao levar o ponteiro do mouse para o menu "Fontes Recentes", quase sempre o mouse atinge a opção "Fontes", o que trava momentaneamente o programa (carregando as fontes). Então, o que deveria ser uma coisa rápida, prática, acaba ficando lenta. A troca na ordem dessas opções acabaria com esse incoveniente.

14. Remove size limitation on playing tutorial videos in the Discovery window

    Illustrator allows playing tutorial videos in the Discover panel (Help > Tutorials). However, the size of the video is constrained by the width constraint on the Discovery window. There is no apparent way to enlarge the video big enough to see the detail in the video to follow along with the tutorial. Tutorial videos should be able to be enlarged up to full screen. Many videos only appear to be accessible now through the in-app tutorial.

16. Ability to see the size of elements in terms of KB/MB to easily find cause of file bloat

    When trying to strip down a file, it would be really useful to be able to see which effects in particular are bloating the file. For example - I had a file with a load of boxes with a glow effect applied to them. I thought I had undone all of this but the size of the file was still over 40mb. I had to dig through all the boxes again in the appearence panel to see that there were two instances of a rasterize effect that i'd missed. when i deleted those the file size went down by over 20 mb. If there was an option to view the kb/mb these elements take up that would be really helpful. It's not an issue I've run into before but when having to make 40 files as light as possible to work with a huge indesign document this would speed things up so much

17. Umlaute

    In den Adobe Programmen ist es sehr umständlich Umlaute zu verwenden wenn man mit dem Mac arbeitet. In der Regel ist es so, dass man z.B. ä, ö und ü bilden kann in dem man lange auf die Tasten a, o und u drückt. Dann öffnet sich ein Kontextmenü in dem man den gewünschten Umlaut auswählen kann. Leider ist die Verwendung von Umlauten nur mit komplizierten Shortcuts möglich. Hier ist dringend eine Verbesserung nötig!

18. Allow us to set a custom scale instead of having only one 1/10 through Large Canvas

    I know there is already a massive discussion around this topic, but I had an idea this morning. The "Large Artboard" that is now available as far as I can tell is not truly a new massive artboard. It's just doing 1:10 scale math for you automatically. I see underneath the hood when using my vinyl cutter for example. A file sent to the cutting software sees everything at 10% size. Another example is when copy/paste from large artboard to a normal board, it will come in at 10% size.
    Here's my suggestion: Instead of having a single large artboard option, what if we could just set the scale we need to work within the 227" limit. If I could set my scale to 1:100 then I could build my banners at "full size" but in reality Illustrator is just doing the math for me.

19. Ask to update links... for current document

    I remember now why I turned off ask user to update links... because it comes up for documents that are open but not being worked on. Can you fix it so it only asks when you go to that document?

    Here's an example: I'm working on multiple concepts that are placed as links into a presentation document. Each concept, and the presentation doc are open. When I make a change to one of the concept docs, the dialog box to update the links pops up. 1. it doesn't tell me what document has the updated links. 2. it won't let me go to that document without dismissing it. and 3. it's not the active document that has the updated links.

    I hope you can see how ask before updating is sort of broken.

20. Copy images from the web and paste them directly in Illustrator

    Please, guys, let us copy images from the web or our OS and paste them directly into Illustrator as Figma does.

    In general...can you look at everything that Figma does when it comes to UX and take inspiration from there? I think there's a lot of room for improvement when it comes to UX in Adobe products :D

    Thanks in advance!
