Add a setting to make horizontal scrolling / zoom with mouse wheel match operating system
In Windows, holding shift while scrolling scrolls horizontally and holding ctrl while scrolling zooms in / out.
I would like to be able to the same behavior in InDesign so I do not have to consciously change how I navigate documents when using adobe products

Eye dropper tool not functioning on IPad 3.0.2
Eye dropper tool is not working on iPad 3.0.2 (the latest version.)
Selecting a colour on an art board or photo with the eyedropper does not produce a matching colour, it only removes the existing colour of an object. Please could you let me know if this is a bug, or how to workaround this issue?1 vote -
Safety
Can you add a safety margin in the same way as there is the ability to add a bleed guide? Like it has in InDesign

Support Layered TIFF Files
Why cant I open a layered TIFF File in illustrator without first converting and loosing content in the process to a PSD they are very similar with a TIFF file actually being a preferable option for a lot of work for a lot of years it is disappointing you need 3 different versions of an ADOBE product to produce one piece of work? Does anyone have a work around for this I have read conflicting reports with nothing I have tried currently working!! HELP

Improving Action tool for moving and copying objects\group of objects
As a fashion designer I make a lot of technical sketches in Adobe Illustrator daily.
Usually garments are symmetrical and to save my time and make my working process more convenient I learned how to move and reflect an object exactly to the centre of the other half in 6 steps. But it is a lot of steps, so when I tried to record an action with all steps it didn't work correctly with other objects.
I did and attached a small presentation to explain what I do and why action doesn't work. Please update the action tool that we could use in cases like mine.

Extend student discount to the length of their education. Anything less will send young creatives to competing software
I love Adobe but as a student I can’t afford full price software prior to getting a job. Id love to enter the job market with a proficient and high level understanding of your creative suite. This lack of keeping student engaged with Adobe will push these young creatives to other software platforms. You loss next to nothing keeping students engages with Adobe product throughout their education and could gain life time users

Option to permanently add a brush to every opened document
I often use very specific custom made brush in an Operation. Adding panel with library containing this brush does not help - I have to click on it in every document before starting the operation. Option to permanently add a brush to every opened document would be splendid. Or at least to incorporate that into Operation. (no, using paste in operation doesn't work)

3rd party software developer that provides product cost analysis of sketches output from Adobe Illustrator
I am looking for a 3rd party software that can analyze a sketch drawn in AI for product cost. Are there developers out there that have created something to analyze for cost?

Selecting colors in my color library isn't working, even if object is selected
Suddenly, I'm unable to change the fill or stroke color of my selected object via my color library like I always do. I attached a video showing my attempts. I have no idea what happened, because it was working just fine a few hours ago.

Export GPU Quality Images
Because of the difference between CPU and GPU preview, what you see is not what you get on export. Lines are weaker, and lack texture. I would like a feature similarly to overprint feature, to export GPU quality images. See post describing the issue: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-can-i-export-as-gpu-quality-not-cpu/td-p/10649456

Neon glow effect in illustrator should be simple, we should be able to do in single click like that we do in canva
can we use scripting
// Suppress the warning dialog that appears when running external scripts
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);// Select the first layer
var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];// Create a new offset path effect
var myOffsetEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.OFFSET_PATH);// Set the offset distance and angle
myOffsetEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // distance
myOffsetEffect.property(2).setValue(0); // angle// Create a new Gaussian Blur effect
var myBlurEffect = myLayer.effects.add(EffectKind.GAUSSIAN_BLUR);// Set the blur radius
myBlurEffect.property(1).setValue(10); // radius// Set the blending mode to Screen
myLayer.blendingMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;// Set the opacity to 50%
myLayer.opacity = 50;1 vote -
It would be very useful if we could get text format from above the picture

Offline Patch download (msp file)
I hate calling this a "new idea". We have offline systems running the "FRL" versions of Acrobat Std and Illustrator. There is a patch site (though hard to find) to download the offline msp updater for acrobat. I was just instructed via support chat that an offline patch doesn't exist for illustrator, and that I have to go back into my admin console and generate a new package installer to bring on. That's a lot of extra work for something as simple as patching.

Create a ISE file system for Gradient management (ASE for AI only)
create the possibility to export gradients as lib !
I understand why ASE does not work with gradients (while it could be the case if ASE would accept more than one value per swatch but whatever..)
I'd be nice to create ISE fileformat for example (ASE for AI only) to be able to have an actual gradient lib file.
bluegradients.ISE
Redgradients.ISE
EtcThe state of gradient management feels very much not polished from the adobe side of things, so please, work on that ...
and have a look at Astute gradient forge
If you actually care about Fixing your BASE PROGRAM before implementing fancy stuff most people don't care
