Make color choosing UI consistent
I never like it when the big color chooser with the square color gradient and numeric fields pop up.
Why does it exist?
Would like to have a user preference to choose the color picker in stead of having Illustrator to popup with several different color mixers.When double clicking the stroke or fill color, the big unusefull (imho) thing pops up, when clicking a swatch, a compact mixer pops up.
For me, it would be nice to construct my own combination of color mixers: RGB and HSB in 1 view, with sliders, without the big picking gradient, without cmyk, without hex. And with a context sensitive button 'Add to Swatches'.

Avoid text converted to outlines when opening PDF
[Previous discussions in https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/avoid-text-converted-to-outlines-when-opening-pdf/m-p/15352684]
Currently Adobe Illustrator automatically and arbitrarily converts text parts to outlines, making these parts not editable nor selectable.
It's not related to fonts, because that font is on my computer, and, other text parts that has exactly the same font are editable and not converted.
It's just because of the code point. For example, in term
∀𝑥, the ∀ (U+2200) is editable and 𝑥 (U+1D465) is converted to outline. I really dislike this arbitrary behaviour. If compatibility is considered critical, the program should at least give an option to allow us the users to choose whether to convert them to outlines[Previous discussions in https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/avoid-text-converted-to-outlines-when-opening-pdf/m-p/15352684]

Allow to change the color of a 3D material without editing it in Substance
Die Änderung der Materialfarben für die 3D-Darstellung in Illustrator funktioniert nicht - insbesondere die Farbänderung ist nicht möglich. Hier muss mann immer umständlich neue Farben in Substance anlegen :/
Changing the material colors for the 3D rendering in Illustrator doesn't work—especially changing the color isn't possible. You always have to laboriously create new colors in Substance :/

I wish there were a guide window in the illustration showing where I am right now.
It would be helpful if the illustration had a guide or indicator showing my current location.

Motor de texto vertical
I would like it to be possible to edit the text in vertical format, I explain.
I have a text in horizontal format which I can modify in every possible way, but I am working on a project that uses a custom typography and requires vertical writing, the problem is that when changing to vertical format the writing direction changes from right to left.
the idea is that the reader can read from top to bottom, but in the same direction from left to right.
i have looked for a way to change the orientation of the vertical writing direction but it has not been possible, certainly you can change the alignment and distribution, but not the direction in which it writes.
this has been translated with google.

Toggling left click mode
Can we have a toggle feature that controls left-click on and off by just clicking once for activation and once again for deactivation? I think it would be a cool idea to add this as an option because it would allow a default trackpad to be a more accessible tool for longer drawing projects (ie. blob brush work) without exhausting your fingers. Makes the overall program more accessible, too. I would rather be clicking once than holding and dragging my finger on the trackpad. I got the idea from video games that have toggle buttons for lots of monotonous tasks.

Align By and Align To separate per object aligned
Current alignment in Illustrator is barely sufficient. I should be able to align any object or path by any point to any object or path by any point.
Perhaps if you created an alignment tool that allows us to select not only the alignment objects, but the points for each object to align by then your alignment methods would be so much more robust.
Using the align tool would create a list of alignment participants on a slide-out panel. When selecting an element to align, you would pick from one of the 9 reference points or click anywhere on the object to create a custom alignpoint. Then when you were done selecting elements, you would pick the alignment method (align Horizontal) and all of those elements would be aligned by the point you selected. What's more is that you could save this "alignment strategy" to realign those elements by those reference points later using a simple action. Hit me up for more details on this if you are interested.
Think of an alignment point as the alignment equivalent of a transform point with 9 positions.

Ferramenta parametrica para a manipulação de vetories com nodes não destrutiva
Acho que o illustrator deveria ter ferramentas de manipulação de vetories e objetos mais profunda. Utilizo softwares como autodesk maia, autodesk 3ds max, blender e houdini no pontualmente em minhas criações e eles tem uma abordagem muito interessante de manipulação 3d de vetores bem complexa.
Além de que, o Illustrator é uma ferramenta muito utilizada por profissionais de branding para criações de logo, ou seja, exige que a forma criada seja o mais unica possível. Uma ferramenta paramentrica, por exemplo, que fizesse modificações como transformações em um objeto através de nodes complexos seria muito interessante.

Issue with Hidden Layers Exporting in PNG Format
Hello. I am experiencing an issue with Illustrator when exporting my files to PNG format using artboards. Specifically, the exported PNG includes layers that are hidden and not displayed on the screen at the time of export. This issue does not occur when I export all the artwork or only selected artworks.
Here are the details:
Software Version: 29.3.1
Operating System: Windows 11 24H2
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the Illustrator file.
Hide certain layers.
Export the file to PNG format using artboard and have transparent background.
Check the exported PNG file.
Despite hiding the layers before exporting, they still appear in the final PNG. This issue is affecting my workflow and the accuracy of my exported files.Could you please investigate this issue and provide a solution or workaround? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support!

Bring in PDF's without changing the formatting
PDF's, sometimes, when brought in, NOT as an image, but embedded, changes font style widths, etc. This was another issue for me, with a client who built their file in ID and saved as a PDF and I brought it in and embedded it. I did not catch it, but it's clearly changed. I have the font, so that was not an issue, it just change the "BOLD" to "REGULAR". Picture attached shows the "original" PDF as a pic on the right. I have it at 50% opacity as I was comparing.

Offer more control for managing Profile Mismatching per image
Profile mismatch alerts are given per each linked image, and the choices offered don’t allow to control this efficient enough.
Please give us these things:
1 - Ability to hide alerts in bulk
It would be helpful if, like with other features, there could be a checkbox option for “Apply this action to all future alerts” to handle this.2 - Clear indication of which image the alert is referring to
There may be cases where you’d want to fix a linked image with an irregular color setting, so the following detailed options might be useful:
— A “Details” button displayed in the alert dialog
— Clicking “Details” would show a list of linked files with different color settings
— The ability to convert the color settings of the selected or all linked files to the color settings of the current file
— Since linked images are often reused within the same project, this feature would be convenient as it would prevent errors when the linked images are used in other files as well.

Find circle from a given arc
A tool that, when clicking on a previously created arc, would calculate and give the circle whose circumference that arc is part of; this would enable easier amendments, recreation etc. Can sometimes be done by trial and error, but not always accurately, particularly with 'shallow' arcs for which the circle can be surprising large - difficult to know buy just increasing size, moving centre, repeating etc.

Do you have a timeframe for these applications to become compatible?

Recolor Artwork with Color Theory / Harmony
A selectable feature to automatically recolor artwork using standard color theory harmonies like Complementary, Analogous, Monochromatic, Triadic, and Tetradic positioned within Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork.
This would allow users to quickly explore different, harmonized color schemes for their designs.
