1. Share for Review wish list

   This function is long overdue and I am loving it. However, as someone who uses it multiple times a day, every day, I think there are a couple of things I think could make it better.
   1. The ability to group files together in the same link.
   I'm not a fan of "writing over" an existing file so that I can click on "update content". That is ok for small changes, but when the client is asking for significant updates/changes, I prefer to save a new file named "rev 1" or something similar. This then requires me to get a whole new link for them. It would be nice to not have to do this.
   2. When I update a file, it would be cool if the viewer was automatically notified instead of me having to send another email to them with the new link (or notification that it's ready) each time. Maybe this would require the capability of emailing direct from Illustrator in order for it to work but I'm not sure. I have also tried adding the new link to the comments or just telling the client in the comments that it's ready but that doesnt seem to notify them. Which brings me to my next point.
   3. When I mark a comment as "resolved" or I comment back, the client is not notified of such actions. It would be great if they got the emails the same way I do. I have clients who are both signed in a s guests and have Adobe accounts who never received notifications from me.
   4. The ability to see previous versions.
   I have used other proofing software that allows the viewer to be able to see a previous version and compare it to the new version. That would be super handy.
   5. A space to write notes. Be that about size, colours, etc... Each artboard should have a space.

   I realize that this is asking a lot of a program that is currently in beta. However, if adobe is trying to offer more to their clients, these things would be quite helpful.

2. Version history to log a new version upon opening old file

   As of now, Version History deletes old versions after 30 days unless it was marked manually, which is fine and makes sense. However, as you open a more-than-30-days-old file that was not marked and you modify it beyond your History limit, there is no way you can revert back to the original file, at least if you have the autosave enabled, which is to be expected.

   I therefore suggest to automatically log a version as you open a file that didn't contain any (more than 30 days old...)

3. Allow to locally customize the assets from CC library within a document, similar to components in Figma

   I'm working for a company who makes workwear and we're having an issue with the creative cloud library.

   We've made al of these symbols in the creative cloud libraries, but we've seen that we can't manipulate these in 1 document.

   For example, we're making a coat.
   First we take the front out of the library, then the sleeves and a pocket.
   We see that it is impossible to change these objects in this new document.
   These drawings from the library are added in the document like pictures, that's why we can't colour them for example.
   We obviously don't want to change the symbol in the library, because that would change all the files where it is in.

   Maybe it's interesting to add an option like this in Illustrator, there would be much more possibilities in the future.

4. Save Vector Artboards by Clipping Vector Art to the Artboard

   I need for vector artboards to be fully clipped to the artboard when saving as PDF and/or any other vector format. I have vector artwork for large format printing that I have cropped into many artboards in the same file. When I save individual artboards as PDF, any lines that extend outside the artboard are still available in the saved PDF file when opened in Illustrator. I need artboards to truly clip the vector artwork or I need another solution to this issue. Clipping masks do not actually clip vector artwork, in Outline Mode, the entire artwork is still there. The scissor and knife tools are painfully time consuming. Why is there no way to save just the data that you want to save?

5. How to open multi-page pdf in Illustrator on their newly-created artboards

   Hello,
   I have to place multi-page pdf's on a daily basis at work. The File, Open command let's me choose a pdf file and select which pages to open in Illustrator. It even has the option of opening them as links. This is great! Now, would it be possible to have Illustrator create artboards and populate them with pages from the pdf file? Perhaps through a dialog box? Thank you for your time!

6. Zoom Tool Controls (Fit to Screen)

   Can we make the Zoom Tool have the same Control settings as the Zoom Tool in Photoshop? I design in Large Scale Canvas Files. I like to design Art for Shirt Prints/Broadcasting Graphics for Entertainment Usage/Graphics for Sports Teams.

   This means a lot of Re-Scaling Images after put into the documents. When I Re-Scale the images and go to position them. I need to Zoom In onto the destination of the image's positioning.
   After I position that image. I can go back to Full-Size Image. But, I have to go to my Magnifier % at the bottom of my program to adjust the scale of the image in my work space?
   Why can't I just have the Zoom Tool active and do "Right Click > Fit To Screen" like I can in Photoshop?
   If there was a way to bring the Zoom Tool Settings from Photoshop over to Illustrator. This will make for easier navigation in the work flow of your projects.

   Indeed, Illustrator does not have 'Fit to Screen' option in the context menu for the Zoom tool.

   But it provides other ways to do that:

   View > Fit Artboard in Window (Cmd/Ctrl + 0)

   View > Fit All in Window (Opt/Alt + Cmd/Ctrl + 0)

8. Export EPS with latex

   The open source Inkscape has the feature where you could edit any text as latex in the EPS-file after exporting it. This makes all scientists and other users of latex mega-happy. This is the easiest way to format the text to fit the latex document, and to add nice math writings to the figure in the blink of an eye, instead of the tedious work of writing the correct font and special math symbols in Illustrator.

   Could Ai please add the feature of generating something similar to what is documented here: http://tug.ctan.org/info/svg-inkscape/InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf ?

   I believe this is easy and quickly implementable in Ai.

13. Feature Request: Preference for Copy and Duplicate Layers without auto renaming and adding "copy" to them

    Hi Adobe 🙂

    I make large Illustrator files that have lots of layers, and often I find myself copying a layer that has a ton of sublayers. I spend way too much time renaming the copied layers removing the word "copy" or "copy 3" etc from the sublayer names.

    I have found some workarounds, if this helps anyone. If I want to copy a layer called **, I will copy it, then rename it XXXz then paste and the new pasted layer is ** without the name copy, then I can go back and remove the z from the name of the source layer.

    But often, I just want to option drag a complicated layer or a number of elements into another layer and have the names not change.

    Can we make a preference for not renaming duplicated or copied files? It would save me a ton of time and effort, and it seems like it wouldnt be a big deal to add a feature like that - it's not really complicated, but of course it takes time and resources away from other things perhaps?

    Still if it's an easy fix PLEASE consider it? It would save me many hours of time over a month.

14. 'Expand' generates excess groups, clipping groups, compound paths and other unwanted vector garbage. Keep it simple!

    Try expanding a brush or a 3D shape and take a look at the large pile of unwanted groups, compound paths and clipping masks Illustrator has generated for you. It just adds complexity to the file and makes the object appearance tricky to work with. See example ai file attached.
    If you have Astute Graphic’s Vector First Aid plugin you can remove all that stuff and see just how simple and usable your vectors can be (I recommend it), Wouldn’t it be better if Illustrator didn’t generate junk in the first place?
    Please make sure Illustrator only generates the barest minimum of extra groups, compound paths and clipping masks!
    Note to whichever Adobe person merged my previous feature request with "Achor point smart delete"; excess points/path complexity is not the problem I’m talking about here! I use both Vectorscribe and Vector First Aid anyway.

16. Eliminate the Adobe Search Pane in the top right of illustrator

    Adobe does not seem to be able to fix the problem of Adobe search being selected by default when a file is opened. I use a master layout page & am constantly pasting art I have copied to the pasteboard into the stupid, virtually useless Adobe search window. It immediately hangs Illustrator which eventually crashes.

    This bug is ridiculously enraging. I cannot believe Adobe has not addressed this. It can't just be me having this issue

    The search bar in the top right corner is gone and is replaced with a button with a magnifier icon — it now calls the new Discover window.
    Please check how you like it now and reply back.

17. Allow to customize color of text used by Distance Guides

    Recently Illustrator received Distance Guides (can be disabled in Preferences > Smart Guides > Invoke Distance Guides), thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34302196 (it uses Opt/Alt, not Cmd/Ctrl)

    For some reason the color of text in these is black — while the lines use the one set for object guides (magenta by default today). It makes it very hard to see when working with dark designs.

    Dimension Tool uses magenta color for the same text... I think it should be either magenta as well, or a separate option should be used to set the color.

18. Select similar colors (with a tolerance slider) so you can round up and streamline elements in a messy document

    This is basically a tolerance slider added to Select>Same>Fill Color. It would just allow you to cast a wider net to quickly select colors and convert them to a single global color. It's very hard to track down a color that's 1% off from the others in a complex file otherwise. It could also help process multi-color graphics into a limited color palette more efficiently

19. Make the Touch Type Tool work both sides

    OK, I'm having this "workflow" issue with the Touch Type Tool.

    I like to be able to move 1 character at a time, rotate, move, scale.

    But I'm a bit annoyed because SOMETIMES, I'd love it to NOT change the text after. So I usually have to reverse-compensate by making negative kerning on the next character.

    See the image attached :
    1. I justified my type between the 2 green margins.
    -> Nice.
    2. I change the H character (scale/rotation)
    -> Getting out of the green margin.
    3. I change the character after (negative kerning)
    -> Back into nice green margins…

    Sometimes I'm ok with moving every character one after the other, but sometimes, I'd like to move only ONE character and leave the rest in place.

    I'd appreciate if Illustrator would compensate by not moving the remaining characters (and automating the next characters kerning).

    So, if you take the joined file, I'd like to be able to skip step 2 ! (may be a modifier key ?)

    btw, i loved playing with the xants font (bauhaus/typekit/hiddentreasure)

20. Change shortcut for paste in place/paste on all artboards to match Indesign

    I'm in a workflow where I work simultaneously with Illustrator and Indesign, linking illustrator files to indesign (they could probably be integrated more!).

    However, it is probably my most irritated moments when I realize I have used cmd-alt-shift-V (shortcut to paste in place in Indesign) instead of cmd-shift-V. If you work on one artboard, it looks the same, and you don't realize your mistake until you go to another artboard and see that the pasted thing has been pasted on all artboards. And you've worked far enough to not having the possibility to undo...

    You can customize your hotkeys in Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. Search 'paste' and change 'Paste on All Artboards' to anything else or remove shortcut completely.
