  1. An ability to enlarge panels on mouse hover to have larger controls (dynamic and local UI scaling)

    Using a 4k screen I find the palette to be small, and I struggle seeing them detailed especially when it comes to gradients.
    It would be handy to have a feature to enlarge the palette when the mouse hovers on it. Potentially deciding on to which palette activate this. Like for me I'd like to activate it only on the gradient, swatches and colors palette. Maybe a temporary shortcut to press while hovering onto the palette. Thanks.

    Also having a better color picker on the color palette would be nice.

    Thanks.

  3. Retention of fillable form areas when editing and saving an existing PDF.

    Illustrator used to retain fillable form areas when editing and saving an existing PDF. Pretty please. We need that feature back. It's wasting a lot of production time recreating the form fields. When you open and edit graphics in an existing PDF in Illustrator, the instant you save the file (not "Save As...", just "Save") all of the fillable fields are erased.
    Since it's all Adobe, why can't they work seamlessly like they used to?

  6. Snap Bézier handles to consistent lengths

    Would it be possible to add more precise settings regarding the snap behavior of the Pen tool’s anchor points, especially for the handles? This feature exists in Figma and is very useful for ensuring that handles have the same length, distance, and alignment.

    In addition, these handles are often difficult to click. They should be made more accessible, either by increasing their size or by enlarging them by hover.

  7. Stroke Malfunctioning

    Stroke keeps changing to 1pt black on an object when attempting to update fill color. Must either undo the fill action or reupdate the stroke again. I would like Illustrator to leave my color and pt settings as I had them, not randomly decide to change them.

  8. Make the Intertwine feature a standalone tool in the toolbar

    Can we please make the Intertwine feature it's own standalone tool, so If you are intertwining elements you can still edit and continue intertwining without having to restart, as it's currently impossible to go back to intertwining same elements when you have left the mode.

  9. Création d'un simple trait à partir d'une typographie ou d'un logo en double trait pour en faire une gravure

    Création d'un simple trait à partir d'une typographie ou d'un logo en double trait pour en faire une gravure sur CNC,
    Idée : à partir d'une typographie classique : vectorisation de la police - passer en mode contour - déterminer la moitié entre 2 points - création d'une ligne centrale pour avoir un mono trait. Cela pourrait s'appliquer à un logo même avec un empattement variable

  10. Make Free Transform scale corners, strokes, and effects by default, like it used to

    In the past, 99% of the time I used Free Transform was to resize objects without making them look different. I realize that it also has perspective+distort options, but I only use those occasionally, and I very frequently switched between the Selection tool and Free Transform depending on how I wanted to resize an object. Now every time I want to do that, instead of simply hitting the V and E shortcuts, I need to go to the Transform panel and check/uncheck 2 boxes. This is a huge pain and I don't understand why it was changed. What is even…

  11. Swap values in Transform / Move

    Surprised this software still doesn't have a simple toggle arrow button in it's Transform menus.

    Like, swiping values between the Horizontal and Vertical planes with the Move tool.

    Seems like an easy addition!

  13. Summer improvments

    • Eyedropper for text (ref. InDesign)
    • Instant resize at artboards bounds for clipping masks
    • Instant adaptive fit to bounds for images inside clipping masks (ref. InDesign)
    • Find and replace tool with live selection of contents with window open
    • A shortcut for Trim View (tried to customize but it doesn't work)
    • A better way to concatenate text frames (always requires more attempts)
    • Fix the copy/paste text issue with Whatsapp desktop (if try to paste text in a conversation you have the image of it)
    • Option to increase values with right button of mouse or digital pen

  14. Center Align Area Type

    The area type justification settings aren't working. If there is a text box with more than one line of text, it will not justify properly. There are no extra settings for the text boxes - ie. padding, and I tried making new area type text boxes as well.

  15. Adobe fonts searching on top of the font list > easier entry

    Adobe fonts browsing on top of the font list. Instead of scrolling down the (large) loaded fonts list, I would suggest searching Adobe fonts on top of the font list or a dedicated search entry.

  17. Locked objects should not highlight at all when drag selecting over them

    That’s the whole reason I lock them, so they’re not in the way and are ignored during complex selections. Highlighting them when mousing over? It goes against the very design principle of locking. So annoying to see these fundamental usability regressions at every turn with .ai lately.

    Sabarirajan, please elaborate on this.

    Can you draw a mockup? Even a crude one can help to understand the exact idea you have.

    Recent versions of Illustrator have new 3D and Materials tools, which allow to create bent cylinders and other shapes. Please comment back.
