1. Remove Onboarding features as they get in the way of me trying to do my job

   It can be extremely frustrating to have popover windows introduce features or to say "hey let's start designing". I'm already trying to design by firing up illustrator and opening a file. I'm busy and just need to get some work done for a deadline. I don't need you asking the obvious or interrupting me from completing my job.

   I get that you want to help me know that new features exist, but please, please, do that in a way that doesn't force me to acknowledge your popover when I open up a file that already exists. Or even if i don't open a new file. You can assume I know that I can use illustrator to start designing...

2. 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)

4. Able to edit class prefix at export SVG (st0,st1...)

   This issue is very common when you import to html two or more svg files and the last svg overwrites the class of the previous svg inserted, due that uses same name of class.

   The solve is able to edit a prefix on export options window, that can edit for each file to set an unique prefix to get e.g.: st0, st1 and foo0, foo1 in each.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Save the .ai file and only after finishing the .pdf

   As done in CC 2019, I can save the .ai and only after finish it I can save a .pdf
   Now with AI 24.2.2 I save the .ai and immediatly the .pdf but the .ai file is not saved. So the .ai and .pdf are not the same. This can cause a lot of problem becasue is I start work to AI file I'm not in last version and if I start on .pdf in low resolution I lose some elements, and reduce the quality to raster.
   Please, do as CC 2019 that Illustrator block user before .pdf save.
   I hope I have been of help and that my request will be taken care of.

9. Improve print quality for non-postscript printers on macOS

   When using Illustrator on macOS Computers, the quality (resolution) of documents is lower when printed on non-postscript printers than when printing the same document using Acrobat (this seems not to be the case for Windows).
   The attached file shows the difference between the exact same file printed on the same printer using the same settings. The upper part was printed using Acrobat, the lower part was directly printed with Illustrator.

10. Content Credentials (Beta) arriving for Illustrator ... and general concerns about Content Provenance / Attribution

    As Adobe are a leading player in the CAI initiative, are they rolling out 'Content Credentials' functionality to the other creation tools in the suite?
    Also - related to this - why do admin staff on here ask people to upload .AI files as bug fix evidence without conversations about risks of jeopardising Provenance and Attribution?

11. Voice activated commands

    What if all your basic commands could be said aloud? For example:
    "File, save, export, save for web, jpg, 72 dpi, save, save to X folder..." or "select same fill color and stroke color, change to PMS246, object ungroup, select tool, select Layer 1, add 2 point white outline"

    Why would this be cool?

    I am the worst at remembering short keys or using short keys and I'm sure not the only one. When software gets updated, sometimes things get moved in menus and that can be frustrating. I can say the commands faster than I can point, click or use the keyboard. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry I get frustrated not being able to click fast enough. I've even been known to say the commands out loud when I am trying to resolve an issue or trying to concentrate.

    I think this could open many doors for individual special needs. If a designer injures their hand, their livelihood can be gone forever. Any verbal commands or even facial/ eye movement adaptations to any software would be greatly beneficial. No one should have their creativity stifled by inability to use to great design tools. Voice commands would be a great place to start.

    I hate to say this but your users are getting older and will be working longer and longer. Years and years of typing and clicking can really be ******* joint and muscles. (Arthritis is a real thing.) It seems that you would want to keep the health of your end user in mind for the investment longevity of your projects.

12. Smart Guides snapping to the cursor is just making me work much slower

    I have been having problems with smart guides after the recent update. It has been snapping my cursor to objects, which I have never wanted and never will want to do that ever. I just want to simply align objects together, and now I have to use the features in the align window to time-consumingly do the jobs. Please remove the snap-to-cursor feature for the sake of my deadlines.

    The latest Beta build allows to disable snapping to the cursor position as an advanced option in Preferences > Smart Guides. Please try and see if it’s something that works for you.

13. Gradient following the curve of a shape

    Don't know if this is an original idea but - is it possible to make an feature to make a gradient follow a user-drawn guideline (like with text on line)..? I tried to illustrate it in the attached file - the first shape is the one that should be filled with gradient, the second one is what we can do now (or mesh but that's a bit complicated) and the third one shows the guideline in purple and arrows that the gradient would follow. So the lower left part of the shape would be let's say darkest, the gradient would follow the arrows along the purple guideline and the top left part of the shape would be the lightest...
    I hope that it is possible to make that change...

    Since version CS6, Illustrator allows to align gradients on strokes with a dedicated set of Align Stroke buttons in the full expanded Stroke panel.

14. Change conversion of black when going from RGB to CMYK

    Please change the default behavior when converting a file from RGB color space to CMYK color space to make RGB black convert to 100% black. Currently and for years, Illustrator converts it to a rich black, with high values in each ink. It's very common to have to take artwork created in RGB and covert it to CMYK for print, and the default conversion for black is never usable. Please make it practical and have 0,0,0, RGB black convert to Cyan 0, Magenta 0, Yellow 0, Black 100.

15. Brushes: anomalous effects

    Illustrator 2018 22.0.1

    Steps taken: Applying a pattern brush to a stroke, and adding an extra stroke around that in the appearance panel.

    Expected result: The stroke should only apply to the visible outline of the brush (see image), and no weird visual anomalies.

    Actual result: The stroke applies to both the brush as expected, but also to the original path (which should be invisible). There are also some anomalous gaps between the component parts of the brush, which should not be there.

    Furthermore, if you expand the brush you get a group containing the brush sub-paths (totally fine), but each of those sub-paths is further contained within a group within a group (not fine). Neither of those groups is necessary, can cause weird visual effects, and adds unwanted extra complexity to the file.

16. Preview for file name with prefix and suffix when exporting for screens

    I have three requests about Prefix for filenames -
    1. Move it to a more prominent area where it's visible. Sometimes it's pre-populated because of previous exports, but since it's too small and not located anywhere around the artboards, it's very easy to miss it and end up with wrong file names.
    2. Make it bigger. Most prefixes have at least two words and the current input doesn't accommodate it. I have to manually scroll through the complete thing with the keyboard. Not very useful.
    3. Show a preview of complete file name(s) including prefix and suffix. Right now there's a preview if you enter a suffix, but none if you enter only a prefix. The preview should always be visible in this dialog, since it's possible that one or both of these fields are pre-populated from previous exports.

17. Move close button away from save in File menu

    Moving the Close button away from the Save button, maybe to just below Revert

    Sounds like a sad fix but having the Save button right below the Close has caused me to lose original works due to accidentally pressing Save instead of close when i don't to save the changes made.

    This has happened when my mouse has had a sudden glitch and not moved the .5mm needed to press the correct button. worse when you can't undo due to hitting the maximum number of undos

    Not a major issue but anyone that has done this would know the pain it causes

19. Tool for understanding storage size (bytes in file/memory) of single object or group of ojbects in document

    Often Illustrator file size have very large size. And Illustrator interface at now provide no ways for understand, which objects englarge file size, and how to reduce the size.

    Main question is for embedded objects (pixel images) - before embedding we can see file size, but after embedding - fields in panel becomes empty! Why?

    So, please fix, at first, showing info about embedded images in Links panel, and next - create some tool for review size of currently selected group of objects.

20. Hiperlinks

    Right now you must use Acrobat or Indesign to integrate hiperlinks in the file. You can do the 0% opacity trick (putting a hiperlink in 0% opacity on top of the text you want to link) but it's not usable or efficient.
    I have so many files that are 90% illustracions, so it's the best for me to use Illustrator, but I would love to include the links in the file, not having to edit it in other softwares afterwards...
