2. Menu bar item “Duplicate with New Document”

   The History panel menu has a highly useful feature called “New Document.” As it is versatile, it should be added as a menu item on the menu bar.

   Example:
   Menu bar “File > Duplicate with New Document”

   ---

   Japanese

   メニューバー項目「新規ドキュメントで複製」

3. Change of pixel dimension

   When you want to change from resolution 800×480 to 1024×600, there is a slight difference in pixel dimension to retain circle shaped objects. So idea is that you are able to change pixel dimension and convert some files, instead of drawing new ones. For example-you have a circled object in some .ai file, where you have square pixels. If AI would allow to change pixel shape to rectangular, like 0,14 mm height and 0,15 mm width, or 0,148 mm,..., then it would fasten up things of making same graphic for different screen resolution with tool of pixel dimensions, instead of drawing whole new screen.

4. Export or save as SVG

   Please improve dramatically the save as or export option to SVG file!
   As many people have already requested, please simplify the code.
   But my request deals with SVG export with indic languages: IT JUST SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, even if all corresponding options (Parameters / Text / Indic and Asian line by line composer) have been selected in Illustrator!!!
   I attach two screen shots: the first one is Illustrator screen, the second the SVG result. You will see that the devanagari text is completely different.
   For your information, I have already mentionned that problem on or two years ago: it is a pity that Adobe does not care about …
   The only solution is to create these pages with Dreamweaver.
   Regards

5. Overwriting Existing Workspaces and Toolbars

   If I wanted to update my custom Workspace, I can create a new Workspace and give it the same name as before. When I do that, I am warned that the name already exists, and that clicking 'OK' will overwrite the old one. This is great. But if I try the same process for updating a custom Toolbar, it makes me choose another name. Then I have to remember where these files are stored in the Finder, go to that location, delete the old Toolbar, and rename the new one. Please make the process for updating an existing Toolbar as simple as updating an existing Workspace.

7. SVG export: Universally-unique class names for internal CSS or option for prefix token.

   AI's auto-generated class names are only file-unique. Collisions occur if different exported svgs are inlined in the same container (html) document. This prevents a primary way of using SVGs on the web.

   Suggest an option (or default behavior) where class names are universally unique, or where a file-name or user chosen token is prepended to classnames.

8. Asset/Object export needs more options

   I wanted to export multiple assets/objects with their artboard position and quickly realized they will get cropped and there isn't an option to change that.
   The possible naming is also quite limited. Every professional program should have wildcards for naming files.
   It boils down to missing batch features. I found a developer who gave it a try once (TomByrne IllustratorSmartExport). That's everything the batch export could and should be and it should be an official inspiration for how the export in Illustrator should look/feel like. Unfortunately it's not longer under development and the core functionality is broken. Still it's a good example where Illustrator should turn it's head to.

9. Convert Psd to Illustrator Layer Fix

   The issue. Photoshop not converting files for illustrator correctly.
   excuses from locals: It works on in vectors... the arguing point to this... its art... and photoshop is being called a basic thing
   If subject A is photoshop and Subject B is our layers. We have effects and other such various components such as shadows and shading. We are trying to bridge this over to Illustrator.
   The way to accomplish this is each layer to be converted to png in a stack order atleast for a quick fix. So that way no programing and changes. The format would then work as a png which is a stable file. A opacity change could follow as a modification to the subject files.
   As this converts this allow for ourward tracing.
   Time is money and by doing this and accomplishing it you would literally mainstream photoshop back as php and ui/ux and converting it to illustrator and then to xd. Just would make things better. Why build more tolls when you're trying to maximize profits? kills two birds with one stone... I pay more for all three programs... you win... I get to vector my art and work with the speed of massive amount of premade content in photoshop.
   Please for all the things of Jesus and the lambs give this a try.

10. Placing "Show Import Options" - Import Photoshop Artboards Individually into Illustrator

    Give placing options (similar to the PDF import options) when placing a Photoshop file (.PSD and .PSB) into Illustrator; if the "Show Import Options" box is checked, give the user the options to import Photoshop Artboards Individually (Similar to .Ai and PDF Artboards) or as the whole image file.

    The "Show Import Options" box must be checked to get these options, however if not checked, the whole image file will be imported into Illustrator regardless of artboards present.

11. Document unit preferences saved within AI file (type, dimensions, outline).

    When working simulteaneously on artworks for web & print - you have to switch now units each time switching documents.
    Often when preparing artwork for different outputs/purposes.
    Usually/often (always?) unit preferences are DOCUMENT SPECIFIC.

16. Previous versions of illustrator showed the id of individual elements within layers in the layers window

    Previous versions of Illustrator would show the id of individual elements within layers in the layers window. Now they just show as "path" or "compound path." I generate maps as svg files from a database with a program of my own design and then import them into Illustrator for final editing. Sometimes there is a problem with one or more elements. Before I could go to Illustrator, select the problem element, and see in the layers window what its id was. Then I could go to my database and fix the problem. I can't do this anymore. I'm attaching a simple svg file as an example. Most of them have many more elements.

17. Illustrator 2020 performance significantly slow/sluggish -

    Sorry, can't recommend upgrade of 2020 to my colleagues. I work for a large Engineering firm and we have powerful computers. We have critical deadlines for Q4-2019 - Upgrading to 2020 will be a big mistake as it will cause delay to our projects and stress to the members .
    Saving files takes too long, copying takes system long to process - pasting is fine. Adding text is ridiculously taking forever and it creates its own textbox size - It feels like going back to AI CS6.

    Suggest to review what you had for AI 2019- this was one of the best versions.

18. 29.7.1 macOS - PDF Export- Critical Parser failure: Unknown character in content stream

    In the macOS version of Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1, there is indeed a critical bug. When exporting files containing a large amount of text that has been converted to outlines, the resulting PDF file becomes corrupted.

    To verify the issue, please follow the steps below using the attached file:
    1. Launch Adobe Illustrator on macOS (I use Sequoia 15.6)
    2. Open the attached .ai file
    3. Export the file as a PDF using the “High Quality Print” preset

    Result: The exported PDF will appear corrupted, just like the attached example. Furthermore, when attempting to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, the following error is displayed:
    Critical Parser failure: Unknown character in content stream.

    This issue does not occur on the Windows version of Illustrator. Could one of you confirm this bug? If this is indeed a reproducible problem, the development team should fix it as soon as possible.

19. Share and Review for Illustrator (email notification designation)

    Hi Adobe team,

    I Co-own and Creative Direct at a small design agency of about 12 people. Myself and my design team are loving the Share and Review feature as it is saving us so much time in our presentation prep on client work. There is one thing though that would make our lives even better (and the life of our project manager). We would love for there to be a feature where you can designate where the notification emails go to when comments are made. Currently it goes to the person who generated the link (usually a designer), or the client has to directly tag someone who is on the share file to receiver the email (good luck training them to do so lol). Now, our PM is generally handling getting feedback and updates from clients into our Asana making it so design team does not have to bounce all over from emails, to asana, to designs again...and can just focus on what we do best...designing. So by having a setting where, regardless of who generated the link, it funnels to our PM's email she could constantly have real time updates and better manage the progression of the project. Thank you again for implementing the share feature, and I hope maybe this additional feature someday makes it way into a build :)
