1. Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF?

   Is there a way to change the state of the page information line when exporting from Illustrator to a PDF.
   We need it closer to the bleed box (or right on it) and much further to the left.
   We need it closer to the bleed frame (or right on it) and much further to the left.
   I can't find anything in Illustrator's settings (of course). This will probably be defined in some file. I would like to edit this file with an editor to adapt it to our needs. Or is that perhaps possible via a script?

   The background is as follows: Several of these (quite small) files are built up on one printed sheet. We have extended the bleed of several frames in our imposition software in order to be able to see these lines in the case of individual benefits. This makes it much easier to distinguish between the individual types - some of which differ only in details - during further processing. In addition, the time, date and the correction status noted in the file name are very helpful in case of complaints.
   In order to avoid unnecessary work - and human errors - we would like to have this line offset directly at output. So much for the background.

2. Can we please move the "Close all" button away from the "Save" button in the "FILE" dropdown menu

   Maybe move the "Close" and "Close all" buttons to the bottom of the "FILE" dropdown menu, instead of having them sit so close to the "Save" and "Save as" buttons.

   I have accidently closed various projects because of this.

3. "Duplicate artboard" command should have option to create duplicate artwork on its own layer, not double all the assets in the file structur

   Currently when user chooses "Duplicate artboard" command, all of the assets on all layers and sub-layers get duplicated where they are within that layer hierarchy. To make for better asset organization, "Duplicate artboard" should have an option to create a new layer and put all of the duplicated assets in the same layer/sub-layer hierarchy there so then both sets of assets are independent in the layers window.

   should have option to create duplicate artwork on its own layer.

4. Print option to select which artboard(s) to rotate

   I have an illustrator file open with 2 artboards in it. I am trying to print them both on 1 page (double sided). I can do that, however, I am having problems with one side of the page being upside down. Is there a way to fix this; other than manually flipping one of the artboards 180 degrees prior to printing?

   My thought would be to have a feature in Illustrator (& other Adobe programs) in the print dialog box under the orientation section. Utilizing the auto-rotate checkbox, if you uncheck it you could have an option to select which artboard(s) to rotate (currently all artboards are rotated at the same time)? I know we can select certain artboards to print, so would it be possible to add this in where we could select which artboard(s) to rotate? I understand that 1) this is easy to ask, but harder to implement & 2) you might feel like the issue is a printer issue, but I feel like it could be solved in Illustrator & I have not found anything in my printer settings that can fix this problem either.

5. Search filed is focused by itself

   Every time I go back into Illustrator, the current version, my cursor automatically appears in the search area in the upper right hand corner. This was never the case in the past. This is problematic because, when I go back into Illustrator, I may want to select a tool or paste an object and unless I click on the artboard first, it pastes into the search window. Just one more simple glitchy thing that SLOWS DOWN WORKFLOW!

   In the latest release this search filed is gone, and it now has a button instead. Most probably it does solve the problem. Please comment back if it does not.

6. Adding strokes to images easier

   On either links or embedded image files, it would be super helpful to be able to add a stroke to it instead of the messy workaround of drawing one or adding multiple, RAM-hogging glow effects with no blur to the get that effect.

7. Menu TYPE no Illustrator

   Creio que seria muito interessante inverter a ordem no Menu Type:
   "Fontes Recentes" ficar antes da opção "Fontes".
   Porquê:
   Ao levar o ponteiro do mouse para o menu "Fontes Recentes", quase sempre o mouse atinge a opção "Fontes", o que trava momentaneamente o programa (carregando as fontes). Então, o que deveria ser uma coisa rápida, prática, acaba ficando lenta. A troca na ordem dessas opções acabaria com esse incoveniente.

8. Streamline the Fresco To Illustrator Export Process

   Like many I use Illustrator for its Vector properties in order to animate within After Effects, with the agility to scale up assets infinitely when clients change their minds about shots & movements.

   iPads Adobe Draw, meant my assets could become so much more detailed. Which was great! While the push to desktop feature was glitchy for me at best it still mostly resulted with having a neat AI file version of the Draw one. That I could Import into AE with ease. Update with ease. etc.

   It's also useful that I can bring in AI assets to PS as smart objects & add textures etc. while still retaining some agility to scale the asset up if need be.

   So when Fresco came along with the ability to have vector & bitmap layers in one document, all on my iPad i was so excited.

   However I'm disappointed that it only comes up as an option for me to open within PS. Even when the layers are saved as smart objects, I have just wasted my morning trying to understand how changing the colour of my smart object in AI, then moves it's anchor point within PS. Moving all my colour work out of sync with my line work & shade work etc.

   I was excited to tell a client that his colour change requests wouldn't take very long and am now so genuinely shocked at how clunky this process has become.

   The suggested option of saving the Fresco file as a PDF to open in Illustrator is not sufficient.

   Even when not using just bitmaps it flattens my layers and makes unnecessary clipping masks, which make even slight alterations in AI a nightmare.

   Furthermore, all my layers are now named - clipping mask.

   Would much prefer an option to save to AI & have my bitmaps be smart objects & retain my layer hierarchy etc.

   Please & Thank you.

10. allow the editing/removal of the "Touch Calligraphic Brush"

    Concise problem statement:

    An uneditable, undeletable “Touch Calligraphic Brush” appears at the top of the Brush palette for every single document, including ones that predate touch devices. On my Macbook Air, which is not a touch device, with files that have never been loaded on a touch device.

    Steps to reproduce bug:

    1. Start Illustrator on a computer with no touchscreen.
    2. Load a file or create a new one.
    3. Try to edit the “Touch Calligraphic Brush”.
    4. Try to delete the “Touch Calligraphic Brush”.

    Results:

    The Touch Calligraphic Brush stays there at the top of your brushes palette. It refuses to move. Refuses to let you change its settings. It mocks you every time you look at the brush palette, an unasked-for, unwanted squatter in the middle of your tools, like a toad that’s plopped itself down in the middle of your pencil box. It’s polite, as toads go. It doesn’t demand you feed it flies, it doesn’t excrete all over a work in progress and ruin it, it doesn’t even croak. But it’s always there right in the middle of where your tools are. And sometimes you put your hand on it when you reach for a pencil without really looking, and it’s all clammy, and gross, and why is this toad in the middle of my pencil box, taking up space I could keep drawing tools instead? When you call the people who make the pencil box, they tell you that, oh, yes, the toad has to be there for the benefit of people working in the exciting new medium of toad secretions, so that when they try to use a toad to draw with, there’s always a toad there, and this just leaves you (as an artist working in the medium of pen and ink) rather baffled as to why this means everyone has to have a toad in their pencil case now.

    I mean, also sometimes the pencil box summons this five inch tall giraffe made of fire who burns your drawing up, and that’s something both you and the people who made this magical pencil box are more concerned with, but still. I just keep on putting my hand on this toad sometimes, and it’s just moderately annoying on a constant low level.

    Expected results:

    The Touch Calligraphic Brush acknowledges that its presence may be unnecessary or unwanted for some people, and lets you edit and delete it.

    Or even better, perhaps the Touch Calligraphic Brush never even appears if you’re not on a touch device.

11. Tracing with machine learning, Sensei, or something similar

    My question is: Is there is any program or chance that the illustrator trace will use less points and be more accurate?
    I love using the illustrator and I love tracing pictures with hand, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy to do it manually and the available trace solution is just not 10/10 for die cut lines and sometimes logo recreations (when the customer can send only a 100x100 pixel file, because of reasons).
    If there was a chance you made something that would check, analyse, and learn from my (and other volunteers') manual tracings for the pictures used, i would LOVE to be a contributor.

    The point is to use less points, more accurate curves and don't know what else should be more refined. Maybe the colours?

    So please Illustrator team buy strong machines that could learn this by analysing hand tracing!
    (Don't know how these work. Maybe send out 50 BW pictures and 50 coloured ones to the participants and gather the info?)

    Thank you for your attention! And sorry if I misspelled anything. English is not my native language.

12. 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 :)

13. registerKeyEventsInterest fundamentally broken in modern Illustrator (silent failure)

    I am reporting a critical issue with the registerKeyEventsInterest API. In modern versions of Illustrator, this function is completely broken for global keystroke interception. Worse, it fails silently with no errors or feedback in the CEF console.

    According to the CEP documentation, we should be able to pass a JSON string to this API to catch key events and stop the host app from swallowing them. But right now, calling csInterface.registerKeyEventsInterest() with a standard JSON payload does absolutely nothing.

    If you set up a basic CEP panel, include CSInterface.js, and try to register interest in a global keystroke, the code runs without throwing an error. But when you actually press the keys, Illustrator just ignores the panel and triggers its native action anyway.

    Because the API fails silently, developers waste hours trying to debug a black box

    We need to know if this API has been quietly deprecated for Illustrator or if this is an acknowledged bug. If it is a bug, it needs to be patched. An official API should not just act like a black hole.

    This has been an ongoing issue across recent modern builds.

14. Create a ISE file system for Gradient management (ASE for AI only)

    create the possibility to export gradients as lib !

    I understand why ASE does not work with gradients (while it could be the case if ASE would accept more than one value per swatch but whatever..)

    I'd be nice to create ISE fileformat for example (ASE for AI only) to be able to have an actual gradient lib file.

    bluegradients.ISE
    Redgradients.ISE
    Etc

    The state of gradient management feels very much not polished from the adobe side of things, so please, work on that ...

    and have a look at Astute gradient forge
    If you actually care about Fixing your BASE PROGRAM before implementing fancy stuff most people don't care

15. .DXF compound shape support

    Illustrator doesn't seem to support exporting compound shapes in a .DXF file. Corel does so it must be possible. This lack of support means that you cannot have text in a DXF file.

16. Use Typographer's Quotes should be more accessible

    "Use Typographer's Quotes" should be added to the Character palette to make it more easily accessible. Sometimes I'm designing a document that uses typographer's quotes, but most of the time I work with documents that reference dimensions in feet and inches, so I need to be able to switch back and forth between typographer's quotes and straight quotes quickly.

    In addition to that, "Use Typographer's Quotes" should be moved from File > Document Setup to Illustrator > Settings > Type to match the way Photoshop and InDesign do it.

    The Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign teams (and probably others, but those are the three apps I use the most) should get together and decide if they want to use to word "Settings" or "Preferences" to describe the same thing. Apple recently changed from using "Preferences" to using "Settings", so that's probably the one to use, at least on macOS.

17. Recovery Improvement

    The cancel button should not instantly close the file. The reason why is I'm so used to pressing cancel to get out of an option that I don't want without it closing the file. Because of this, I have been conditioned to think that if I press cancel then I will still be able to work on the file. This goes for all Recovery options on all the programs. It would also be nice to have access to said recovery file longer rather than it being completely lost after pressing cancel.

18. Add CSS color styling option to OpenType-SVG specification, so font colors may be altered in Illustrator

    Currently, OpenType-SVG color fonts come with pre-defined colors.

    To provide glyphs in different shades, additional stylistic sets need to be added to the font, bloating it tremendously.

    I propose to add the ability to OpenType-SVG to have certain colors of a glyph being overwritten by the application (e.g. Illustrator), so text colors can be applied to a range of glyphs just like it's done with standard monochrome glyphs.

    To do so, OpenType-SVG should be able to export a set of color reference names, referenced within the glyph's SVG. An application may then assign alternate colors to those color references, so the glyph will render using these colors.

    For example, an OpenType-SVG glyph may look similar to this:

    (UserVoice scrambles my below code, so I attached a text file with the suggested SVG content.)

    ---

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    <style type="text/css">
      :root
      {
        --base-color: rgba(200, 10, 10, 1);
        --highlight-color: rgba(255, 70, 70, 1);
      }
    
      .gradient-fill
      {
        fill: url(#gradient) #000;
      }
    </style>
    
    <defs>
      <linearGradient id="gradient">
        <stop offset="0" stop-color="var(--base-color)" />
        <stop offset="1" stop-color="var(--highlight-color)" />
      </linearGradient>
    </defs>
    
    <polygon class="gradient-fill" points="0,0 100,0 0,66" />
    

    </svg>

    Illustrator's swatch for font color may then switch from a single swatch to a list of swatches, representing each of the CSS color variable values (see Properties panel illustration attached).

19. Allow customized names for exported artboards

    Allow me to customize the name of artboards that are exported or saved as.

    OR, change the automatic naming to include the artboard number at the front of the file name so they will be in the same order as they are in the document when sorted alphabetically.

    Here is how I would use this feature:

    We use Illustrator to create client presentations. Artboards are named according to their content. Often saving/exporting as a PDF from Ai results in a file that's too large to email.

    So I export each artboard as a PNG. The naming convention for these files is FileName_ArtboardName.png.

    Then I import the PNGs to Acrobat. Then rearrange the pages in Acrobat to the correct order.

    My workaround is to rename the artboards before export with the artboard number at the beginning of the artboard name, then the PNGs are in the correct order in Finder, and when imported into Acrobat.

    Adding the artboard to the artboard name has to be done manually, which if you have more than a few artboards gets tedious. And if you change the order of the artboards, you have to manually change the number in the artboard names.

    I envision it as a preference pane, similar to how Lightroom Classic handles file names for export. Or it could be an option when exporting.

20. PLEASE add back in the ability to copy simple shapes that contain gradients from Illustrator to InDesign.

    Copying simple shapes with simple gradients (not even complex gradient mesh) from Illustrator to InDesign has been a feature for as long as I've been using Adobe products and now, suddenly, in the 2026 versions, it's gone. Every time I try I get the error dialog attached. This is the most basic of functions and I don't understand why it's gone. I just got off the phone with Adobe Support who said "it's no longer supported". What? Why? Their solution was to save Illustrator objects as files and import/place them into InDesign, but that's not an ideal solution as those shape are no longer editable in InDesign. They're just static imports. Isn't the entire point of the Creative Cloud suite that things all just work together? Why is Adobe taking features and functionality away that users have used literally for decades (while continually increasing the monthly price, of course)? Please put this back as soon as possible. Thanks.
