Allow to export empty TGA and TIFF
- Windows 10.
- Version 28.0.
- Exporting an empty file to TGA format.
- Illustrator should proceed to "Targa Options" but instead gives a message "Could not write the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop Adapter."
- No attachment needed, just open a new document and try to save it as TGA without adding any contents.
This is an edge case - there are not many cases where you'd want an empty file of a specific resolution, although there are some, and of course in this case you can just make an empty TGA through Photoshop (which I have…

When sharing a file for a client to add comments. Add a button for when they are done adding comments.
When sharing a file for a client to add comments. It would be good for a button to be added saying "done" or "finished". At the moment, we get notified for every comment, and I don't know when the client has finished adding all their comments. It would be good to get a notification of when they have finished.

Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration
Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration
Observation | A User may download and insert a comp image from Adobe Stock into their project while awaiting client image approval, however, relinking the file is a long an unnecessarily tedious process.
Behaviour | The User places the comp Adobe Stock image into their project. The client approves the images. The User clicks the ReLink button, copies the comp image ID number from the filename in the top left of the screen, navigates to stock.adobe.com, pastes in the filename ID number and searches for the image. The User then downloads the high resolution image,…

Preserve the transparency (opacity %) when a file is exported.
If I want to create overlays (think of Instagram filters), I want to be able to preserve the opacity %. So that I can take this overlay and place it over other images.
The way it works currently is if I export the object and place it on another image, all the transparency is lost and the object is set to 100% opacity.1 vote -
Add 'resource size' to the 'prefix' option in 'export multiple formats'
This prefix is very useful when exporting "multiple resources" and can improve work efficiency.
In addition, it is recommended that the current prefix naming method be separated from the file name using "prefix -" or "prefix _".2 votes -
3D rendering issues with labels
When applying a label to a cylinder, the rendering is not clean. There are artifacts generated in the nothingness. See the artifacts in the attached file. This also doesn't get soled when rotating the object.

Allow Shaper Tool to create stars
Shaper Tool allows to create live rectangles, ellipses, polygons in a freehand manner: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/building-new-shapes-using-shape.html
Recently a new live shape got added into Illustrator — Star.
But Shaper Tool won’t create one if you try to scribble it.
Not sure how popular Shaper Tool is, but it should be able to do it anyway.Original idea by Monika Gause.

When exporting the saving dialogue doesn't take you to the source location
When exporting, the saving dialogue doesn't take you to the source location which used to be the case. It takes you to Downloads instead which is not convenient for file organization.

For all Adobe apps, make a Save icon at the top.
Make a Save icon at the top so that we could save our work often and quickly with a mouse click instead of interrupting the work flow to do a File Save or even Ctrl - S.

Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.
The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.
If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.
I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

Make it flexible to stylize graphs and edit data without messing the graph design
Please allow it that we can stylize the graphs without ungrouping it so we can still edit the data anytime as needed. Creating graphs (data and style) should be efficient. As of the latest version, every time we edit graph data, the horizontal lines (x-axis) get messed up. (Please see attachment with file name: graph with style...)
And there is this wide space on the start (left of the graph). Not sure why the graph tool has this wide space from the left side every time it generates the graph. (Please see attachment with file name: graph wide space...)

Labels on cylinders scaling fails
When Labels on cylinders are scaled beyond a certain size (relative to object size?), their distortion is wrong
See attached file and video. The original size of that label is smaller, I have scaled it on the object and it just gets dirtorted at the far edges as soon as it gets too large.

AI: trace in style of...
the new text to vector tool is amazing, especially the match to artboard/ stylepicker functionality.
Now I would like to import a photo to the artboard of an existing Illustration and trace it in the same style/simplification of this already existing vector file.

Convert Text Frame to Shape
Convert text frame to regular shape while preserving geometry and appearance
Please add a command to convert a rectangular text frame into a regular vector shape while preserving its exact dimensions, position, fill, stroke, and stroke weight.
For example:
1 Select a rectangular area-text frame with a stroke.
2 Choose Object > Content > No Content (similar to InDesign), or another appropriate command.
3 Illustrator converts the text frame into a regular rectangular vector path.
4 The exact geometry and appearance remain unchanged.This is particularly useful when working with Illustrator files that contain text frames which need to become…

Separate "Ask when opening" settings for color mismatches
We have a large team that's constantly opening previous projects. The print team is separate from the video team.
For the video team, the CMYK profile is sort of irrelevant, but the RGB isn't.
Is there a way to have Illustrator tell about only RGB color mismatches when opening the file, and just preserve CMYK?
Basically, I'd like to have the result of "Ask when opening" different for CMYK and RGB.
That way the team can keep a policy of preserving CMYK without getting a popup every time, but act only RGB profile mismatches.

Turn off "Could not complete the requested operation. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing"
I routinely work with large art files, and while I would love the drawing area to be unlimited, it seems like that's never going to happen.
In the meantime, please add an option to turn off the warning message; "Could not complete the requested operation. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area". I know when I use the transform tool and I've previously moved an object a great distance across the drawing area that I can't repeat that operation. I don't need to be reminded of that constantly. The behavior of this dialog…

Selecting layer selects artboard
I have been given an icons file that has 100+ icons, each on a separate artboards.
I can search (finally) for the item in Layers and select it, but it is not selecting or locating the artboard at the same time.
An alternative to this would be to have a search function on artboards.

set pdf content active as helpers/rules when imported
As it's convenient to keep links to reference file, it's sometimes mandatory to attach/align new shape to points/path of the imported shape.
but by default the pdf content is not "live". it would be valuable to have this content live as it's possible for Glyphs or symbols...

Add Embroidery Digitizing Features
Please add the ability to do embroidery digitizing within this program; including the ability to export in the most common embroidery file types. If not, a standalone program added to Creative Cloud would be greatly appreciated. This would be especially useful on Macs, because there aren't as many software programs that specialize in digitizing as there are on PC.
