1. Placed psd layer comps keep their visibility regardless of color space(s)

   Make layer comp visibility overrides work regardless of color space. When placing layer comps from PSD, the color spaces for both documents need to be the same in order for the layer comp visibility overrides to be sticky in AI. If one is CMYK and the other is RGB, and the layer comps are changed, the placed comps do not keep their original comp visibility overrides.

2. Checkbox to saving process for different file formats

   When we save for clients different file formats, it takes a lot of time to choose PNG and save, AI and save, EPS and save, PDF then save. Maybe a checkbox when we export what kind of file formats we want to export, and it also rewrites the earlier files.

   Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Sean, the new Beta release have an option to Intertwine objects, giving you a way to make knots like this. It won’t work exactly the way you described, especially for multiple strokes, but it’s going there.

   Please try it and give your feedback.

4. Align to x-height / Cap height, align to effects' bounds

   Hey! Illustrator rocks!! I am a professionnal user and I have to tell you that the software is really awesome!!!
   As a graphic designer (specialized in UI) I have to align stuff all the time:
   1- I would like to to be able to align the text to x-height inside a box rapidly. ( for instance the words inside a button )
   2-It would be nice to be able to align the stuff that has been duplicated with the Transformation... tool
   For now in both case I would have to decompose a duplicate of the transformed shape and manage to make it the same size of the box...it is doable but it is a bit of a pain!
   Thank you
   Fred

5. Type Automation/Modulation Tool

   A automation/modulation tool allows type to be edited based off different parameters. (ex. typewriter function that allows more ink bleed onto random letters on a body of type). Similar to music production automation/modulation in that there would be values from 0-100 and then those settings could have a parameters (ex. setting the bounds of the automation from value of 80-100 and then having the ability to randomize that automation between those values). The highlighted text that needs automation/modulation would have a separate window with a linear grid to adjust each individual character and a drop down menu of what parameter is being affected. Then using a specific pen tool you would be able to draw in the value for each character or pick a value set and a percentage of how much modulation is wanted. Each character of text could then be adjusted for fine tuning. Example attached is from logic pro. The other example is a piece of text from a type writer to show the subtle differences of each character typed to give a body of work more of a human like touch. This could be streamlined for all adobe products with text

7. Isolation tints eyedropper colors from linked assets

   When using the eyedropper tool in isolation mode on artwork, the color is taken from the actual artwork even though isolation mode displays it as faded. When doing the same on linked assets, even if they are Illustrator files, the isolation mode fade gets applied to the sampled color. This means that you have to back out of isolation mode and direct-select it to sample the asset, or otherwise have already created a swatch before entering isolation.

   I think it would be nicer if Illustrator could treat the sampling of linked assets the same way it does for local artwork - sampling the actual colors instead of the colors after fading is applied.

8. Scale raster images by setting a new resolution

   I'd like a tool which allows us to scale raster images (linked or embedded) relative to the artboard raster effect settings. eg. you'd tell it 72 dpi, 150dpi, 300dpi, 355dpi etc. and the image would re-scale to the correct relative size against the artboard.

   At the moment raster images brought into Illustrator always seem to appear at 72pdi, and are scaled too large relative to an artboard with 300dpi raster effects. This is a problem which needs fixing.

9. Make "Export Selection…" Actionable.

   The fact that "Actions" is not in the list is telling.

   Make "Export Selection…" Actionable. Currently, it is not recognized when recording an Action of when "Adding a menu item" to an existing action.

   Actons, in general, are in dire need of attention in Illustrator. Please consider making them a priority.

12. Allow Illustrator Cloud Documents to be Placed in Other Adobe Applications

    Since the new updates with the cloud have been happening, Illustrator pushes you to save into the cloud and buy storage for said cloud... The only issue is the clouds documents only work with Illustrator.

    It would be nice to link/place these cloud files into an InDesign document/project or Photoshop etc. Especially with workflows using IPads. The way the cloud is right now almost makes the cloud pointless for many professional users.

    Workflow is essential, so if you update something and try pushing it, at least make it work across all areas, not just one. I understand this is still relatively new, but I hope this does get fixed as it would improve many workflows.

    The images below show that the cloud file does not show in the folder... Either allow it to be a .ai or make it so we can actually use the cloud file.

13. Menu and Tool UI text, sliders, buttons and fields should be easier to click. larger clickable area around each tool options.

    The clickable area of many UI elements are smaller than they appear making the process tedious an needlessly taxing.

    In my pic my cursor is clearly inside the opacity field but I cannot yet activate it. As it is currently design, I need to be unnecessarily precise. Makes no sense.

    The entire UI could stay the same size but clickable areas should become larger.
    Text based buttons like opacity should be treaded like buttons with a large clickable area (opacity in a box with ample padding).

    There would only be improvements to the UX, no downsides.
    If anyone has suggestions on how to better articulate or title, I'm open.

14. Alignment options to outside (top, bottom, left, right) of key object

    I would really benefit from options to automatically align an object to the outside edge (top/bottom/left/right of its bounding box) of a key object. For example, "Align below" would put the top edge of the bounding box of the repositioned object flush with and below the bottom edge of the bounding box of the key object.

    While I can try to achieve the same results by dragging the object around and using smart guides and snapping, that may require a lot of time (and a little luck) when there are several nearby objects that smart guides are being generated from, particularly as some objects appear more likely to be used as the basis of a smart guide than others. This can make the smart guide I want (an outside edge of a given object) hard to "find".

15. Add an option to measure gaps between objects in Objects on Path by their bounds, not between centers

    Objects on Path needs more options and in its current setup is very limited in its usefulness. This tool feels like it's still in beta. Whilst it's good at doing the one thing it's designed to do, it's missing a lot of useful capabilities.

    If the objects are different sizes it doesn't space them evenly. Spacing currently is determined only by the center points of the objects rather than its bounding box. At least make it an option.

16. Complaint

    Illustrator 2019 23.0.1. sucks. I have been using adobe tools for over 20 years and this is the worst update you have ever released. Not only does it take forever to open any app including InDesign, PS, ILL and acrobat, but then it constantly freezes. I can't get any work done. You keep raising the price of the subscription, but your updates cost me more in time troubleshooting than anything else. The very basic grouping and selecting a group doesn't work in the new illustrator, I am using the most up to date OS on a 2 year old iMac. When I place an image it doesn't show, the app hangs on every little thing I try to do. The tools I select don't do what they're supposed to do. I can't grab a group of points and rotate. Now, I have to download an older version to try to get my project completed. Please be more professional and do proper testing with professional designers before releasing this kind of garbage. I know you can do better than this.

17. Option to auto-sharp an anchor point when using the pen tool.

    By default when making a anchor point with the pen tool it gives you a curve anchor(2 direction handles). I request that we have the option to make it a sharp anchor(1 direction handle).

    Currently in order to make a sharp anchor you have to go back and select the anchor again. This is a slow method if you only draw in sharp anchors. By having this new option it will be lot faster and easier to draw in this style.

    Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    You can do that by holding Alt right after you click the first point with the Pen tool and releasing it after you finish dragging the handle out. This creates legitimate corner point with one hadle.

18. Set "Registration" (and/or other library color) to Dimension tool

    I would like the ability to set the size color in "Registration" on the lines and text. Unfortunately currently (version 28.1) it is possible to freely set the colors but it is not possible to set the Registration color or other colors present in the document samples. This would be very useful for me when printing color separations for different uses.

19. Reverse Track a Linked Image

    I would be like to be able to find an image (jpg/png) in my files, and see what documents it is linked to in InDD and AI.

    I do a LOT of image linking, and it would help me (perhaps in Bridge? don't know what's best) to be able to open an image file, and see what documents I have linked it to.

    It would help me track how many times I've used something already, who (of my clients) have already seen it, and often I can remember the image, but not what I've used it for.

20. Global Edit should allow searching within current and chosen artboards

    Global Edit have some options to limit searching with artboards and/or canvas... but the choices are rather odd: Portrait, Landscape, Square and All.

    It’s strange though we can’t limit it to the current artboard... or some chosen artboards, even though today the selection of artboards on canvas is allowed within the scope of the Artboard tool — but I’ll take the field to put numbers, or selecting artboards in the Artboards panel!

    Select > Same and Select > Object commands don’t have these options at all. Must have — here’s the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35752063
