Sharing a Batch of Files for Feedback & Review
The new 2022 features include the ability to share a single document and get feedback within the CC software from other contributors on any internet browser. Please add the ability for users to share multiple files at a single time. I need to be able to send a batch of files for review.
Thanks!

Import all pages at once from PDF file (that doesn't have illustrator embeded)
I'm working at prepress for 20 years.. and verrrry often i need to open PDF files to correct some mistakes on many pages.. (like add bleed, or move all elements away from edges...
it would be cool if illustrator would allow to open all pages at once for multipage PDF files..
Ok, i know that i can edit page by page... or i can open one page, than save as with different name AI file, than open all other pages and copy content to that first saved AI document... but thats not cool for 8 page brochure..
thank you

Opening Fresco files from the cloud with Illustrator
Hello, it's really great that Illustrator can now open files from the cloud. But unfortunately not the sketches from Fresco. You still have to export them first and then you can open them in Illustrator. It would be great if you could change that, i.e. open PSDC files from the cloud in Illustrator. Thanks a lot

1 voteHi,
You are now able to send Fresco files to Illustrator on the desktop with the latest version of Fresco and Illustrator. You can also place embed Fresco files in Illustrator. Please give it a try. In the future, we will also add smoother options to copy paste objects on both the Illustrator surfaces – desktop and iOS.
Thanks,

Combining Ai files into one as we can do with PDF
Some time we need to combine separate files into one for sending to customer or for printing. Idea is to combine separate .ai files into one as we can do with PDF.

File synchronization fails for ai files saved with CC 2018
I sync my files across several computers using Unison (an rsync command line tool). Since updating, .ai files will not synchronize. I am running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 and CC 2018 v 22.0.0 on the computers that I am syncing.
Steps to reproduce:
1. make ai file. A4 RGB layout with one text item. Save.
2. run Unison.
3. synchronization fails with message that the ai file does not exist on the other computer because it could not be renamed from the tmp version of the ai file that unison pulls from the other computer.Not sure if this is…

Master Illustrator File Placed in Multiple Illustrator Files OR Export Selected Layers Palette
In my line of work, we often time work in one single Illustrator file that has one basemap then multiple layers with each showing a specific thing separate from the other layers. However this gets tedious when exporting files where you have to select the layers you want, export as it's own name, deselect those layers and select the next batch of layers, export those under their own name, deselect those layers etc.
What would be great is if Illustrator had the ability to have something like a Master Layer that can bring in a basemap Illustrator file to have…

Automation when opening multiple identical files for adjustments
Have 5 identical DXF files that need to be opened at the same scale (1-1 mm) centered on a 12 x 24 artboard and saved out as PDF. Some way to record this like an action so that when the second file is opened the scale, rulers and save as options are preserved, and perhaps the save to location. Process perhaps 300 such files per year and this would be a huge time saver. Even if only a single file it would be nice to have some persistent parameters that could be set when opening a file such as always…

Show "proxy" preview on placed PDF files instead of hi-res
Just like you have "proxy" link for placed Photoshop.eps files - apply the same feature for PDFs. When PDFs are placed in IL as links, no-one needs hi-res preview of PDFs which causes super sluggish performance of IL. Anything you do in IL, is being slow cause that hi-res preview is on all the time. This feature allows you to place super big files (gigabytes) and handle them with ease. I just wish you can do this with PDF. All Adobe needs to do is use PDF thumbnail (option).

Return showing thumbnail file previews on Windows in Explorer
Please add thumbnail file previews to Windows as we have with Adobe Reader. It's not fair that Mac users have this and Windows users don't While you're doing that please add them to PSD files as well.

Export for Screens, CMYK to RGB
When working in a CMYK Illustrator file, the Export for Screens function currently creates CMYK jpgs. Since it is for screens, it should convert to RGB. Or at least there should be an option to convert the color mode for the exported files.
In a package design project, the files are primarily for printing, but digital mockups are a secondary purpose. So it is necessary for the CMYK color mode to be converted to RGB. Export for Screens seems like it should inherently create RGB files.

Allow creative cloud files to be opened 2 times at once like you can with computer files
I commonly open 2 different copies of the same file so I can see how changes I make while zoomed in will effect the artwork zoomed out without having to zoom in and out over and over again, but for some reason you can't do this with cloud files, and that is why I never end up using them. If they just added the ability to open the cloud files like you can with files on your actual computer I would be much more likely to actually use cloud files more consistently

Add a "starred" section in CC Libraries for the ability to save libraries at top of list (not just recent).
Currently, CC Libraries lists a selection of "recent" libraries used, and then lists libraries in alphabetical order.
Proposition: to create an option to "star" libraries in order to permanently save them in a section at the top (until "unstarred" and be removed from the starred list).
Why: Working at an agency, we are constantly cycling through a long list of libraries on a daily basis, and the libraries I have used most recently are not always the libraries I use most often. I am constantly scrolling through to find the library I need and it's almost never…

Allow appearances to apply to linked files
Linked documents (i.e. other .ai files) can't have their appearance modified.
I.e. if I have a vector design.ai, I can place it in another .ai document however no stroke or fill options actually apply to the file.
This makes scenarios where you have to invert the vector design.ai difficult without custom SVG filters to help try influence the linked document.

Add a Recent section in the Find/Replace Font dialog
Sometimes we have to use the same font as a replacement font.
Find/Replace Font dialog remembers none of our previous replacement searches. And since Search / Filter is missing too (here is the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45057382), we are doomed to scroll the list every time.
Just remember the choices at least!6 votes -
Batch import of .ase files directly to the swatches palette
For example, if I have a dozen .ase files from different colleges, opening them one by one and adding them to my swatches takes time. I'd rather put them into a folder and have Illustrator import them all. Having them import as Color Groups should be kept.
I'd like to be able to do this.
Swatches > Open Swatch Library > Other Library > [folder name]
Every .ase file in that folder should open up/be imported in my swatches palette. Bam! I'm done!2 votes -
Keep Layers from PDF when opening the file in Illustrator.
We use InDesign to do packaging design, usually having multiple variations of the same general design. We then export as PDF and have some vendors who like to get .AI files instead. The problem we are facing, is that when we save the PDFs with Layers (from InDesign), they all flatten when we open the file in Illustrator. There needs to be a way to preserve the PDF layers when opening in Illustrator.

Correctly include vector objects from previous Illustrator version files
A customer file created in CC 15 MAC and (according to tech support) using a CS/3 template does not open properly in CC 18. a group of objects appear as a missing linked file rather that the actual objects. However CS/5 opens the file and placed the vector objects inside a clip mask properly, allowing access to the vector path information. Why would CC18 not have the same capability? Worse, why would it confuse the issue stating a linked file is missing? The vector info is obviously in the file (since it appears in CS/3 and CS/5, get that info…

Disable scale stroke on placed CC files
We would like to have the option to disable the scaling of stroke in placed (linked) CC library files. Ie. if we scale the placed file 200% the stroke of the object in the file stays at 1pt instead of increasing to 2pt.
We have a CC library with a large component library with various electronic and mechanical components. These components should always look exactly the same, but sometimes they need to be scaled. When they are scaled they need to keep the original stroke weight in order to look the same as the other placed components. Since there…
