  1. Add URLs to objects in PDFs

    Have the same functionality as InDesigner, where you can sign URLs to objects, making them interactive in PDF format. The current workaround of opening and adding the link in Acrobat isn't good enough - if you need to edit the illustrator file you then have to re-add all of the links!

  2. Global Edit in Isolation mode

    Global edit is very powerful but not a fully realized feature.
    Many things are missing from it (like this one: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/35768314-create-symbols-from-global-edit)

    Another one is that the Global Edit button is completely missing when you are in isolation mode. So instead of entering a group and editing similar objects only in this particular group, we are forced to lock similar objects manually (because GE won’t allow to do it), EXIT the isolation mode, start GE and edit found similar-s with everything else NOT isolated (which obstructs editing).

    Let me provide a practical example I am working on. I have several…

  3. Have a Context Menu Option to Relink Placed Items (Local or Cloud Library)

    I would like to direct select a placed image/cloud library item and right click and Relink the item direct from the mouse context menu.

    Right now I have to click it, then move my mouse to the top bar or links window. LAME! 😜

  5. Please update your troubleshooting/fix instruction for the bg "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT]".

    Effect - > 3D -> Extrude & Bevel...

    Following all the Adobe Support site instructions, the bug could not be solved. Even after uninstalled Illustrator and re-installed it, the issue persist.

    Environment:

    *MacOS Bug Sur: 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 & 16 GB(Memory) 3733 MHz LPDDR4X

    *Creative Cloud - Illustrator 2021

    Applied all the troubleshooting documented in:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-reset-illustrator-preferences/td-p/10602277?page=1

    And other similar pages without positive results.

  7. Print Nesting

    Illustrator needs the ability to perform efficient object nesting. This would greatly help in making files for printing and cutting as well as saving loads of time. Please add nesting to Illustrator!

  10. Rasterize multiple objects to separate images at once

    It would be great to select multiple objects and apply the rasterize settings to each of them as seperate images in one go.

    currently i have to select each object and rasterize them individually. would save a lot of time if there was a checkbox that allowed you to apply it to all of the objects separately instead of rasterizing them together as one big image

  16. Error message – Wacom driver (since updated to version 25.0)

    My old Wacom-Board Intuos 3 PTZ-631W still works pretty good and I never had trouble with it while using Adobe products until I updated to version 25.0 on October, 22nd. Yet I had several crashes. Unfortunately Wacom is not providing new drivers, so the recommended solution in the error message does not work.
    Do you have any other idea or maybe you could solve this in the next version.

  17. App icons

    Can you please update the icons for your apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.) to a new design and color scheme? I do NOT like the same colors for the icons that 2020/2021 versions use. I'm forced to find replacement icons for your apps. At least include some alternative icons for your products.
    Thank you.

  20. Embed locked photos + objects ( without unlocking them first )

    Currently, we must unlock an image before embedding it. An example workflow where this in inconvenient is if I am preparing a doc for sharing and I would like to embed all images in a file for convenience. Or perhaps I have many small linked files that I want to embed for ease, like a complex illustration with many bitmaps.
    Currently I do this:
    1/I select all images in my links palette.
    2/ click embed
    3/ receive alert that AI won't embed any locked images. (either I prefer them locked or I locked and forgot)
    4/ I unlock all images.…
