  1. Pan and zoom on multiple artboard at once

    Hi,

    I am wondering if there is a way to locate and zoom all open windows at the same time in illustrator. Like in compare window in Lightroom. When you zoom and pan over the image, it helps you compare and spot the difference. I am in packaging and sometimes i am using the same diecut and artwork, but different product. i would love to pan and zoom over the artworks on multiple windows to compare and spot the difference.

  3. Nuance de ton direct

    Il serait utile de pouvoir créer une nuance "ton direct" réunissant plusieurs tons direct en pouvant sélectionner le pourcentage de chaque nuance, pour éviter de faire une superposition d'objets en surimpression. Un peu de la même manière qu'avec le nuancier quadri, mais avec des tons directs : le même objet pourra attaquer plusieurs séparations avec une trame différente.
    ex : 877 à 100% + Reflex blue à 5 %

  4. Save 'Find and Replace' searches

    Have an option to save input searches in the Find and Replace box. Then make it possible to load those searches when needed.

    This would prevent entering the same searches day in and day out.

  5. Add grep/regex to Find and Replace feature

    We really need some kind of grep or pattern matching in the Find and Replace dialogue.

    I don't expect it to be InDesign-level functionality, but after all this time even rudimentary grep would be a blessing.

    Maybe the Bridge regex could be adapted to Illustrator somehow...

  6. I loathe this 2021 update

    There are so many issues with this update. I'm not even sure where to start. Functions that were always present are now gone. This is seriously messing with my speed and efficiency. What a mess!

    Where did the free transform function go? When I'm using the selection/direct selection tools, the anchor points for resizing are gone. PUT THEM BACK!

    Key commands aren't working properly. Example: Command C > command F should paste in place, but NOT duplicate. I've spend stupid amounts of time trying to figure out why the **** I have extra boxes.

    There are more, but these are…

  7. Make the steps in the tutorial match the actual steps a person would take to achieve the finished product.

    The steps described in the tutorials do not match the actual steps taken in order to achieve the end product. My guess is this is to frustrate those who take advantage of the 7-day free trial into purchasing the monthly or yearly subscription. I think that stinks. How can a person judge whether or not they want to subscribe to the monthly or yearly plan if they can't even manage the tutorials? If your user menus have changed within the application, then the tutorials need to be updated to reflect this.

  8. Opening menu customization workflow

    As an option for those starting out with Adobe Illustrator, I would like to see you develop a master menu setup process to help me find all the tools I may need for my project. It could begin by asking me/allowing me to select from a list all the things I will want to do with a new project or a newly-opened image file, Adobe or otherwise.
    Those tools and options selected would appear in a dock-able menu window.
    Then, based on known user workflows of different experience levels, Illustrator could recommend additional tools and even tutorials for the different…

  9. Tool Bar exportable.

    Serait il possible de pouvoir exporter ses Barre d'outils perso?
    Comme les espaces de travail il serait pertinent de pouvoir sauvegarder ses paramétrages d'interface pour les récupérer d'une version à l'autre, ou d'une machine à l'autre (changement d'ordinateur, ou de plateforme).
    Ce serait également pratique dans le cas de la perte des Barres d'outils de base quand Ai ne les retrouve plus.

    Merci
    Bonne Année

  10. Mobile Banking to Pay for Illustrator & Reduced fees based on country specific financial status.

    Countries like Bangladesh faces a situation where using cracks is the standard practice. And as a Bangladeshi I would like to put two requests:

    1. Reduce prices depending on geocultural financial status. In Bangladesh, 4$ - 5$ would be a standard price.

    2. Keep options of using local mobile banking services to pay for adobe subscriptions. In Bangladesh the most popular is "Bkash".

    If you consider my suggestions, your revenue would increase for sure. And people like me would not be forced to use *****.
    Thanks.

  11. Allow Symbol Instances to update during master symbol editing

    When making patterns or complex design based on instanced symbols it's vital to see how the seams between repeated symbols update. It would be good to see all instances (in view) update as you're editing a "master", and for the alignment tools to take the other instances into account so you can make pieces align with each other across a grid. Today the instances will only update AFTER you're done editing and it makes for a lot of going back and forth.

  12. Better fine tuning blob brush

    Hello,
    I would like to have a better setting option for the accuracy of the blob brush. The middle setting is actually too straight for me. Lines are straightened mercilessly. If you move the slider one point to the left, they are not straightened enough. That's why it would be great to have four additional options (see screenshot, red lines).

    Thanks a lot
    Gabi

  13. Send proof to customer

    We proof every item to customers before printing. It would be great if there was a tool to send a proof that could be approved through all common design programs. Giving the customer the ability to submit for changes and do a final approval before the job goes to print.

  15. Export for screens: poor JPG compression and custom JPG settings

    The compression and quality when "exporting for screens" in JPG is really bad compared to "Export for web".

    • You cannot customize the quality of the JPG
    • It embeds the color profile in the file, even if you have selected not to do so.

  16. Export for screens: remove suffix "-1" in the name

    It adds the suffix "-1" when exporting artboards, even if you have the field for "suffixes" empty.

  17. Stop changing the name of Illustrator application.

    Most applications retain the same "Application" name between versions. This makes transitioning between versions easy when working with a script-driven automation workflow. Illustrator is unique because the application name changes with every "update". This greatly complicates our ability to easily update Illustrator in our workflow. Please consider maintaining the same application name like most applications do.

  18. les outils sélection sont inversés !

    les outils de sélection et sélection directe sont inversés !

  19. Paint, Draw, Spatter on Vector like Raster for Visual Digital Artisans

    It takes conversations like this to know what customers want to dive into if they see Adobe, & for years I tried but run away from Adobe, it was extreme, even Illustrator. It didn’t feel like the art drawing, medium, etc.

    I grew up learning. No one grew up as a child to use Adobe. But they can if it feels like it on screen. You are #1 and growing too, my voice hopefully adds more light that.

    Combine easier icons that newbies know, more raster in style (Rebelle, Artrage), but Adobe all in one vector that combines the two,…

  20. Aggiungere opzione margini interni e formati di lavoro per social network

    Sarebbe molto utile avere a disposizione i principali formati di lavoro di alcuni social network (post Instagram o Facebook) e tra le opzioni avanzate la possibilità di aggiungere i margini interni al documento.
