  2. Adobe Stock info available in-app

    It would be really helpful to have access in-app to complete information for Adobe Stock Assets, especially the content creator, so that I can credit the image properly in my work. Perhaps a re-tool of the info available in the Libraries panel would be the best way, or even an "i" icon over the image next to the purchase icon?

  5. Resize linked images to 100%, or adjust image’s scale / resolution

    Right click on an imported or linked image (Like a picture you just took with your phone or any other image) and have an option "Resize to Original Size" or "Resize to 100%." Similar to Apple's Keynote application for imported images when you click the button "Original Size."

  6. Simplify the Color Panels

    Why are there so many different panels in Illustrator for working with colors? The color-making panels in InDesign are so much simpler than Illustrator. It's super cumbersome and reminds me of trying to design something in MS Word. Simplify please. Make it like InDesign.

  7. Respect 'Decimal Places' setting in CSS values exported to SVG

    The "Decimal Places" setting in the SVG Options (export) dialog is not respected in style elements.

    Steps to repro:
    New Document
    Create a rectangle with Stroke 3.1459
    Create a new graphic style from the rectangle.
    Save As... Choose SVG
    In SVG Options, set Decimal Places:1 and CSS Properties as Style Elements
    Examine SVG Code
    Look at the 'stroke-width' value in the stylesheet.
    Expected behavior: Stroke width should have 1 decimal only
    Actual behavior: Stroke width is 3.1459.

  8. Provide layer info of linked file in Links panel! helpful when missing link is on inactive layer...

    In multi layered files it is very difficult to spot a missing link if it is not on a visible layer. A simple mentioning of this in the info section would solve this

  11. Improve compatibility of object's features between Illustrator and InDesign

    It's about 80% easy to share an object such as a logo or ad design or similar between the two packages, which is facilitated by the programs sharing an overlapping feature set.

    With some features, such as gradients (InDesign to Illustrator) and type (Illustrator to InDesign) there are serious problems and the feature either doesn't travel across or is corrupted in the process. These problems mean that some parts of your project will easily copy and paste (or travel via PDF export) yet others fail.

    It's not uncommon to use Illustrator as a publishing software for web assets and InDesign…

  12. Libraries - Add Ability to Drag-and-Drop Swatches from Library Panel to Swatches Panel

    Add ability to drag-and-drop a color swatch from the Library Panel to the Swatches Panel.

    The functionality exists in the Library Panel Menu, but can't be executed by drag-and-drop. Drag-and-drop swatches is a age-old UI convention in Illustrator and it feels broken that a user can't currently do this.

  13. Forced column break

    Can we get some decent text handling features that mimic at least fundamental options such as column breaks and a table feature within Illustrator? It's been 30 years now can't you get this done for once and for all?

  14. Copy the 'Indent to here' command from InDesign

    'As it says on the tin'

    So many times you start out creating a graphic and you're in two minds whether to use Illustrator for it's superior vector tools, or InDesign for its superior type control.

    When I need to quickly add a couple of bullets it would be so much easier if I could fake the tab stop of the first line with an em dash and then an 'Indent to here' (Ctrl+) so that any wrapped text is quickly brought into line.

  15. Suddenly Crashing and then Reopening with a Text Import Options pop up. Please fix. What is going on?

    There are many instances mentioned on the web of illustrator file suddenly crashing and a text import options pop up appearing when you try to reopen. The file is then blank. It doesn't matter how many times you have saved it. There is nothing in layers. Please fix

  16. swap stroke and fill in swatch panel

    This would seem self evident to me, but being able to swap stroke and fill in the swatch panel as opposed to going all the way over to the tool bar, or swapping to the color panel would be a definite time and focus saver.

    You can assign your own hotkeys to different tools with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.


    Also, you can pick Pencil, hit Enter )or double-click the tool’s button) to open the Pencil Tool Options dialog and check 'Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool' — this will allow to quickly temporarily access Smooth on the go while you are working with Pencil.


    Same applies to the Brush and Blob Brush stools by default.

  18. Special characters like in InDesign

    It would be reat to have special characters (especially hyphens and white spaces) like in InDesign... and that they work just as good. So far, for example, the "nonbreaking space" doesn't always react well when the text is justified.

  19. Clean gradient distribution between spot and CMYK colors

    Allow clean gradients between spot and CMYK colours. For the moment, it looks greyish between the 2 selected colours.

  20. Non esiste la possibilità di ri-utilizzare un file .ai in adobe Draw. Questo è un problema!

    Nel caso capiti di perdere o sovrascrivere un file creativo online (nel Cloud) dell'App Adobe Draw e si avesse solo l'esportazione del progetto in Illustrator (.ai), non esiste la possibilità di poter ritornare a lavorarci in Adobe Draw! Non esiste un file di scambio al contrario cioè da Illustrator a Draw! Questo può rappresentare un problema serio!
