1. Select Fill or Stroke Does Not Make Selection Automatically Edit-Ready

   For years I have been frustrated with how anytime I want to edit fills or strokes, Illustrator seems to ALWAYS have the wrong choice forward in the tools panel! It seems to always know when I want to edit strokes, because it always has fills ready to edit in the foreground swatch and vice-versa! All these years I just felt is was some sort of voodoo thing, but I finally realized why this happens to me the majority of the time. I use Select>Same>Fill Color, Select>Same>Stroke Color, Select>Same>Stroke Weight all the time. The main reason I make those selections by targeting them in that manner from the Select Menu is because that is what I am getting ready to change in the artwork. So, if I choose Select>Same>Fill for instance, it would really be nice if AI would automatically switch the active swatch to "Fill" as well... and so on. This is not always the case of course, but 90% of the time that is what I am wanting to do. So it would be nice to at least have a Preference setting to enable that option for those 3 selection commands and maybe hold down the Alt Key when choosing to give the opposite swatch priority. This would save a ton of clicks!

2. Adobe installers for Mac install corrupt files

   Adobe installers for Mac install corrupt files, as shown by DiskWarrior "Files - Check All Files and Folders”. For instance:

   /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/LWA/amtservices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/._Info.plist

   /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/LWA/asneu.framework/Versions/A/Resources/._Info.plist

   It would be great if Adobe checked that to make sure all files are OK before releasing installers. Thanks.

3. Save Vector Artboards by Clipping Vector Art to the Artboard

   I need for vector artboards to be fully clipped to the artboard when saving as PDF and/or any other vector format. I have vector artwork for large format printing that I have cropped into many artboards in the same file. When I save individual artboards as PDF, any lines that extend outside the artboard are still available in the saved PDF file when opened in Illustrator. I need artboards to truly clip the vector artwork or I need another solution to this issue. Clipping masks do not actually clip vector artwork, in Outline Mode, the entire artwork is still there. The scissor and knife tools are painfully time consuming. Why is there no way to save just the data that you want to save?

5. USE of .CXF FILES within adobe cc

   As >cxf files will soon be the future of colour communication why do x-rite and adobe not integrate .cxf files with each other. The idea of a .cxf file is to help stabilise colour across various substrates, regardless of background hue, it allows the use of a spectrophotometer to read the colour and match it against a dE tolerance to make sure the colour is within specified range.
   Hence pantone live was born as every pantone book differs in colour, however a .cxf file never changes.

   So pantone want you to use pantone live, which is fine until the colour you want is not in a pantone book, from a print perspective thats ok with me. We simply measure the colour generate a .cxf file and do a drawdown on the substrate and get it within tolerance.

   But the problem arises when the designer is given the .cxf file, which he cant use because its not compatible, he then has to alloocate a spot colour from pantone and instruct the printer doing the job to replace the pantone colour with the .cxf file which leaves the whole loop very vulnerable.

   Now adobe get your act together after all you are supposed to be the market leaders in graphic art.

   And x-rite stop ******* about and allow a .cxf file to be re saves as a .ase file so we can all start talking to each other !!!!!!

6. Display copies of links' duplicates as instances, like in InDesign

   It would be nice if Illustrator's link panel was more link InDesign's in that it collapsed instances of the same linked file into an accordion. The user can then update multiple instances of a file to the same new link or link them individually to separate new links.

7. Autofind Missing Links like in Indesign

   When I'm relinking a missing image in Indesign, it automatically finds other missing links in the same folder that a relinked to. It would be life changing if Illustrator did the same. Currently you have to manually relink each missing link which can become very tedious.

   Under Review  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   As stated in this request’s status update, the team had to temporarily revoke the 'Search for missing links in this folder' feature to make a way for the missing 'Apply to All' option when relinking, starting with version 29.2.

   These two can’t coexist at the moment, and the team intends to come up with a better solution to allow both.

8. Increment/Decrement Stroke Weight key commands

   My kingdom for Increment/Decrement Stroke Weight key commands! These commands could be bound to the [ and ] keys by default since this is how you control brush weight. It would be wonderful if you could set the increment/decrement amounts in Preferences as well!

9. Transform by Reference Line Numerically

   I would love to see a "Transform by Reference Line Numerically" feature where user draws a line across an object in any direction, then is able to specify the size they want. This is helpful for raster images where there is no actual vector line to accurately resize to. I use embroidery digitizing software and this is a cool feature. Wilcom Software Transform by Reference Line Numerically.

   I've included a screen shot of the Wilcom Manual to hopefully explain better than i can articulate.

10. Gradient properties in the properties panel

    I am liking the new properties panel, but currently if i want to fill an object with a gradient, i still need to access this via its own window. Would be great if gradient options could be incorporated into the Appearance section of the Properties Panel

11. Missing a Modal Pop up

    Dear Adobe...
    If I spend time organizing my art and putting it onto multiple layers and contains HUNDREDS of pieces, when I make a masking layer you take my artwork and smash it all into one layer WITHOUT popping a modal saying this will smash it all into one layer and waste a day of your life having to re-organize it into layers again because a stakeholder requested edits...You failed me. Bad Adobe BAD.

    Please fix this, it's really not cool. When I think of all the hours of my life that you have wasted on things like this over the last 18 years it's pretty upsetting. I am sure it adds up to a couple of months of lost time at this point. I could have spent that with my kids instead.

12. The default unit of measure option for stroke shouldn't be pixels.

    The default unit of measure option for stroke shouldn't be pixels, because I don't think that's a good way to guide the flock.

14. A big persistent Color palette offering RGB and HSB and Grayscale at a glance.

    When making Illustrations, I switch between RGB / HSB and Grayscale all the time. I have a 30" screen - room enough to show all mixers all the time.
    Please make this possible.

16. Export for Screens without bleed option

    Export screens without the bleed

    I really like the feature called Export screens, but I do not really use it for print jobs, cause I can't export any picture format file without the bleed section of the document, which I use to show the client the stages of the job. Still, I could do the same with Save for web function, but it would be very very useful to export multiple artboards at the same time without the bleed.

18. Ability to change the default swatches

    I'd really like to open up a new document with a predetermined default swatch selection. I know this can be done by saving swatches and saving your workspace but if I want to add new colors, I can't to the saved swatch window.

20. Colours in Diagramms adjust to numbers

    It would be cool that if I create a pie chart that I can name a "master colour" and Illustrator automatically adjust the colour transparency in percent. Or if I could say these are my colors, combine them in a smart way so that a bar chart gets a smart gradient
    Thanks guys,
    Fran
