Save Color Profiles by Default
By default, the color profiles I assign to the file should be saved.
There have been several times I have assigned a color profile to my Illustrator file, saved it as a PDF, and the printed PDF were the wrong colors because Illustrator didn't include the assigned profile. I then had to reopen my file, manually tell Illustrator to include all color profiles when saving, and then reprint.
It is ridiculous that the file doesn't save assigned profiles by default.

Illustrator 2021 is constantly crashing, resulting in my not being able to use it.
stop it from crashing. Whatever you did with the 2021 version, reverse it. It's worse than useless. I cannot get any production.

The same tool as Moho's magnet tool
Has anyone tried Moho by Smithmicro? Pretty fast vector animation tool. It has a drawing adjustment tool called Magnet. Here's how it's described in the manual: "The Magnet tool is similar to the Transform Points tool - it is used to move points around. However, instead of moving the selected points, it moves points based on the strength of the magnet. When you click with this tool, the region of strength is displayed. Any points within this region will move with your mouse, but the points closer to the center of the mouse click will move the most. (The radius…

Please add automated color bar, separation color information - Print PDF output
Hi! I am missing a choice in PDF save or export. In the print industry is needed to add colour information for the customer, what colours is the artwork made from - esp. when we use solid colours. Customers need this for the approval process so we have to add this colour-bar manually. In the PDF (composite PDF) window there are Marks and Bleed choices, but there is missing a choice to choose a colour information automatically generated from the document colours - separations. The colour information can be graphical (squares with separation names) or text based (separation name in…

Advanced Blend Colors Horizontally / Vertically
- make it work with compound paths
- give the user a choice to blend HSB (Blending R and B should give G) e.g. creating a rainbow should be possible with blending colors, but it isn't in the current version.

Remember Kai’s Powertools?
Is there a way you can match what that program used to do? It had a way better vector effects ability to extrude and shatter, etc vector shapes and letters. It worked way better than the 3D function Illustrator has.

Make the preview of the Arabic computer Fonts connected to each other
During our selection of one of the Arabic fonts, the font preview in the list is incorrect in the Arabic letter and it is intermittent instead of being connected as is the case with letters in the Arabic language

Add a default option that lets you choose whether or not edges are shown.
I print labels and we require proof approval from customers. This means the files I end up using ultimately get opened by at least 3 people. Any number of these people can save the files so that edges are hidden, however, on my end, I always want edges shown so I can better see where they are in relation to the white cut box (FXCUT) that's against the white background. I also maintain our proof templates, which, similarly, ends up being opened by multiple people.
The idea I propose is that there be a global default setting for each iteration…

Right align Export destination folder path text on Export for Screens window
My suggestion is to have the 'folder path' text be right aligned in the text box, to have the export destination be more accessible, instead of the root folders.
Currently, I have to click into the folder path text box, then click + drag to see where my file will export to. This is cumbersome and unnecessary.

Add a floating info box for Color Picker and Guides
When dragging a guide from the ruler, a floating info box with the coordinates would be very helpful.
Same for the color picker - a floating color value box, in addition the Info panel that can be hidden when the tool is active.

Allow layers with "print" unchecked to also not render in "output for screens".
Basically, just like the title says. When the "Print" box in a layer's properties is unchecked, that layer will not be printed (or, when exporting, it won't be used in the export).
I'd like this behavior to be continued in export for screens. That way, you can set up layers for overlays and guides but not have to manually hide them before export.
F/E, here's an overlay on a FB mobile sized coverpage; I'd like the blue box etc (on their own non-print layer called "overlays") to be gone on export so that when I export, all that the resulting…

Asset Export: Name assets after the layer they're on
When adding objects to Asset Export, there should be an option to name the assets after the layer they're on. This would be particularly helpful when there are a large number of assets.

The order of the Undo history after executing the script is incorrect.
I checked with macOS X Mojave, Illustrator24.3, and Yosemite, Illustrator CS6.
Below is a sculpt to create a new document, create a rectangle, select and copy, paste and cut. Try it first.
var doc = app.documents.add ();
var rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle (0, 0, 50, 50);
app.copy ();
app.paste ();
app.cut ();After execution, the user can undo it.
The final process is "cut", but what appears in the menu is "undo paste".
Let's cancel it again. The second thing that appears is "undo cut".
Because of this, when you try to return to the pre-execution state, Illustrator almost always thinks…3 votes
