Illustratorのレイヤーパネル内でも透明度の設定をアクセスできるようにして欲しい I want you to be able to access the transparency settings even in the Illustrator layer panel.
タイトルの通りです。現在は｢透明｣パレットしかアクセスできないので、使い勝手をPhotoshopみたいにレイヤーパネル内で透明度の設定が出来ると、尚便利です。
As the title says. Currently, only the "transparent" palette can be accessed, so it is even more convenient if you can set the transparency in the layer panel like Photoshop.1 vote -
One click flatten button, to Expand text and strokes for print/sharing
Hi everyone,
I'm a computer graphic design teacher at NABA. While teaching Adobe Illustrator, I’ve found it challenging to explain the concept of Expand Appearance and how to properly flatten text and lines for final output.It would be incredibly helpful to have a one-click solution that automatically handles proofing—expanding appearances, flattening both text and lines—and clearly indicates that the AI or PDF file is ready for print or delivery.
I hope this suggestion makes sense. Many thanks!

アウトライン未完了アラートの実装化
印刷工程時において、入稿用のデータにアウトラインがかかっていないことで印刷事故や再入稿が頻発しています。これはオペレーターの作業ミスによるものですが、データの保存時に「アウトライン未完了のアラート」があればかなり減らせます。世界中の印刷工程で起こっている問題ですので是非早急に実装してください。

Searchbar for layers or simple filters
The same idea what we can find in PS. Possibility to show just a specific layers depends type of the filter. For example showing just a lock layers will be nice or show layers with specific fill color. If I've got a huge amount of layers in the project, event if I try to naming them I spend too much time for looking for locked layer or some specific one.

イラストレーターを20年使い続けているが、めちゃくちゃ使いにくくなっていってる。
本当にAdobeは開発するやる気があるのか？Xdも使えてたのに使えなくなったし、どんどんお客を離れさせる原因ばかりを無理やり作っている。

A feature to copy the element as any file format and be able to paste it on any other software we want.
A feature to copy the elements in Illustrator as format, like if I create an icon I should be able to copy the icon as "SVG" or any other file format and be able to paste in any tool that I suite me. That way I don't have to keep exporting my Icons every time I create one. Figma already have that option. This is valuable for me because I work on multiple tools like Figma and Illustrator and I like to design my own Icons and I don't like Figma for designing my Icons I prefer Illustrator and exporting it every time is bit of a inconvenient to me.

1 voteAccording to the team, SVG copy/paste was disabled by default as many customers see performance issues on Windows 11 (due to clipboard recorder). It can get enabled back again in Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Include SVG Code.

More intelligent expanding of brushes to create one complete live path, without the need to manually edit and join.
More intelligent expanding of brushes to create one complete live path. Currently need to manually edit and join the path as it duplicates at the position of each brush repeat. I suppose what i want is for the expand to automatically average and join the segments of the pattern brush.

Free Transform Tool - Free Perspective & Free Distort should be there own tools with short cut.
Free Perspective & Free Distort should be there own tools with shortcuts (or that we can make custom shortcuts for), or a way to quickly filter through by hitting a key to get to the option needed (ie you hit E to bring up free transform, then hit E to select alt options like Free Perspective & Free Distort) having to scroll over to a tiny panel to select which I want to use is time that could be saved. I know the panel floats, but having to open Free Transform then move the panel near what I need, then if I use it later it's now in the way so I have to move it again. It's just a lot of a added hassle. I think it might be better that they are their own tolls like with Shear, Skew, Rotate etc. The holding shift just as with the other tools constrains proportions so that extra click is also probably not needed. To sum I think it would be great if we had a Free Transform, Free Perspective, & Free Distort as individual tools instead of the latter two being only in a panel widget connected to the Free Transform tool. Thank you.

Pen tool work flow
I use several Adobe products and the Pen tool’s work flow in Illustrator is terrible. A lot of functionality is separated into several different tools that could all be wrapped together into one beautiful tool. The Pen tool’s work flow within Photoshop works so much better! (Make a line, Add or subtract anchor points, Add or break curves, move an anchor point, move a line, rotate a selection of anchor points.) You can do all of this with the Photoshop version of the pen tool as one tools work flow. Within Illustrator you have to switch between a different tool to do every step of the process, adding a bunch of unnecessary steps just to do one simple task. Why do I need to switch do a different tool to break the curve? Having to press Shift+C should not be a thing. ALL IN ONE PEN TOOL WORK FLOW PLEASE 🙏

Center Align Area Type
The area type justification settings aren't working. If there is a text box with more than one line of text, it will not justify properly. There are no extra settings for the text boxes - ie. padding, and I tried making new area type text boxes as well.

Group multiple entities from multiple layers keeping layers
When you Group a selection of entities from multiple layers all comes in a single layer.
In many case it should be mandatory to group those elements in a new Group but keeping the layers or at least a new layer with the original layers as "sublayers" so you can still filter objects by layer, and select all at one by selecting master layer.1 vote -
Select with Pencil tool
I would like to use the Pencil tool as a lasso selection. So instead of drawing the selection you can create a shape of lines and when the loop is closed everything inside is selected.
I miss this when I'm sitting with irregular patterns that have lots of similar object and i would like to select a bunch of them.1 vote -
Please provide an option to not create compound paths with Pathfinder's crop/clipping function.
When objects completely overlap, recent versions of Illustrator now use compound paths. While this method is indeed superior in that it allows for non-destructive re-editing, I preferred the previous irreversible clipping even when objects completely overlapped. If you can't revert it back, could you at least add an irreversible option?

The box selection increases the selected items within the box selection, leaving the others unselected
Adobe Illustrator 2025 Currently, I want to box the font, and there is a border below. I select the box, and the border below is also selected. However, I don't want to lock it. I hope to increase the selection of the selected box and leave the others unselected

Make color choosing UI consistent
I never like it when the big color chooser with the square color gradient and numeric fields pop up.
Why does it exist?
Would like to have a user preference to choose the color picker in stead of having Illustrator to popup with several different color mixers.When double clicking the stroke or fill color, the big unusefull (imho) thing pops up, when clicking a swatch, a compact mixer pops up.
For me, it would be nice to construct my own combination of color mixers: RGB and HSB in 1 view, with sliders, without the big picking gradient, without cmyk, without hex. And with a context sensitive button 'Add to Swatches'.

Avoid text converted to outlines when opening PDF
[Previous discussions in https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/avoid-text-converted-to-outlines-when-opening-pdf/m-p/15352684]
Currently Adobe Illustrator automatically and arbitrarily converts text parts to outlines, making these parts not editable nor selectable.
It's not related to fonts, because that font is on my computer, and, other text parts that has exactly the same font are editable and not converted.
It's just because of the code point. For example, in term
∀𝑥, the ∀ (U+2200) is editable and 𝑥 (U+1D465) is converted to outline. I really dislike this arbitrary behaviour. If compatibility is considered critical, the program should at least give an option to allow us the users to choose whether to convert them to outlines[Previous discussions in https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/avoid-text-converted-to-outlines-when-opening-pdf/m-p/15352684]

Allow to change the color of a 3D material without editing it in Substance
Die Änderung der Materialfarben für die 3D-Darstellung in Illustrator funktioniert nicht - insbesondere die Farbänderung ist nicht möglich. Hier muss mann immer umständlich neue Farben in Substance anlegen :/
Changing the material colors for the 3D rendering in Illustrator doesn't work—especially changing the color isn't possible. You always have to laboriously create new colors in Substance :/
