Integrate with AEM to enable linking assets without having to work with them locally
By using Adobe Experience Manager as a DAM and having to work locally with links in Illustrator the user experience is awful. We need to download the folder from the DAM and then work on the file and links knowing that the next person to work on that will need to to the same, it's very time consuming for our team

A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts
A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts for specific tools and commands, giving more flexibility for personalized workflow.
Customizable keyboard shortcuts would enhance productivity by allowing users to streamline their workflow and reduce time spent navigating menus. This would be especially beneficial for users who rely on specific tools frequently.
Adding a simple interface to assign or modify keyboard shortcuts, and offering a "Save as Default" option, would provide users with more control over their experience, making the tool even more efficient for professional and personal use.
1 voteIllustrator already allows users to customize hotkeys with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. There are many restrictions users have with it, but perhaps you meant something specific. Please elaborate.

Generate a full calendar design with a text prompt from a custom template
I think this will be the next level of GenAI
The idea is to generate text using AI recognition from the customized template and add multiple artboards with Gen AI.For example:
If we have a calendar design for January 2025 with editable text.
We input the prompt like "generate remaining months of 2025"
The GenAI feature should recognize the template, colors, and text within.
The GenAI should make additional artboards with the remaining months and accurate data keeping the template and the colors consistent.1 vote -
I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature
I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature, which can be in the settings and the user can set it up (somewhat personalized)
Example:
- I need a reminder to hit save every 5 minutes.
- I would like to set a reminder for a mistake I usually do half way through my design. (so maybe a reminder to double check the artwork process)1 vote -
Can you build an illustrator that crashes every minute instead of every five minutes?
Can you build an illustrator that does not crash every single day? How is this possible? Used to be able to run illustrator for weeks without a crash and now it crashes everyday. Your garbage products get worse by the minute. Useless!!!

Add a Text to Speech Feature for those with Dyslexia or other handicaps.
Include in the Illustrator and other Adobe application features the accomodation of Text To Speech. That way when people who are dyslexic or have another handicap may be having a hard time, when you are able to have the computer read the directions of tutorials, etc to you.

Wacom 6D brushes / better performance and extended settings for calligraphy brushes
It would be nice if there were more options for textures in Ai. The basic brush set “Wacom 6d-Brushes” was an interesting approach. Unfortunately, the brushes are not useful for round shapes. The rendering only divides the projection into straight lines. Basically, I think they are ordinary calligraphy brushes with some custom settings.
I wish that the settings for brushes in general were a bit more advanced and usable.
Opacity and speed are important parameters for intuitive drawing and would make contours so much more vivid...1 vote -
Put gradients in swatch groups, option to make them global, work between Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop
It's a three-in-one suggestion around the entire universe of gradient issues in Adobe software.
A. Why can't we put gradients in swatch group folders? This seems like a very basic feature for swatch organization.
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31389250B. Why can't the gradient be global so editing a swatch position or color in the gradient panel moves/changes it across all uses of the gradient relative to the current scale of that gradient?
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33164479 and
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37224865)C. Why can't we save gradient swatches in a way that is shareable between other Adobe software? Available gradient styles are also inconsistent in the Adobe-verse.

Make an option for shadows from separate 3D objects to be unified to avoid overlapping darkness
Why do shadows overlap if applied to multiple shapes at the same time?
Shadows are subtractive and so applying the shadows individually to each shape makes no sense as you end up with a darker patch where the two objects' shadows overlap, which is not how shadows work. There should be an option to toggle to apply shadows as one unified "shape" or effect so that this is not an issue.1 vote -
Custom keyboard shortcuts for File Commands should work when no document is open.
Because custom keyboard shortcuts only work when a file is open, some File Commands like New from Template don't work when you would need it.

Preferences did not copy from previous Ai version to Ai 2025
The recent Illustrator update did not copy all the our previous settings & preferences. So we need to manually do it again. Previous versions doesn't have this issue? The only reason why we update is because our clients are using the latest Ai, but after update, preferences need to MANUALLY RE-DO! Why it keeps on happening! We are a 24/7 company. My goodness! Adobe!

Explode Command
There's a command in Autodesk 3ds max called "explode", it will ungroup a group of elements and all sub-groups under it, so if there's a group that includes multiple levels of sub-groups, they will all explode to individual elements or objects, would love to see that in Illustrator and Photoshop

More templates for phones
Would be great to have consideration of other mobile phone devices on market, not just focusing on Apple. Or remove the Apple phones & just have the sizes on handsets.

Remove the requirement for an application frame for multiple monitors
I don't use the application frame, as it is less productive. Please remove the requirement to use an application frame for multiple monitors. There is NO technical reason why I can't simply drag a document from one monitor to another.

文字プロパティの「さらに検索」の言語表示を改善
文字プロパティの「さらに検索」で母国語以外の他言語が上位表示される仕様になっている。
日本ユーザーの場合、韓国語が上位表示されており、利便性に欠けるとともに、ローカライズが出来ていない状態といえる。
ユーザーの母国語を最優先に表示する仕様に改善すべきと考える。
