Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved
Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.
I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the…

It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide
It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide. For example, you can think of it like in the Powerpoint application. Let's randomly add the content we have to a page and let it show us a few random design examples. It doesn't have to be perfect, it could just be at an idea level, maybe?

Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel
I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.

File sync with Synology drive buggy
When I'm saving an Illustrator doc to a Synology Drive folder it almost always says, that the file has been changed outside of Illustrator which it hasn't. Finally after saving and closing it, it hasn't synced with the Synology NAS and I have to manually tell it to upload.
This only happens with Illustrator and Illustrator files. All other programs handle it well. It's seems that there is a proplem with Illustrator and the file provider API from Apple, judging on reports from others with different file provider services.

Add a button to Character panel to enable Snap to Glyph right there
Character panel has Snap to Glyph section, with buttons to toggle different sub-options. But all of these are disabled unless we toggle the main View > Snap to Glyph option.
But...
1. The panel doesn’t tell you this
2. The 'Snap to specific glyph' button is not a button but an hover hint area (a rather small one, and it blinks hysterically, at least on Windows)
3. The panel just doesn’t have the button to enable the main optionWHY? What was the reason to allow to toggle sub-options but permit to enable toggling them?

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!!!
