  1. When in pixel perfect mode (making PNG's), it would be nice if print reflected this.

    By now the prints are in vektor and do not reflect the works...

  2. Please make the slicing more like Fireworks with naming and sizes individual for each artboad (like stages/pages in Fireworks).

    Currently I can not export bitmap icons with the the right names and in the right sizes as in Fireworks including padding.
    And when I go to another document for a different platform (an app), I have to include the different sizes again.
    Also I have no preview like in legacy before I overwrite the old picts.
    Making graphics for mobile devices, your presets are based on the lowest resolution (@1). Some user control please...
    Bring back Fireworks...

  3. Go back to old Align to Pixel check box

    I wish Illustrator would go back to having a check box for align to pixel. That way I could see just by clicking on an object or objects that it is aligned. Now, in Illustrator CC 2017, I have to select every object seperately and press the new button on the top right, in order to get the message that it is aligned.

  6. Color themes scroll bar

    The Color Themes panel in Illustrator does not have a scroll bar. I am using a Wacom tablet, but the Color Themes panel does not scroll even when I have assigned the function "scroll" to its scroll bar. I can scroll in other applications, both Adobe and others, so it doesn't seem like the fault of the tablet or tablet driver. The fact that there is no scroll bar in the default UI so it can be used with any input device is a glaring oversight. The panel is nearly useless without one.

  9. Keep items selectioned/highlighted visually apparent for efficient editing/manipulating

    In CC2017 the element(s) highlighted do not remain “visually” highlighted, nor do the guides. I can highlight several thing — text, boxes, guide — and I want to be able to see what is highlighted and move them with my arrow keys. It’s very disconcerting to use the direct selection tool, click on something (highlight it) and when I move away from that item it no longer looks visually highlighted. When I am working on complex charts/graphs/figures I need to be able to see everything I highlighted/selected as I am moving or editing them.

  11. Import SVG masks without crashing

    Illustrator app crashes when an SVG mask is referenced more than once. This has been in successive releases of Illustrator. Also nested masks aren't supported either.

  12. 【要望】境界にジャギが発生するのを改善して欲しい

    CC2015から2017にアップデートしてから、
    Aiで作成したデータにpsdファイルをリンクしてサイズを縮小すると、
    pdf保存をした際やaiファイルをPsから直接開いた際、
    透明の境界にジャギが発生するようになりました。

    Aiでの作業中は特に境界が見えることはなく、あくまでそのファイルを
    pdf保存またはPsから直接開いた場合のみに限ってのことです。

    ※「書き出し」からpsd形式にした場合はジャギが発生しませんが、
    　アンチエイリアスのかかり方が気に入らないためできればAiで
    　完成させたデータをそのままPsで開きたいです。
    ※以前のバージョンでも縮小したリンクファイルのあるAiデータを
    　pdf化するとファイルの境界にジャギが発生していましたが、
    　pdfだけだったため作業に支障はありませんでした。

    psdファイルを原寸で作成して原寸でリンクすれば良いのですが、
    レイアウト段階では大きいサイズでリンクして最終的に使用するサイズに
    縮小することが多いので可能であれば以前のバージョンのように
    直接Psから開いてもジャギが発生しないプログラムにできないでしょうか。
    文章での説明だとわかりにくいため、サンプルを作成して添付しました。

    古いバージョンのようにpsdファイルにパスを作って透明部分をカットし、
    epsファイルに変換してリンクすればジャギは発生しませんでしたが、
    それだと操作性・効率が悪く非常に作業がしにくいです。

    今のところリンクファイルにPs側で少し光彩をかけて境界をぼかすと
    ジャギが発生しないことがわかったためそれで対応していますが、
    光彩をかけられないデザインの場合もあるため対処に困っています。

    自分で解決策が見つけられればと思い色々と検証してみましたが、
    効果的な方法を見つけることが出来なかったので、
    次回以降のアップデートで改善して頂けると大変ありがたいです。
    もしOS側の問題（Wondows8や10なら発生しない）のようでしたら
    その旨をアップデートの際ユーザーに送られるメールなどに
    記載して頂けると助かります。

    検証バージョン
    OS:Windows7
    Ps:Photoshop CC 2017

    Ai:Illustrator CC 2017

  14. The process of making icons design is made easier in Adobe Illustrator CC.

    When an illustrator or designer designs a collection of pictograms or icons designs they must arrange artboards in large quantities for different icons design according to the needs of the web, apps, and other products. Adobe Illustrator CC must provide special needs for artboard settings to facilitate the process of designing a collection of pictograms or icons design with large numbers to suit many needs such as for web, apps, games, favicons, etc. Facilitate the work process becomes lighter and faster.

  15. Remove F1 key as help key

    I use the F-keys frequently for Actions. However, F1 is defaulted to launching Illustrator's help screen and I'm regularly hitting the key by mistake. Could we please have a different way to launch the help screen and free up the F1 key for other, customisable, uses?

    Thank you Ryan for your help.
    Here is the way to customise the keys – please thank Ryan if you found it useful.

    “You can go to edit/keyboard shortcuts, then choose menu commands. Find help, and clear the F1 key from it or pick it as another one. Save it as your own custom keyboard preset and you’re good to go.”

  16. Automation when opening multiple identical files for adjustments

    Have 5 identical DXF files that need to be opened at the same scale (1-1 mm) centered on a 12 x 24 artboard and saved out as PDF. Some way to record this like an action so that when the second file is opened the scale, rulers and save as options are preserved, and perhaps the save to location. Process perhaps 300 such files per year and this would be a huge time saver. Even if only a single file it would be nice to have some persistent parameters that could be set when opening a file such as always…

  18. Pg Up & Pg Down

    Hi guys! I have a feature request. Usually the rule of thumb is if you can hotkey it or select it from a menu then you can build it into an action. There's one exception I've found.

    Illustrator will respond to using the Page Up and Page Down keys on your keyboard to navigate your artboards. BUT it ignores these commands if you're recording an action.

    We could make some really robust and powerful actions if we could program actions to navigate through the artboards. Please please please add this?

    PS it would also be amazing if variables could navigate…

  20. Export to SVG, export page knockout groups.

    Page knockout groups seem to be ignored when exporting to SVG. You can manually change the knockouts to cutouts, for example using pathfinder divide and deleting the unwanted parts, but would be nice if you didn't need to.
