  1. Grey system layout

    The grey system layout is much easier on the eyes than the old style white cs3 look.

  3. Hyperlinks

    When opening a DC ai file on the iPad, if that file had hyperlinks, they get wiped out on the iPad. i certain cases, this makes using the iPad as part of a workflow unusable.

  4. Bullet Points

    You really need to add bullet points to Illustrator for iPad. if a users workflow includes opening a DC file on the iPad that has bullet points, it just does not work because bullet points tool is missing from the iPad version.

  5. Please support iPad Pencil rotation / Barrel Roll

    Why isn't pen rotation enabled in Illustrator for iPad? The Apple Pencil Pro 2024 has the ability to detect pen angle, but Illustrator still doesn't detect pen rotation. For example, Procreate has this feature enabled.
    Please enable iPad barrel roll illustrator in Illustrator.

  6. Baseline shift, or sub/superscript, SOMETHING for ipad please?

    I’m creating woodworking plans and in a lot of cases that involves writing out fractions rather than converting to decimal. But on the ipad there is apparently zero functionality for adjusting baseline shift or for formatting characters as subscript or superscript. If I want to differentiate them from the surrounding text right now it involves adding a big space in the text on one layer, then creating a whole new layer and manually placing/arranging smaller characters to replicate the look.

  7. Export multiple artboards in more than one file format simultaneously and save those settings while working in that document.

    Export multiple artboards in more than one file format simultaneously and save those settings for that document. I have pattern designs that I also need previews for - 12”x12” jpg or png file at 300 dpi, then I need a 1000px x 1000 px at 300 dpi for that same artboard. I’d like to create both of those files in one fell swoop and it remember those settings so I could apply them again to the next group of artboards. Even better if I could name them so that they stayed together when sorted so that I can locate when…

  8. Improve full justification settings

    Would be better if the tools were complete in their function. Missing the options for some justification alignment. Who on earth you should have a tool that looks like was left half way.

  11. Can we get the full toolbar same as the desktop for iPad?

    The full tool bar is necessary for the iPad, having to use 2 different devices is pointless. I didn’t get an iPad to be limited to my abilities with illustrator. I can’t arch I can’t use effect I can’t do a lot and that’s a problem. I didn’t pay for this software to only get bits and pieces of what I had been paying for, for 6+ years. The iPad is fully capable of using the full toolbar let’s implement it.

  12. Can you add a button that ‘Zooms to True Scale’?

    I do a lot of design work where I need to see how big something is in real life. It would be nice if I could tell it to set the view to match the real world. So 1” = 1”, or 1mm = 1mm.

    Ideally it would have a little icon in the bottom right that always shows what the scale factor is compared to the real world (like .25/1 if smaller, or 1.25/1 if zoomed in), then you could click the button and it would snap the zoom to 1/1.

    I currently hold a ruler or calipers up…

  14. Lock stroke size on brushes for iPad.

    I desperately need you to add this feature and it should be a simple add. Should’ve been added a long time ago really.
    I’m using purchased and custom created brushes in Ai for iPad and the stroke ALWAYS scales to the length of the line. I can see how this would be needed or desired in some situations. But not giving me the option to keep my stroke the same whether my lines is short, medium, or long (without manually adjusting each stroke size) is absurd. I use Ai for drawing and illustrating. I shade my drawings using a cross…

  15. A few changes to the pen and pencil tools could make this app perfect

    When drawing for too long with the pencil tool, the entire app gets really laggy because the app is trying to create vectors while I’m drawing. On iPad, there’s no way to turn that off, but on desktop I heard there’s a “Real time” option you can turn off to fix it.

    Also, I would like to be able to hold one finger down while I’m changing a vector, and still have the other point stay still. The vectornator app (now called Curve/Linearity) lets you do this so one anchor point can have vectors facing different ways, and it also…

  16. Copy and paste formatting to text

    Please add a very important abbreviation
    It is paste formatting
    (And copy the same text)
    I suggest its shortcut is ctrl + shift + V
    and
    ctrl + shift + C copy shortcut
    As in MS Word
    It's an important shortcut and makes it much easier at work. Please let me know when it's activated

  17. Re-open "last save folder" when exporting files.

    I would like Adobe to re-open last save folder where I just exported my adobe file on the next item I am saving.

    Instead it always opens iCloud drive folder and and makes me navigate back to the folder I am saving my current projects to.

    I dont need to set a specific folder to save items to as default.
    I just need adobe to remember it and open it on my next save.

    Both illustrator and photoshop have this dumb issue.

  18. Publishing PDF files whit PDF/X-4 compatibility for professional printing

    PDF files for professional printing are high-quality reproductions of your publication that are passed to a print partner (normally external to your company). You'll typically require a CMYK document, printer marks, bleed, >300dpi images, and PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4 compatibility (for CMYK output).

    Affinity Designer 2 can do it!

  19. Vectorize Now button to apply chosen options instead of live update

    I would like to recommend adding a "vectorize now" button and only have something vectorized when I press that button. Right now, vectorizing occurs every time I change an option, which is very time consuming. Thank you!!

  20. Align clipping groups to bounds of the mask, not clipped contents

    Once I make a clipping mask I would like to align the masks and not the objects that are masked. I can not do that now because the aligh function works for the whole masked image
