  1. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  8. 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!!

  9. 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

  12. I hope to add the drawing mode to the iPadAI.

    这里少了可以在图形里面绘图的功能,还有实时上色的功能也很需要,希望开发者能够仔细看看,非常重要,感谢
    The function of drawing in graphics is missing, and the function of real-time coloring is also very needed. I hope the developer can take a closer look. It is very important. Thank you.

  13. Make the blob brush feel like the desktop version of the blob brush.

    The blob brush feels really sloppy on iPad. It should work exactly as it does on iPad. I experimented with all the different settings. Nothing made it feel or look anything like it does on desktop. This is the main thing keeping me from drawing on my iPad and instead still using clip studio. I like AI a lot more but the line work on my drawings are vital and the current form of the blob brush jus tisn’t it.

  14. Use different units of measure when transforming object

    When creating an object, I often need to resize it according to specification. In an AI project, I use different units of measure. Say, for instance, that the project has a default unit setting of ‘centimeters’. If I need to create a 7.5x3 inch object, I’d like to be able to type the unit in the width and height fields on the Properties-Transform panel. For example, I want to type height = 7.5 in. The “in” would replace the “cm” which automatically appears in the field.

    This feature is has been available in Illustrator for Desktop app for quite a…

  15. Add a simple "In progress" indicator to the editing window.

    Can you add a simple "In progress" indicator to the editing window?

    A simple blinking object or something to show Illustrator-iPad is busy performing the last Instruction? I do realize doing running Illustrator on an iPad is quite a challenge to resource management, and every bit of processing power has to be managed well.

    When working with complex objects, and Illustrator stops responding to instructions because the last instruction was very a big one, I sometimes wonder if Illustrator is just busy, or has frozen up. To find out I tried taping some other instruction … bad idea.

    Illustrator usually…

  18. Disappointed with Ai performance with simple graphics

    Illustrator was the first software I learned. 1988-1992. Version 4.0? My Mac-daddy Mac Quadra had a 500mb HD and some blazing 128 MB RAM. Illustrator worked well. Cant you dust it off tweak some tools to run well on iPad Pro… Better to run well than frustrate; iPad chipset will catch up. Run the beautiful basics add more as you can. Very disappointed with Ai performance with simple graphics attached waiting to process moves, Mobile Bundle? Not even going to try photoshop. Cancelling in a month. Love to Adobe. Peace

  19. zoom out with 2 fingers optional please

    understandable that some users like the zoom out gesture with 2 fingers

    for all other users - perhaps many - who find it very frustrating and unnecessary, can we please have this gesture as an option?

    on average working 3h with iPad illustrator, even though I very much carefully avoid this gesture, at least 10-20 times in 3h, by total mistake I end up undoing the accidental zoom out, meaning having to zoom in and zoom in and zoom in then pan and pan and pan until I am again where I was before the accidental zoom out
