  1. Save to local storage/other options

    Ability to save files on the iPad´s local storage as well as other cloud services. Full integration with the Files app might be the way to go about this.

    In short, I don’t want Creative Cloud to be my only choice to save files.

  3. Trackpad / Mouse Panning Function

    The current panning function is only possible for touch with 2 fingers.
    Would be really nice to have a panning function or tools like the desktop version when used on desktop mode (using ipad with external keyboard & mouse/trackpad)

  8. Symbols, Symbol sprayer, sizer, and other symbol tools

    Symbols in general are very useful, but especially the symbol tools could benefit from the Apple Pencil greatly, helping in making things such as starry skies or simple textures quickly, easily, and with the precise paths and shapes one may want for those textures or stars. It would also make the iPad illustration process a bit more procedural while remaining intuitive.

  11. Illustrator for iPad - allow me to move common actions bar.

    I’m going through one of the tutorials and I can’t rotate an object because the common actions bar is blocking the rotation node and there is no way for me to move it out of the way.

  12. Glyphs and ligatures for text (in OTF)

    Not being able to access the glyphs and ligatures on an OTF font has meant that I cannot use AI on my iPad. And since that’s my primary tool for design these days, I’ve stopped using Adobe completely. I liked AI on my laptop and I need the iPad to have that full functionality before I can use it again.

  13. Need the ability to make strokes smaller than 1pt.

    I bought my iPad Pro with the intention to use it for architecture and doing the line weights on them after exporting from rhino 6. The issue is I often make the line weights well below 1 pt when doing smaller scaled drawings. With out this ability, adobe is useless on my IPad.

  14. Measure length of paths

    I use Illustrator for landscape design. Using IPad for real-time designing in the field would really be an improvement. It would really be helpful to have a measurement tool or to see the length in the properties tab. The properties tab now only shows W, H, X, Y. Showing the length of a line would help!
