I can't believe this hasn't had more votes already!
To operate just as it does in Photoshop please Adobe Illustrator Devs.
I want to pick up something from one open file then go File > New and select a 'From clipboard size' option that autosizes the new artboard in the resulting document to the object in the paste buffer.
Thanks!

This isn't just related to InDesign, I likewise receive PDFs generated by CAD programs which contains layers when view in Acrobat but when you open these in Illustrator the structure is obliterated.
This needs to be addressed as you can waste hours trying to unpick the damage done.

As much as I love being able to have this space available as some kind of support network for like minded individuals who share a common angst. Please can you move this from the backlog to the 'front' log and expedite this 'feature' and provide an indicative timeline for when we can expect its release?
I suggest you incorporate into a sub version release asap and not hold this one back until November's MAX event. Else you might subject yourselves to much ridicule on the subject of it taking you so long to finally see the light :D
Thanks!

Thank you @Neeraj Nandkeolyar - this is so long over due! Could you give an approximate timeframe when we can expect this feature to be added?

It doesn't look like this is moving beyond review anytime fast!
For anyone looking for a very affordable offset solution, look no further that Rick's Toolshed plugin here: https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#toolshed
The offset can be preset to a specified distance, applied to open paths, and even be duplicated multiple times and then mirrored along the path.

Just posted this in a specific eyedropper request (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/38115490-eyedropper-tool-usable-during-color-picker) but this one has more support so will add here as well.
When re-writing the code for the eyedropper please look to make it available for selection from within the colour panel (it's already there on the gradient panel), and also the pop up dialog when creating a colour swatch. The reason for the later is so that it is easy to edit a swatch that is already in use in an existing file and replace the colour with something else sampled from elsewhere on the screen, be that inside the Illustrator app, or otherwise.

I'm not going through 5 pages of comments so apologies if this has already been mentioned but libraries also need to support Freeform gradients. While you're at it Adobe, please update the swatch panel so that these can also be saved there!
I know you can save artwork to the library with gradients applied and then uncouple the colour from the shape once you Alt-drag it back into a file from the CC Library, but hacks are hacks and this really should just work properly.

Agreed!
I'm in the middle of updating a tonne of assets as the company has gone through a rebrand exercise with an entirely different colour palette. My new colours are available to me via CC Libraries, it would streamline the process if when double-clicking on a swatch, I could then sample from the updated library palette to automatically apply the changes to the corresponding artwork by updating the respective swatches.

Dear Users,
Hope you are well and safe during these uncertain times. We at Adobe wish you well.
I am glad to announce that we have completed this feature in Beta and are actively seeking your feedback to help us understand if this feature meets your workflow needs.
All the users who subscribed to our pre release program would have received an email from me to welcome you to our new Beta program. The new Beta program gives you access to the Large Canvas feature and also seeks your feedback through the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7ZDMD5L
This survey link can also be accessed within the app.
For everybody else, I would ask you to join our pre release program (https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/85A6F544-2705-49BD-8314-DD549C6A1713#) and we will give you access to the new beta program. We hope each one of you is able to try the new build and give us feedback.
Look…

That looks like a limit to me? The request is to remove it. ... a.k.a infinite canvas.
I don't want a 10x increase in canvas size at the detriment of limited zoom functionality.
My biggest issue with the canvas limit is not being able to bring in massive CAD files used for masterplanning/road improvement schemes and the like without some poor attempt at re-scaling.
This also means that while looking at this, you also need to be improving how Illustrator can be better suited to handling multi-million points/paths.
This feels like you're trying to find a way to fit this functionality into the current setup with an additional bit of code instead of overhauling what is a fairly archaic limitation.

Take a look at what Affinity are doing, they have a really neat PDF handler in Designer & Publisher which prompts you to group lines of text together when you open the PDF. It works really well, shame I don't seem to be able to export that back out to IDML/AI as these are only supported for importing. EPS/SVG or anything else for that matter doesn't appear to retain the text flow.
C'mon Adobe you're the big dog where PDFs are concerned, are you gonna let that chiwawa get one over you?
