    Philip Osborne, absolutely brilliant distillation of our woes. You must be a fan of "The Office".

    It may be that this "Illustrator Feature Requests" has fallen on def ears because no Adobe input has been witnessed since 2017. Just looking around at other requests it appears as though "How can we improve Illustrator?" is merely a rhetorical question.

    Anyway, let's keep them coming my fellow professionals and fill their inbox with votes for freedom. Down With the 227! (5779.541 mm for you metrics)

    While adobe acrobat is a wonderful format for cross platform support and compatibility it should not limit the user within the design software. If the ultimate output is pdf then there should be a limitation process during the output process much like when using transparencies and spot colors.
    It is far easier to scale work after creation than before and regardless of the final output platform limits there should be no limitations on the design process. It’s called “Creative Cloud” not “Acrobat Cloud”. I’m not sure which user experience they are catering too but I assure you it’s not Adobe’s core customer paying their dues by the millions. Actually, I cannot assure you of anything because I don’t know Adobe’s inner operations, but I don’t care, I’m overly irritated by the lack of Adobe’s response to this change request and I’ll assume they are ignoring us until proven otherwise.

    The “working in scale” model should have died along with the T-Square and French Curve.
    Adobe, tear down this wall!
    Pretty please?

    It’s called a “Workaround” but you can call it whatever you want; Working in scale, adjusting to limitations, or paying more while getting less.

    No one is saying they cannot function because of this limitation, we are simply expressing why should we work within this limitation when other less mainstream applications have no such limitations?

    This is still a problem in 2018. Where is Adobe's input on this? Everyone on notice for this suggestion thread needs to bump it. Let's flood Adobe!!!

    1000 art boards isn't the solution. Indesign takes care of that. I don't think there are many people using Illustrator to create multi page catalogs, and if they are then they are using the wrong app for that. People need to be able to design art for banners, flags, airplanes, boats, cars etc at full size. This makes no sense to me why there would be limits. While a scaling fatorizer would be a nice feature, it's not the solution. It's a work around.
    Adobe Illustrator is supposed to be the de facto of design applications but yet it consistently leaves its users wanting when other programs have had these basic and common sense features for decades.

    Here is your "More Info": No, a workaround is not adequate.
