Feature Requests

Upon creating a new file, there are plenty of template, but none are custom made.I Always wanted the hability to create a custom template with canvas size, RGB or CMYK, multiple Canvas or not, bleed etc. Custom swatche for our brands colors and remove the one we never uses.cherry on top would be to choose a default font. The hability to save / modify it or delete it, and of course find it in the New document window.The hability to download community templates woud be great too.

Just like Drop Shadow, but clipped to the inside of an object. I imagine this would be so easy to implement and would have saved me a ridiculous amount of time over my decades long career.

I often have three apps open on my desktop while I work in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop and their toolbars all look pretty much the same when I’m popping back and forth. If they were different colours it would be very helpful. Right now I constantly end up losing the InDesign screen to an Photoshop or Illustrator image. It’s obviously not fatal, but it’s annoying as hell. (Why don’t you have a suggestion category for InDesign anyway?) 

When LAB spot colors are added to a creative cloud library, they’re automatically converted to RGB or CMYK, based on the color profile of the current document. This is a huge problem when trying to maintain consistent color across multiple documents using different color profiles, and has made it impossible to share a color library across our organization. 

The default zoom percentages are not always ideal for what I’m working on. lt would be very helpful to be able to change the default zoom percentages in preferences. 

The $65 monthly charge is too steep when it includes features and programs that are not relevant to me. I doh’t do video, websites, animation, etc. I pay $20 a month for Lightroom and Photoshop. I would pay $30 a month for those programs plus InDesign and Illustrator.

I’d like to be able to treat artboards as a group for moving, printing and other operations. The option to enable bleed for individual artboards

It would be great if the software didn't crash so much and was more stable; I think that's the first thing that should have been prioritized. Working with your software is a nightmare. You could also improve your lack of customer support. I don't know how the other apps work, but Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop are awful.

I constantly accidentally detach windows from the sides of the screen, and it’s becoming really frustrating. I wish there was an option to lock windows in place once they’re docked, so they can’t accidentally be dragged or detached.Ideally, the windows should still be resizable while locked, but their position and docking state should remain fixed. This would make the interface much more stable and prevent accidental movements when working quickly or trying to resize a window.A simple “Lock window position” or “Lock docked windows” option would solve this problem and make the overall workflow much less frustrating.

We need enhanced Variable Data functionality in Adobe Illustrator similar to InDesign's Data Merge. The key requirement is supporting multi-styled text within a single Area Type frame/Point text while using dynamic variables.

It should be a good idea to add a cancel button (or clickable "close" icon) on the turntable generation popup window.If I select an element of a generated complex object, made of several shapes (with the direct selection tool instead of the selection arrow for example), instead of the whole object, I'd like to have the possibility to cancel the calculation. Or if the calculation time is too long.

The UI is overcrowded. Please get rid of all the double toolbars, buttons, and more more. You are good in hiding essential functions, why not hide the unused ones?

I would like to report an issue with the new object selection behavior in the latest Illustrator update.The previous selection workflow was much faster and more intuitive. I could simply drag a selection box around multiple objects and select them together, then move or resize them easily. This was especially useful when working with logos and complex vector designs that contain many separate elements.After the latest update, the selection process has become unnecessarily complicated. I now need additional keyboard combinations in situations where they were not previously required. This adds extra steps to very basic actions and makes the overall workflow significantly slower and less comfortable.This is not simply a matter of being “used to the old version.” The previous behavior required fewer actions and was objectively more efficient for selecting and moving multiple objects.I have already reset Illustrator preferences and even completely uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator, bu

Can you please allow all the color libraries access to the Palette Generator?

When an object has a pattern fill, Illustrator should display the current pattern scale (e.g. 50%, 100%, 125%) and allow users to edit it directly. Currently, pattern transformations can be adjusted through Transform commands, but there is no obvious way to see the existing scale of a pattern. This makes it difficult to reproduce or maintain consistent pattern sizing across objects.

I use the dimensions on the transform toolbar on an hourly basis. Shoehorning the turntable tool into this toolbar at the expense of the dimension information is annoying and severly disruptive to my workflow. It would be ok if it were something that could be customised and removed if it wasn’t wanted but as usual this hasn’t been taken into account. Your customers don’t need to be force fed new features they need to be able to work effectively and maybe explore new features as and when they have the time. Yet again it’s another innovation that has been added at the expense of the usability of the program. It’s getting really tired to have to revert to older versions of illustrator and/or photoshop just so I can do my job.

The align option currently gives us three options: to object, to artboard, to selection. It would benefit my workflow for a fourth option where one could align to bleed. This would be helpful in my workflow, reducing having to create a shape then size it of the bleed and using align to key object.

Auto spell-check only works for Basic text with no style modifications… please expand this to include text with appearance modifications – I always have a variety of text, and if some is highlighted as incorrect, but others in the same document are not, they can be missed. Please update the auto-spell-check to address all text.

Could we please get manual sorting back for colors in Creative Cloud Libraries? Automatic sorting is fine, but I usually need to arrange my palettes in a specific visual order, and drag‑and‑drop was the most useful way to do that. Thanks for considering it!

Dear Adobe,Whoever decided to remove the layer color controls in Illustrator 30… we need to have a little sit-down.For decades, this feature worked. Nobody was asking for it to disappear. It minded its own business. It helped professionals do their jobs. And then one morning it wakes up wearing concrete shoes.What the ???Every release, somebody in a conference room decides, “You know what would make professionals happier? Let’s move the controls they’ve used for twenty years.” Why? Who benefits from this? Is there a secret contest to see how many hours of collective productivity can be sacrificed before someone notices?I’m not angry… I’m just disappointed. Actually, scratch that. I’m pissed.Bring the feature back. PLEASE!!!!Because here’s the thing: every unnecessary workflow change chips away at the trust professionals have in Illustrator. We don’t open your software wondering what new adventure awaits us. We open it because we have work to do.So do the right thing. Put the feature ba

Create a control panel to run Illustrator Scripts instead of being forced to constantly use the slow and tedious File > Scripts menu selection.

The single-most used feature in InDesign is the convenient Fit Frame to Content option. There are so many times I am writing text in Illustrator and I want to reduce the size of the text frame to fit the content. I rely on this for quick spacing of elements (image and text frames; text frames and text frames) all the time. Please bring this feature to Illustrator so I am not frustrated every time I think I’m in InDesign but am instead in Illustrator. Besides, I use Illustrator a lot more than InDesign for small print pieces where I am already creating the vector art.
