Export Multiple PDF Presets (at the same time!) in "Export for Screens" Menu
Export Multiple PDF Presets (at the same time!) in "Export for Screens" Menu
At our design and print shop, when exporting projects, we use a number of PDF (and image) presets to create print ready files, proofs, and web files.
The Export for Screens feature will not allow us to export multiple PDF Presets (i.e. export print ready PDFs at the same time as smallest file size PDFs).

just mentioning that adding this feature for PDFs would also be useful at my print and design shop for the same reasons Aadam mentions. i would love to see it in the future.

In case anyone still interested in this functionnality, I developped my own script to create multiple PDF export at once with different settings.
Script available on github. Current release is v3.6 (User Instruction "Multi-PDF Exporter 3-5 - Notice.pdf" created for v.3.5 is completely relevant though).
Release here : https://github.com/CoriusPhoto/Multi-PDF_Exporter -

I would like to add that t his should not only be applied for PDF, but all other formats.
A simple use case example: export PNG:s with both white and transparent background at the same time would need to be possible.Settings applied under the cogwheel affect all instances of png:s added in the menu, just make it possible to change the "cogwheel settings" for each of the formats added?

I'd like to use the "export for screen" to be able to save each artboards as a different PDF file, in more than one PDF settings at the same time. It puzzles me that you can export in one export action 3 artboards to independant PNG files AND in 5 different PNG settings each, making it 15 resulting PNGs, but for PDF, you're stuck with only 1 PDF setting. so if you want 2 different PDF export, you need to repeat the process twice, with each time going to "settings", then browse and select the setting you want, then saving the settings... Why won't you juste replace the grayed "Scale" drop-down list by the list of PDF export settings when the export format is set to PDF?
