Save A Copy Action with current name of file
Currently, if you create an Action and go to File > Save A Copy... with a PDF Preset and in specific folder or desktop etc., it saves the file name that you create the Action with in the Action.
It doesn't update to the new file you are applying the action to. So if you run this action on several documents they all save over each other unless you manually change the file name in the operating system.
It would be nice if there was an option that lets you add the file name to which the action is being applied to. Additionally in that same interface within actions it would be nice if we could add a suffix within instead of always having to save with the same file name in the same exact location.

I just can't believe this is an actual issue in Illustrator. I can't save print files from an action because of this nonsense!

Yes this is ridiculous. "Save a Copy" action should work the same way as "Save As". It currently won't let us choose a destination folder...we're stuck saving all our files with the filename we originally used when recording the Action.
