Add Export JPG/PNG option to Package Feature
Please add an "Export As..." option the Package feature settings so we can export JPG or PNG files in the packaged file folder. This would be immensely helpful! Thanks

Thanks!
Yes, I use the package function regularly to prepare documents to be uploaded to our manufacturing partners overseas. And other designers working remotely.
I tried creating an Action but both the Package function and export as require a step to import the destination folder.
If this feature is added it would speed up the workflow.

Thanks, Darleen, now it is quite clear. While it can be done manually with an action or just with a Save a Copy command, this'd require to navigate into the package folder, right? I assume you package quite often if you try to make a shortcuts with this... Makes sense. Thank you for the suggestion and the clarification, let's see if anyone wants this too.

When using the Package function (File > Package), there is a check-box option to "Create Report" which generates a TXT file containing document info that is automatically saved into the destination folder. Similarly, it will be helpful to have an option to generate an image file (JPG/PNG/TIFF) or PDF of the document that is automatically saved into the destination folder as well.
An image file or PDF of the document could serves as a preview (ie, a user could simply download a relatively small image file to preview the document without having to download the entire Packaged folder). Having an image file or PDF of the document to reference can also help ensure that the AI file appears correctly across different versions of Illustrator, or to ensure colors are appearing correctly, etc.

Darleen, not sure about the workflow you mean by this.
Can you please elaborate?
