Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved
Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.
I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the file size is small, it will be easier to export, and Adobe Illustrator will function more efficiently.

Anshul, latest versions of Illustrator offer AI and EPS formats in the Export for Screens, so you totally can export some artboards from a document with multiple artboards as .ai
But if I understand this correctly, your main problem is that you want fonts used in these to be collected, similar to what File > Package command does? Export for Screens won’t do that.
There is no way to collect used fonts other than Package in Illustrator... I remember there was a script to collect names of the fonts used for the documents located in a chosen folder, https://github.com/dyslexic-charactersheets/scripts/blob/master/List%20used%20fonts%20to%20CSV.jsx — it can probably help.
Did I get it right?
