Add ability to use artboard names when exporting.
When you export PDF it would be nice to save artboards to individual files with the artboard name. Naming artboards doesn't really do much right now.

I totally get it, I struggle from the same conflict — 'Screens' word pushes me away from even thinking about using it. I immediately think it’s going to compress it, optimize it, convert to RGB, resample to 72 ppi, ignore bleeds... everything I know 'screen people' don’t care about.
Perhaps I should make it a request, to alter the name, to make sure it’s not only meant for screens now...
But this very request, to be able to export PDFs as separate files for each artboards — using Export As! — is still very much valid. Upvoting it. -

Export for Screens worked for me- I would like to be able to edit or create PDF Presets from the Format Settings window. Nobody in my office uses Export for Screens because we are a print company however. Talking them into trying it was difficult because of the name.

Illustrator allows this with Export for Screens dialog, not Export As.
This method treats artboards as assets, produces separate files, and the names of artboards are honored.
Please try it and comment back if it works (or not) for you.
