SVG export from Indesign PDF not cropping to artwork
Part of my team's workflow involves exporting a PDF from Indesign 2021 (Mac) and then converting to SVG via Illustrator "Export As…" with "Artboards" unchecked. Illustrator 2021 and prior versions cropped the SVG export to the artwork, which is what we want. Illustrator 2022 and 2023 always crop to the artboard, even when it's unchecked.
What appears to be happening is that the Indesign pdf has a page sized clipping path which Illustrator used to ignore, but no longer does. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but we really need it to go back to the old way, as we're getting new machines and can no longer install Illustrator 2021.
