Can't Save multiple artboards as a Single File PDF from Export for Screens in 29.6
Even though the single file option is checked, multiple artboards will not be saved in a single file, but as separate PDFs.
This worked in previous versions.

I updated to 29.7.1 this morning and have had no issues with outputting multi-page PDFs all morning. This appears to be resolved. Thank you for the quick fix.

Thank you for fixing this, I am the original user who reported the bug.
It works well now in 29.7.1 - and i'm able to use "Export for Screens" and export multiple page documents as a single pdf file. -
Chris, wait till you see the regular 29.7 update. That fixed it for me.

Moderately fixed. It's not 100% for me in 29.6.1 (I do not see an update for 29.8 on Mac).
When I go to export and the radial is defaulted to "Single File" it still outputs multiple artboards. If I check "Multiple Files" and then recheck "Single File" it appears to work.

Looks fixed in beta 29.8.10
