Template Layers Still Visible on Export for PNG and JPG
I am creating a logo package for a client and am attempting to export multiple logos / graphics with transparent backgrounds using the export panel. I've already confirmed multiple times that my PNG settings include transparency and that the View > Overprint Preview setting is unchecked. My background layer is set to non printing, however any PDF or PNG I export includes a visible background layer. I can completely hide this layer to avoid exporting it, but then I can't see my artwork correctly. The whole point of non printing layers is to see them when you are designing…

Export JPG/PNG (any format) in same folder of AI file (like before)
Hello, since update (CC 2018 22.0.0), when I do file>export> as jpeg, the file location is the last used and not the same as the AI file just open.
This can seems not important for you, but I do this 40x per day and now it's a waste of time. In CC 2017 this was ok.
I have to browse all the folders on local network .. to find my folder and it's boooooring.
There is no setting for this in preferences.
Thank you for your help.
(we are a infographist team and all complains about this.)

Export as SVG: linked image gets deleted
Hi All,
I have an issue when exporting to SVG.
I created an AI file with a linked jpg image as a background, and some text on top.
When I export to SVG, the original jpg image gets deleted (I mean the original file, it disappears from Finder, it's not even in the recycle bin) and then Illustrator gives me the message "Some files are missing or modified in the links panel. Would you like to update them now?".
So, the first time I export, the SVG is saved correctly but I lose the original image file, if…4 votesThis issue is fixed in Illustrator 23.0.2 update

svg export fails to export image
for the current version of AI (24.3).
When exporting a svg via save-as with an artboard, images part of the canvas are not preserved, or exported, or linked. The resulting svg preserves the vector data, but anything related to the raster graphics is missing.
this behavior seems to be inconsistent, as sometimes masked images do export, while other times they do not.

Illustrator 2021 breaks Export command with AppleScript
Export command for AppleScript has suddenly stopped working as of Illustrator 2021. This error breaks almost all my professional workflows.

When I run AppleScript workflows that worked fine in Illustrator 2020, 2019, 2018, etc. they now fail at the 'export' command with 'Adobe Illustrator got an error: document doesn't understand the "export" message.'
Screenshot of simplest possible script failing attached.

Illustrator won't export the correct artboards
Everytime i try to export a document, either as a PDF, JPEG, PNG, it won't export the correct artboards; say I have a document with 10 artboards and I want to export only 1 to 5, it will export all the pages. If I'm trying to export just one artboard as a JPEG, sometimes it will export another one randomly. Yes I'm making sure the artboards are labeled correctly, yes I type the correct numbers when exporting, but nothing seems to help, illustrator just exports whatever, I have to save the document, close it and open it again…

Characters in Type on a Path appear rotated
When trying to type on a path around a circle, the preview shows the letters rotating abnormally, but when converting the text to outlines or printing the type, it corrects itself. Would be fine, but I can't design what I need without the preview first.

I’m using the command: File > Export As > PNG
Use artboards: Not selected
Resolution: High (300dpi)
Ahti-Aliasing: None

paths missing in export
When exporting a vector image, some of the paths in my pattern fill are disappearing. It's weird because on the export panel it shows up fine, but when actually exported the paths are missing.
