    Asset export dialog does not have this option to export each file as a separate file it only has option on all artboards in one file, range of artboards or selected artboards in the dialog or the whole of document into one pdf file.
    I am moving this request as a new feature request

    Lance, this is exactly what I would expect to happen when I select a specific range to be saved as pdf. If I want all canvases, I wouldn't save a range, but the entire document.

    I can find no logic in having the option to save a range and then having the entire document saved outside the visible area of the range.

    See here:

    When I save a range from a multiple-artboard Illustrator document, the PDF in Acrobat shows only the range requested, but when opening the PDF back into Illustrator, ALL artboards from the original document are in the document.

    Example (see also screenshots):
    I have a simple Illustrator document with 72 artboards. When I save ONE artboard from that document (Save as PDF, range X, Press quality), the PDF it creates shows to have only one page, but the file size of the PDF is 20+Mb, which for this simple work is exorbitantly high. Upon opening the PDF back into Illustrator, it shows all 72 artboards again.

    I want to preserve Illustrator editing options, so I can't/don't want to uncheck that.
