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.

When exporting multiple artboards as PDFs via the Asset Export panel in Illustrator, and using a PDF preset that has "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" enabled, Illustrator embeds the entire AI document, including all artboards and hidden content, into every exported PDF.
This results in:
- Unnecessarily large PDF file sizes.
- Hidden or irrelevant Illustrator data being included in every PDF.
- Workflow and file integrity issues, especially when sharing isolated assets.
Feature request:
Please add a checkbox or setting to limit the embedded Illustrator data to only the selected artboard(s) being exported — not the entire document — while still preserving editability for those specific artboards.
This would:
- Greatly reduce file size.
- Avoid data leakage of unrelated artboards.
- Improve control over exported assets.
Ideal implementation:
An option like:
(v) "Preserve editing capabilities for selected artboard(s) only"
This functionality is especially relevant when exporting assets for clients or production, where keeping PDFs lightweight and scoped to specific content is critical.
Thank you!
