    I have this problem and my MacBook does not have two video cards.
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
    —3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
    —16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
    —Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB

    Also, it's hard to know if you really mean "few" or if you actually mean "a few". There is a difference.

    There is no true PDF Export in Illustrator, because Illustrator allows to have editable PDFs with .ai-content stored within. Other apps does not allow that, and some users heavily rely on editable PDFs.

    Attemps to solve this were made, but there is no clear solution so far. Still we hope to find one.

    The intended way to get a PDF (without loosing your data) at the moment would be to use Save a Copy command that saves a separate copy of your file to PDF instead of Save As which keeps a saved file open.

    Because Illustrator doesn't export/publish/create I have ended up accidentally losing data. I want a way to create a PDF from an AI without the file I'm editing transitioning to the new PDF. Many times I have saved a PDF without editing ability, with compressed images, or with some other settings I don't want in a working document, then accidentally continue editing the document. Later I find that I have two files. An AI file from early inn the design process and a PDF from the final that is not useful because it's the altered, out going, non-working document.

    Just adding PDF to the Export would save me.
