    The solution is pushed into Global Availability build 28.6.

    PDF is now available as type in File > Export > Export As dialog.


    However, File > Adobe PDF Presets menu, similar to one InDesign has, to allow even quicker export, is absent still.

    I always save my Illustrator Artwork to PDF for final output,
    1) if I save ALL artboards – my newly saved PDF will stay open in Illustrator,
    2)if I select at the bottom of the window only certain artboards, saving will create a PDF that I then have to open in Illustrator or Acrobat
    With option 1) in Illustrator I then have to select all hidden layers and delete them,
    yes it's bothersome and could be improved.
    It's very tricky as you always have to check at the top of your working window, what file format you are in and not delete layers in a master Illustrator file as opposed to a final artwork output for print...
    An export option for PDF would make sense rather than a save as option, this would be my preferred solution.
    thanks in advance!!
