    Hi. This is critical for my work in Illustrator, which often involves storyboards.

    These can often need to be moved around, re-ordered, new artboards adding in. Having a strong naming convention is vital for when they are taken in to edit to lay out animatics.

    Currently the only way I can find to export with incrementing numbers at the end is to manually name the artboards each time before export, which gets very time-consuming when there are a lot, or if client amends are frequent.

    My ideal upgrades for the Export for Screens panel are as follows:

    - Option to prefix with the file name, as per InDesign PDF export. This would be a checkbox. This would save a lot of time and ensure consistency in file names.

    - Option to include/exclude artboard names - this would also be a checkbox. This would be useful in conjunction with the numbering options mentioned below, as it would negate the need to name artboards if numbers are all that's needed, saving a lot of time.

    - Use of tokens similar to the current implementation (e.g. #AN, #IN), but change so that the export does not automatically append another number at the end of the filename, as this can override the file sorting in some circumstances.

    - Option to use those tokens as suffixes, to come at the end of the exported filenames.

    - The option to add leading zeros - this is vital if you have more than 9 files. I'd suggest either a checkbox to add leading zeros and the program figures out how many it will need, or that users can manually choose how many digits they need. This is also vital if exporting for animation.

    - A wider Prefix text box! There is free space to the side, and in lieu of being able to use filename as prefix, this would be very helpful on a daily basis. It's currently too small to be of use for most naming conventions I know of.

    Pleas ask if there is any clarification needed, this is a massive productivity issue and hopefully it can be improved going forwards.

    Many thanks!

    Hi, the beta implementation is a good step forward, thank you.

    As improvements I'd strongly suggest either adding the ability to choose the number of digits in the number prefix, or have it default to the largest number of digits.

    Currently it will export 1, 2, 3, and then on to 10, 11, 12 etc. It would be much better for sorting files if the option was there to export 01, 02, 03, so the files sorted in the correct order when pulled into other applications.

    My primary suggestion would be to get whoever many artboards are being exported, and have all the exported boards have that number of digits - if there were hundreds of artboards then it would notice that and the first exported board would be 001 and so on.

    It would also be really useful to have a checkbox to include/ignore the artboard names - as they cannot be blank they currently need to have something - in the example image attached they have all been set to 'A' as a single non-space character.

    One issue I've seen while testing is that numbered artboard exports (#AN) seem to be having the number below them appended on the end of the filename. For example, 'prefix #AN' would produce files named:
    prefix -1.png
    prefix -2_1.png
    prefix -3_2.png
    and so on. I cannot figure out what is causing this - any help gladly appreciated!

    Also please expand the width of the prefix text box - our naming conventions often need longer prefixes and the text box is narrow.

    Many thanks

    +1 for Helen M's description - being able to prefix with the artboard number while reordering artboards would be a big time saver.

    My primary use case is storyboards, which can change in order quite a bit as a result of feedback, and having to go through 50+ artboards and manually re-number them each time is painful.

    Big plus one on this idea - I end up manually entering artboard numbers and if they need to change it's very time consuming to update

    Illustrator uses the actual order of artboards in the Artboards panel for numbering, not the one you have on canvas (because artboards can be used not only as pages, but viewports, intersect and contain each other). To get the order you need, you should re-arrange the list manually in the panel.

    There is also a request for automating the matching inverted process: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44105052-rearrange-artboards-on-canvas-accordingly-to-their

    Massive +1 to this - I'd love for this to behave like After Effects, in that if an object is selected then it is given priority. The accidental selection of a text bounding box is something I deal with a lot, and this would be a great solution to that.

    Also, when I just quit Illustrator this message appeared in After Effects:

    After Effects (Beta) error: could not parse mask shape on clipboard.

    Hi, I can sometimes copy / cut and paste in Illustrator, sometimes not. This has only been noticed in the last day or so. Could be tied to certain documents, unclear as of yet. I have tried copying (when it works) a document's contents into a new do, and the problem persists, which may indicate that there is a problem with some of the artwork?

    When it doesn't want to copy it doesn't matter if I'm using keyboard shortcuts or the menu option, the copy operation does not work and the paste menu items remain greyed out. Very similar to the symptoms reported here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/copy-paste-command-not-working/td-p/13368238

    I'd class this as a critical bug, as it's affecting basic system functions. Copy and paste are working fine in all other apps tested.

    Any help or guidance much appreciated, as this is seriously affecting my ability to deliver for clients.

    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.

    Just updated to 26.1 and this issue has instantly returned. Rolled back to 26.0.3, unfortunately I didn't make a note of what version I was on before updating.

    This seems to have solved the GPU preview issue, but rolling back has removed all my preferences and workspaces despite having the checkbox to preserve settings marked for updates.

    I really don't like to complain in public forums but this is seriously frustrating as an issue from 2 years ago is still costing me work time.

    Davescm's workaround is working for me while this is being worked on - if I go Window > New window then the new window GPU preview works. Then I can just close the previous window and carry on.

    Not ideal, but it's saved a lot of time over closing/reopening documents or Illustrator itself.

    This bug is back again for me.

    Steps to repro:
    Create new document
    Add any kind of content (a single vertex will do)
    Switch to Outline view - GPU is disabled
    Switch back out of Outline view - GPU remains disabled
    Saving and re-opening the document will re-enable GPU view, until outline is used again.

    Same here - if I switch a document to outline mode GPU preview turns off and gets greyed out.

    Closing and re-opening the document will re-enable GPU preview.

    I can have multiple files open at the same time and this affects them on a case-by-case basis - e.g. only the files I've used outline view on lose GPU preview.
