This feature has been implemented in Illustrator Beta 28.1.0.100 you can download from CCD. Please try it, see if it fits your expectations, and comment back.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment +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.
An error occurred while saving the comment 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

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/13368238I'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.

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.

An error occurred while saving the comment 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.

Not ideal, but it's saved a lot of time over closing/reopening documents or Illustrator itself.
An error occurred while saving the comment 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.Win 10

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.

An error occurred while saving the comment While attempting to move an existing guide (horizontal or vertical) with GPU preview turned on, the guide disappears until the mouse is released.
This makes it very difficult to move guides to new positions.
With CPU preview turned on the guide remains visible when being moved and behaves as expected.

An error occurred while saving the comment I fully second this - having a larger 'Prefix' box would make managing longer file names much easier. I often have to use a specific naming structure that is much longer than the box currently allows.

Done in version 26 (2022). You can now use Tab and Shift+Tab to cycle focus while renaming layers and artboards (but not assets yet — vote to make it happen, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31567951). Yay!
Please comment here if you have any issues with how it works).
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
