Illustrator 2026 30.2.1: I can no longer export artboards to PDF, but version 2025 29.8.4 exports correctly.

I export multiple artboards using the "Export for Screens" tool, I'm on macOS Tahoe. Is this a known issue or is it just me?

 

The following files cannot be exported. (PDF files only)

    Hello ​@Koalasimov 

     

    I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Could you check if you encounter this problem with a specific file or when exporting to a specific folder location on the internal/external/network drive, or a folder that is synced via iCloud/Dropbox/etc, so we can better assist you?

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    I get this error when exporting PDF files both locally to the main internal drive and to an external drive. For all document types: New file or existing file on each drive.

    Does Illustrator have full disk access?
