exportFile() broken when upgrading to Illustrator 2025

Hi @urbanstarship I've can reproduce the issue on my system here. Not sure if it is a bug, per se, but it is certainly not helpful behaviour.

In this case I would be inclined—rather than lodge a bug report—to put in a check in your code for an empty artboard before exporting. Here is a script that exports every artboard in the document, but only after checking if it's empty or not. The check is a bit of a hack, and destroys the current selection.
