I am pretty sure that this cannot be done but should be doable. Indesign somehow figured it out that people want to save pages separately (because it is obvious).
I have 16 artboards and I need SVG, PNG and PDF with proper file names. Cannot do that.
It can only be done through save for screens by losing CMYK data :S
Furthermore I need PDFs to be scaled proper print size. Acrobat preflight custom fixup. Again cannot be used on folder or multiple files at once. Droplet thing does not work on custom fixups.
I am so lucky that I have 16 files and not 160.
Create a PDF preset without AI editing capabilities and use that preset when exporting the artboards for screens.

Yes and a PDF Preset without AI editing capabilities turned off can be created in Edit > Adobe PDF Presets...
Good to hear that helped.

It still exports the entire file, if you open it with Illustrator.

Did you follow the steps described above? Create a PDF preset with AI editing off and select that preset in Export for Screens?

To export artboards in CMYK vector format, you can Save as Illustrator format and then check the box 'Save each artboard to a separate file'. This will produce .ai files with the main file name followed by the artboard name. Then you can batch rename using MacOS Finder and rename them to .pdf if you wish (the files will contain the .ai and .pdf content).
