Question

illustrator suddenly adding artboard number as well as suffix

Today illustrator has started adding the artboard number as well as the suffix, which is what I named the artboard. It used to only add the thing I deliberately called it. Now I"m having to manually delete the numbers at the end again.

 

How do I make it stop adding them?

Hello @screen1234why,

Would you mind sharing more details, like the version of the OS/Illustrator and screenshots of the export settings and the file names, so I can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

i have the same issue.  i simply select the artboards I want to export as PNG and click suffix.  i have already named the artboards. this has worked flawlessly until today.

Hi @defaultgln5060vc33t,

Could you please provide more information, such as the specific version of your OS and Illustrator? Additionally, a brief screen recording of your workflow and the issue would be helpful, so I can attempt to replicate it on my end.


I look forward to your response.

On a current Os mac and current Ai.  Updated after this started happening and didn't help.  I’m noticing older files are functioning as before but new files are adding artboard numbers.  The artboards are named and the suffix button is checked.  Same flow as 10 years before and suddenly it's not working
