document.export, document.serialize and document.exportSelection write
a PDF-compatible .ai (format: "ai"), and document.formats lists ai as
writable, but none of their params texts named it. The params text of
document.exportSelection named only png, jpg, webp, svg, svgz and pdf,
although the command writes all 20 writable formats. The description
of the MCP export tool and its row in docs/mcp.md named every format
of the tool's format enum except ai, and the range text and the row
said that only PDF writes several artboards.
The three params texts now list every format their command writes,
and document.export's range and useArtboards texts name .ai beside
PDF. The MCP export tool's description names ai, and its artboard and
range texts say that .ai, like PDF, writes one page per artboard. The
range text and the row also say that SVG, SVGZ and EPS write one file
per chosen artboard, and that rasters, DXF, EMF and WMF do so with
options.useArtboards: true.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (the export tool).
File > Export > Export As... (file.exportAs) picks any writable format and Use Artboards: All
or a range writes one file per artboard, <file>-<artboard>.<ext> (a PDF keeps them as pages);
off, the export covers the bounds of the visible art (an artless document is refused before the
save dialog). The format's options dialog follows: PNG/JPEG/WebP Options, SVG Options, or Save
PDF for artboards as pages. document.export takes useArtboards for raster formats (true: one
file per chosen artboard, default all) and PDF (false: the art's bounds), and the app's exports
return every file written and the encoder's warnings.
