I am trying to export artboards as PNGs from an AI file. I have a bunch of artboards created, but when I try to export the file and use the artboards, the export dialog only recognizes four artboards.

I've googled and searched all around and I can't seem to find any record of anyone else having this same problem.

See these examples:


However, when I try to export I get a dialog allowing me the option to only export 4:


If I try to change the range to something like "1-8", it still only saves artboards 1-4.

This same thing is happening when I try to save as a pdf, or any other thing in AI that uses the artboards. It only returns 4.

I've tried restarting AI, restarting my computer, but it still does the same thing.

I have Illustrator CS6, not the Creative Cloud, I have the single license, one time fee version.

Anyone ever run into this issue? It's driving me crazy.

Thanks for your help!

Either the file must be damaged.
Or application prefs need dumped..
or application needs reinstalled.

There's no limit to the number of artboards you can export other than the global 100 artboard limit in any AI file.

See that i have marked in the attached picture change that to all which is right before i have marked, then try export , each and every Artboard will comes out,

Remember: check you clicked Use Artboards in dialog menu

Range is for if you need specific Artboard, you can mentioned which Artboard No. you need so that illustrator exports.

Indeed, the preferences were corrupt and needed to be reset. I deleted the preferences folder, restarted, and sure enough I was able to export all artboards.
