You can use this nice script by Tom Byrne.

Just copy this code into a notepad and save it as all files and with the filename MultiExporter.jsx.

Then drop a copy of that into your scripts folder. It can be found under

C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Illustrator [YOUR VERSION]Presetsen_[YOUR LANGUAGE]Scripts


OR

C:Program Filesx86AdobeAdobe Illustrator[YOURVERSION]Presetsen_[YOUR LANGUAGE]Scripts


Then in Illustrator, use the File > Scripts > MultiExporter option to bring up the dialogue box. From there it’s all fairly self explanatory.



Once you have each layer exported you can just split the pdf up and place each "page" as a new layer or whatever you need to do to recover your work!

Using the (new) Asset Export, you can export them as .SVG

You will just have to drag them into there and then go through with the export.

It isn't .AI however, they are vector and you can open up .SVG in Illustrator and still apply actions (batch) to them.
