I'm having a problem in Illustrator when trying to "Export for Screens" where non-visible layers appear in those exports.

In the "Export for Screens" preview window (B.), these layers are invisible - as they should be - until I click "export" and they pop up in the folder showing those invisible layers (C.).

I went under File>Print and set "Print layers" to "Visible layers" - to no avail.

I have many artboards in this file and I wish to batch export them - "Export for Screens" is a great way to do this, but not when this happens!

Thank you for your time!

A.) the artboard I wish to export, in Illustrator B.) the artboard I wish to export, in "Export for Screens" preview C.) the artboard I have exported, in the destination folder

  • I overprint preview on? (View menu)

  • You want it off which is why I was checking.

  • I cannot reproduce this behavior, hidden layers are not exported using the asset export.

So far the best solution I found is to just use a 3rd party script (MultiExporter) to export "artboard images"
