Niall123492 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi, I am trying to export a number of different artboards as a single document PDF. Has anyone got any information on how I can achieve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 If you choose the ‘Whole document’ option when exporting to PDF, you’ll automatically get one artboard per page. The lowest artboard in the Layers panel will appear on the first page of the PDF, and the highest one will appear on the last page.

Niall123492 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Are there any other ways? I have a few artboards that I do not want to use in the finished document. I know I can delete these but just wondering if this is the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Try hiding the ones that you don’t want to include. I can’t check right now, but I think that should give you the desired result.

Niall123492 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 How did I not think of that? 😂 I will give that a go. Thanks. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy-2 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I can export multiple artboards to PDF in one operation, as Alfred says. Is there a way of exporting the artboards as separate jpg pictures in one operation, similar to how Publisher does so for separate pages?

AD's export persona will do this. Eddy-2 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy-2 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 To thomaso. Thanks. It's a feature I've not used before but I've just tried it and it seems to do what I need. I'll check the Help file for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy-2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Update: If you intend exporting multiple artboards as separate pictures using the Export Persona and if the output format is the same for each (for example jpg, png, etc.), it's a idea to set the intended format in the 'Defaults' mode in the Export Persona's 'Export Options' panel before adding artboards to the drawing.

Eddy-2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Thanks Mike. I'm still finding my way around the Export Persona. Incidentally, have you tried using the check-boxes in the Slices panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
