Using Designer you would be better served by using the Export Persona. I have Artboard1 and Artboard3 selected for export as PDF for Print. I get separate files, If you want one file with all of them then you will use the File > Export... dialog as you show but select the artboards first and then in the export dialog choose Selection With/Without background

thanks for the answer, but ... maybe I don't specify enough, what I want is to export page 1, 4 and 10, in the same PDF, not by individual page, and not all the pages. I don't see any option to export certain pages in a single PDF even if they are not consecutive etc.

Unless you started with a Publisher .afpub file, and transferred it to Designer, you do not have Pages in Designer. You have Artboards.

They may be named Page1, Page2, etc. but if you look in the Layers panel you will see that they are Artboards. You cannot export them exactly as you do in Publisher, unless you have a document with real Pages, not just Artboards named as though they were pages.

As Old Bruce mentioned, you will need to:

  1. Select the Artboards you want in the Layers panel. Then
  2. Use File > Export, choose PDF, and for Area in the Export dialog choose Selection with (or without) Background.

Or, if you want to do it exactly like Publisher, use Publisher not Designer.

This is what I get with Designer, I select the pages in the layers panel and export Selection

This is how it looks in Designer

I don't recognize that as being from Designer. What am I missing?

Esto es lo que obtengo con Designer, selecciono las páginas en el panel de capas y exporto Selección

Así es como se ve en Designer

You are welcome. I do agree you that it would be good if we could work it. as we do in Publisher, artboards instead of pages.

Edit: dartboard to artboard.

That's harder with artboard names, rather than page numbers.

And in a nutshell that would be why we cannot do so.

I think it would be a good way to export by the name of the table or page, and to be able to choose which ones to export ...

In particular, since I acquired affinity, I no longer use illustrator, but I had that option of choosing the artboard.

Although this option to select the tables and export them, it made me a good export result

Having to type, as a "page" selection, "Artboard1, Artboard5, Artboard7-Artboard10" would be annoying.

Or, consider: "Artboard1, CogWheel1, Flower12" if you're giving your Artboards more meaningful names.

And what about ranges, such as "CogWheel1-Flower6"? Is that an alphabetical range, or strictly based on the order in the Layers panel?

And what happens when you have 5 Artboards all named Artboard1?

Tener que escribir, como una selección de "página", "Artboard1, Artboard5, Artboard7-Artboard10" sería molesto.

O considere: "Artboard1, CogWheel1, Flower12" si le está dando a sus Artboards nombres más significativos.

¿Y qué pasa con los rangos, como "CogWheel1-Flower6"? ¿Es un rango alfabético o se basa estrictamente en el orden en el panel Capas?

¿Y qué sucede cuando tienes 5 Artboards, todos llamados Artboard1?

I don't know about you but I usually change the names of the artboards, by numbers! you may find someone to name it! but it is an option that would be good for some!

in my case it is an option that I would use a lot!

if it integrates it would be cool and if not, I will export it as they answered above that is all.
