Bad_Wolf Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 You can export your document as PDF, which you will find in "File" -->"Export...". However, I use Foxit PhantomPDF by using the "Print" command and then selecting the PhantomPDF printer. The advantage of this method is that you can modify the resulting PDF and fine tune it.

Lil John Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 thank you for reply B.W. - I use to set up one business card on page plus and then make one pdf with 12 up cards with crop lines. Does Affinity Publisher have that capability? Also, if I export to Foxit, one card with crop marks. Can I create one PDF with 12 up cards with crop marks?

walt.farrell Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 You can use N-Up printing to a PDF printer. Or you can use Power Duplicate in Affinity to make an N-Up document reasonably easily. Or in 1.9, with Publisher, I've read that you can do it with Data Merge, but I haven't experimented with that yet.

Prouvé Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I have a business card template for Affinity Publisher (attached) that may help. It's an 8-up layout for the standard 88 x 55 business card size. Instructions are included in the template. 8-Up Business Cards 88x 55.aftemplate Edited February 25, 2021 by Prouvé walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
