Exporting to PDF, include items outside the artboard(s) + printers marks

[Pete Cooper]

Hello.

I'd like to export one or more artboards from a Designer document to print-ready PDF including printers marks, but also include items outside the artboards (e.g. fold marks). Is this possible? I'm assuming that if it is possible, it involves the Export persona and selecting the artboard(s) along with the non-artboard components, then exporting.

I can export to PDF just fine, I just can't see a way to include stuff outside the artboard.

I'd be most grateful for any pointers to further reading, or guidance in the right direction. I'm using Designer v1.9.3 on macOS 10.14.6.

Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks @loukash – I had read the help but didn't find anything specific to non-artboard objects. If I export with 'Include layers', which was the closest thing I could find (since the objects outside the artboard appear as layers in Designer), that doesn't include them in the PDF.

Objects outside an artboard must overlap the artboard bleed to be included on export:

Perfect – thank you very much!
