Pete Cooper Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited April 22, 2021 by Pete Cooper clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Cooper Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 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.

loukash Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Objects outside an artboard must overlap the artboard bleed to be included on export: Pete Cooper 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
