Need to remove gridlines

[Liv42t]

I exported PDF then tiled in Acrobat When I open new PDF in affinity, I’m getting gridlines and this wasn’t happening before. Gridlines is unchecked in Acrobat & in Affinity. How do I remove gridlines?

Hi Liv42t,

Welcome to the forums!

Would you mind sharing both your PDF and the affinity document created with it so we can investigate this issue?

Am I reading this correctly:

You exported several different PDFs from some application and used those in Adobe's Acrobat to generate a tiled PDF. A much larger PDF made up of several smaller ones.

Do I have that right?

Export to PDF in affinity 

Print to PDF in Adobe, so that I can tile it and print 6 separate pages. (Unaware of how to do this directly from Affinity (new to it))
 

When I open tiled file in Affinity grid lines are  visible  through all pages and this was not happening before.

They don't look like grid lines to me. They are just lines between objects that have been placed side by side, I think.

Why are you Opening the tiled PDF? Why not open the original image? Then you have one object, and no lines where you have artificially split it.

When I did these steps the other day- none of the lines were present. 

When I go to print the lines are visible in the design. The larger sheet I can print at a time is 13x19 on my printer. I have to tile the sheets together in order to press the design. 

I don’t know how to do tile printing directly from Affinity. Are you able to provide the steps to do that & I’ll give it a shot. 

Unfortunately this is the method I was taught when learning to print all over shirts for sublimation.

The Help for the app tells you how to do it:

Thanks Alfred - I think this will be a life saver, but i have one more question. If I want to add .5 inches of overlap - how do I equate that in px? I don't see an option to change it to inches?

[Alfred]

You can specify the units in most numerical input boxes (e.g. 0.5 in) but if you know the document DPI you can simply input the corresponding number of pixels (e.g. 150 for 0.5 in, if the document is 300 dots/pixels per inch).

Thanks so much - this is a lot easier than working in two programs. I appreciate all the help.
