stitchingfairy Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 I recently posted about flattening a document to prevent images being taken from a pdf, now I am trying to change each Artboard into a pixel document, I get so far by changing each Artboard to pixels and then when I get to changing the last Artboard the screen goes black and only one image is remaining to export. Where am I going wrong? I have tried merging the Artboards to prevent the images being editable but when I open them in a pdf editor the images can still be moved and edited. Can anyone explain to me how I change Artboards to pixels and then still be able to export all of the Artboards in one pdf?

I take it you are rasterising each artboard to convert them from vectors to raster? Could you upload the afdesign file for your document to our Dropbox here and I'll take a look at why that would be happening. A workaround that may work without converting your artboards, when you are on the Export window, set Rasterize to 'Everything' and export to PDF.

Maybe this could be an option on export. One could always use a thirdparty tool like xnviewmp to convert the pdf to pdf that will flatten it into an image only pdf but that increases the size of the file. Thankyou, yes I tried exporting to a pdf editor and flattening but when I opened the pdf again I could still edit it.
