Saeglopur Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hello!I'm amazed with Affinity on Windows and I'm using it more and more over the Illustrator. One thing makes me wonder for now - is it possible to export artboards as PDF with multiple pages? Tried with preset for print etc., tried with printing to file and nothing worked.

Mark Ingram Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This will be fixed in RC2 - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/26503-affinity-designer-public-beta-rc1-15025-windows/page-2&p=128296 JamesD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjp Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This just stopped working for me after I updated. It always exported to two pages before but with the same (default to my knowledge) settings it exports a broad page instead. Doesn't matter if I export through Draw or Export persona. Can't find where any settings for this is because I knowingly didn't change them from the start. How do I fix it? Thanks Edit, Same when I print. Don't know what have changed but this isn't how it was yesterday before the last update. Version 1.5.0.25 (RC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pressed the little button beside the doc name and it exported to PDF directly. It's a work around, I'm sure, but it works great. Thanks again!

Just to be sure you have several artboards that are not being output to separate pages and instead as one wide one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was really helpful! This is such a great and powerful feature, a little hidden, but once learned it makes a lot of sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezumi Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This is unnecessary now - maybe was in the past. All you have to do now is just export as PDF and make sure you're exporting "whole document". It will create page in pdf for each artboard.

I'm having difficulty with this now and had to use this workaround (export persona). How have you used this recently, without using export persona? And, the pages are PDFing in a weird order when I use the workaround provided... still trying to sort it out. Trying NOT to use another software to re-order the pages, ... anybody have any suggestions on how to PDF multiple artboards into a multipage PDF document?

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to point out that the order of the artboards in the layers panel will be the reverse of the order in the PDF, as the lowest item becomes page 1 and so on. Confusing at first but it does sort of make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
