Working with multiple pages

[Bri-ko]

I have been a long time user of DrawPlus and have made some birthday cards front and back.  In DrawPlus I set them up as two pages and was able to print them as page 1 and 2 - front and back of the paper.

 

With Affinity I started by publishing the card from DrawPlus into a PDF file, I then started Affinity and opened the PDF file.  In the work space I see both pages but when I went to print it only printed a single page and that was part of page one and part of page two.

 

Is there a way to page things in Affinity to accomplish what I want?

 

TIA,

Bri-ko

Welcome to the Affinity Forums, Bri-ko. :)

 

Affinity Designer doesn't support multiple pages yet. As a workaround, you can put each 'page' on its own artboard and then print each artboard on a separate sheet; if you export the entire document to PDF, you'll get one artboard on each page of the PDF file, ordered from the bottom to the top of the layer stack (i.e. the order in which you would usually add objects to your document).

Hi Alfred,

 

I am trying to understand how to export to a multipage PDF from the Export Persona. Searching the forums I came across this thread. It seems using artboards and the Export in the File menu is currently the only option. Do I understand this correct?

 

I tried it and it works as expected.

 

I am just surprised that the Export Persona does not support this.

 

Cheers,

If I understand it correctly, dominik, then so do you! ;)
