Max number of artboards?

[calerius]

I am wondering if there is any limit on how many artboards I can create in a document?

Hi calerius,

Welcome to the forums.

 

There doesn't seem to be a limit in place, my finger got tired after 350 :) Obviously the more artboards, the more space and resources will be required.

Just as a point of reference, during testing I have imported 450 to over 600 page pdf versions of various owner manuals into AD. Each page has been imported as a separate artboard. Many of the pages have several dozen to well over 100 vector objects plus various blocks of text, so maybe 2 to up to 15 thousand layers total.

 

Even though my Mac has just 8 GB total memory, once imported AD handles this without complaints or unusual slow downs.

Great thanks! :)

I had a pre-press PDF of a children´s book with 32 pages of content containing some converted text and one embedded JPG on each page. AD opens every page as an Artboard. I could make some edits and export back to PDF. For later use I saved as an additional AD-file; it´s a 625MB heavy beast. Note that the PDF was just 33MB.   :blink:   :D

 

Cheers
