createsean Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hello, I have a designer file with two artboards named 01 Home, 02 detail and when I export the file as a pdf the artboards are not in the order I expect of 01, 02, but instead 02 is first and 01 is second. How can I control the order of pdf pages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The artboard at the bottom of the layers panel is page one and so on UP the layers panel. Sounds like you may need to drag one artboard below the other. Mike createsean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense in the ... er ... sense(!) that the first artboard you create is usually at the bottom of the stack, with the next one on top of that, etc. Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that like pages are listed top-down, artboards ought to be as well. So if pages are added to AD, how do you think they will be listed?

It would be more than a little confusing if pages in AD were listed differently than pages in APub.

And now with APub and (normal) top-down page representation, there could/would be confusion switching from one to another. At least if orders are different.
