Mabon Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have a document of several pages. The pages don't have a standard dimensions (it is not an A4, but 17,5 by 11,3 cm) When clicking on File > Export (to get images), you get 2 choices by Area: 1) all pages and 2) Current page. I would like to have the option to control a range of pages I can export (like with printing, you can choose a range).

mmuller Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 This is an important requirement when working on multi-page documents as some of the print services I use require different PDF's to be submitted for each section/part of the item. Currently I am having to use PDFSAM to extract the pages from the document, I know this is okay, but I do always worry that something will 'break' during this process. Native export of page ranges would make the export section 'feel' more like a complete desktop publishing package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrum Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Agree. It is a must. PagePlus had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Schülke Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 and.... i am sure.. its not that difficult to implement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 +1 I often send a selection of pages to one or more reviewers. It is very useful when the full publication is 50+ pages with graphics and any output results in huge file sizes. Sometime likes this: 5-8 Or like in MS Word: 1, 2, 4-6, 9 Thanks Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

Jowday Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 No? In the print dialog you can - not in the export dialog.

GarryP Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 You cannot export Pages from an AFDESIGN file as that sort of file does not have any Pages in it. Designer documents (AFDESIGN) may contain Artboards but not Pages. To export specific Pages from Designer you need to be editing an AFPUB (Publisher) document. (There may be some exceptions to this – when editing documents in different applications – but the general rule is: Artboards in Designer, Pages in Publisher.)
