Artwork across multiple artboards stacked next to each other


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have a quick question. How do I make one artwork visible across multiple artboards that are stacked next to each other. In my screenshot I have faked it, but eventually I will need to export separate PDFs with the graphic that seamlessly goes across each artboard.

Thanks for help!

PS: Or is it better idea to slice up one big artboard in Export Persona and export separate PDFs this way?

Is the intention to print?

Have you tried Adobes Acrobat Reader, I believe it has tiling capabilities, obviously Adobe Acrobat will also have this ability: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/printing-pdfs-custom-sizes.html

I created a quick A2 sized document and opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, this is the printing options, as you can see it can tile print.
