YvLy Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 At the moment, you can only batch process to: AFPhoto, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and OpenEXR. There is no PDF option!! Considering that you have a lot of webdesigners as customers, wouldn't that be an important feature? Please add that ... Quote
Alan F Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 Batch processing PDF files is something very much needed on both AFPhoto and AFDesigner. I write patents for a living. My wife does the patent drawings. Our normal workflow for the past 12 years in Adobe Illustrator is to take the AI files, drop them into Acrobat Pro , and make a PDF. Simple one step process. In AFDesigner, there is unfortunately no batch processing. In AFPhoto, PDF is omitted from the batch processing. A patent can have anywhere from 15–50 drawing sheets. We go through many iternations before we have the final formal patent drawings. Exporting each drawing to PDF in AFDesigner is very time consuming; especially over multiple iterations. I hope you will add this feature. I can imagine there are many others who need this as well. I like AFDesigner and AFPhoto a lot, but time is money, and I may have to pony up the money for two seats of Illustrator if there is not a simple solution. Thank you for listening. Quote

(Page 1 will be the Artboard at the bottom of the Layer panel. Page 2 will be the Artboard above that, etc.) Just put your drawings on the Artboards in an appropriate order and layout, and that should help your workflow. You can either do the drawing work directly on those Artboards, or Place other documents on then that you've worked on in Designer, Photo, or another application.

Thanks. I appreciate the fast response! We can give that a try. Hopefully, the file would not get too unwieldy. Quote

-Klaus- Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Unfortunately, I have to adjust the colour of about 800 PDF print templates (a little yellow in, a little blue out, etc.) because of a change in the printing paper. This is not practicable without a batch processor that can also handle PDF files. Is this planned for future versions of Affinity? Quote
