Exporting large PDF documents

[DM1]

With large documents it is possible to select whole document or an individual page. Is there any method to select a range of pages?

Does the file you're exporting use Pages or Artboards? This should be possible for documents with pages using the 'Area: All Pages' or 'Individual Pages' - or spreads if you want those instead. There isn't a way to select a range of pages yet however.

There was the issue where artboards were all going out as a 1 page PDF, but this should be fixed in 1.7.2.3.

Yes this is fixed, as is the bleed issue. I tried it with a 500 page PDF document. Opened with 500 pages each accessible for editing. Exported the document and it was taking a long time so I was looking for options to selective export pages in ranges. I let it run and eventually it produced the output PDF file (all 500 pages) which opened fine in my document reader. The original links in the document were gone. I assume this is to be expected? Overall a pretty good test and AD passed with flying colours.

it would be nice to be able to say print pages 1-10 or 40 - 55. The options available appear to be whole doc or a list of individual pages. Pity we can't just highlight a range of listed pages to select them. Maybe I just need Publisher for iPad.

Thanks for that - I've passed it on as an improvement to development, as it is possible on the desktop.
