DDesignDude Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 What I Wish To Do: Export only desired artboards in my document as one single pdf. Each artboard to have its own page in that PDF. I know there have been a few similar topics to this but they differ slightly from what I am trying to achieve. This feature is available in Illustrator CC by doing the following: File > "save as copy" Choosing to save as pdf Then specifying the range of Artboards to be included in the one PDF. (As separate pages of course). I wish to avoid deleting unwanted artboards everytime I wish to export a PDF with only certain artboards included. Otherwise doing File>Export>PDF>"Whole Document" would work, but it's not ideal. Any chance there's now a setting in Export persona that can manage this? Thank you for any input on this.

DDesignDude Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Did some more Digging and believe I found the Answer in the topic below. In the Designer Persona, Select all your desired personas. File>Export Choose PDF and set the Area to "selection with background" Click Export. You'll get one PDF with artboards on different pages. Unless mistaken, I believe the order of them is still dependent on the order of the artboards in the layer panel. (Lowest will be First) I hope this helps someone too. Credit goes to Luis Sopelana for figuring this out and posting about it. 1 On 5/30/2019 at 3:17 PM, Luis Sopelana said: Hi, everyone. I stumbled upon this thread to find out the same thing, and after doing a bit of trial and error also found that you can select only as many artboards as you need and Designer will export only those pages as a multi page PDF, by selecting those and changing the Area settings to "Selection with background" ("Selection without background" will yield a single page PDF with the selected pages laid out as they are on your workspace.)
