Illustrator :: Artboard Numbers On Individual Artboards
Dec 17, 2013Is there a feature available in Adobe Illustrator CS6 or above that allows for artboards to have a number placed on them? This would work with assembling the order of artboards within the Workspace.
These numbers that appear on individual artboards would
1) correspond to the artboards numbers in the artboard pallette and
2) would also not be printable or included on any other export type (web for example), unless the user specified they'd like that option (perhaps when exporting, this option could be displayed).
Illustrator :: 5.5 - Displaying Custom Artboard Names Under Artboards
Nov 8, 2013Displaying custom artboard Names under the artboards
Naming and sorting artboards is a great way to handle multiple page AI files. I'm working on a longterm project that uses a large number of artwords. Is it possible to display the name of the artboard under the artboard itself on the screen?
Here are examples:

Illustrator :: Rearrange Artboards And Move Hidden Artwork With Artboard As Well?
Nov 16, 2013Is it possible to use the "Rearrange Artboards" option in the Artboards flyout menu and also move not only the artboard itself but also the hidden artwork (layers, objects, etc.) on that artboard?
I have tried check-marking the "Move Artwork with Artboard" option, but that still does not move the hidden artwork. The default behavior seems to be that only the active or visible artwork is moved along with the artboard, but the hiddden artwork is left behind somewhere on the workspace where the artboard used to be before it was moved.
I find this a little cumbersome, since I often hide artwork that I'm testing and having to make them all visible again to just move them with the artboard would break the dinstinction between all the many very similar layers, objects, etc. that I might be working with at a given time.

Oct 1, 2013I'm an experienced CorelDRAW user (so I do have some vector graphic experience) but a noob to Illustrator and trying to evalutate switching.In CorelDRAW when I export an EPS it doesn't matter what size paper the CorelDRAW file uses, the EPS bounding box is only the size of the drawing.
In Illustrator, however, it seems that I have to set the art board to the size of the drawing. Otherwise when the EPS is pulled into another program (like InDesign) the frame created is much bigger than the actual drawing leaving white space around the drawing.
Is there an EPS setting I'm missing somewhere that would make AI set the bounding box to the drawing and not the artboard?
Or (as most of the Illustrator files we'll be working with are created by someone else) is there a way to automatcially set the size of the paste board to the size of the drawing?

Aug 6, 2013I'm using illustrator to add some bits to .DWG files from AutoCAD, and then exporting them as .SVG files WITH the artboard.However, when i open them, the artboard has changed it's X and Y from X:0 Y:0 to X:-0.5 Y:-512, the artboard is 512px by 512px.
Also I have noticed that when opening a .dwg file and scaling it on to an artboard, the Y co-ord jumps to -512, but the X stays at 0.Is there a way to constrain these X and Y values so that they are locked at 0?

Illustrator :: Alignment On Multiple Artboards
Apr 3, 2013The document I am working on has two artboards (front and back of a document) and I am trying to center some text on the artboard. The issue that I am having is that when I try to align something to center on the first artboard (the left one) it moves it off that board and aligns center on the 2nd artboard (the right one).
I have about 10 other files with this same set up (two artboards, multiple text boxes) and have never had an issue with alignment. As long as "align to artboard" is selected Illustrator never moves the text box to the other artboard to align it.

Jul 5, 2012I am working on a large wall sticker and I need to "slice" the image into pieces for vinyl printing. Is there anyways to place guides (or slices) and have them be converted to separate art boards for printing? In the past I would make individual art boards the exact size of each object and save them one at a time to send to the printer. Then once the art came in I could piece the wall art back together as I applied it to the wall or glass, But this is time consuming.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: How To Loop Through The Artboards
Feb 7, 2012Is it possible to loop thru the artboards (with Illustrator CS5) and only work with the pageItems on the current iterated artboard?
For example, if I have 3 artboards, with 2 textFrames on each artboard. And I add the textFrames sporadically (I add a TextFrame with contents "Text 1" on artboard 1, then a textFrame with contents "Text 2" on artboard 3, then a textFrame with contents "Text 3" on artboard 1, etc).
Artboard 1:
Text 1
Text 3
Artboard 2:
Text 4
Text 6
Artboard 3:
Text 5
Text 2
Is there a way to loop thru these artboards and get the textFrames tied to the appropariate artboard? So, on the first iteration of the loop, I'm looking at artboard 1 and only looking at "Text 1" and "Text 3", then on the the 2nd iteration I'd be working with artboard 2 and it's textFrames "Text 4" and "Text 6", and so on.
If I loop thru only the doc.textFrames, the order would be incorrect, with the way I added each textFrame. Instead of artboard order, they'd be in this order:
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Text 4
Text 5
Text 6

View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Centerlines On All Artboards
Jun 22, 2013I'm trying to create some simple vertical centerlines to be drawn in the same spot on all existing artboards in my document. What I have so far is creating the proper amount of centerlines but only drawing them in the correct spot on half of the artboards while the other half are being drawn in the space between the artboards. Here's what I have so far.
function addCenterLines() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.artboards.length; i++) {
var abRect = doc.artboards[i].artboardRect;
[code]...
showing the top of a couple of the artboards and the misplaced centerlines in between.I think I have a great misunderstanding of how the abRect coordinates work, as in which side is [0],[1],[2] and [3], which may be leading to my inability to get this right. How I can sort out my centerlines. The centerlines provided in the print dialog are not an option in this case.
Illustrator :: Use Artboards Disabled When Trying To Save As PDF In CS4?
Jun 13, 2012I'm trying to save my document to send to a client as a mock-up. When I try to save as PDF the tick box for "Use Artboards" is disabled, so when I save it saves the whole canvas instead of only what is on the artboard. When I try to export I can tick the tick box but the document still saves the whole canvas with everything that is "hanging off" the artboard too. The artboard is the exact size of the document.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Adding Artboards That Show Up In A PDF?
Aug 29, 2013I'm creating a file that has many artboards that I would like to be seen sequentially after saving as a PDF. I've been creating the artboards one at time from left to right to accomplish this. As you can imagine, there are times when I want to add an artboard before something that's already there but it seems like there's no way to do that if there is no more room horizontally...that you have to add extra artboards at the end of all of them and shift everything over to make room for the one you want to insert, which is time consuming.
It also seems like once the artboards get to a certain point horizontally (even if it's before the edge of the whole document where you can't place any to be seen), they don't show-up in the PDF, and you have to create a new row. What is the cut off point?
Illustrator :: How To Save Multiple Artboards Onto One PDF

I've trawled the settings and the web but to no avail. I've tried printing to PDF from the print menu but the only printer is Adobe Postscript File; whereas online people can select PDF from the menu settings. Am I missing something here?
View 15 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Multiple Artboards To PDF Gives RAM Error?
Mar 19, 2014I am working on a walldesign, it will be printed as 3 pages. See attached file below.I am using the artboards for aligning the background to match bleed and content correctly.Below i used a .tif file as background that covers all area, Then i save PDF on each artboard,I turn off Keep illustrator edit and Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4). All three pdfs seem to work, they open in Acrobat.But doing it this way might corrupt the pdf?
If I import the pdf in photoshop it will give me RAM error. I have 64 gb ram in x64 enviroment so that should not happen when the PDF is only 10 mb? On a similiar project the printers also had trouble placing the pdf in their printing system also complaining on RAM? Or error on "Cant rasterize the image".
If i make 3 smaller backgrounds and remove all artboards and only have 1 for each part, then the above error don't occur and everything is fine. So i guess its either multiple artboards or that the background is to large in someway or is kept outside the trimarea in the pdf so it stays huge. I thought everything outside the cutting area would be cropped away if I save without illustrator edit. The pdf size seem to tell me that it has cropped everything outside. But the ram error will occur :
Illustrator :: Export All Artboards To PNG Without Cropping?
Mar 24, 2014I've got a 2x8 (wide) grid of artboards, and would like to export all of them to a single PNG as they appear. Unfortunately, Illustrator (CS6) is cropping the edges of the PNG to the objects in the artboards, rather than to the edges of the outer artboards. Is there some way to change this behaviour?
I've tried creating an unstroke, unfilled object that encompasses all of the artboards, but Illustrator seems to be ignoring it in the export (presumably because it's not printed).
