Hello, I am new to the CC version and I wondered if it is possible to automatically split a bigger Illustrator document to smaller (printable) pdf files.
Right now i am having this kind of workflow:
- Drawing on a big sheet - e.g. A1
- Inserting "frames" size 18 x 26 cm in en extra layer
- inserting "Glue here" marks with numbers, which then are supposed to be glued together when printed
- cutting all lines on frame edges (This is still an issue for me in Illustrator CC - it worked with CS5 much better - there it was automatically snapping to the intersection point - got anybody also help for that??? )
- copying each single frame and its content onto a new A4 document
- exporting as png
- inserting the pages into word, creating a pdf file
as you see - this process ist pretty long and time consuming, and no - I CAN'T just get it with my printer, because I wand that exact cutter marks in my pdf document.
Is there any way I could possibly automate that process - at least to some extent?
greetings
Sophie
