I created an EPS in Illustrator in 2 artboards. I allways click on the EPS file with right click, and then select create adobe PDF. Adobe Acrobat DC then opens and the PDF is created in 1 single pdf with no white space around it.

Now suddenly it doesnot auto rotated anymore, and the file is placed in the left under corner, filled with a lot of white space around it, or even not showing the complete artboards anymore. I have not changed anything in the settings. The only thing i installed is office365.

What can i do. It is no option for me to save the pdf in Illustrator, because the customer cannot see the difference then between one or 2 designs, because each artboard is then under each other in steath of next to each other

Illustrator file:

How it should be created:

Now it Adobe Acrobat does this:

it doesn't rotate the file, it is worthless right now.

Please help and let me know what i can do.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Will

I found the answer myself.

I can make the same pdf, so that all the artboards are next to each other by "asset export" and then select PDF ( in Illustrator).

Thank you all for your help.

You can give up on this, because it is considered obsolete, so Adobe don't look at problems with it. Why are you not just saving a PDF from Illustrator, it's very strongly recommended and the only supported path. You need to find a way around the customer issue that stops you doing it, you have been doing immense damage to the file. For example, copy one artboard to a new document to save it and make two PDFs. Or place into InDesign, or...
