How to set up two documents side by side with crop marks for print?

Report · Jan 22, 2018

Hello everyone!

I am hosting my sisters birthday and decided to design and print the invitations myself. I have already designed them (very simple - no images just text) in illustrator at 5x7.

I want to create one page which has two of these invitations side by side with crop marks, so that I can print them myself and then trim them! I'd like it to be PDF.

How do I do this? And once I've done it, can I save it so that I can just go back and print more without having to set it up all over again?

I hope this makes sense, and I also hope it's in the right forum!

Thanks in advance

Edit your Artboards in Illustrator to make the page size 8.5x11, add crop marks to your card, copy and paste to duplicate, save as a PDF from Illustrator and print. If you get stuck, there is an Illustrator forum.
