I've looked for quite a while to find a simple script to save multiple artboards to single page PDFs but to no avail.

Imagine that there are several artboards with office stationary and I want to export specific single page PDFs for print... It's a pain in the posterior. now multiply that by a range of different colours multiplied by a list of employees and what could be 5x export commands turns into 150 exports with several clicks for each one.

A chap from the NY Times wrote a script: Export Illustrator Layers and/or Artboards as PNGs and PDFs | Matthew Ericson - ericson.net but that's for Mac...

C'mon Adobe, this should be standard, surely?

There are work arounds from what I've read but i don't have Acrobat professional.

Any chance this can be patched or updated?

Cheers

Andy

In case you're using a current version, the Export for screens feature will do it as well.

Monika, the OP wants the PDFs print-ready. I see no place to define a PDF preset in the Export for Screens dialog. Is there one hidden?

I assume this option produces only Smallest File (RGB) PDFs. Is that right? I can't imagine I could use a screen export method to create printable documents, but am I wrong?

Doug, you might have to make a boat load of Presets with various options for the different outputs you need.

That's exactly right, Larry. And in my case, definitely worth the effort because, for the most part, I need only customize the standard Press Quality preset to include printer's marks and bleeds. Far from a boatload for the added convenience.

Thanks.
