Hey!
I'm creating a booth graphic that is cut into multiple panels, so I have it spanning across multiple artboards. I want me client to review the entire piece in a single page. All of my exports are putting each artboard on a separate page, be it saving a PDF copy or a PNG export.
Any way to do this easily without having to create a new document that is one artboard and copying and pasting the whole thing over? I've looked via Google and found no solutions.
Thank you for your time

Artboards can overlap. You can create a single Artboard that encompasses all your individual "panel" Artboards. Then Save As… just that one large Artboard to a PDF for your client to review.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I can just create a another document with the dimensions of all the artboards I have now as one artboard, then copy and paste my art to that one artboard and save out a single page PDF. I wanted to avoid having to do that.
I guess there is no way to save out multiple artboards as a single page/single image?
Thanks again.

You don't need an additional document, just an additional artboard.

Like this:
Just draw one artboard with the Artboard tool that encompasses all the existing artboards.

Okay this is EXACTLY what I wanted to do, thank you!!
One question though, my artwork bleeds across all my panels. I don't want the bleeds to show up when I export. Any ideas?

Another approach. Position your 3 artboards horizontally so that they are touching each other.
Draw a rectangle that covers all 3 artboards and arrange it to the back. It can be white with no stroke so that it doesn't show when printed.
Choose File > Print and select the PDF print driver.
In the print dialog, put a check mark on Ignore Artboards.
Your file will print on a single PDF page.

Why do that when you can use Save a Copy, choose PDF and select just the artboard you want?

Trying printing to a pdf (File/Print)
Check the box next to Ignore Artboards
If you need the orientation to be different, uncheck Auto Rotate.
Is that what you're looking for?

Guys, this cript will do the job:
// Prompt the user to select a destination folder
var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a destination folder for PDF exports.");
// Check if a folder was selected
if (destFolder != null) {
// Loop through all artboards and export to PDF
for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.artboards.length; i++) {
// Set the current artboard
app.activeDocument.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);
// Get the current artboard's name
var artboardName = app.activeDocument.artboards[i].name;
// Create a new file object for the export
var exportFile = new File(destFolder + "/" + artboardName + ".pdf");
// Set the export options
var exportOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
exportOptions.artboardRange = (i + 1).toString();
exportOptions.preserveEditability = false;
// Export the PDF
app.activeDocument.saveAs(exportFile, exportOptions);
}
// Alert the user that the export is complete
alert("Artboards have been exported as individual PDFs to " + destFolder + ".");
}
else {
// Alert the user that no folder was selected
alert("No destination folder was selected. Please try again.");
}
