- It’s now possible to create multi-page PDF exports. This allows you to export multiple layers (from a single project), into a single PDF document and also to output multi-page report templates into a single document (this is also compatible with BOM improvements).
- To facilitate this, a new option has been added to the General Export tab of the Export Master Tool Settings: (Export multiple layers to a single file if supported (non Impact formats only):
- When enabled, it’s possible to generate the following multi-page PDF from a multi-layer Impact project (note that Adobe Reader’s Page Thumbnails option was used to display the thumbnails):
- The following PDF was generated from a multi-page Report Template - again, Adobe Reader’s Page Thumbnails option was deployed to display the thumbnails:
- Currently this option applies solely to the Adobe PDF format. The option was added to the General Export tab (as opposed to the Adobe PDF node) to allow multi-page support for any future formats supporting multiple pages.
- Note that the page names displayed in Adobe Reader are numerical – it’s not possible to replace these labels with Impact layer names.
- Note also that if you are using an export filter that creates PDF Layers for each exported palette, you’ll create several instances of palettes that are common to each layer (e.g. Cut, Crease etc).
- Layers within the visible page will always be listed in bold type within Adobe Reader’s Layer list.
- In the following screenshot, the Dimension, Cut & Crease palettes are contained within the visible page:
- In the following screenshot, Dimension, Sheet Size, Stock Sheet, Cut, Crease & Text palettes are contained within the visible page:
- Adobe Reader also provides an option to show layers only for the Visible Page(s):
- As expected, this would present the following:
