2Create an Artboard for the cut size, and enter the bleed value as a cut margin (e.g. 2 mm for each business card)

3 You can duplicate as many Artboard pages as you like.

4 If the Artboard is cloned horizontally and placed out of the editing area, you can create additional space using the Artboard alignment function and then duplicate it.

5 Artboard sorting is a good way to sort and organize your work.

6 Single-Sided Prints: One Artboard indicates Single-sided printing. It is recommended to leave enough space between Artboard and Artboard (20mm or above)

7 Double-sided printing: If you are creating two-sided prints, a minimum of two Artboards must be placed side-by-side horizontally before printing.
If you are working on multiple business cards, place them horizontally, and then go to the next line, A front, A back, B front, B back, C front, C back etc.

8 There should be no overlap of images on the Artboard with more than two pages.

How To Save As PDF

 

1 The PDF must be saved in the order of 1 front, 1 back, 2 front, 2 back, 3 front, and 3 back.
You must comply with the PDF saving specification (Press Quality, 6.0 or higher, Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers).

2 If you've created the working and cutting size with the Artboard, please be sure to double-check and then save file. If you save the PDF in Illustrator without changing any of the Artboard settings, the page order will follow the sequence when the Artboard is created. However, if you would like to save them in your own desired order, you can arrange the sequence according to your preferred order in the Artboard window and then click Save.

3Adobe Acrobat Pro allows you to save and change the page sequence after saving your work into a PDF file.
