Adobe Illustrator
Create an Artboard with working size.The working size is the size which extends to the edge of the final cut size for your desired output.
Please be sure to double check the working and cutting size.
Create an Artboard for the cut size, and enter the bleed value as a cut margin (e.g. 2 mm for each business card)
You can duplicate as many Artboard pages as you desire.
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.
Artboard sorting is a good way to sort and organize your work.
Single-Sided Prints: One Artboard equals to one print side. It is recommended to leave enough space between Artboard and Artboard (20mm or above)
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, ... You can create your work with this method
There should be no overlap of images on Artboard with more than two pages.How to save PDF
