Hello Friends,
I need help about the illustrator artboard. Recently I’m working in a catalogue design which is more than 100 pages, approximately 120 pages so it’s a big project and client want the pdf all together and also the AI file for print but I can’t take artboard more than 100 then how I send pdf file of that catalogue all together to the client? and if I use another 20 artboard for the rest of the work then should the client be able to print those 2 file all together? Please Help me guyes!!! 😟

They said they would remove this limitation 3 years ago. Not sure if they have done it, been a long time since I worked with Illustrator, but I can’t find anything new on Google about it, only old forum threads… Why not contact Adobe Support and ask? 🙂

For so many pages I’d recommend Adobe InDesign as it is meant for books, catalogues and the such. It has vector graphics support almost the same as Illustrator and can even import/paste artwork from Illustrator, and can export PDF with many pages just fine.

Or, you could split your document into multiple .AI files, like “0-100.ai”, “100-120.ai”, make separate PDFs for those files and then combine the PDFs into one single PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro’s “combine files” feature (or there are free online tools that combine PDFs)

Yes, you’d have to buy and install InDesign, and there’s also a learning curve since it’s a bit different in terminology and functionality, as it’s meant specifically for book-like designs.

First all adobe software tools are almost same.

2nd . if you don’t have any knowledge about - just make everything in illustrator by single artboard - save file name as page number then Import in Indesign page -

Whenever you do need to edit or revise any page content - Just Double Click on Indesign page - You’ll have That page Open in Adobe illustrator - That will easy for edit and light with very specific. After Just Save that file and Close illustrator. You’ll have AUTO UPDATE page in indesign.

Little unhandy but This is best way for Big project handling.

No I mean after export all the images of the pages can I directly save pdf file from indesign ?

Yes Dear - I already mentioned previously - Adobe all tools are almost same -

Indesign > File > Export > Save Pdf as you wanted - Web or Print or custom any resolution.

One more thing - When you will import illustrator file in indesign - That can look pixlate & blur - But don’t worry - Indesign do show low res By Default for Fast preview - If you wanted to see your content sharp as Adobe Illustrator do Show!! - Just Right Click > Display Performance > High Quality Preview. You’ll have Clear and Sharp Preview in your Indesign too.
