Splitting an Illustrator document on several pdf-Files including cutting marks

Hello, I am new to the CC version and I wondered if it is possible to automatically split a bigger Illustrator document to smaller (printable) pdf files.
Right now i am having this kind of workflow:
Drawing on a big sheet - e.g. A1
Inserting "frames" size 18 x 26 cm in en extra layer
inserting "Glue here" marks with numbers, which then are supposed to be glued together when printed
cutting all lines on frame edges (This is still an issue for me in Illustrator CC - it worked with CS5 much better - there it was automatically snapping to the intersection point - got anybody also help for that??? )
copying each single frame and its content onto a new A4 document
exporting as png
inserting the pages into word, creating a pdf file
as you see - this process ist pretty long and time consuming, and no - I CAN'T just get it with my printer, because I wand that exact cutter marks in my pdf document.
Is there any way I could possibly automate that process - at least to some extent?
greetings
Sophie

so how do I do that?
I mean i just have one canvas i drew on, not a multipage ai file

  • I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

    I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas? 

    WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

  • Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

    Hey
    I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
    MY WISH -
    Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
    I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
    This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
    I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

    Reader doesn't have that ability. You would need Acrobat.

  • How do I combine several PDF files into one?

    I have renewed Adobe subscription and would like to combie several PDF files into one. I was able to do this last year, but can no longer combine files. What am I doing wrong? Step-by-step answer, please. Thank you.

    As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.

  • How do I convert an AppleWorks document to a PDF file?

    How do I save the document as a PDF file? Whether it's the entire or a selected part of it. I did it a while ago and forgot.
    Yes, I have tried the Appleworks help but didn't find it. It's gotta be simple.

    You use the Print dialog to save as a PDF. Essentially, it prints to a file. Set up to print as usual & then, in the lower left of the dialog box click the Save as PDF button.

  • Is it possible to convert several pdf files (into Excel or Word) at the same time ?

    I'd like to convert several pdf files (up to 500) into Excel at the same time. Is it possible ? How many files can Export PDF handle at the same time ?
    Thanks a lot for your answers,
    Sylvain

    Hi, Sylvain.
    This is a great idea! Currently, ExportPDF only can export 1 file at a time. (Acrobat can do a batch export using it's Action Wizard feature.)
    I added your idea to our idea list: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1499. If you'd like to see us add this feature, please go vote or add comment to this Idea on the idea list.
