Any way to write a mulitpage *.pdf out of Illustrator?
Photoshop has this nifty 'Automate PDF' feature, but haven't seen anything like that in Illustrator. I usually write them out of Photoshop, but want to preserve the vector information, however I don't wanna send the ol'girl sixteen seperate files. I know it can be done, because I've received such files, but I don't know if it's an Illustrator function, or if I'll need Acrobat. Thanks!

Not sure how your making a multipage illustrator file unless your using CS4.
a) If your using CS4 you need to create your file with multiple artboards. Then when you save as PDF it creates a multipage PDF.
b) If your using pre CS4 and have made a layer for each page. Here is a link to a java script for Illustrator CS2 for dumping layers into a PDF.

Not sure how well it plays with other versions.
c) If you have a massive artboard with pages throughout you need to setup tiled printing. Then preferred way, output to postscript and distill. Not so preferred, using a PDF writer.
d) if those previous answers seem confusing and you do now how to make 16 individual PDFs of each, and have the full Adobe Acrobat... Save each as a PDF. Then in newer versions of acrobat just go File>Combine>Merge Files into Single PDF..
Or on Older versions, just open one file and go to Document>Insert Pages.. and pick the other PDFs to merge
Or open 1 file and then load the Page Thumbnail window on the right hand side of the window. Drag and drop your PDF files right into it.
e) If you dont have the full version of Acrobat download maybe something like this free PDF merger: http://www.quickpdftools.com/
f) Assemble AI/EPS/PDF files in InDesign or Quark and create a PDF.
g) The answer to life the universe and everything is 42
Knowing what version of Illustrator using and what platform.. OSX or Windows helps. If your on OSX probably use a Automator script to merge as well.
