In a recent tweet, Hyppönen mentioned that the software company removed one of his tweets that linked to an old copy of Acrobat Reader for MS-DOS. This software, hosted on WinWorld, came out more than 27-years ago, shortly after the PDF was invented.

    multiple art boards

    I’m not familiar with multiple art boards. Is this what it’s about? Is it any more powerful than this? If so can you show me a tutorial/documentation on how it works?

    i use multiple windows in inkscape and tabs in Gimp. I would find it useful in some situations to have several tabs/windows on the same active drawing window. Also the “save all artboards” feature sounds useful. Exporting each file individually can take time when there’s a bunch of those. I believe inkscape/gimp project would be happy to receive such a feature request. Should it include anything else for your usecase?

      In this case artboards are multiple documents/canvases inside a single doc. Use case might be laying up a business card on two artboards front/back within the file. In my case it allows me to iterate design or layouts in quick succession in one file. Historically illustrator was only allowed single files/artboards and indesign was used for multi-page. You URL looks to be an edge case the basic overview is probably better https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/how-to/visual-dictionary-artboard.html
