File › Print printed each artboard on a sheet of its own. A 2 × 3.5 in
card on Letter printed once in the middle of the page, and Print had no
option to fill the sheet with copies.
The Print dialog's General section has Copies per Sheet (off by
default) and a Gutter. With it on, a sheet holds as many copies of the
artboard as fit the imageable area, each with its bleed and marks,
across then down, gutter pt apart. The card prints 4 × 3 on Letter,
and 3 × 3 with an 18 pt gutter. The copies are not turned, and the
placement places the whole grid as it places one copy. An artboard
that does not fit prints one copy per sheet with a warning, and more
than 1,000 copies on a sheet is an error. Tiling leaves the option
out. The PDF and PostScript writers draw the art and the marks once
per copy, the PDF TrimBox holds every copy, the preview draws each
copy, and print.preview lists them as `copies`. With the option off,
the layout lists no copies and the writers draw the page as before.

Each visible object with a URL (Attributes panel) is written as a Link
annotation with a URI action over its bounds on the page, trimmed to its
clipping groups. Hidden objects, non-printing layers and printed sheets get
none; PDF/X files leave them out with a warning. URIs are percent-encoded
to 7-bit ASCII.
