It's also easiest for production to print a board from a single pdf than from lots of individual pages. You can present the boards as an animatic exported to an MOV, AVI, or MP4 file, and you can even export your boards to an animation program like Toon Boom's Animate or Harmony, to set up all the animation files for the animators.
