Whetever you use, the teeth must be razor-sharp, i.e. a new blade not used for cutting anything
else.
You can just about use a jigsaw, ideally with compressed air cooling, but you need a fine-to-medium
VERY SHARP woodcutting blade to avoid overheating and clogging. meUse goggles.
You can also cut it on a circular sawbench (not handheld c.saw) - I'm told the pros use blades
designed for aluminium cutting, but I've used a normal TCT wood blade - it was a bit scary but
worked OK with only minor chipping.
Bandsaws are also good as the heat is dissipated over the length of the blade.
A coarse hacksaw blade is also quite good.

Acrylic sheet cuts very well on a circular saw bench using a coarse rigid
sanding disc with holes as the saw blade.
