Specify Certificate Setup options

At any point you tin change your document's default setup options for units of measure, transparency grid display, background colour, and type settings such as language, quote fashion, superscript and subscript size, bleeds, and exportability. The Edit Artboards push button closes this dialog box and activates the Artboard tool.

Choose File > Document Setup, or click theDocument Setup button in the Control console. (This button is bachelor when null is selected.)

Specify options as desired.

If you want to edit artboards (for example, to change from portrait to landscape orientation), click Edit Artboards to enter artboard editing mode.

The Simulate Colored Newspaper option is useful if you plan to print the document on colored paper. For example, if you lot draw a blue object on a yellow groundwork, the object appears dark-green. The simulation is only performed when the transparency grid is not shown.

About print tiling

By default, Illustrator prints each artboard on a single canvas of paper. Even so, if the artwork is larger than the page sizes bachelor on your printer, you tin can print onto multiple sheets of paper.

Dividing an artboard to fit a printer's available page sizes is called tiling. Yous can cull a tiling option in the Full general department of the Print dialog box. To view the print tiling boundaries on the artboard, choose View > Show Impress Tiling.

Artboard divided into multiple page tiles

When you split the artboard into multiple tiles, the pages are numbered from left to right and from pinnacle to bottom, starting with folio i. These page numbers appear on‑screen for your reference only; they do non print. The numbers enable yous to print all of the pages in the file or specify particular pages to print.

Zoom in or out the artwork

There are several ways to zoom in or out of artwork.

Select the Zoom tool. The pointer becomes a magnifying glass with a plus sign in its center. Click in the center of the area that you desire to magnify, or agree down Alt (Windows) or Pick (macOS) and click in the middle of the surface area that you want to reduce. Each click magnifies or reduces the view to the previous preset percentage.

When yous zoom in or out while working on artwork, using the Zoom tool or its keyboard shortcuts, Illustrator brings the selected art in the eye of the view. If the selection has ballast points or segments, Illustrator also brings those anchor points to the center of the view when you zoom in or out. To disable zoom to selection, go toPreferences > Option And Anchor Brandish and and then, deselect the Zoom To Option option.

zoom-to-selection_3

Select the Zoom tool and drag a dotted rectangle, called amarquee, around the surface area you want to magnify. To move the marquee effectually the artwork, agree down the spacebar, and proceed dragging to motility the marquee to a new location.
Cull View >Zoom In or View >Zoom Out. Each click magnifies or reduces the view to the next preset percent.
Set the zoom level at the lower-left corner of the primary window or in the Navigator panel.
To display a file at 100%, choose View > Actual Size, or double-click the Zoom tool.
To fill the window with the selected artboard, choose View > Fit Artboard In Window, or double-click the Hand tool.
To view everything in the window, choose View > Fit All In Window.

Actual size preview

Equally a print designer, yous may desire to preview your artwork earlier printing and check how information technology looks in actual impress size. For this, yous tin can generate a print preview of the document in actual print size on 100% zoom.

Choose View > Actual Size to view brandish elements in actual print size irrespective of your monitor size and resolution. Now, when you perform a 100% zoom on a document, the size of every object in the document is the bodily representation of the physical size of the object. For example, if you open up a new artboard of A4 size and click Actual Size, the artboard size is inverse to an actual A4 sheet.

The actual size works for all resolutions, scale factors, and viewing modes, except for the pixel preview.

If you are using more than one brandish monitors, the actual size characteristic will work just on the primary monitor.

TheActual Sizeoption is enabled by default, which means the document is always shown in actual size on performing a 100% zoom. Withal, if you want your certificate view to remain unaffected on 100% zoom, you can disable theActual Size choice. To do this, perform the following steps:

ChooseEdit>Preferences>General (Windows) or chooseIllustrator>Preferences>General (macOS).
DeselectDisplay Print Size at 100% Zoom.

For more information near how to set upwards print documents, see Setting upwards documents for printing.

You can bring a different area of the artboard into view past doing whatsoever of the following:

ChooseView>Fit All In Window to zoom out so that all artboards are visible in on the screen.
ChooseView>Fit Artboard In Window to zoom in on the active artboard.
In the Navigator panel, click the area of the thumbnail brandish that you desire to view in the illustration window. Alternatively, drag the proxy view expanse (the colored box) to a unlike area of the thumbnail display.
Select the Hand tool, and elevate in the direction you want the artwork to motility.

Preview artwork as outlines

By default, Adobe Illustrator sets the view so that all artwork is previewed in color. However, you can choose to display artwork and so that just its outlines (or paths) are visible. Viewing artwork without pigment attributes speeds upward the fourth dimension it takes to redraw the screen when working with complex artwork.

In Outline mode, linked files are displayed by default as outlined boxes with an 10 inside. To view the contents of linked files, cull File>Certificate Setup, and select Testify Images In Outline Mode.

You lot tin view your artwork as outlines in the GPU Preview mode in Illustrator on screens with resolution greater than 2000 pixels in width or height. Viewing artwork in the GPU Outline mode displays smoother paths and speeds up the time information technology takes to redraw the complex artwork on loftier-density display screens.

To view all artwork as outlines, choose View > Outline or press Ctrl+E (Windows) or Control+E (macOS). Choose View > Preview to return to previewing artwork in color.
To view all artwork in a layer as outlines, Ctrl‑click (Windows) or Command-click (macOS) the heart icon for the layer in the Layers panel. Ctrl‑click (Windows) or Command-click (macOS) again to return to previewing artwork in color. The eye icon has a hollow center when Outline view is enabled and a filled center when Preview view is enabled.
To view all items in unselected layers as outlines, Alt+Ctrl‑click (Windows) or Option+Command-click (macOS) the eye icon for the selected layer. Alternatively, select Outline Others from the Layers console menu.
Tip: Yous can return all items in the Layers panel to Preview mode past choosing Preview All Layers from the Layers panel menu.

Use multiple windows and views

You lot can open multiple windows of a single certificate at the aforementioned time. Each window can have dissimilar view settings. For example, you tin set one window highly magnified for doing close‑upward work on some objects and create another window less magnified for laying out those objects on the page.

(Windows) You tin can accommodate multiple open windows to suit your needs, using options from the Window carte. Cascade displays windows stacked and descending from the upper-left to the lower-right of the screen; Tile displays windows edge to edge; Arrange Icons organizes minimized windows within the program window.

An alternative to creating multiple windows is creating multiple views. You can create and store up to 25 views for each document.

Multiple windows and multiple views differ in the following ways:

Multiple views are saved with the document, multiple windows are not.
Multiple windows can be viewed at the aforementioned time.
Multiple views can appear at the aforementioned time only if multiple windows are opened to brandish them in. Irresolute a view alters the current windows, it does not open a new one.

Create a new window

Choose Window > New Window.

Create a new view

Fix up the view as you want, and so choose View > New View, enter a proper noun for the new view, and click OK.

Rename or delete a view

Cull View > Edit Views.

Switch betwixt views

Select a view name from the bottom of the View menu.

Previewing artwork in terminal output medium

Illustrator provides the following ways to preview how aspects of artwork await when printed or viewed on the web or a mobile device:

Overprint Preview way (View > Overprint Preview)

Provides an "ink preview" that approximates how blending, transparency, and overprinting appear in colour-separated output.

Pixel Preview fashion (View > Pixel Preview)

Approximates how your artwork appears when it is rasterized and viewed in a web browser.

Trim View mode (View > Trim View)

Trims the view to the boundaries of the artwork. In this mode, artwork with all not-printing objects on the canvas is hidden, such as grids, guides, and elements extending beyond the edge of the artboard. Any artwork falling outside the artboard is clipped. You can continue to create and edit your artwork in this screen style.

This mode is useful for previewing artworks including posters.

trim-view-2 — The original view and the trimmed view

Flattener Preview panel (Window > Flattener Preview)

Highlights areas of the artwork that meet certain criteria for flattening when saved or printed.

Soft-proofs

Judge how your certificate's colors announced on a particular type of monitor or output device.

Anti-aliasing

Gives vector objects a smoother on‑screen appearance and provides a better idea of how vector artwork will look when printed on a PostScript® printer. Anti-aliasing is helpful because screen resolution is relatively limited, but vector artwork is ofttimes printed at a high resolution. To plough on anti-aliasing, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > General (Mac OS), select Anti-aliased Artwork, and click OK.

Device Key (File > Device Primal)

Lets you preview how your certificate appears on a particular mobile phone or device.

View artwork in presentation mode

In Presentation fashion, the active artboard of the electric current Illustrator certificate fills the entire screen. In this mode, the application carte du jour, panels, guides, grids, and all selections are subconscious. It is a non-editable style in which only the artwork on the artboard is displayed. This fashion works well for presenting design ideas.

To enter the presentation fashion, practise 1 of the following:

Choose View > Presentation Mode.
Press Shift + F.
Click the icon on the toolbar and choose Presentation Mode in the drop-downwardly listing.
(macOS only) Press the Navigation button on the Touch panel. Click the arrow controls to switch between the side by side and the previous artboards.

To navigate between the artboards, press the left or the right arrow key to move to the previous or the side by side artboard, respectively. Alternatively, click anywhere to move to the adjacent artboard.

To leave this way, press Esc key.

No other keyboard shortcut works when you are in Presentation way.
