Printing your document

A printer's page size does not necessarily match the artwork in Illustrator. When this happens, you can divide (or tile) the artwork to match a printer's page size. These instructions apply to Adobe Illustrator 8. Procedures for other versions may vary.

Adobe Illustrator
Step 1
Create your artwork.
Step 2
Reposition pages on the artboard, if desired, by using the Page tool.
Step 3
Reveal tiling by choosing Show Page Tiling from the View menu.
Step 4
Go to Document Setup under the File menu to change tiling options.
Step 5
Choose Single Full Page if you want to print a full page.
Step 6
Select Tile Multiple Pages if you want to view and print multiple pages - as in a brochure, for example.
Step 7
Choose Tile Imageable Areas if you want to view and print a single piece of artwork that is too big for one page. A large poster is one example.
Step 8
Click OK.
