Printing


To print a file, choose File, Print; you're presented with the Print dialog box (see Figure 7.215). Along the left side of the dialog box is a list of different groups of options. The dialog box was designed so that most users don't really have to go beyond the first group of options, though. Near the bottom of the dialog box is a Fit to Page option, which enables you to automatically enlarge or reduce your art to fill the paper size that's chosen.

The lower left of the dialog box also contains a print preview window, which gives you a real-time representation of what your file will look like when it's printed. You can click on the preview and drag it to reposition the art on the page, if you like.

Illustrator also lets you save all the Print dialog box's settings as a print preset, which then appear for reuse in the Preset pop-up menu at the top of the dialog box.
