About print tiling
By default, Illustrator prints each artboard on a single sheet of paper. However, if the artwork is larger than the page
sizes available on your printer, you can print onto multiple sheets of paper.
Dividing an artboard to fit a printer’s available page sizes is called tiling. You can choose a tiling option in the General
section of the Print dialog box. To view the print tiling boundaries on the artboard, choose View > Show Print Tiling.
When you divide the artboard into multiple tiles, the pages are numbered from left to right and from top to bottom,
starting with page 1. These page numbers appear on-screen for your reference only; they do not print. The numbers
enable you to print all of the pages in the file or specify particular pages to print.
Zoom in or out
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 want to magnify, or hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click in the center of the
area that you want to reduce. Each click magnifies or reduces the view to the previous preset percentage.
• Select the Zoom tool and drag a dotted rectangle, called a marquee, around the area you want to magnify. To move
the marquee around the artwork, hold down the spacebar, and continue dragging to move the marquee to a new
location.
• Choose View > Zoom In or View >Zoom Out. Each click magnifies or reduces the view to the next preset
percentage.
• Set the zoom level at the lower-left corner of the main 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.
Change the view area
You can bring a different area of the artboard into view by doing any of the following:
• Choose View > Actual Size to see all of your artboards in actual size.
• Choose View > Fit All In Window to zoom out so that all artboards are visible in on the screen.
• Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window to zoom in on the active artboard.
