Moving the printable area


    You can adjust the placement of the printable area of the page to control how artwork is printed. This is a good way to avoid having the artwork extend past the boundaries of the current page.

    Tip iconWhen adjusting the printable area, you may find it easiest to choose View > Fit in Window so you can see all of your artwork.

To adjust the printable area using the Page tool:

  1. Select the Page tool Page tool . The pointer becomes a dotted cross when you move it to the active window.
  2. Drag the printable area to the new location. As you drag, the Page tool responds as if you were moving the page from its lower left corner.
  3. Note: You can move the printable area anywhere on the artboard; however, any part of a page that extends past the printable area boundary is not printed.
