The Document window

Launching FreeHand displays the Document window and the pasteboard—the area that contains the pages of your document.

The Document window contains all your documents' objects. Objects must be placed on a page in order to be printed with the Print command; if they are placed on the pasteboard outside of page boundaries, you can print them using the Print Area command. For more information about the Print Area command, see Defining a print area. The pasteboard measures up to 222 x 222 inches and can hold 520 letter-sized pages. You can customize the buttons, tabbed panels, and toolbars. For more information on panels and toolbars, see Using panels and Customizing toolbars. If you modify a document without saving it, an asterisk appears next to the document name in the Document window. For more information, see Saving files.
