To show or hide the artboard:
To show the artboard, choose View > Show Artboard; to hide the artboard, choose View > 
Hide Artboard.
To change the size of the artboard:
Choose File > Document Setup. Then choose Artboard from the pop-up menu at the 
top left of the Document Setup dialog box.
Do one of the following:
Choose a preset size from the Size pop-up menu.
Choose Custom from the Size pop-up menu, and enter the dimensions you want in the 
text boxes, up to 227 inches by 227 inches. You can change the units in the document 
(and therefore of the artboard size) by choosing a different unit from the Edit > 
Preferences > Units & Undo dialog box (Windows and Mac OS 9) or the Illustrator > 
Preferences > Units & Undo dialog box (Mac OS X).
Select Use Print Setup (Windows) or Use Page Setup (Mac OS) to set the size of the 
artboard to match the page size set in the Print Setup (Windows) or Page Setup 
(Mac OS) dialog box. The size of the artboard then changes anytime you choose a new 
page size in the Print/Page Setup dialog box.
Click OK.
Note: The artboard displays the maximum printable area but does not define the size of 
the printed page. The printable area of the page is derived from the printer driver and ppd 
of the printing device. You can only change page size settings if your printer will accept 
custom page sizes.
To change the size of the page:
Choose File > Print Setup (Windows) or File > Page Setup (Mac OS) and select a page type 
in the dialog box. 
Note: The imageable area and page size are not limitations when printing to imagesetters 
that handle large media. Imagesetters can typically print to the edge of the page. The 
page size used by an imagesetter may be larger than the page size specified in Illustrator, 
enabling you to print bleeds, for example, that run past the edge of the page.
To change the color of the page:
Choose File > Document Setup.
Select Transparency from the pop-up menu.
Select Simulate Paper, and then click the top color swatch and select a new color from 
the color picker.
Click OK.
Tiling artwork and adjusting page boundaries
The artboard’s dimensions do not necessarily match the paper sizes used by printers. As a 
result, when you print a file, the program divides the artboard into one or more rectangles 
that correspond to the page size available on your printer. Dividing the artboard to fit a 
printer’s available page size is called tiling. Tiling is also used when you set up your file to 
view and print multiple pages.
