2 Select Setup on the left side of the Print dialog box. Set the following options, and click Done:
• For Crop Artwork To, select Artboard.

page tiling” on page 37.)
4 Lay out the artwork for each page within the page tiling boundaries on the artboard.
5 Save the file in Adobe PDF format. (See “To create an Adobe PDF file” on page 346.)

7 Set additional PDF options, and click Save PDF.
To create a layered Adobe PDF file
Adobe InDesign and Adobe Acrobat both provide features for changing the visibility of layers in an Adobe PDF file.
By saving a layered PDF file in Illustrator, you allow your illustration to be used in different contexts. For example,
rather than create multiple versions of the same illustration for a multilanguage publication, you can create one PDF
file that contains text for all languages.
1 Set up your illustration so that the adjustable elements (those you want to show and hide) are in separate top-level
layers, not nested within sublayers.
For example, if you’re creating an illustration to be repurposed for multiple languages, put the text for each language
in a different top-level layer.
2 Save the file in Adobe PDF format. (See “To create an Adobe PDF file” on page 346.)
3 In the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, choose Acrobat 7 (1.6) or Acrobat 6 (1.5) for Compatibility.
4 Select Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers, set additional PDF options, and click Save PDF.
To create an Adobe PDF/X-compliant file
PDF/X (Portable Document Format Exchange) is an ISO standard for graphic content exchange that eliminates
many of the color, font, and trapping variables that lead to printing problems. Illustrator supports PDF/X-1a (for a
CMYK workflow) and PDF/X-3 (for a color-managed workflow).
You can create a PDF/X-compliant file during the process of saving a PDF file.
1 In the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, choose a PDF/X preset, or choose a PDF/X format from the Standard menu.
2 Click Output on the left side of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, and set PDF/X options.
