USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4
Workspace
Specify document setup options
At any point you can change your document’s default setup options for units of measure, transparency grid display,
background color, and type settings such as language, quote style, superscript and subscript size, and exportability. The
Edit Artboards button closes this dialog box and activates the Artboard tool. Use this button if you want to modify
your artboards.
1 Choose File > Document Setup or click the Document Setup button in the Control panel (this button is visible when
nothing is selected).
2 Specify options as desired.
Note: The Simulate Colored Paper option is useful if you plan to print the document on colored paper. For example, if
you draw a blue object on a yellow background, the object appears green. The simulation is performed only when the
transparency grid is not shown.
For specific information on these options, see related topics.
