I have a doc that is 33" x 25.5" and want to tile it across nine 8.5" x 11" sheets. Simple, right? Wrong. Double clicking the page tiling tool aligns page 17 or something to the lower left edge, while page 1 is completely off the document. Why is there no way to align page 1 to the TOP left? All right, there isn't, so I try for 1/2 an hour to move the page tiling tool in some mysterious way so as to approximately get page 1 to the upper left but there is no rhyme or reason to the use of the tool that I can see. (The manual says nothing about this.) Am I missing something obvious? (Using Illustrator 10, Mac G4, "tile imageable areas.") Thank you for your help.

Thanks Dimoj, but with "tile full pages" selected 1) I lose portions of my image at the edge between pages and 2) it only tiles up to 9 pages, and sometimes my documents require more pages to fully tile. With "tile imageable areas" the whole image is printed--after trimming, I can line up the edges of adjacent pages without loss--and there is not a limit to the # of pages. But unfortunately, I then run into the problems of alignment described above.
