Print Preview in Illustrator 1

[callydonia]

Hi,
I am fairly new at Adobe Illustrator. I created a document and I am trying to do a print preview on it before sending it to the printer. Can someone tell me how to do print preview? I can't find the option.

Thanks.

Sort of...

Go to View > Show Page Tiling (it should be on by default). This toggles the page view, comprising of two gray/dotted rectangles. The outer one is the size of the printed page, and the inner one shows the printable area. It will match your settings in Page Setup.

If you click and hold on the hand tool (bottom of the toolbox), you'll be able to select the page tool. This allows you to move the printed page around.

So basically, your print preview is the document itself, but the page tool allows you to see where it will print on the page.
