Illustrator CS4 - Multiple Pages!

[SharkiESR]

But how wouldnt it cause youre computer to suffocate on memory overload? illustrator files are heavier than Freehand files. Should we not place AI files in InDesign document and open each AI file one at the time (Edit Original command) ANYMORE? You cant make Manuals and Books with AI alone, can you?

how do i import an ai document into the current illustrator project im in...i want to put three different vector ai files together into the same vector project im working on...hope that makes sense...

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I couldn't figure out how to do this with illustrator but thanks to you now I do.

i USE Illustrator and all but why use it to create Letterheads, Envelopes, Bizz Cards... isnt that why Indesign is for?

As an experienced Corel Draw user...I am stunned how difficult it is to create new pages 'art boards' in Illustrator Cs4...with an existing document is there a way to add pages to it? (without creating a new one?) Have given up and am reinstalling Corel Draw...in Corel Draw you just press "+" and you have a new page!!

Cool. Freehand had this since, uhhh, 1991? 1992? Freehand is STILL better. I recommend anyone who's really doing digital illustration they avoid illustrator and learn FH. It's. Just. Better.

[freedomfyter]

@misterwarwick totally disagree.

The only drawback, Adobe makes sure it's own applications are not friendly with it, to frustrate users and make Corel seem useless. And since PS is a definite standard in the industry (my tool of choice for raster images), then that incompatibility makes you have to use Illustrator as a transition stage (almost a converter) between CDR and PS. Adobe knows the lemon AI is (bulky, slow), and I hope when they decide to integrate it with FH, they don't just "F" it up even more!

Funny, CorelDRAW has this since it's 3.0 version I think, if not, at least the 4.0.

Illustrator users always trash CDR, saying it's not intuitive, too many tools, too rigid etc...

CDR is much more precise, it's had the free scaling option since it's first version (the corner nodes you see in illustrator until the cs/11.0 version), has many many more export and import options, was completely customizable since it's 6.0 version, etc.

Deja vu... Too little, too late.

well, congratulations!!!!! freehand got this features since nearly 20 years, but better late than never...

Hi, how do you scale the Blob tool so easily? I tryed some key shortcuts but no way. I have to use its prefs double clickin on it every time.

Thanks. Nice video.

Please tell me how you can export this "multiple artboard" file to an multiple pages pdf file?!!

[mMarceljanssen]

@Shmeeizer

In CS4 you can make a different 'Number of Artboards' if you make a new document. Every artboard is a page. If they are all the same size it will a be multi-page pdf.

OK, but this is just plain stupid! I see that they tried to copy some of the features CorelDRAW! had eons ago but they didn't implemented them right.! Why work on only one plane? Try using pages or panels one after another not 'artboards' beside other 'artboards'. What if I wanted multiple page different format pdf?

:D thx!!!!!
