Question
How do you get multiple pages?

Answer
Hi Leslie,

The only way to get multiple pages in AI is to use the Document and Print Setup menu items.

Let's do two letter sized pages, side by side.

First, set your artboard size in Document Setup (select Tabloid or set the Width to 17 x Height to 11) making sure the orientation is landscape.  

Choose "Tile Full Pages" here, as well.

Do NOT select the "use print setup" option you see here.

In your Print Setup, choose a normal, portrait oriented letter size.

If you do not see two pages now, back in your document, double click on the Page Tool (which is hidden behind the Hand tool in the Tools palette).  You should now see two full pages, side by side.  If not, click and drag on the page with the page tool until you can see all the margins of both pages.

Hope this helped!

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
