Setting the document view
You can set your document view to help you work more efficiently. You can use multiple views to
see several pages or documents at once, and you can create custom views.
Commands in the View menu let you choose different ways to view and preview your work. You
can set preferences to determine the view and page placement when opening a document.
To set document view and placement preferences:
1
Display document preferences by doing one of the following:
•
In Windows, press U, then click the Document tab.
•
On the Macintosh, press U, then click the Document category.
2
Select an option to define how documents will appear when opened:
Restore View When Opening Document
opens documents at the same magnification as when
they were last saved.
Remember Window Size and Location
opens documents in the same window size and at the
same location as the last saved document.
3
Click OK.
For more information on preferences, see “Using preferences” on page 25.
Anti-aliasing artwork
Anti-aliasing removes jagged edges in onscreen artwork, so it appears smooth even when
magnified. Vector objects and text are anti-aliased by default in all drawing modes. You can turn
this option off if you want.
Note: On the Macintosh, anti-aliasing is available only if you’re running Mac OS X or later.
To turn off anti-aliasing:
1
Display redraw preferences by doing one of the following:
•
In Windows, press U, then click the Redraw tab.
•
On the Macintosh, press U, then click the Redraw category.
2
Deselect Enable Anti-Aliasing and click OK.
Optimizing document redrawing
You can choose how to view a document onscreen using drawing modes. Drawing modes don’t
affect object data or print quality. You can also set preferences to control screen redrawing.
The fast drawing modes, Fast Preview and Fast Keyline, optimize redrawing by reducing blend
steps to 10 and greeking (dimming) text for onscreen point sizes of 50 and below.
