: Exporting from illustrator to A4 I know its basic, but i have an A4 artboard in Illustrator . I would like to send it to printing , and they want it to be in pdf. I afraid that the sizes

@Merenda852

First, don´t be afraid, if you create A4 file and you save it, they´ll be in A4 size and its not gonna change ( so, if you go to print and you don´t select A4 in your print settings they´ll change, take care of it)

To save your PDF to optimal print always save it in "High Quality Print" (if you want to make lighter file unmark "Preserve illustrator editing capabilities" this let you posible email sending)



To save docs for print in .png always in 300 ppi (previous check the "use artboard box" for correct size)

To turn any Illustrator file into a High-Res, Print-Ready PDF, you can just use the File > Save As dialogue and choose "PDF" from your file type.

In order to keep it high resolution and perfect for print, the easiest way is to use the [High Quality] Illustrator default from the PDF options dialogue.

The main thing you want is Illustrator to not "downsample" the work you've created to a low resolution. If you're doing this manually, it is within the Compression tab of the PDF save options.
