Note:
This article is relevant to Adobe Illustrator CC versions 2015.3 and earlier. Beginning with the CC 2017 release, Illustrator provides a new document creation experience. While creating a new document, you can now choose from a wide variety of templates and presets, including templates from Adobe Stock. For details, see Create documents.
A document is the space in which you create artwork. In Illustrator, you can create documents destined for many different types of output.
You start a new document by choosing a new document profile based on your intended output. Each profile includes preset values for size, color mode, units, orientation, transparency, and resolution. All use one artboard, by default. For example, the Video And Film Document profile uses pixels instead of points, and you can choose a device-specific crop area, such as NTSC DV Widescreen, to create a document in the exact dimensions required, with video-safe guides in place to help you lay out your design for optimal viewing.
Note:
If you plan to output your file to a high-endprinter, for example if you’re sending it to a service bureau, specifythe Print profile to ensure your artwork and any effects appliedto the artwork are set to the proper resolution.
Uses a default letter size artboard, and provides a varietyof other preset print sizes to choose from. Use this profile ifyou plan to send this file to a service bureau for output to a high‑endprinter.
Provides preset options optimized for output to the web.
Creates an FXG document in RGB mode with 800px x 600px artboardas the default size. Align to Pixel Grid is enabled for new artin the document and the Raster Effects Resolution is set to 72ppi.It also has Swatches, Symbols, Graphic Styles and Brushes designedkeeping Flash Catalyst and Flash Professional workflowsin mind.
Provides several preset video- and film-specific crop areasizes (note that the Artboard option changes to CropSize for this profile). Illustrator creates only squarepixel files, so to ensure that the sizes are interpreted correctlyin video applications, Illustrator adjusts the Width and Heightvalues. For example, if you choose NTSC DV Standard, Illustratoruses a pixel size of 654 x 480, which translates to 740 x 480 pixelsin video-based applications.
Uses a default letter size artboard, and provides a varietyof other sizes to choose from. Use this profile if you plan to senda document to multiple types of media. If one of the media typesis a service bureau, you’ll want to manually increase the RasterEffects setting to High.
Uses a default 800 x 600 size artboard, and provides a varietyof other print-, video-, and web-specific sizes to choose from.Do not use this option if you plan to send a document to a servicebureau or output to a high-end printer. Use this profile for documentsthat will be output to mid-level printers, to the web, or multipletypes of media.
You can create new Illustrator documents from a new document profile or from a template. Creating a document from a new document profile gives you a blank document with the selected profile’s default fill and stroke colors, graphic styles, brushes, symbols, actions, viewing preferences, and other settings. Creating a document from a template gives you a document with preset design elements and settings, as well as content, such as
You create a new document from the Welcome screen, or by using File > New. To view the Welcome screen, select Help > Welcome.
You can start a new document from the Welcomescreen or from the File menu.
If Illustrator is already open, choose File > New and from New Document Profile select the required document profile.
If the Welcome screen is open, click a document profile from the Create New list.
If Illustrator is not open, open it and click a document profile from the Create New list in the Welcome screen.
Note: In the Welcome screen, you can Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) to open the new document directly and skip the New Document dialog box.
- Specify the number of artboards for your document, andthe order you’d like them laid out on screen:
Arranges multiple artboards in the specified number ofrows. Choose the number of rows from the Rows menu. The defaultvalue creates the most square appearance possible with the specifiednumber of artboards.
Arranges multiple artboards in the specified number of columns.Choose the number of columns from the Columns menu. The default valuecreates the most square appearance possible with the specified numberof artboards.
Arranges artboards in one straight row.
Arranges artboards in one straight column.
Arranges multiple artboards in the specified row or columnformat, but displays them from right to left.
- Specify the default spacing between artboards. This settingapplies to both horizontal and vertical spacing.
- Specify the default size, units of measure, and layoutfor all artboards.
Note:
Once your document opens, you can customize yourartboards by moving and resizing them as desired.
- Specify the position of the bleed along each side ofthe artboard. To use different values for different sides, clickthe Lock icon .
- Click Advanced to specify the following additional options:
Note:
You can change these settings after you create thedocument by choosing File > Document Setup andspecifying new settings.
Specifies the color mode for the new document. Changingthe color mode converts the default contents (swatches, brushes,symbols, graphic styles) of the selected new document profile toa new color mode, resulting in a color change. Watch for a warningicon when making changes.
Specifies the resolution for raster effects in the document.It is especially important to set this at High when you plan tooutput to a high-end printer at high resolution. The Print profilesets this at High by default.
Specifies the options for the transparency grid for documentsthat use the Video And Film profile.
Sets the default preview mode for the document (you can changethis at any time by using the View menu):
Default displaysartwork created in the document in vector view with full color. Zoomin/out retains smoothness in the curves.
Pixel displays artwork with a rasterized (pixelated)appearance. It does not actually rasterize the content, but displaysa simulated preview, as if the contents were rasters.
Overprint provides an “ink preview” that approximateshow blending, transparency, and overprinting will appear in color-separatedoutput. (See About overprinting.)
This option, if selected, aligns any new objects to thepixel grid. Because this option is important for designs intendedfor display devices such as web, it is enabled by default for suchdocuments. For more information, see Drawingpixel-aligned paths for web workflows.
Choose File > New From Template.
Choose File > New. In the New Document dialog box, click Templates.
In the Welcome screen, click From Template in the Create New list.
In the New From Template dialog box, locate and select a template, and click New.
Templates letyou create new documents that share common settings and design elements.For example, if you need to design a series of business cards witha similar look and feel, you can create a template with the desiredartboard size, view settings (such as guides), and print options.The template can also contain symbols for common design elements(such as logos) and specific sets of color swatches, brushes, andgraphic styles.
Illustrator comes with a variety of templates, including templatesfor letterhead, business cards, envelopes, brochures, labels, certificates,postcards, greeting cards, and websites.
When a template is selected via the New From Template command,Illustrator creates a new document with identical content and documentsettings as the template, but leaves the original template fileuntouched.
- Customize the document in any of the following ways:
Set up the document window as you wantit to appear in new documents you create from the template. Thisincludes the magnification level, scroll position, ruler origin,guides, grids, crop areas, and options in the View menu.
Draw or import any artwork you want to appear innew documents you create from the template.
Delete any existing swatches, styles, brushes, orsymbols, you don’t want to retain.
Create any new swatches, styles, brushes, and symbols,you want in the corresponding panels. You can also import presetswatches, styles, brushes, symbols, and actions from a variety oflibraries that come with Illustrator.
Create any graph designs you want and add them tothe Graph Design dialog box. You can also import preset graph designs.
Set the desired options in the DocumentSetup dialog box and Print Options dialog box.
In the Save As dialog box, select a location for the file, enter a filename, and click Save.
Illustrator saves the file in AIT (Adobe Illustrator Template)format.
At any point you can change your document’sdefault setup options for units of measure, transparency grid display,background color, and type settings such as language, quote style,superscript and subscript size, and exportability. The Edit Artboardsbutton closes this dialog box and activates the Artboard tool. Usethis button if you want to modify your artboards.
Choose File > Document Setup or click the Document Setup button in the Control panel (this button is visible when nothing is selected).
Note:
The Simulate Colored Paper option is useful if youplan to print the document on colored paper. For example, if youdraw a blue object on a yellow background, the object appears green.The simulation is performed only when the transparency grid is notshown.
For specific information on these options, see relatedtopics.
You can open files that were createdin Illustrator as well as compatible files that were created inother applications.
- To open an existing file, choose File > Open. Locate the file, and click Open.

We are a start-up looking to sell socks.
We need to create sock templates (designs) in Adobe Illustrator or a similar software to be used for production. We would like to be able to easily customize and adjust the colors/measurements of the designs.
We need 7 different templates. The patterns we are looking for are fairly straightforward (mostly squares, stripes, dots, etc.).
We also have some pictures that we can provide to show exactly the kinds of patterns we are looking for.
Ideally, we would like the sock designs to be able to be viewed in 3D to better understand what the final product will look like.
Just to clarify, the expertise required here is less of the actual designs (patterns and colors will be provided), but of the actual modelling of the patterns in the appropriate software with the appropriate measurements.

Thanks.
