How Do I Create Multiple Pages in an Adobe Illustrator Document?
When you work on a project with Adobe Illustrator, a graphics application, you might need to have multiple pages in a document. For example, you could be working on a cereal box design and you want to create the front and the back of the cereal box in the same file. In Adobe Illustrator, pages are referred to as "artboards." You can create a new document with a specific number of artboards or add artboards to an existing document.
