Question

New Illustrator update not showing Tabloid size in "Media Size" print option.

Hello,

Another annoying glitch/issue with new illustrator CC 2018 upgrade has is that when you want to print there is no Tabloid option anymore in the Media Size drop down menu.  We tried to add as a custom size in page set up, and despite it being named manually as "tabloid" it shows up as "other" which is annoying.  And on top of that when we entered the correct dimensions of a Tabloid page it still printed as letter size.

ILLUSTRATOR PEEPS PLEASE ADD TABLOID BACK TO PRINT MEDIA SIZE OPTIONS, YOU'RE KILLIN ME SMALLS!!!

Thanks,

Aaron

    I tried this but there is no option for Tabloid and our driver was updated yesterday. Using CC2018 on a Mac OS X High Sierra.

    As has already been stated: your printer driver might not have it.

    Do you get the option in other software?

    That list gets really long and can be annoying on some printers. Wanted to add that on Mac you can type  first character to advance to the size you need. Just do not type the 2nd character. Might work on windows also.

    Those names come from your printer driver, so yo may indeed have tabloid, just hit "T" and no other characters, and that can help.

    If the size you need is still missing, download the latest print driver for your printer and install.

    I've got "11 x 17" here in my Media Size menu.

    Assuming that's the size you need, you may need a preferences reset.
