I'm printing a letter size document from illustrator at 50% size. All pages have a white background so I would like to have the document print with a black rule/ border around it so I can tell what it will look like. Is there a way to do this without manually putting a rule around all 25 existing artboards? Or is there a way to do this in the Acrobat pdf I'm outputting from this doc?(CS5) - many thanks!

Correct answer DrStrik9

I know of nothing simpler than drawing a box around your artwork to accomplsh what you want. At 50% size, you can select the Rectangle Tool and just click on the page, then input your size (5.5" x 4-1/4"), and manually place the new box around each letterhead design. Should only take a few minutes to do all 25.
