I have a monitor with 109 ppi resolution, and I`ve already set this resolution in photoshop and acrobat preferences, but i can`t find where in illustrator cs5 it can be set up, so i would be able to preview my artworks in correct actual print size.

      I had trouble with this until I clicked Pixel Preview

      Maybe that's all some people finding this page actually need.

        I`am sure that there is a way to set screen resolution for correct ZOOM TO ACRUAL SIZE inside the ILLUSTRATOR CS5 preferences.

        On the screenshot below there is an example, how it is done in photoshop:

        My problem is that I can`t find where screen resolution is set in ILLUSTRATOR preferences.

        I'm sorry Monika. it's the first time I post in this forum and I'm learning how to use it. Sorry.


        No need for excuses, it's just that the solution is already there.

        109/72 = 151.3%     To get the screen view to be at print size set it to 151%.

        It's not an Illie thing. Go to System Preferences > Displays and change your screen resolution.

        (I hope you weren't fiddling with Document Raster Effects Settings. They control raster output, not screen resolution.)
