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.)
