[MUSIC]

2
00:00:04,681 --> 00:00:09,160
In this video we will save out
our illustrator file as a PDF.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,770
This is a great way to deliver
your designs to your clients.

4
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:18,770
PDF's work on almost any computer and
generally have a much smaller file size.

5
00:00:18,770 --> 00:00:22,830
And for our purposes,
I have deleted the guide layer already.

6
00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:24,420
You can see here in my layers panel.

7
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,620
Just to make sure that none
of that is going to appear

8
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:30,380
in this final PDF I'm creating.

9
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:34,038
To save as a PDF, we'll go to File,

10
00:00:34,038 --> 00:00:38,640
Save As,
I'll be saving it as my Finished Mock Up.

11
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:40,620
On my desktop.

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,000
For the format,
we have some different choices.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,980
You wanna choose Adobe PDF.

14
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:52,180
And we have a choice to do all or
a range, so

15
00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:55,460
we could just do our mobile or
desktop art board if we wanted.

16
00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:58,300
But in this case we do wanna do both,
so I'm gonna hit all.

17
00:00:58,300 --> 00:00:59,820
And then I'll hit save.

18
00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:05,250
And this brings up our
Save Adobe PDF dialog box and

19
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:08,760
within this,
you can see that we do have other options.

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,610
For our purposes,
I'm going to do something

21
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:16,930
to really reduce our file size, but
it doesn't take a lot of extra work.

22
00:01:16,930 --> 00:01:21,240
So, here at the top, under Options,
and I'm going to just stick with this

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,560
illustrator default for
my Adobe PDF preset.

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,420
And then here in our options
dialogue box let's uncheck

25
00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:32,000
Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities.

26
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:38,050
Basically with this check it leaves
all of your layers in illustrator so

27
00:01:38,050 --> 00:01:42,850
that you can still edit it, much like you
would a regular Adobe Illustrator file.

28
00:01:42,850 --> 00:01:47,200
So by unchecking this, it flattens it
all for you, and that's pretty much it.

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,930
It's pretty simple.

30
00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:53,590
So save PDF, and it's like,
are you sure that you want to lose that?

31
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:55,190
I'm like, yep.

32
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:56,310
So let's go check it out.

33
00:01:56,310 --> 00:02:01,100
I'm gonna hop over to my Finder,
and here it is.

34
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,910
It's 4 MB, and open it up.

35
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:04,950
It's two pages.

36
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:08,580
You can see we have really nice quality,
which is awesome.

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,490
And as I scroll down the first page is
my mobile and the second page is my web.

38
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:16,630
I'll zoom out a little bit.

39
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:17,788
So you guys can see.

40
00:02:17,788 --> 00:02:21,269
So it's great.

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,830
And now I could just send this
over to my client by email,

42
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:29,670
or Dropbox, and it's really simple for
them to get to.
