Illustration documents Illustration documents are general-purpose documents for all types of illustrations and graphics. You can specify a custom document size, and the document can have multiple pages (called “sheets”), with multiple layers on each sheet. When the active document is an Illustration, the icons at the bottom of the window represent the document’s sheets. You can click an icon to move to that sheet. Publication documents Publication documents are designed for publications printed with two-sided (facing) pages, although you can also create a Publication that has pages with single sides. You can use master pages to hold items that you want to appear throughout the publication. You can also use multiple layers on each page. When the active document is a Publication, you can use page icons at the bottom of the window to move among the document’s pages. Presentation and Animation documents Presentation documents are designed for on-screen “slide show” pre- sentations. Animation documents are designed for creating animation files. In Presentation documents, you can use multiple layers and a master slide to hold background elements. You can use more than a dozen transition effects, including wipe and dissolve, during slide show playback. When the active document is a Presentation, you can use slide icons at the bottom of the window to easily move among the slides. An Animation document is designed for creating and editing web (GIF) animation files. An animation is composed of multiple frames, which are equivalent to the image frames of film-based animations. You can use “onion-skinning” in an Animation document. When you select onion-skinning, frames adjacent to the current frame appear in the background. This is helpful for setting up object movement in an animation. D  o  l  o  r  o  l  u  m  o  u  s
