Cannot print on 11 x 17 paper from one program.

I cannot print on 11 x 17 paper when trying to print something from Adobe Illustrator. Even when I go to "Page Setup" and select the "Tabloid" option, it still prints on 8.5 x 11 paper causing the images to be cut off. I checked the "Summary" and it states that it will be printed on 11 x 17 paper. I can't figure out the issue. All other programs have allowed me to print on this size. Is this a problem with the printer setup or the program?

I like to work with graphics

1. Run a full anti-virus scan. If possible, tell it to run the scan while the computer is booting up. Afterwards, try opening the program again. If it fails, try Step 2.
2. Go to Control Panel/Programs and features. Locate the list of installed programs and scroll down to Adobe. Click on Adobe and there should be an option to Repair or Uninstall. Choose Repair, if available. Otherwise, uninstall then re-install the software. (Sometimes, Windows Update is known to "break" an installed program; sad, but true).

I use CS2 regularly and today, it freezes when I try to "open" or "place" files. I can't even minimize the page. Any ideas?

Double click on My Computer on your desktop and open C:>Documents and Settings > User >Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS2 Settings. (Your version of Illustrator will be in the foldr name.) Inside this folder is a file called AIPrefs. Drag this file to the trash, and restart Illustrator. Reset any custom preferences you want, and when you close Illustrator the preferences file will be regenerated.

You can also reset Illustrator's preferences by holding down Shift + Control + Alt while launching the program. If you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the Adobe Illustrator settings folder, click yes to proceed. Restart Illustrator. Reset any custom preferences you want, and when you close Illustrator the preferences file will be regenerated.

I am trying to download adobe illustrations but i do not know how can you please help me

Your question is a little confusing since you're saying "Illustrations" as opposed to "illustrator".

The name of the program is Adobe Illustrator. So I'll assume you want to download the program and not the art "illustrations" created by the program.

Go to this URL:

http://www.adobe.com/downloads

Look for the [ Ai ] icon and hover your mouse over it.

Choose either TRY or BUY

If you choose TRY that means the program will eventually stop running after a set period of time unless you buy the software.

Assuming you chose TRY, the next screen will ask you to create an account. This just asks for your email address and user name etc. Create the account and follow the instructions to download.
