To change the document orientation from portrait to landscape, which steps are recommended?

• A. Open the Properties Panel, Beneath Artboards click the landscape option.
• B. File > New
• C. Edit > Preferences > Orientation
• D. View > Orientation > Landscape

Answer: (A)

Changing the document’s orientation is about adjusting the artboard so it’s wider than tall. In Illustrator, you do this by selecting the artboard (or using the Artboard Tool) and then in the Properties panel, under the Artboards options, click Landscape. This directly changes the canvas shape to be landscape, which is the quickest and most reliable way to set up an existing document for landscape without creating a new file. Creating a new document would start with a default orientation, and other menu paths aren’t used to switch an open document’s orientation.
