Create mobile content with Adobe
Device Central and Illustrator
Start Illustrator.
Select File > New.
In New Document Profile, select Mobile and Devices.
Click Device Central to close the dialog box in Illustrator
and open Device Central.
Select a content type.
The available Devices list on the left is updated
and shows the devices that support the content type selected.
In Device Central, select a device, several devices,
or a device set.
Based on the device(s) selected and content type,
Device Central suggests one or multiple artboard sizes to be created.
To create one document at a time, select a suggested document size
(or select the Custom Size for all selected Devices option and enter
custom values for Width and Height).
Click Create.
A blank AI file of the specified size opens in Illustrator.
The new file has the following parameters set by default:
Color Mode: RGB
Raster Resolution: 72 ppi
Fill the blank AI file with content in Illustrator.
When you finish, select File > Save For Web
& Devices.
In the Save for Web & Devices dialog, select the
desired format and change other export settings as desired.
Click Device Central.
A temporary file with the export settings specified
is displayed in the Device Central Emulator tab. To continue testing,
double-click the name of a different device in the Device Sets or
Available Devices lists.
If, after previewing the file in Device Central, you
need to make changes to the file, go back to Illustrator.
On the Illustrator Save for Web & Devices dialog,
make adjustments such as selecting a different format or quality
for export.
To test the file again with the new export settings,
click the Device Central button.
When you are satisfied with the results, click Save in
the Illustrator Save for Web & Devices dialog.
Note: To simply open Device Central from Illustrator (instead
of creating and testing a file), select File > Device
Central.
