In Adobe Illustrator Creative Suite 6, the page itself is referred to as the artboard. Illustrator allows you to create multiple artboards in one document. To create a document with multiple artboards, follow these steps:
1Launch Adobe Illustrator CS6 and choose File→New.
The New Document dialog box appears.
2Specify the number of artboards to start with by entering a number in the Number of Artboards text box.
In this example, there are four artboards.

3To specify how to arrange the artboard, click a grid or row arrangement icon to the right of the Number of Artboards text box.
Using these grid boxes, you can specify how many rows and columns to use and change the direction of the layout from left to right or right to left.
4Enter an amount in the Spacing text box to determine the distance between artboards.
Enter 0 (zero) if you want the artboards to butt against each other, or a higher value if you want some space between them.
The purpose of this script is to rotate your artboard and its contents. It supports rotating in 90 degree increments, either clockwise (L) or counter-clockwise (R). It supports multiple layers, but is not designed for use with multiple artboards.
Note: The current release is extremely buggy. It works (sometimes!) for very simple graphics. However, there are two significant bugs: (1) It will sometimes scatter objects during the rotation of the artboard; this happens quite often with more complex artwork, and occasionally with artwork that seems simple. (2) It will sometimes rotate the artboard 180 degrees instead of 90.

Usage:
- Install the scripts in your Adobe Illustrator scripts folder. On the Mac, this is in the application folder, then Presets > (language) > Scripts. Restart Illustrator.
- Choose the scripts from the File menu > Scripts. 'RotateArtboard-90L' rotates 90 degrees left (90° counter-clockwise). 'RotateArtboard-90R' rotates 90 degrees right (90° clockwise).
