A client requested a new design for business cards that also have a protective paper sleeve like these: http://www.envelopes.com/business/open-end/credit-card-sleeve-envelopes Since i've never done this before, i thought it would be good to ask first, what dimensions should the business card be in order to fit exactly ...
I have read that the default workspace size is about 227". This is much to large for me as I am working with Letter (8.5 x 11) documents. The effect of this is that the scrollbar is very small And any movement is greatly exaggerated. How can I adjust the workspace to a smaller size?
