Reply To: 2 pasteboards?

There is always a pasteboard. But—if it’s disappearing on your document, make sure you have “normal view” on, and not “preview,” “bleed,” or “slug.”

If the designer did increase the slug area, you can change that by doing to document set up. Check under the “bleed and slug” options.

If you want a smaller pasteboard, you can go to the preferences and adjust the horizontal pasteboard measurement (under Guides and Pasteboard).
