Introduction
This is what we'll master in this episode. Undoing mistakes with Ctrl Z, understanding the difference between save and export, then saving one design as an editable PDF, SVG for the web, and high-resolution PNG. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. This episode concludes the basic module. We learn important habits. Undoing when you make a mistake, saving your work file, and exporting results for use in other applications.
Step 1: Creating a star sticker
Create a new document 512 pixels square. Select the Start Tool then drag from the center of the artboard to create a star. Give it a yellow color via the Swatches panel.
Step 2: Undo and Redo
Suppose we accidentally changed the star's color to blue. Press Ctrl Z to undo, the color returns to yellow.
Undo and Redo
Press Ctrl Shift Z to redo, repeating the undone step. Illustrator saves hundreds of your steps.
Step 3: The AS and file format
Press Ctrl Shift Z for Save S. The default format is Adobe Illustrator with the AI extension.

Illustrator #7: Undo, Save File, and First Export: AI, PDF, SVG, PNG
the PDF file remains fully openable and editable in Illustrator, as well as openable in other applications. Save saves the complete work file with layers and passes that can be edited. Export creates a copy for other purposes, such as PNG images for social media or SVG for websites. The work file must always be saved, Exported results can be recreated anytime.
At 5: High-resolution PNG
Select File, Export, Export Selection. Choose PNG format and check Use Artboard. In the PNG Options window, select a higher resolution to ensure sharp images, and choose transparent background color if you want a transparent background.
Step 6: Export to SVG for the Web
Export again, this time choose SVG format. SVG is a vector format for the web, stays sharp on any screen and has a small file size.
AI, SVG for Web
In SVG Options, leave styling presentation attributes and images embedded, then click OK. Done. We have used undo and redo, saved the file as an editable PDF, understood the difference between save and export, and exported high-resolution PNG and SVG.
