This guide will show you how to easily create a table in Adobe Illustrator.
Steps
Select the Rectangle Tool by clicking in the Tool Palette.
Click and drag within the workspace to create a rectangle of your desired size. (Later, you can resize this rectangle using the Scale Tool).
While the rectangle you just drew is still selected, go to the 'Object' menu, scroll down to 'Path', and then choose 'Split Into Grid…' from the dropdown. Avoid clicking on any text outside the rectangle, as the desired option will not appear, making this step impossible to complete.
Set up your table. Check the 'Preview' box (to view the results of each setting you change), and then adjust the number of Rows & Columns to your preference. To remove the space between the cells of the table, set the 'Gutter' value to '0'.
Your table will now be created. You can customize the color, borders, or add text to each cell.
- Click on the edge of each cell using the Selection Tool to change its color or border by using the Swatches panel.
