How does Pathfinder works on an overlap objects using illustrator

Apply Pathfinder effects

Pathfinder effects let you generate innovative shapes out of overlap objects. be relevant Pathfinder effects by using the Effects menu or the Pathfinder panel.

• Pathfinder effects in the Effects menu can only be useful to groups, layers, and text objects. After you concern the effect, you can at rest choose and edit the original substance. You can also use the exterior panel to modify or remove the effect. See Apply a Pathfinder effect using the Effects menu

• Pathfinder effects in the Pathfinder panel can be practical to any combination of objects, groups, and layers. The final shape combination is created when you click a pathfinder button; after that, you can't edit the original objects. If the effect results in several objects, they are repeatedly grouped together. See Apply a Pathfinder effect using the Pathfinder panel.

Here is the main object we are going to use for applying pathfinder-

Here we apply pathfinder and initiate to which works as how- 

Unite

When all the outline of object trace together at a time and merged at once it create unite option. The resulting figure takes on the paint attributes of the top object.

Minus front

Minus front is use to subtract front most area of an object from the backmost area of an object. Another use is to command delete areas of an illustration by adjusting the stacking order.

Intersect

Trace all the outline of the object already overlapped together at a time

Exclude

Traces all no overlapping an objects, and creates overlapping areas transparent. Where an even number of objects overlap, the overlap becomes apparent. where an odd number of objects overlap, the overlap becomes full.

Divide

Separate a portion of artwork into its component-filled face (a face is an area undivided by a line segment). Note: When you use the divide button in the Pathfinder panel, you can use the Direct Selection or Group Selection tool to influence the resulting faces autonomously of each other. You can also decide to erase or protect unfilled objects when apply the Divide command.

Trim

When a filled object that is hidden and Removes the part of it then it refers Trim. Remove any strokes and doesn't combine objects of the similar color.

Merge

Merge is another important option of pathfinder. Merges the overlapping objects full with the matching colors.

Crop

Deletes all the parts of the artwork that drop outside the boundary of the topmost object that is topmost. It can also able to remove any strokes

Outline

Divide an object into its section line segments, or edges. This command is helpful for prepare artwork that needs a entrap for overprinting objects. When you employ the Outline button in the Pathfinder panel, you can use the Direct Selection or Group Selection tool to influence each edge autonomously. You can also prefer to delete or preserve unfilled objects when applying the Outline command.

Minus Back

Subtracts the objects in back from the front most area of an object. You can employ this command to delete area of an illustration by adjust the stack order
