The pillar bolts allow some up and down movement with the door and also allow you to rotate the door clockwise or counter clockwise in the opening. The door hinge bolts allow some up and down movement with the door and allow you to move the door inward or outward. When working with the door side of the hinges any movement of one axis affects the opposite side of the door, which means, if you loosen the bottom bolts in the door side of the hinge and push the bottom of the door in, the top of the door will move out because it will pivot on the top hinge. The opposite is also true but to a lesser extent because the lower hinge is closer to the bottom of the door. I always align the bottom of the door first for this reason. I also don't do any door alignment until the cab is sitting on the frame with new cab bushings installed.....
