Are you an Acrobat user and needs a complete
tool for your print or web design projects? Read
on.
A few months ago, Acrobat launched its main creative
design packages including Photoshop/ImageReady,
GoLive, InDesign and Illustrator. After a long
period of silence, it came up with a much better
package.
Adobe’s Creative Suite now comes in two
new packages, the Standard Edition and the Professional
Edition. The Standard Edition is composed of Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. This
package contains most of the print-oriented flagships.
On the other hand, Adobe GoLive and Acrobat Professional
comprise the Professional Edition, which focuses
on web design.
Basically, these packages are combinations of
the strengths each application offers. They are
integrations of tools for handling colour management,
screen display, type handling and more. They allow
cross-application, meaning any file done in one
program can be opened to the other programs as
long as the file was created on one of the programs
that comprises the packages. When a file is transferred,
all other options can be applied. For example,
when you open an Illustrator file to Photoshop,
that file will be opened as a Photoshop file.
Every creative application on the package uses
PDF file format. Not just a PDF format, they use
the latest PDF 1.5 format. PDF format allows you
to import and export directly. You can embed vector
PDFs from Illustrator and bitmap PDFs from Photoshop
in a multi-page InDesign PDF. This can also be
exported for PDF web display or repurposed via
GoLive.
Adobe Creative Suites has a new integrated file
management system, which is essential in the software’s
workflow and tight integration. Different components
and versions of a project are hard to manage,
especially when you are going to use a lot of
programs, as in workgroups. But Adobe has a solution
to this, the Version Cue. Version Cue, through
the application of Save dialog, enables you to
store all job elements and important version of
your project. The Open dialog accesses visual
thumbnails of the project file. You will also
be warned if other users are using the same file.
In other words, it provides file versioning and
management.
The packages also contain XMP or eXtensible Metadata
Platform standards. This allows you to search
for files according to related information like
keywords or authors.
Creative Suite applications are guaranteed excellent
tools to provide you with your desired result.
Think of these packages as the total of all these
applications.
