Creative Suite offers time-saving integration, simplifi ed workfl ows, and an unprecedented value.

• Work productively thanks to tight integration. The Adobe Creative Suite gives you a complete, inte-

grated toolset that lets you create beautiful content while working effi ciently. Tight integration means that

you can switch applications without slowing down thanks to common commands, tools, and palettes. It

means that you can exchange artwork between Illustrator and Photoshop more easily than ever, and you can

quickly and easily drop native graphics and Adobe PDF fi les into InDesign and GoLive layouts. You can also

depend on such shared core technologies as the Adobe Color Engine to bring consistency and predictability

to your output, and take advantage of features that streamline your print-to-Web production workfl ows.

Tight integration means that Adobe technology helps you be more productive, which in turn lets you be

more creative.

• Simplify your workflow. The Adobe Creative Suite offers a host of features that make it easier to manage

fi les, streamline design reviews, and bridge print and Web publishing processes. The new Version Cue fi le

version manager lets you fi nd the fi les you need quickly and easily from within the familiar Adobe design

environment. Use Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Adobe PDF to exchange fi les seamlessly across platforms,

speed review cycles, prefl ight fi les for print production, and print reliable fi nal output. Finally, use scripts

and templates to automate tasks and easily create professional layouts for both print and Web pages.

• Enjoy unprecedented value. The Adobe Creative Suite is an unbeatable value. It combines the full, new

versions of the industry’s leading-edge creative tools—Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Illustrator CS, Adobe

InDesign CS, Adobe GoLive CS, and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional—with the Version Cue fi le version man-

ager. But that’s not all. The Adobe Creative Suite offers expanded support options as well as a workfl ow guide,

a video training CD, and other educational resources that show you how to use the tools together effectively.

It’s everything you need to create and publish to print and the Web—including substantial savings.

This document introduces the Adobe Creative Suite and delves into the specifi c features that allow creative

professionals to work more effi ciently: namely, those that make you more productive and simplify your work-

fl ow. It concludes with pricing and availability, a description of what comes in the box, and system require-

ments. For more detailed information about the new features in Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS,

GoLive CS, and Acrobat 6.0 Professional, please see the New Feature Highlights documents for those compo-

nents of the suite.

Work productively thanks to tight integrationIt’s never been easier to work between your Adobe applications than in the Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe has

long fostered a goal of developing creative applications that work seamlessly together, and the suite brings

such integration to a new level. From common tools, palettes, and other interface elements to native fi le

format support, shared core technologies, and streamlined print-to-Web production features, the Adobe

Creative Suite can save you time and lets you focus on what you do best: create compelling work.

Common interface elements Because the components of the suite share common commands, tools, and palettes, creative professionals can

switch between them without losing a beat. The interfaces of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, and

Acrobat 6.0 Professional are more in sync than ever before, making it easier to jump between imaging, page

layout, and Web design modes. This consistency also makes it easier to come up to speed when you learn a

new tool. Once you’re adept, customize Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign shortcuts as you desire. Adobe

integration lets you work the way you’re most comfortable—and most productive.

Commands, tools, and palettes Many tools—Selection, Hand, Eyedropper, and others—are common

across various components of the suite, while many palettes—Color, Info, and Navigator, among others—

offer the common functionality and a shared appearance. This makes it easy for both new and experienced

users to jump between the components of the suite and accomplish tasks quickly. Finally, menus and dialog

boxes are organized consistently and logically across components of the suite. For example, the Window menu

always lists available fl oating palettes, such as Layers and Swatches, while fi lter dialog boxes in Photoshop and

Illustrator offer the same settings and controls.

Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as other components of the Adobe Creative Suite, share many common or similar com-mands, tools, and palettes, such as the Tools and Color palettes shown here.

Top 5 features in the Adobe Creative Suite

Once you get the hang of the suite’s interface, you’ll want to use this command: Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Available in Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive, keyboard shortcuts let you customize

the commands you use most often, making it that much easier to be productive—and creative.

Keyboard shortcuts can be customized in Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive.

Native fi le format support Creative professionals typically start the design process in Photoshop or Illustrator, creating images or

graphics that will eventually be placed in a print or Web page layout. With the Adobe Creative Suite, native

Photoshop fi les can be imported into Illustrator, and Illustrator fi les can be placed in Photoshop. Those same

fi les can be placed directly in InDesign and GoLive layouts, and then be double-clicked to be edited in their

creation application. When deadlines loom and late-stage edits crop up, you can save time by not having to

re-save and re-import fi les. In addition, Adobe PDF fi les can be used to place art in print and Web layouts,

as well as to exchange documents reliably across platforms, to streamline reviews, and to produce fi nal print

output. (For more on how Adobe PDF and Acrobat 6.0 Professional can simplify your workfl ow, see page 10.)

Seamless import/export between Photoshop and Illustrator Export vector fi les from Illustrator CS

and open them in Photoshop CS with layers, text, slices, transparency, and image maps intact. Or save raster

fi les from Photoshop and then open or place them in Illustrator fi les. Illustrator CS can recognize and pre-

serve Photoshop text, vector shapes, and layers, making it easy to work with layered Photoshop content.

The Photoshop Options dialog box lets you specify how you want to export Photoshop fi les from Illustrator CS.

4

Import native files into InDesign and GoLive InDesign CS lets you place native Photoshop fi les in page lay-

outs. Since you don’t have to fl atten them fi rst, this reduces or eliminates the need for labor-intensive DCS- and

separation-based workfl ows, and allows more effi cient composite workfl ows instead. And InDesign CS supports

all kinds of Photoshop fi les, including multitones as well as PSD and TIFF fi les that contain spot channels. In

addition, you can also place or copy and paste native Illustrator fi les into InDesign.

Place native Photoshop and Illustrator fi les into InDesign layouts, preserving transparent effects.

If you need to make changes to an image or graphic after you’ve placed it in InDesign CS, no problem: use

the Edit Original Selection command to launch Photoshop or Illustrator and display the fi le. You don’t have

to manually fi nd the fi le on your hard drive and launch the application. Then you can edit the original, and

when you save it and switch back to InDesign, the fi le is automatically updated.

To edit a placed image or graphic in its creation application, use the Edit Original button in the Links palette in InDesign.

Working with Photoshop and Illustrator fi les in GoLive CS is equally easy. Smart Objects technology lets you

place native, layered Photoshop or Illustrator fi les right into HTML layouts in GoLive CS. GoLive automati-

cally converts the content to sliced images and HTML; it will also import Macromedia Flash (SWF) content

generated by Illustrator CS and ImageReady CS in the same way. GoLive automatically detects changes to

the source images and regenerates the Web-ready fi les—so you don’t have to manually re-export images

and code anymore.

Similar functionality is available from Acrobat 6.0 Professional, where you can use the TouchUp Object tool

to open a raster object in Photoshop or open a vector object in Illustrator. When you save the changes to the

fi le and switch back to Acrobat 6.0 Professional, it automatically updates.

5

Streamlined print-to-Web production Few creative professionals today work in a vacuum where they create print pages and only print pages.

Increasingly, traditional print designers are creating images, illustrations, and layouts that are also destined to

be published on the Web. Whether you’re doing the actual Web production or simply preparing fi les to hand

off to a Web design colleague, the Adobe Creative Suite lets you effi ciently optimize images for the Web and

package print pages for online delivery.

Package print pages for the Web After you’ve perfected your print page layouts in InDesign CS, package

them for the Web: export images and pages as Smart Objects and SmartXML: high-resolution CMYK

print-ready images can be downsampled, and style-tagged text will be saved as XML data and tracked

in GoLive CS. If changes are made to the InDesign fi le, just prepare the package again and links will be

updated throughout the GoLive site.

The Package for GoLive command in InDesign CS lets you easily prepare your print-ready content to be pub-lished on the Web.

ImageReady CS automation features New features in ImageReady CS dramatically reduce the time it

takes to prepare images for the Web. You can import data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or database

and then batch-create images automatically in one step. You can export PSD layers as images or Flash fi les,

making it dramatically easier to integrate with Flash technology. You can even generate Flash fi les that contain

variable text to enable dynamically updated pages, and use new conditional logic in actions to build smarter

automated processes.

ImageReady CS features new support for conditional actions so that you can build smarter automated processes.

Batch processing The enhanced File Browser in Photoshop CS lets you move directly from raw images to

the Web using batch commands. Build a Web photo gallery that you can use to collect client feedback and

which can be e-mailed back to you, create a multi-page Adobe PDF fi le for secure image sharing and review,

or send digital images directly to online services for ordering professional-grade printing.

6

The enhanced File Browser in Photoshop CS includes batch-processing commands, including such built-in processes as saving fi les as Adobe PDF.

Shared core technologies The Adobe Creative Suite features many shared core technologies that bring predictability to the design

process. Such shared technologies as the Adobe Color Engine, Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), Flattener

and Separation Preview palettes, and support for OpenType® fonts minimize production glitches and pro-

vide consistency across the tools that you use to create, view, and print your masterpieces.

Adobe engines The Adobe Graphics Manager and the Adobe Color Engine are two foundational technolo-

gies in the Adobe Creative Suite. The Adobe Graphics Manager allows images, graphics, and text to be dis-

played consistently in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, and Acrobat 6.0 Professional, rendering the

same smooth gradients and the same high-quality display in all of those components.

The Adobe Color Engine (ACE), meanwhile, is the heart of the color management capabilities in the Adobe

Creative Suite. Color management helps to enable the consistent and predictable display and printing of color

across software tools and hardware devices. ACE is built into Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, and

Acrobat 6.0 Professional, where you can use the Color Settings dialog box or Preferences panel to specify

whether and how you want each tool to manage color, and to synchronize color management profi les across

the tools. You can even share the settings fi les across tools. If profi les confl ict, you’re prompted to resolve the

discrepancies when you open a fi le, ensuring accuracy and consistency for you, your clients, and your service

providers.

The Color Settings dialog box or Preferences panel lets you synchronize color management policies across the components of Adobe Creative Suite.

7

XMP support XMP is an open, standards-based enabling technology that adds intelligence to fi les so that

they’re easier to fi nd, re-use, archive, and exchange. Supported by all of Adobe’s native fi le formats, includ-

ing Adobe PDF, XMP lets you capture, preserve, and share meaningful XML-based metadata across fi les and

workfl ows, opening the door for more effi cient job processing, workfl ow automation, and effi cient rights

management, among other possibilities.

XMP metadata such as title, author, subject, and keywords can be viewed or added to a fi le in the File Info

dialog boxes of Photoshop CS, ImageReady CS, Illustrator CS, and InDesign CS, or in the Document Properties

dialog box in Acrobat 6.0 Professional. In a Version Cue workfl ow, XMP fi le information is added when fi les are

saved to the Version Cue workspace. Version Cue uses the XMP fi le information to let you search for fi les.

XMP support, available through the File Info dialog box in Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, and InDesign (shown here), lets you capture and share metadata about native Adobe fi le formats, including Adobe PDF.

Flattener and separation previews Transparent effects are essential elements of many designs today, and

transparency fl attener previews in Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and Acrobat 6.0 Professional now make them

easier than ever to check before sending fi les off to the printer. The Flattener Preview palette lets you reduce

last-minute surprises when fi les are rasterized and gives you greater control over how the effects are rendered.

Use it to control the degree of fl attening applied to transparent effects and preview the results onscreen so

that you can identify any condition that may cause errors or incorrect output when the fi le is printed.

The Flattener Preview palette in Illustrator (shown here), InDesign, and Acrobat 6.0 Profes-sional lets you control and preview the degree of fl attening applied to transparent objects.

You can also preview overprints in Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and Acrobat 6.0 Professional so that you

can see how overprinting, blending, transparency settings, and aliasing inks will affect color-separated

output—for example, whether and how underlying objects show through overprinted objects—to help

ensure the successful printing of transparent effects.

8

Finally, InDesign CS and Acrobat 6.0 Professional offer a Separation Preview that allows you to view each of

the four-color (or more) plates that will be printed before you send them to your prepress partner. In fact,

you can print the separations themselves from Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and Acrobat 6.0 Professional.

The Separation Preview in InDesign CS and Acrobat 6.0 Professional (shown here) lets you see how four-color plates will be printed.

OpenType support Support for OpenType, the next-generation font specifi cation developed jointly by

Adobe and Microsoft, is built into Illustrator CS and InDesign CS; in addition, more than 100 OpenType

fonts ship with the Adobe Creative Suite, and many of them are used in the suite’s professional templates

and sample fi les. The OpenType format offers cross-platform compatibility, so the same font fi le works

on Macintosh and Windows computers, providing easier font management. OpenType fonts also support

widely expanded character sets and layout features, which provide richer linguistic support and advanced

typographic control. Text set in OpenType fonts has fewer hyphens, more even spacing, and can contain

such sophisticated characters as discretionary ligatures, old-style fi gures, and true small caps.

Support for OpenType in Illustrator CS includes the new OpenType and Glyphs palettes, which let you take advantage of the font format’s support for expanded character sets and its advanced typographic controls.

Simplify your workfl owVersion Cue is the glue that holds the components of the Adobe Creative Suite together: it keeps track of

changes and iterations of fi les, making it easier to fi nd what you need whether you work solo or as part of a

team. With Version Cue, you never have to leave the Adobe environment that you know so well: you can see

thumbnail previews in Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and GoLive CS to easily fi nd the fi le you’re

looking for, or you can search on such fi le information as author or keyword. But Version Cue isn’t the only

feature in the suite that simplifi es your workfl ow. The Adobe Creative Suite offers extensive support for the

Adobe PDF fi le format, allowing you to share fi les reliably with clients and colleagues, to conduct effi cient

project reviews, and to print high-quality fi nal output. And extras like scripts and templates automate tasks

and make it easy to prepare your content for both print and Web output.

Effi cient fi le management Version Cue tracks fi les for individuals as well as workgroups when you save them from Photoshop CS,

Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, or GoLive CS. You never have to leave the familiar interface of those Adobe tools,

and yet the most up-to-date fi le is always at your fi ngertips. Whether you’re looking for the most recent itera-

tion of a logo for a brochure or searching for an older version so that you can update a client’s presentation,

Version Cue can save you from wasting hours on frustrating hunts for fi les, freeing you up to be creative.

Intuitive file management Version Cue saves all fi les in a workspace that you can access when you open and save

fi les from within Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and GoLive CS. Need to fi nd or share a fi le? Access

the workspace by clicking on the My Projects button inside the Open dialog box to see thumbnail previews of all

of your project fi les, complete with such fi le information as version comments and previous authors. Or click over

to the Search tab to quickly fi nd a fi le based on such information as version comments, date, author, and keyword.

Browse thumbnail previews of fi les available to you in the Version Cue workspace by clicking on the My Projects button in the Open dialog boxes in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive.

After you make the necessary changes to the fi le, just use the Save a Version command to save it back to the

workspace, along with any comments you may want to add to make it easier for you or others to fi nd the

right fi le later. It’s that simple. There are no extra steps, no extra applications. Version Cue lets you work the

way you always have but brings an end to the hassles of devising fi le-naming conventions and to frustrating

browsing across hard drives, networked servers, and FTP sites.

Choose File > Save a Version to save fi les back to the Version Cue workspace, adding any relevent comments, such as a description of the edits that you made.

10

Local file serving If you work as part of a team, share projects from your desktop and provide colleagues

with easy access to fi les, so you can collaborate more effi ciently and work more productively. Because Version

Cue is a natural extension to your everyday authoring tools, you don’t have to deal with scripts, customized

databases, fi le servers, or other complex, high-end, fi le-management solutions that are expensive to confi gure

and to maintain, and diffi cult to use.

Trusted file-sharing Version Cue is a trusted fi le-sharing environment. It saves all fi les in a single work-

space and makes them available to everyone in a workgroup or team. When you access a fi le, a working copy

is stored on your hard drive until you save a version back to the workspace. Permissions can be set to provide

restrictions if needed. If someone else opens the fi le you’re using, Version Cue guides users to minimize edit-

ing confl icts and to preserve all versions of the fi le. This helps groups collaborate more effi ciently and ensures

that everyone uses the correct versions of fi les.

If someone in the workgroup opens a fi le that’s already in use, Version Cue displays an “in use” message in the title bar (left) and guides them to minimize editing confl icts (right).

Dependable Adobe PDF documentsThe Adobe Creative Suite supports a complete Adobe PDF workfl ow, bringing a wealth of productivity ben-

efi ts to creative professionals. Adobe PDF fi les preserve the visual integrity of your designs, including images,

graphics, and type, so that they can be shared across platforms and printed reliably. You can export Adobe

PDF fi les from all of the components of the suite, place them in InDesign and GoLive layouts, and embed

multimedia content, including Flash format, in them. Adobe PDF is a ubiquitous format in the Adobe

Creative Suite, giving you tremendous fl exibility, reliability, and control as you create content, review it, and

output it. You can even optimize Adobe PDF fi les for online delivery and take advantage of such features as

prefl ighting and PDF/X compliance to streamline print production processes and ensure high-quality fi nal

printed pages.

Ubiquitous Adobe PDF support You can export or save Adobe PDF fi les from any component of the

Adobe Creative Suite—Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, InDesign, or GoLive—or you can create them

using Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Robust settings let you control image compression, embed fonts and subsets,

apply security, preserve printer’s marks and bleeds, and much more. You can even preserve transparency and

layers in Adobe PDF fi les that are exported from Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, and InDesign CS.

11

Save or export Adobe PDF fi les from Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive. When you do so, you can control everything from the amount of image compression you want to apply to whether and which printer’s marks to include.

While Adobe PDF fi les can be opened by anyone with the free Adobe Reader,® they can also be opened as

editable raster fi les in Photoshop CS or as editable vector fi les Illustrator CS. You can even open Adobe PDF

fi les in GoLive CS, so you can preview a site’s Adobe PDF content without having to launch Acrobat. You can

place Adobe PDF fi les exported from Photoshop or Illustrator into InDesign layouts, and into GoLive designs

as Smart Objects. Support for layers means that you can do things like use layers to organize your work in

Illustrator or InDesign, exploring various design options, export the fi les and keep those layers intact, and

then let your clients view and hide those layers in an Adobe PDF fi le, making reviews much more effi cient.

(For more on using Acrobat 6.0 Professional for effi cient project reviews, see page 13.)

Optimize Adobe PDF As most designers today know, pages designed for print require high-quality, high-

resolution images and graphics. But if those same pages are going to be posted on a Web site, forget it: they

need to be much smaller so that they can be downloaded quickly. That’s why the Adobe Creative Suite gives

you the capability to optimize Adobe PDF fi les for the Web if they were originally created for print. Open

any Adobe PDF fi le in Acrobat 6.0 Professional and re-distill it using the Smallest File Size setting. Or use the

Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer command to downsample images, apply greater ZIP and JPEG compres-

sion, change font embedding settings, fl atten layers, and much more to make print-ready fi les more compact.

You can also use the optimizer to remove unnecessary objects and to save your Adobe PDF fi les to an earlier

version of Acrobat, for backward compatibility.

The PDF Optimizer command in Acrobat 6.0 Professional lets you prepare Adobe PDF fi les for the Web by down-sampling images, enabling byte serving (“Optimize the PDF for fast web view”), and much more.

12

GoLive CS offers similar functionality, allowing you to optimize HTML fi les as Adobe PDF, reducing fi le size,

recompressing images, and enabling byte-serving for effi cient online delivery.

Reliable printing Save time and reduce late-stage errors at the printer by sending Adobe PDF fi les to your ser-

vice provider for fi nal output. Use Acrobat 6.0 Professional to print high-quality composite proofs and to create

host-based or in-RIP separations. You can also generate industry-standard PDF/X fi les directly from InDesign

and Acrobat 6.0 Professional that your service providers and prepress partners will be able to print reliably.

Acrobat 6.0 Professional offers many advanced print controls to ensure high-quality, reliable composite or separated output.

In addition, Acrobat 6.0 Professional’s built-in prefl ighting tools let you easily examine Adobe PDF docu-

ments before you send them off to help ensure a smooth production process. You can check for PDF/X

compliance and PostScript-level compatibility, among other things, and you can embed prefl ight informa-

tion into the Adobe PDF fi le itself, letting you effi ciently communicate critical information about the fi les

to printers and service providers.

Prefl ight Adobe PDF fi les in Acrobat 6.0 Professional before you send them to the printer to ensure that they will RIP smoothly. Choose from several predefi ned prefl ight profi les, such as the one that checks for PDF/X-1a compliance (left), and then view a report that describes potential problems with the fi le (right) and correct them before you send off the fi nal fi le.

13

Effi cient project reviews Whether you’re proofi ng print or Web pages, Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Adobe PDF accelerate project reviews.

E-mail Adobe PDF fi les to colleagues and clients from Acrobat 6.0 Professional—you don’t have to pay for courier

costs, you don’t have to wait for overnight delivery. Then reviewers can use Acrobat’s robust electronic com-

menting tools to mark up documents, reducing errors caused by lost sticky notes, illegible handwriting, and so

on. Acrobat 6.0 Professional’s review-management tools make it easy to manage, sort, and incorporate feedback,

improving accountability and helping you meet tight deadlines without sacrifi cing quality. Finally, you can even

accelerate Web project reviews by converting HTML pages into Adobe PDF fi les from GoLive CS.

E-mail files for review One of the best ways to initiate Adobe PDF reviews is to e-mail the fi les from

Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Using the Send by Email for Review command launches your default e-mail appli-

cation, attaches the Adobe PDF fi le, and provides reviewers detailed instructions on how to comment on the

fi le; a how-to pane also helps reviewers through every step of the process of marking up the fi le. Then

they can click Send from within Acrobat 6.0 Professional or Standard to e-mail the marked-up proof back

to you, saving you the inconveniences of printing and mailing proofs to clients overnight.

Send Adobe PDF fi les to clients and colleagues for review by choosing the Send by Email for Review command in Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Then you can track feedback using Acrobat’s review-management features.

Conduct electronic reviews With Acrobat 6.0 Professional, it’s easier than ever to provide and incorporate

feedback during the review process. You can do everything from create custom stamps to easily view, sort, and

fi lter comments. You can even indicate text corrections such as insertions, deletions, and replacement text with a

single click. Acrobat 6.0 Professional lets you format, reply to, and spell-check comments, as well as import com-

ments or create comment summary pages. With Acrobat 6.0 Professional, you can easily integrate comments

into a single Adobe PDF fi le—a more effi cient and accurate way to reconcile comments from multiple review-

ers than traditional, paper-based review processes. All of these features make the review process run far more

smoothly for you and your clients.

14

Intuitive electronic commenting tools in Acrobat 6.0 Professional streamline Adobe PDF-based review cycles; a How To pane provides step-by-step guidance on marking up fi les.

Export Adobe PDF from GoLive Among the many new features in GoLive CS that beef up support for

Adobe PDF is the capability to convert HTML Web pages to Adobe PDF fi les, fully linked and scaled to the

appropriate design size. Those Adobe PDF fi les can then be sent out for review, making it easy for clients to

proof Web pages in Acrobat, instead of having to manage multiple HTML, GIF, and JPEG fi les.

Other simplifying extrasProfessional templates and built-in scripts give creative professionals a leg up on the design process, especially

when it comes to automating tasks and bridging print and Web design layouts. The professional templates in

the Adobe Creative Suite, for everything from presentations to postcards to coordinated corporate stationary

and Web sites, will inspire your creativity, while the robust scripts included with the suite will keep you work-

ing productively.

Templates and scripts The Adobe Creative Suite comes with numerous professional templates and pro-

ductivity enhancing scripts to help you make the most of the tools at hand. You can use templates as is, or

customize any or all of the elements in the designs to your heart’s content.

Scripts, meanwhile, let you automate such functions as saving comments from layer comps as metadata in

Photoshop fi les, which will make it easier to search for the fi le later. AppleScript and Visual Basic allow you to

connect applications to databases and other tools so that you can automate tasks across components of the

suite, while JavaScript support lets you create scripts that enhance productivity across platforms.

Enjoy unprecedented valueLet’s face it. Budgets are tight, and good deals are hard to come by. But the Adobe Creative Suite isn’t just a

good deal, it’s a great one. The Adobe Creative Suite offers everything you need to create image composi-

tions, cutting-edge graphics, stunning print page designs, and vibrant Web sites, all while helping you work

more productively. Such components as the Version Cue fi le version manager and a collection of educational

Preview and convert HTML Web pages to Adobe PDF fi les, fully linked and scaled to the appropriate design size, in GoLive CS.
