Creative Suite CS3.3 Design Standard Student - Retail Boxed (Mac)

Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Standard software offers essential tools for professional design and print production in a unified creative environment. Productivity enhancements and tighter integration simplify tasks, helping you work more efficiently than ever before. And new creative features enable you to more freely experiment: Apply new creative effects in Adobe InDesign; explore, apply, and control colour variations using Live Color in Adobe Illustrator; and enjoy easier selection of image areas in Adobe Photoshop.

Features:

• Preview, preflight, correct, and prepare PDF files for print - Control costs, reduce errors, and deliver premium customer service using extensive preflight and print production features that are now better than ever in Acrobat 9 Pro. Provide preflighting instructions and custom PDF export presets to ensure that your PDF files conform to specific production requirements. Then automatically validate files and easily fix issues from faulty hairlines to transparency handling, black conversion, spot colour mapping, and more
• Access metadata using the Object Inspector - Get the full details about an object with the new Object Inspector, which displays metadata for any object you select
• Manage accurate conversions from RGB to black - Convert colour on any object type, in any colour space, using profiles that you choose. Preserve black, promote gray to CMYK Black, and convert from one colour system to another accurately - for example, switch from Euroscale CMYK directly to Japan CMYK for text, images, line art, or smooth shades
• Work with built-in Pantone colour libraries - Pantone libraries are now part of Acrobat 9 Pro. Make use of a Pantone colour library when converting spot colours, or map to Pantone colours through preflight checks and fixes
• View how elements interact with Overprint Preview - Easily and reliably preview how overlapping elements will display and print using automatic, intelligent Overprint Preview in Acrobat 9 Pro or Adobe Reader 9. Both products detect whether a selected page contains overlapping elements and then toggle Overprint Preview on or off accordingly. An easy-to-see icon indicates whether the preview is on or off
• Detect differences between document versions - Quickly detect differences between two versions of a document, including PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, CAD, and even scanned documents. A new Compare Documents interface makes it quick and easy to compare either entire documents or bookmarked sections. View thumbnails indicating all changes on every page. Select the types of changes you want to display or ignore, including text formatting, images, line weights, and backgrounds
• Verify that documents comply with industry standards - Create and validate PDF files that comply with a host of the latest industry standards, including PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, PDF/X-4p, PDF/X-5, PDF/A, PDF/E, Job Definition Format (JDF), XMP metadata, and XML. Automate file creation and validation while helping to ensure correct print output using JDF and an Adobe PDF workflow. A built-in, portable verification record enables you to check document standards compliance at any time
• Experience improved layer controls - Import any PDF file as a new layer into an existing PDF file, dynamically create layers within PDF files according to the PDF/X-4 specification, and preflight to move text, images, or vector artwork to individual layers
• Work with consistent print dialog boxes - Enjoy smoother cross-platform print functionality. The print dialog boxes in Acrobat 9 Pro are now consistent between Mac OS and Windows
• Enjoy end-to-end PDF workflows - Integrate Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with the Adobe PDF Print Engine, a native PDF printing platform available in high-end output systems from industry-leading printer manufacturers. Preserve PDF content natively throughout the workflow for more consistent results and improved print productivity and profitability
• Automate JDF workflows - Define, control, and automate the print production workflow using industry-standard JDF files. JDF files are electronic job tickets that travel with PDF files to define and automate the application of printing specifications. For example, automatically convert InDesign files to Adobe PDF and preflight and validate them against the output intent using JDF-based workflows
