Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with Adobe Acrobat 9

Press Release:
Adobe today announced that Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, and Master Collection editions are available immediately for creative professionals.

Creative Suite 3.3 incorporates Acrobat 9 Pro, bringing together the power, reach, and richness of the Adobe PDF and Adobe Flash formats and introducing numerous enhancements to print production workflows. Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Premium also bundles Adobe Fireworks CS3 software as a special offering for designers who need to rapidly prototype Web sites and Web applications.

In the UK, CS3.3 Design Premium is now offered to market at 10 per cent discount compared to CS3 Design Premium. The discount applies to full product and upgrades from point to full Design Premium. Plus customers can claim a bonus of 7-hour Total Training DVD (Adobe CS3 Design Workflow).

By using Acrobat 9 Pro software in Creative Suite 3.3, creative professionals can combine diverse documents, video, audio, and other file types into easy-to-distribute PDF Portfolios, complete with customisable interactive navigation. Thanks to new native support for the Adobe Flash format, PDF files can now incorporate and smoothly play back video, audio, and application files created in Adobe Flash for richer and more engaging experiences.

With the enhanced Overprint Preview feature, print professionals can view accurate interactions between overlapping objects on-screen. Overprint Preview automatically toggles on by default when it detects overprinting in PDF/X files or if the user sets a preference to detect overprinting in any PDF. Print professionals can also reliably convert RGB and CMYK to black or to different colour spaces.

Additionally, Acrobat 9 Pro lets designers collaborate on documents more effectively and efficiently. Design professionals can now, literally, get their clients on the same page easily using Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat.com, Adobe’s new set of hosted services.

Adobe Fireworks CS3 includes a common library of pre-built assets for rapidly prototyping Web sites, enables easy creation of Web graphics, and allows seamless integration with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dreamweaver, and Adobe Flash.
