Illustrator is an industry-standard vector graphics software widely used by designers in various fields – digital graphics, illustration, and printing – to develop all kinds of multimedia resources: printed materials, web content, interactive media, videos, and mobile applications.
Among the best features are:
• Improved vector tools. Use accurate and efficient project creation tools. Create expressive vector graphics for virtually any media source. Experiment freely and express your creativity with complex shapes, color, complex effects and expressive typography using precise shape tools, natural custom brushes and advanced path controls.
• Integration with other Adobe solutions. Easily convert print-to-web and mobile projects with tight integration of industry-leading Adobe solutions such as Photoshop, InDesign®, After Effects®, Acrobat® and more.
• Adobe Mercury Performance System. Accurate, fast, and incredibly reliable tools handle large, complex files with native support for 64-bit Mac OS and Windows® operating systems, memory optimization, and system-wide performance.
• Using multiple artboards. Organize and view up to 100 artboards of various sizes, cascading or in a grid. Easily add, remove, rename, and rearrange areas. Save, export and print artboards individually or together.
• Gradients and transparency. Work with gradients directly on the object, set the size of elliptical gradients, adjust colors and adjust opacity settings. You can even create gradients for strokes and meshes.
• Clarity of contours in projects for web applications and mobile devices. Creation of vector objects, located exactly on the pixel grid, for the preparation of bitmap illustrations with well-defined edges of the contours. Use text smoothing options for individual frames.
• Image tracing. Easily and quickly convert bitmaps to editable vectors thanks to an efficient tracing engine. Accurate lines, sharp fit and reliable results with simple, intuitive controls.
• Drawing in perspective. Use perspective grids to create accurate figures and scenes in 1-, 2-, or 3-point linear perspective.
• Creation of patterns. Easily create separable vector patterns. Experiment freely with different types of repeating patterns that can be edited at any time to create the most flexible layouts.
• Editing the design from the palette. Edit object properties directly in the Appearance panel. This eliminates the need to open palettes associated with fills, strokes, and effects.
• Industry standard graphic file formats. Work with virtually all graphic file formats, including PDF, EPS, FXG, Photoshop (PSD), TIFF, GIF, JPEG, SWF, SVG, DWG, DXF, and more.
• Tools for creating Adobe PDF files. Create secure, multi-page PDFs with expressive graphics while preserving Illustrator layers. Transfer files with any service provider thanks to support for PDF/X standards.
