Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Upsell from Creative Suite 1 or 2 (intro price) [Mac]

Achieve high-quality production at every step in every medium
Creative vision is one part of the success equation; high-quality execution of that vision is the other. Design Premium offers a range of powerful preflight, preview, testing, and correction tools to help you achieve precise control over your finished product, catching mistakes as they occur rather than at the last minute, when it can be costly and time-consuming to correct them.

In InDesign, a new Preflight panel provides continuous, real-time, comprehensive error checking and notification so that you can detect, locate, and fix problems on the fly directly in the layout. No more discovering just when you're about to go on press that a thorny production problem on one page means reflowing text on all the rest. In Illustrator, a new Separations preview panel prevents output surprises such as unexpected spot colors; missed, unwanted, or white overprinting; and CMYK blacks in text and placed files.

In Dreamweaver, too, you can deliver an error-free final product in less time. Live View previews your pages under real-world browser conditions while still giving you direct access to the code, and improved JavaScript debugging helps you deliver flawless code the first time around. Acrobat 9 Pro also includes numerous enhancements that make preflighting more powerful and convenient, including support for new PDF/X standards; new checks and fixups; and refinements to the Preflight panel that make it easier to find, select, and organize profiles, checks, and fixups. A new option in the Output Preview panel allows you to click on any object to view metadata and information about images, text, graphics, and object stacking order. And for mobile content, as you've already learned, Device Central offers automated testing using an extensive, automatically updated selection of device profiles.

Discover power, depth, and ease at your fingertips
Professional design just keeps getting more fast-paced, demanding, and competitive. To maintain your edge (and your equilibrium), you need design tools so well crafted that you never have to think about them--they're there when and where you need them and they do exactly what you expect, so you can remain absorbed in the creative process. To allow you to work smoothly and swiftly within components and to move effortlessly among them, Design Premium offers several elegant, cross-component interface enhancements, including N-up view, an application bar, an application frame, and tabbed documents, and task-based workspaces.

In addition to harnessing shared interface enhancements, individual components offer further refinements that make commonly used tools easier to find the first--or the umpteenth--time you use them. For example, new easy access to on-object and on-artboard controls in Illustrator let you focus on your artwork, not on searching for panels and options.

Acrobat.com
Use Acrobat.com services with Acrobat to store and share large documents, collect form data, and review documents with anyone, anywhere.

To share your screen with colleagues and clients, choose File > Share My Screen from Adobe CS4 components, such as Photoshop CS4 Extended or Flash CS4 Professional, or choose File > Collaborate > Share My Screen from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Guests can then see your desktop on their screens as you work. You can exchange ideas using the chat pod, add a live video or audio feed, or use the Whiteboard feature to enable guests to comment on content.

You can even temporarily hand over control of the screen to a guest to collaborate on a file. Additional Acrobat.com services, such as Share, Create PDF, My Files, and Adobe Buzzword, are accessible via Acrobat 9 Pro, an Adobe AIR version of Acrobat.com (included with this edition of Creative Suite 4), and your web browser.

Subversion integration
When a collaborative project requires a team of designers and developers, open-source Subversion software is often used to handle version control. Dreamweaver CS4 integrates Subversion for a more robust check-in/check-out experience with file versioning, rollback, and more. Once you've defined Subversion as your version-control system, you can update your site to get the latest versions of its pages. Modified pages can be checked into a Subversion repository directly from within Dreamweaver--no third-party utility or command line interface is required. Dreamweaver can also revert checked-out files or mark conflicts as resolved to complete the team site-building experience.

Adobe AIR authoring support
Create multi-platform desktop applications from your Dreamweaver HTML and JavaScript sites with new Adobe AIR authoring support. Download and install the latest version of the Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver to begin creating engaging, branded applications that run on all major desktop operating systems using your existing web development resources with Adobe AIR. For a streamlined workflow, you can repurpose your existing assets into Adobe AIR desktop applications without leaving Dreamweaver. Preview your Adobe AIR applications within Dreamweaver CS4 to make sure everything is working as designed. When you're ready, prepare your application for deployment with Adobe AIR packaging and code-signing features. Dreamweaver also serves as an Adobe AIR development platform for custom applications. Adobe AIR applications run online or off--they can even be used to access a persistent data source populated from your database.

New user interface
Work faster and smarter across Dreamweaver CS4 and other components of Creative Suite 4, thanks to a new level of integration and common user-interface elements. A common interface means a more natural process as you move from Photoshop or Fireworks to Flash to Dreamweaver. Stack or minimize your docked panels to maximize your visual or coding environment; click once to pull out a panel and expose desired properties, and then click again to put it away. Work in new Split Code View to display your code in two different sections simultaneously, or choose the new Horizontal Split View option for a different perspective. Quickly move from one layout organization to another with the Workspace pull-down list. You can choose from a series of predesigned layouts--like those for application coders or designers--or create your own custom work environments for the ultimate in personalized workspaces.
