—Enjoy greater levels of 

integration, efficiency, and productivity with Adobe InDesign CS3 for professional page layout, 

Adobe Photoshop CS3 for image editing and enhancement, Adobe Illustrator CS3 for vector 

graphics creation, and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional for streamlined Adobe PDF workflows.
More efficient, intelligent design and layout with Adobe InDesign CS3

—Tightly integrated 

with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat, InDesign CS3 is packed with customer-inspired 

productivity enhancements that streamline repetitive layout tasks and help meet tight produc-

tion deadlines. Place multiple image and text files at once; automatically fit content to frames; 

and use enhanced Quick Apply to activate commands, scripts, and variables without taking your 

hands from the keyboard. Format and globally update tables and cells quickly and consistently 

using new table and cell styles. Explore additional creative options with new support for gradient 

feathers and Photoshop effects, such as bevel, emboss, glow, and others, as well as the new ability 

to apply transparency settings separately to the fill, stroke, and content of objects.
Efficient, fluid creation of images with Adobe Photoshop CS3

—With Photoshop CS3, 

experience easier selection with the new Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools; align and 

blend similar photos to combine the best aspects of each; and manipulate perspective along 

multiple planes with enhanced Vanishing Point features. Experiment more freely with filters 

using nondestructive new Smart Filters. Process Camera Raw, JPEG, and TIFF files faster and 

more effectively using next-generation Adobe Camera Raw controls. Convert images to black-

and-white, apply Curves for more precise color adjustments, and get the most from 32-bit HDR 

images with newly enhanced controls. Easily contribute content to non-print-publishing 

projects, including web, interactive, and mobile.

—With Illustrator CS3, 

discover an exciting new color environment, called Live Color, to explore and save color 

combinations and to interactively apply them to multiple objects at once. Increase precision 

with faster point selection, enhanced drawing controls and preferences, and the ability to align 

and distribute spacing between anchor points. Using the new Crop Area tool, quickly select an 

object or group, and then choose File > Save As PDF to create a perfectly cropped PDF file of 

that artwork. Access more tools and options, including anchor-point controls, selection tools, 

clipping masks, envelope distortions, and more, in the enhanced, context-sensitive Control 

panel. Quickly remove areas of artwork as easily as you erase pixels in Photoshop by stroking 

the artwork with the Eraser tool.
More automated control of Adobe PDF files

—Use Acrobat 8 Professional to control the 

output of high-quality, content-rich, industry-standard Adobe PDF files. Review more 

efficiently through new server-based shared reviews that enable you to see each others’ com-

ments as they are posted. Preflight and automatically fix issues in PDF files before producing 

them as press- or web-ready files, and automate print-production workflows with enhanced Job 

Description Format (JDF) support. 

A built-in media 

manager for visual people, Adobe Bridge CS3 delivers improved performance, a new Filter 

panel for quickly finding files, file stacks for efficiently organizing and batch-processing files, 

and new previewing support. Bridge CS3 also acts as a hub for a variety of services, including 

Acrobat Connect for live web-based meetings, Version Cue CS3 for workgroup collaboration, 

and Adobe Stock Photos for easy access to high-quality, royalty-free images.
Streamlined collaboration and coordination—

Save time and accelerate decision-making 

with built-in access to Acrobat Connect, a web-conferencing service that enables you to conduct 

live reviews of creative concepts and final work with clients and colleagues (separate subscrip-

tion fees may apply). Collaborate on complex projects more efficiently using Version Cue CS3 to 

track, find, and manage files.
