T
he Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium package is composed of sev-
eral programs designed to work together to accomplish all your publish-
ing needs for output to print, screen viewing, and Web hosting. Instead of
marketing the individual program components of the Creative Suite, Adobe
Systems has spent much of its marketing effort targeting the entire Creative Suite
to design professionals.

idea of how they work together. In this chapter, you learn about the purpose of
each program and the relationship each program has with other members of the
Creative Suite team. In addition, you receive a brief summary of new features
contained in the latest releases of the individual programs.
Why Creative Suite?
Each program in the Creative Suite version 3 is an upgrade from the CS2 applica-
tions, and each is available for upgrades individually. So why is Adobe Systems
spending so much marketing effort informing users about the benefits of the
Creative Suite? And why talk about the Creative Suite as a single entity when
users are likely to upgrade the individual software programs in their design stu-
dios? These may be the first questions on your mind as you see the advertising
for Adobe imaging product upgrades.
The answer is that Creative Suite is a single design solution where the whole is
greater than its parts. For years, Adobe Systems built several different applica-
tions like Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign with similar core technologies
like PDF. These programs evolved with common elements so that you, the cre-
ative professional, could easily exchange files among Adobe programs.
Rather than rely on a single program to perform tasks such as illustration, layout,
and printing, Adobe offers you several applications, each a tool designed for a spe-
cific purpose to help you become more efficient in your creative process. These
