Adobe Fireworks CS3 Manuale Utente

Web designers often spend lots of time doing repetitive tasks, such as optimizing images or converting images to fit 
within certain constraints. Part of the power of Fireworks CS3 is its capability to automate and simplify many tedious 
drawing, editing, and file-conversion tasks.

To speed up your editing process, you can use Find and Replace to search for and replace elements within a file or 
elements from multiple files. You can find and replace elements such as URLs, fonts, color, text, and commands 
created in the History panel.

You can use the Batch Process feature to convert entire groups of image files into other formats or to change their 
color palettes. Batch Process can apply custom optimization settings to groups of files. You can also resize a group of 
files, making Batch Process an ideal tool for creating thumbnails.

Using the History panel, you can create commands that are shortcuts for commonly used features or create a script 
that can perform a complex series of steps. Fireworks can understand and execute JavaScript, so advanced users can 
automate very complex tasks by writing JavaScript commands and then executing them in Fireworks. You can 
control nearly every Fireworks command or setting through JavaScript using special JavaScript commands that 
Fireworks can interpret.

The Extension Manager lets you import, install, and delete extensions in Adobe applications to extend the capabil-
ities of Fireworks.

The Find and Replace feature helps you search for and replace elements, such as text, URLs, fonts, and colors. Find 
and Replace can search the current document or multiple files. 

Find and Replace works only in Fireworks PNG files or in files containing vector objects, such as Adobe FreeHand, 
uncompressed CorelDraw, and Adobe Illustrator files.
