This useful application helps you prepare files for professional print production, and allows you to bring together various file types into a single, searchable PDF Portfolio for easy sharing. The new Action Wizard in Acrobat Pro guides you through creating an Action, which is an automated sequence of steps that can be applied to a single PDF or batches of files. This allows you to automate routine and multistep PDF tasks more easily in Acrobat X Pro.

Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 is a premium illustration program for serious designers. Ideal for both vector and perspective drawings, with Illustrator you can take advantage of refined shape-building tools, advanced path controls, and fluid and painterly brushes. Handy snap-to guides help you arrange objects, symbols and live text with natural perspective, and with comprehensive typography tools you can create your perfect finish. Industry-leading Photoshop CS5 features Content-Aware Fill to eliminate an aspect of an image and see it replaced with perfect lighting, tone and noise as if it never existed.

Design Standard also incorporates intelligent Adobe technologies including Adobe Bridge and Adobe Device Central for comprehensive testing across a range of devices and enhanced media browsing and management. Additionally, purchase of this suite entitles you to a year's complimentary use of Adobe CS Live online services, which feature a range of excellent real-time tools, including onscreen reviewing.

The components of Design Standard CS5.5 can be used separately or integrated in various combinations for a fully customised workflow suited to each project you work on.
