Adobe® Illustrator® CS4 software is a comprehensive vector graphics environment tightly integrated with the Adobe Creative Suite® family of products. New features such as multiple artboards, a Blob Brush tool for intuitive vector painting, and transparency in gradients with on-object controls invite you to explore more efficient and creative ways of working.

Product highlights

• Multiple artboards - Create files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes and display them any way you want - overlapping, side by side, or stacked. Save, export, and print artboards independently or together. Save a selected range or all artboards as a multipage PDF file.
• Transparency in gradients - Define the opacity of any individual colour stop in a gradient. Reveal underlying objects and images, and create rich colour and texture mixes using multiple layers, knockouts, and cover-up fades.
• Blob Brush tool - Sketch with a brush that generates a single clean vector shape, even when strokes overlap. Draw naturally, using the Blob Brush tool together with the Eraser and Smooth tools.
• Gradients exposed - Interact with gradients right on your object. Set gradient angle, position, and elliptical dimensions. Add and edit colours using sliders - all with immediate feedback where you work.
  
• Integration and delivery - Collaborate with your team, work across products, and deliver almost anywhere thanks to integrated tools and extensive format support. Confidently design for print, interactive experiences, motion effects, and more.
• Enhanced user experience - Stay in the creative groove thanks to interface improvements that include on-object controls. Interact with tools smoothly, and increase your efficiency using new timesaving features and shortcuts.
• In-panel appearance editing - Edit object characteristics directly in the Appearance panel, eliminating the need to open fill, stroke, or effects panels. Work with shared attributes and control display for faster rendering.
  
• Refined graphic styles - Combine styles for unique effects and increased efficiency, and apply styles without disturbing an object’s existing appearance. Enjoy new thumbnail previews and an expanded library of prebuilt styles.
• Clipping masks demystified - Work with masks more easily by viewing only the clipped area of your objects during editing. Take advantage of Isolation Mode, and use Edit Clipping Path for even more control.
• Separations Preview - Avoid colour output surprises such as unexpected spot colours, unwanted overprinting, overprints that don’t overprint, white overprinting, and CMYK blacks in text and placed files.
