                         Adobe Illustrator 9.0

	This is Adobe Illustrator 9.0, the most eagerly anticipated
	release of the year in the desktop publishing world.

	The industry-standard vector graphics creation software for
	print and the Web Adobe® Illustrator® 9.0 expands your
	creative freedom and enhances your productivity with its
	new Web graphics tools, versatile transparency capabilities,
	powerful object and layer effects, and other innovative
	features. Now you can use these fast, flexible tools to
	transform your creative ideas into sophisticated graphics
	for use on the Web, in print, or in dynamic media projects.

	WHAT'S NEW IN ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR 9.0?

	1. Flash and SVG output
	With Adobe® Illustrator® 9.0, you can preserve your artwork
	in vector form when exporting it for the Web. Illustrator
	9.0 provides excellent support for exporting files to Flash
 	(SWF) format, as well as to the new Scalable Vector Graphics
	(SVG) standard. Both Web vector formats maintain high-quality
	artwork and fonts, while producing smaller file sizes and
	faster download times than bitmap formats. Flash is widely
	used to design vector-based Web pages and Web animations;
	when exporting graphics to this format, you have the option
	of exporting the entire graphic to a single SWF file;
	exporting each layer to a separate frame in a single SWF
	file; or exporting each layer to a separate SWF file.

	SVG is an emerging, completely open standard that was
	developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and numerous
	industry players, including Adobe Systems, IBM, Netscape, Sun,
	Corel, Hewlett-Packard, and others. The SVG standard provides
	all the benefits of the Flash format, plus support for the
	following features: Type 1 and TrueType fonts, extensible
	markup language (XML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
	interactive actions, and dynamic HTML animation. When
	preparing SVG output, you can assign scripted events to
	objects using the SVG Interactivity palette, and then
	export that information with the file. Illustrator also ships
	with the SVG Viewer plug-in, which works with different
	browsers to play back SVG graphics and Web pages.

	2. Pixel Preview                                 
	Because the vector artwork that you create in Illustrator
	will be rasterized upon output to the Web, it's useful to
	monitor your work in terms of pixels. Illustrator 9.0 lets
	you specify pixels as a global measurement unit for sizing,
	editing, and laying out your artwork. You can also preview
	your vector objects as they will appear when rasterized in
	a Web browser. Working in Pixel Preview mode guarantees that
	your objects will snap to the nearest pixel edge in order to
	minimize anti-aliasing. You can draw and edit artwork in
	this mode.

	3. Instant drop shadows, glows, and live shapes
	New commands under the Effect menu let you convert type
	and graphic objects to editable rectangular or elliptical
	shapes, which can be especially useful for creating Web
	buttons. These shapes can contain fully editable type
	objects and appearances; when you modify or transform a
	shape, its contents update automatically.
	The Stylize commands under the Effect menu let you apply
	appearances such as drop shadows and glows directly to
	type and graphic objects while retaining full vector
	editability of the objects.

	4. Release to Layers command                  
	The new Release to Layers command lets you instantly
	distribute all of the objects on a layer onto separate,
	individual layers. You can use this feature to prepare
	files for further Web animation work in other applications
	that support layers. For example, you can prepare
	different frames of an animation by first applying blend
	options to objects or using the scatter brush to paint
	repeated copies of an object along a path. You can then
	release each object in the blend or scattered path to a
	separate layer, and export the file as a Flash (SWF) file
	or to Adobe Photoshop® 5.5 to set up the animation. By
	pressing Shift as you choose the Release to Layers
	command, you can distribute objects onto separate layers
	in a cumulative sequence. For example, you can create a
	layer containing the first object, a layer containing
	the first and second objects, a layer containing the
	first, second, and third objects, and so on. This procedure
	is especially useful for building animation sequences.                                ³ 

	5. Unlimited transparency capabilities
	The new Transparency palette lets you apply transparency
	to any graphic object, bitmap image, or type character in
	your artwork so that underlying objects are partially or
	fully revealed. You can vary the transparency settings for
	every character, word, or paragraph in a text block, and
	even create cumulative effects by applying individual
	settings to characters and then applying an overall
	setting to an entire text block. Objects and text remain
	fully editable with transparency applied.  
	You also have the option of limiting transparency to a
	layer, to a group of objects, or to an object’s stroke or
	fill to achieve different creative results. To apply
	transparency to multiple objects,  simply Shift-click to
	select the objects and then set the transparency. To apply
	transparency to a layer, first target the layer in the
	Layers palette and then set the transparency. The
	transparency setting then affects the entire layer as a
	single object - any graphics on the layer, and any you
	add later on, immediately assume the transparency of
	the layer.     

	6. Opacity and Layer mask  
	Two new masking features - Opacity masks and Layer
	Clipping masks - let you selectively hide and reveal areas
	of your artwork through custom shapes. Using the
	Transparency palette, you can define any object as an
	opacity mask, so that artwork attached to the mask takes
	on modified transparency. The grayscale equivalents of
	the colors in the mask correspond to different levels
	of mask transparency. By  editing the shape, placement,
	and fill of the mask, you can achieve sophisticated
	effects such as variable transparency across an object.
	Clipping masks, which are defined through the Layers
	palette, let you reveal a set of underlying objects
	through a clipping shape.

	7. Feathering  
	The Feather command under the Effect > Stylize menu
	softens the transition between foreground and background
	objects. As with other effects, the feathering effect
	can be applied nondestructively to vector objects and
	type.  

	8. Overprint preview         
	With Illustrator 9.0, you can preview your overprint
	settings to proof trapping and spot-color effects before
	you go to press. You can, for example, preview on-screen
	how a spot-color object will overprint other objects.

	9. Effects       
	Use the many commands under the new Effect menu to apply 
	nondestructive visual effects to graphic objects, bitmap
	images, and type in your artwork. These effects preserve
	the full editability of the objects to which they are
	applied; you can continue to reshape, resize, transform,
	and retype the objects with the assurance that the effects
	will update with your edits. You can even remove an effect
	from an object without having to re-create the object
	from scratch.

	AND MUCH MORE!
