With Adobe Reader LE, mobile users can have the privilege of viewing their high-impact documents in a reliable, safe and consistent approach on the go – anywhere they want to as long as they have Adobe Reader LE installed in their mobile phones.

Features of Adobe Reader LE

The emergence of the Adobe Reader LE is a significant and positive occurrence for the mobile users especially those who needs to always monitor some documents that were before only accessible through the desktop. Here are some of the fundamental features that are incorporated in Adobe Reader LE:

• Web-optimized PDF support is one of the key features of Adobe Reader LE, which allows downloading of PDF files from the web servers in sequence, meaning pages are available for viewing one page at a time.
• Robust PDF Rendering is the most important feature of Adobe Reader LE because this is the one responsible for facilitating precise representation of the PDF content, which is why it was mentioned earlier that Adobe Reader LE allows reliable and consistent viewing of documents through the use of the mobile phone.

• The Scroll feature allows easier browsing because of its uncomplicated navigation capabilities. Go can go either left or right, up and down as you view your PDF documents.
• For mobile phones with a small screen, the Zoom feature can work by zooming in or zooming out in order for you to browse over readable PDF contents.
• With regards to PDF documents integrated with display contents, the Page rotation feature can work by rotating the display but only within the 90 degrees. However, if you really need to rotate a certain display this feature will surely be of good help to you.
• When you need to search for a specific text within your PDF document, Adobe Reader LE has a Text Search feature wherein you can be able to achieve faster text search results.
• Adobe Reader LE allows fast and easy navigation with the inclusion of Links and Bookmarks features. The Link feature supports intra-document links that are included in the PDF document that you are viewing while the Bookmarks feature maintains the bookmarks enclosed in the PDF document, both features provide uncomplicated searching and allows shorter navigation time.
• The Encryption feature of Adobe Reader LE is the one responsible if you want to have a safer and less disk occupying PDF documents, this is the feature that assists in allowing safe PDF contents. The Encryption feature allows a maximum of 128-bit file encryption.
• Transparencies and smooth shadings enclosed in the PDF document are possible because of the Smooth shading, transparencies element controlled by Adobe Reader LE.

The creation of Adobe Reader LE is one proof that today’s modern technology is crossing all bridges in order to make business and communication a lot more easier and uncomplicated.

Illustrator is the old hand among the main CS3 application with its creation dated back in 1986. At present, with its existence of more than 20 years since it was created after fruitful years of innovation, Adobe gave birth to the creation of the Adobe Illustrator CS3. This product belongs to the Adobe Creative Suites products family. Recent improvements applied on Adobe Illustrator CS3 are capable of producing creative and imaginative designs.

Features of Adobe Illustrator CS3

• Adobe Illustrator CS3 now comes with the new panel-based user interface, previously called as palettes. This new user interface (called panels) has the capacity to allow you to turn panels into icons to be stacked tidily in integrating and collapsible windows at the side of your screen. This panel interface allows easier navigation within the application itself, allocating less time and faster accomplishment of tasks.

• The innovative Eraser tool within the application is a great help to rub out imperfections in the artwork and at the same time has the added function of generating new routes and fastening points. Another thing to note is that this new innovation on Adobe Illustrator CS3 is its capability to work steadily with InDesign, Photoshop and Flash CS3. Isn’t that something to crave for?

• Making art works easier and faster to accomplish is the improvements made to create and come up with the New Document Profiles; wherein essential settings in creating documents are contained like the document size, preview mode, measurement settings, color mode among other settings included. From here it is also possible to make probable resolution settings to set the Document Raster Effects automatically within the Print Document profile.

• Aligning and distributing points are now made easier with the new Control Bar feature within Adobe Illustrator CS3. This feature also works well with distorting envelopes as well as aligning objects and anchor points. What’s more vital is the idea of easier managing of the anchor points possible because of the Direct Selection tool. As you move the anchor points this feature draws attention to the nodes as you move over them so as to prevent any destruction with the other elements of the work that you are doing.

• The “Live Color” feature is the latest addition to Adobe Illustrator CS3, which allows you to choose the closest Pantone Color that will tone with your existing process color tone. This feature can also allow you to change the dull colors into more exciting and lively colors from the grayscale that it used to have. Creating color groups that will serve as your guide in harmonizing the relationship of tones are some of the color enhancement capabilities of Adobe Illustrator CS3 possible with the new panel named as the Color Guide.

Improvements mentioned in this article and a lot more are the keys to producing a livelier and colorful creative artwork design, which is probably the main goal why Adobe Illustrator CS3 was created.

The world doesn’t offer too many things that meet requirements in two different ways; thanks to Adobe for making the Adobe Soundbooth available either as a standalone software or as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite 3. The worst impression it gathers is it’s a decent blend of audio-video recording and editing options and features, turned a little sour due to its AutoScore feature that falls short if compared to its other equivalents. To an average professional in the industry, the lack of a multi-track interface may prove a big hurdle when it comes to super-fine mastering but nevertheless, when it comes to the video part, both Mac and Windows users shall consider themselves to be blessed beings. Users of Audition, it’s suggested that you continue within your own realm.

While Soundbooth enjoys the same facelift (improved user interface) as the rest of the CS3 applications allowing panels to be dragged and organized as desired freeing up more area as the workspace, being task-based, it also allows for an organized workflow to assist the beginners in the audio editing field to provide maximum output without getting lost in the labyrinth of the features. The History panel, on the other hand, was noticed to contain every edited form of an audio file. However, it was not found to be as versatile as the Soundtrack Pro 2 of the Final Cut Studio by Apple; one cannot undo any edit that’s done in a random manner. Soundbooth requires being managed sequentially; perhaps, it’s going to make a few haywire people learn the need for synchronized orders.

The three-way input definitely makes the Soundbooth more versatile; so do the separate recording window and the volume meter. The automatic noise removal function is just a feature that shall be used till one knows about the Auto Heal function – to remove random clicks, pops and other noises from an audio file, nothing can prove better. These disturbances can be made out from the two views and can then be cut out with the lasso or the rectangle marquee tool to replace them with ambient sounds that can be said completely natural, if not anything better. The editing features can thus be said to be the best things in the application.

One feature that can turn people curious is the automatic composition though accessing sample files are a tough task from the overloaded Adobe Lab server. But it looks to be well implemented; the sad part is it makes Adobe Soundbooth look like an excellent beginner-level audio editing software. Is there any need to copy CineScore? To compensate, Soundbooth’s editing tools must turn into something more robust; just changing people’s view on how an entry level audio software should look is not enough. And though it has a lot of potential with the cross-platform abilities, maybe Adobe would have though about it before releasing its predecessor – the Audition.

One of the many DVD authoring software tools produced by Adobe Systems is the software, Adobe Encore. The name of this software was previously Adobe Encore DVD and is targeted to cater to the needs of semi professional video producers. With the help of Adobe Encore, you find DVD authoring taking a new level of creativity that includes powerful menu design tools and complete control over interactivity.

With the help of Adobe Encore, there is no need of you doing any transcoding as your files are automatically transcoded into MPEG-2 video and Dolby Digital audio. It is also possible to create and edit DVD menus with the help of special layering techniques found in Adobe Photoshop.

Adobe Encore is also packed with creative tools for Blu-ray Disc authoring and SWF export to the web. Adobe Encore is available for both Intel and Windows based systems and is great for the easy production of full featured projects on the web. With Adobe Encore, you get to create designs with complete control and freedom.

With the help of Adobe Encore, you find it possible to burn projects to dual layered DVD discs. These dual layered discs are basically discs with single sides, but two recordable layers on one side. With this, these discs effectively double the amount of data it can hold. It is possible to create a dual layer disc at home with a dual-layer media and a DVD burner that supports dual layers.

By using the Adobe Encore, the subtitles that were found over images in 16×9 timeline is now shown on set top DVD players in widescreen mode. The DVD burn speed can now be seen properly on DVD burners while the title button designation is doesn’t get overridden by the ‘Return to Last Menu’ setting.

You can now open projects on deleting or renaming the ROM folder while you find the layer break in a dual-layer project shown through subtitles. It is possible for you to edit menus with Photoshop CS as Adobe Encore offers full support for Photoshop CS with non-square pixels and nested layer sets.

There is an enhanced palette in the library of Adobe Encore where you can organize individual text layers, background layers, layer sets and vector shapes. In addition to all this, you find buttons, images and menu templates that can be used in this palette and if required, you can create your own custom library sets.

The Adobe Encore has a styles palette that is easy to use; you can create your own styles by dragging styles from the new Styles palette in the Menu Editor. If in doubt, you can check your project while in production. This is because Adobe Encore checks bit rates, subtitles and navigation for problems to be presented in a sortable list.

So try out Adobe Encore software to find out the many more benefits it has to offer you for enhanced images and projects.

The above along with “Adobe Acrobat Connect”; presents a new way of real-time conferencing. Business/Professional meetings for sharing/discussion/learning purposes require detailed planning in terms of place, time, people, and resources. As technology and communications advances, you can hold these meetings online more effectively and efficiently-“Web conferencing” or “e-learning”. It is an online/virtual meeting wherein participants interact or attend virtual classrooms with each other via their own PCs irrespective of their physical places, thus saving cost and time.

Macromedia had a set of software, “Breeze”. On acquisition by Adobe, the software “Macromedia Breeze” was renamed “Adobe Acrobat Connect” and “Breeze Meeting” became “Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional”.

The former is for individuals (limited features) while the Professional one is for Enterprises/Departments with richer features. The Professional one is available in hosted and licensed versions and consists of “Adobe Connect Training” (earlier “Breeze Training”), Adobe Connect Events (“Breeze Events”) and “Adobe Presenter” (“Breeze Presenter”).

The software allows the sharing of information rich in multimedia and content through a friendly user interface via Adobe Flash Player (available in most browsers), chats, audio, graphics, and application/screen/desktop sharing. It also uses Microsoft PowerPoint slides (with embedded movies/video, audio, animations, visual effects) and technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). All this allows for higher quality and easy flow of data/information among the users. Moreover, you can use web cams and Video-conferencing.

You can create virtual meetings via web-rooms allocated to different users with custom layouts and company branding (logo etc.), which can be saved for future use. Over a thousand users can meet who can either be the hosts (one who started the meeting), participants (members), or presenters (one doing a presentation).

User management is possible. Here, the users’ presence and activities can be controlled such that their role in the meeting can be either enhanced (become a presenter) or restricted (blocked/disconnected). Users can access the meeting via the software or the web browser using an address (URL) which has a room name. They can come and leave without disrupting the meeting, communicate/share information with either all members or specific ones without others knowing. The users’ screens consist of the rooms, whiteboards and information and can be controlled.

Meeting management is also possible wherein meetings can be scheduled by inviting people from outlook/address books and scheduling meetings in the outlook calendars. Their proceedings are recorded and can be viewed by the users. Detailed reports of the meetings and users can be obtained.

It can run on Windows and Mac OS, browsers (Explorer, FireFox) and requires Flash Player.

It is very expensive and its integration with some e-learning systems may be difficult. Moreover, synchronization and control of many open windows and applications can be tough and confusing if the host has few monitors.

However, you can have meetings/polls/quizzes/learning sessions or anything wherein people interact with each other and the facilities exist for all with real time management and results. Therefore, it is a great handy tool and experiencing it is a pleasure.

Those who are wondering about what Contribute is all about, for them, it is a program for maintaining websites and blogs; the software plays the role of an administration tool that allows access to specific parts of the site-template for a client website. The desktop application is currently in its fourth version and is a tool that can reduce significantly the level of expertise required for web designing.

The programs hallmark is it’s simplistic interface and it ensures the template’s appearance to stay as it is even with unlimited content input. It has now been made a part of the Web Premium Edition of Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 and Adobe Contribute CS3 has become a little more interesting from before because of a few of the newest additions while retaining the older marvels like its ability to publish from MS Office applications and browser-supported website/blog editing features. The end result is a very nice improvement to an application that already earned accolades from site administrators, bloggers and personal website owners.

It’s good to see that Adobe Contribute CS3 also pulls in Acrobat granting the application an easy PDF access; alongside, it allows a user to add customized HTML tags to every page of a website. This becomes possible since there remains present a HTML Snippet code window under the Insert menu. However, custom CSS codes are denied editing; whether it’s a bug or the way it should be shall require a little time for us to know. But anyway, the HTML snippet window is of great help when it comes to exercise extra control over a site’s overall look. The only way things can mess-up is through bad syntax, which cannot be edited after clicking the OK button. Maybe Adobe should think twice about it?

Let’s see what else does Contribute support. The list includes rich media, movies, images and Adobe Flash or .FLV files; all these can be put into a web page with the help of the Adobe Contribute CS3. The file needs to be dragged onto the page entry; after that, it is the sole responsibility of the software, which uploads, and posts the file automatically. That also applies to PDF documents that can be embedded directly into the blog entry or into a web page.

When it comes to maintain the integrity of a website, Adobe Contribute CS3 and Dream Weaver templates integrate seamlessly between themselves. The end result is an uninterrupted look and feel, even with multiple users updating the content all across a specific site. The code quality and format preservation measures to thank, precisely.

But Contribute, being a client-side tool allows editing only in PCs with Contribute installed, for which, individual licenses are required. This makes the software unsuitable for large workgroups. So think before you swipe your card for a copy; also keep in mind that it’s a web-editing tool and not meant for development. Moreover, Contribute being able to edit one page at once, it makes complex designs a hard-to-manage affair if controlled from multiple sources (e.g. database, SSI, XML). And lastly, if you are looking for a faster process, its better to go for a tool that’s meant for development, allowing multiple pages to be up- and downloaded at a time and providing access to source codes, especially if adding any third-party functions are of prime importance.

The purchase of the “Macromedia” company by Adobe has brought forth a number of products released by Adobe, which are the merger of the best features of the products of both companies.

The Adobe Device Central CS3 is an integral part of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 (Design, Web and Production Premium editions) that the industry recognizes as a radical boost to a team’s efficiency and productivity in the fields of dynamic and engaging interface development. The industry is thus anticipating a complete change in the way applications and video content for mobile phones are seen today; that also includes other hand-held consumer electronic devices into the jurisdiction. The popularity of the Device Central is also forecasted to grow tenfold within a few months since it is also available as an individual product that comes with Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. But do we need to read between the lines? Not exactly, for such ease of usage had never been a creative professionals cuppa.

There’s no doubt regarding Adobe Device Central CS3’s capability of making things easier when it comes to mobile content creation; for the operators, such a measure is also going to enhance their possibilities of delivering new and rich content to the mobile users. This is also the first time a software is allowing to preview and test the work done within a known authoring environment resulting in a dramatically simplified mobile authoring process.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 definitely deserves a pat on the back because of its user-friendly interface that increases the overall working area. This is achieved by docking the panels as well as the icons and being built the same as the rest of the CS3 package, the feel of being alienated is something that shall not going to show up at least till the next versions.

The built-in library comprises 200+ free profiles of various mobile devices supplied by OEM manufacturers leading the industry that can also be updated free of charge. This is a boon to all creative professionals who want to stay updated on the latest mobile devices, since it offers a real-time view of the appearance and performance of the mobile media content. The backlight and sunlight reflection simulations are a wise input from the Adobe team; it takes away the pain of presuming how a particular content shall appear in different light-conditions. Thanks to the vied mobile devices, whose consistent user interface allows moving between Adobe Device Central CS3 and other integrated components with zero-hindrance. But a few changes are sure to make the Adobe Device Central CS3 more acceptable.

To start with, it’s the auto refreshment feature that can make double clicking on the device list an unnecessary phenomenon and can save a little more time during an application re-run. We would also like to see the Nokia 6680 profiles in the device profile list and the device profile 5 to be free from errors related to Nokia 6131 wallpapers being shrunk in height.

Overall, the Adobe Device Central CS3 is a designers’ software that is yet to reveal the marvels it nests within.

Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 Web Premium has been built with the interactive Internet media in mind and has taken AJAX-based sites and Flash games to heights formerly un-soared. With new versions of certain software thrown into a single package, the CS3 Web Premium makes possible complex tasks (images and page layouts) to be completed within no time and that is from the scratch. The integration comprises Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator and Dream Weaver besides a few other tools.

The Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition runs both on Windows (XP and Vista) and Mac (Intel/PowerPC) running OSX.

The CS3 Web Premium must earn a few accolades for easing up the task of file transferring; Photoshop files can now be pasted directly into Dreamweaver and that too after putting into use any specific optimization setting of the image layers. Each of the layers can then be opened separately with Dream Weaver, the same way the integrated Flash displays the layer hierarchies. This allows for maintaining every path and anchor point for using later as the key frames. Fireworks maintain the layer effects while allowing editing jobs on the imported psd-s. And all that requires a simple drag-and-drop.

There have been instances when browser compatibility has become a major issue but now, with a checker that’s built-in, possible problems cannot help but get automatically highlighted. All these make Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium an optimized package for an outstanding performance in the web design and development arena, guaranteed to bring forth a more productive workflow while ensuring a web-page/site a consistent and uncompromising look and feel. And with Photoshop Extended, the CS3 Web Premium seems to be reaching out to other industries outside the design circuit – especially the medical industry, engineering and the 3D domain. Courtesy – the counting tool (for extracting image based quantitative and qualitative data); specialized image formats and the software’s ability for image-mapping 2D-s onto 3D objects. And all that requires one click to the respective buttons, pre-assigned into the software.

Designers and developers have been found thrilled after witnessing the advanced integration offered by the Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition software package; this complete set of essential web, interactive design and development tools can be called comprehensive at worst. But while the new tools are enough to allure just anybody (even those whose idea about digital images are just x-rated pics), the price poses a major bar and might make people think for at least a few times whether the upgrade/investment shall be a worthwhile one, even though it’s in common knowledge that getting a work done shall never be as easy as now with the Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 Web Premium software package.

Ever since, Adobe bought “Macromedia” company, they have continuously been merging the best of both the companies’ products and announced their biggest product till date-Creative Suit 3 (CS3). It is a product (in both Standard and Premium editions) encompassing many products into a single one and suits a large number of people with various needs and purposes (web, print, film, mobile etc.). It consists of six editions of which “Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard” (“Adobe CS3 Web Standard”) is one of them.

“Adobe CS3 Web Standard” makes the workflow (concept, design, creation, maintenance) a lot easier for the web developers and designers. It consists of the following tools Bridge CS3 (media manager), Version Cue CS3 (file management), Device Central CS3 (mobile content), Stock Photos (royalty-free photos), Acrobat Connect (online meetings) along with Dreamweaver CS3 (websites and applications), Flash CS3 Professional (interactive content), Fireworks CS3 (web prototype and design), and Contribute CS3 (websites and blogs updation). It is said to be derived from Macromedia Studio 8.

All the above integrate such that you save time and can be innovative and creative without bothering over the compatibility issues. It comes with a friendly user interface and well-integrated environment having commonly used commands, tools, work spaces and other elements that increases your productivity.

It has advanced tools like the CSS (layouts, management etc), video, coding, text, animation, drawing, scaling, and graphics etc. Other components included are the Ajax, debugger, ActionScript, customization assets, image and photos gallery, and library (graphics, text, animations and templates) etc.

You can import from Photoshop and Illustrator, drag and drop or embed file types (FLV etc.) between applications and publish WYSIWYG sites/blogs from Microsoft Office. You can better control, co-ordinate and co-operate the workflow of your files/documents with others. You can also create and test content (like Flash Lite) meant for the mobile/consumer electronic devices on the desktop also. Authorized permissions to edit/update any content or website and rollback to earlier versions are possible.

You can create interactive/dynamic applications and software for the web and mobile on both Windows and Mac OS and use it across any browsers (Explorer, Firefox) and platforms (Windows, Mac). Whatever you create is scalable and adaptable as it supports present and future technologies and standards (XML, CSS, HTML, XHTML, PHP, Adobe ColdFusion, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, Internet Protocol version 6 -IPv6 etc).

This product is available only for the academic (school, faculty and students) and not for the non-academic. Moreover, its online services like (Adobe Stock Photos, Acrobat Connect) might not be available for all countries, languages or currencies and their terms can change.

It has its pitfalls, like the large amount of computer resources consumed (specially the memory wherein even 1 GB may not be enough).

However, its price is reasonable considering the applications involved and their seamless integration that makes the design and development a painless job for the academic world.
