Enhanced Adobe PDF Support, Advanced CSS Authoring and Breakthrough Cross-Media Integration with Adobe InDesign Anchor Full-Version Upgrade to GoLive 6.0 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Oct. 28, 2003 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE) today shipped Adobe® GoLive® CS, a full-version upgrade of the powerful, integrated Web publishing tool for creative professionals involved in Web design. Available as a stand-alone software application, or as a key component of the Adobe Creative Suite (also now shipping) GoLive CS speeds web site design and production. GoLive CS includes innovative capabilities such as Package for GoLive from Adobe InDesign®, GoLive Co-Author™, advanced Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) visual authoring and extensive support for Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Instead of traditional version numbers, Adobe is now using "CS" to identify new versions of its market-leading creative professional applications, in order to better reflect the deep level of integration across the products. Advanced CSS SupportAdobe GoLive CS offers a powerful visual programming environment aligned with industry standards. By supporting CSS level-2 layout and authoring, separating form from content for Web communication, GoLive CS lets designers visually author CSS level-2 compliant pages and check support in different browsers and devices. A completely redesigned CSS editor helps create styles, which can be rendered instantly with a visual preview. The Source Code editor has been rewritten to program pages with a code-completion engine and enhanced 360Code®, a roundtripping algorithm, to ensure code integrity and allow clean-up with powerful optimization tools that are two times faster than previous versions. In addition to the enhanced CSS tools, GoLive CS features Apple QuickTime authoring enhancements, and access to Watchfire® WebXACT™ for accessibility. New Level of Adobe Integration Adobe GoLive CS provides unparalleled integration with components in the Adobe Creative Suite and the familiar Adobe look and feel makes it easy for designers to get up-to-speed quickly on GoLive CS. Offering industry-leading support for Adobe PDF, GoLive CS takes advantage of Adobe PDF for common tasks, including late stage bookmark and link edits, previewing pages, and exporting page designs directly to Adobe PDF for client review. The breakthrough Package for GoLive feature in InDesign® CS allows designers to quickly export the textual and image assets of sophisticated pre-press layouts into Adobe GoLive CS, radically cutting down the time required to create integrated print and Web campaigns. Smart Objects allow users to work with native Adobe Photoshop® CS, Adobe Illustrator® CS, and Adobe Acrobat® files directly inside of GoLive CS, while the Adobe Color Engine (ACE) enhances and streamlines color workflows. Smart Guides provide vertical and horizontal indicators to line up page elements and include pre-built, professionally-made elements for Web page design. Changes can now be viewed immediately in GoLive CS with the Live Rendering palette, a real-time rendering window for Web design. The Adobe GoLive Co-Author, a feature set and standalone interface for collaborating with other team members, allows participants to make changes through a form-like interface without changing the layout. New Adobe Creative Suite In addition to being a stand-alone product, Adobe GoLive CS is a component of the all-new Adobe Creative Suite. The Adobe Creative Suite Premium Edition combines full, new versions of Adobe Photoshop CS with ImageReady® CS, Adobe Illustrator CS, Adobe InDesign CS, Adobe GoLive CS, and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional and introduces the innovative new Version Cue™ file version manager, to easily track iterations and quickly locate files. The Adobe Creative Suite is a complete design solution that gives today's creative professionals everything they need to create and publish content to print and the Web faster, more easily, and more efficiently than ever.
