Features

Multiple artboards

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

Transparency in gradients

Define the opacity of any individual color stop in a gradient. Reveal underlying objects and images, and create rich color and texture mixes using multiple layers, knockouts, and cover-up fades.

Blob Brush tool

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

Gradients exposed

Interact with gradients right on your object. Set gradient angle, position, and elliptical dimensions. Add and edit colors 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

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

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

Separations Preview

Avoid color output surprises such as unexpected spot colors, unwanted overprinting, overprints that don't overprint, white overprinting, and CMYK blacks in text and placed files.

Sophisticated vector drawing controls

Sketch naturally using the Blob Brush tool that turns strokes into a single filled object. Advanced path controls, graphic styles, and appearance editing enable intuitive vector drawing.

Integration with Adobe design applications

Share files smoothly with other Adobe professional design applications, collaborate with colleagues, and work easily among multiple tools for different media.

Advanced typography

Enjoy easy type creation and professional control with more than 80 OpenType® fonts, paragraph and character styles, paragraph composition, underlining and strikethroughs, transparent effects, and more.

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.

Live Color

Explore, apply, and control color variations using Live Color to interactively edit or replace colors. Use the Color Guide panel to quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious combinations.

Live Trace

Quickly and accurately convert photos, scans, or other bitmap images to editable and scalable vector paths using Live Trace.

Live Paint

Easily paint closed or partially closed objects with the Live Paint Bucket, which automatically detects and corrects gaps. Interactively select colors from the Swatches panel for faster work.

Adobe PDF file creation tools

Create protected, graphic-rich PDF files with Adobe® Illustrator® layers retained, multiple pages, color space and transparency handling, and ultimate prepress control, including printer's marks and bleeds.

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.

Gradients and transparency

Edit gradients directly on your object. Rotate them, add and adjust colors, and create elliptical gradients. You can even define the transparency of individual color stops in a gradient.
