Where to get the Printed Documentation
Another reviewer raised a good point, that Creative Suite Premium includes scant printed documentation, compared with the printed documentation included if you purchase Photoshop, Illustrator, etc, separately.While it is all there in pdf format, for many of us, there is no substitute for printed user guides.It took a while to find it (have you ever tried to navigate Adobe's massive website?) but I finally discovered that you can purchase all of the printed documentation for the tools includes in Creative Suite Premium package for a nominal fee directly from Adobe.The best way to find that page is to google the string "Supplemental User Guides for Adobe Creative Suite".To me, this discovery makes Adobe Creative Suite Premium a much more attractive purchase.

A Great Upgrade
I wanted to upgrade to Photoshop CS and add Acrobat Professional.For the extra money, I decided to go all the way to the Premium Suite.It was a great decision.

As a the owner of a web design and development shop, I have already found uses for InDesign CS and Illustrator CS, programs I never thought I would use.

My favorite part of this program is the file management system.It is easy to use and convenient.

One drawback is the upgrade does not come with documentation.There are web based PDFs, but no books.It is daunting for an old dog like myself to open a new program - particularly one as complex as this one - and start a new project.There is a CD with video lessons that helped, but nothing beats a book in your lap when you are lost.

First Look
I haven't had a chance to fully use and review Adobe CS yet, but I am very pleased with some of the improvements I've seen in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.It's still not as smooth and integrated as Adobe would have you imagine, but for me--a professional graphic designer--the upgrade is well worth it.One caveat: If you buy the Creative Suite, you will NOT receive the printed documentation that you get when you buy the products individually.They do provide PDFs, but I find books much easier to deal with.You do get the printed documentation when you buy standalone Photoshop CS. ...

welcome adobe's prence on the Linux platform
As linux newbie that has long since abandoned the Win NT as my primary OS, I would warmly welcome the arrival of Pagemaker and Illustrator for the Linux platform- both for my personal use, as well as at work.

I wouldn't buy an upgrade for these products on NT for personal use, though we just upgraded with the whole suite at work.discussion came up about what the likely timeframe would be before we could buy the products for Linux... at that time, we may switch some operations from Solaris/NT to Solaris/Linux/

Adobe Publishing Collection---The Ultimate Solution
Over the last several years I have had experience with Corel Draw, Photo Paint, & Ventura.I have also slugged it out with Paint Shop Pro 3.x,4.x,5.x &7.x, and Photoshop LE.

I tried the rest, but was driven to the best. The Adobe Publishing Collection does it all.Photoshop is the standard. Paint Shop Pro is a marvel for the Price, but Photoshop's interface is the clear winner if you are working with large numbers of images.So, too, the filters run immesurably faster in Photo Shop.On my machine, the Salt & Pepper filter in Paint Shop Pro takes 4,5,6 minuets in a large file (28 meg).In Photoshop (even LE), the filter runs in less than a minute.

Then there is PageMaker.This is the only way to do lay out.Working in layers, it is even possible to print your file as "text only" for proofing.Linked images work flawlessly.The commands and tools are simple and intuitive.Ventura is a nightmare by comparison....don't try it one without a manual. PageMaker also writes clean HTML and PDF files that may be all you need.

Still, Acrobat works tightly with MS-Word, Excel, etc. It even installs itself on the Word toolbar, ready to dump your Word Doc into a PDF file.I write my own HTML, converting lots of long doccuments.Often, an Acrobat file is just as efficient, preserves layout, and gives ultimate control. I have the feeling I might be writting less and less HTML code.

Illustrator? I have limited experience here, but am told my someone I trust that its capabilities are at least as great as Draw, and Draw is good.....this one, I am told, may be too close to call, but we are talking a "collection" here, with four great programs made greater by their collective strength.

Finally, the Publishing Collection is the real deal from Adobe.$600.00 for PhotoShop, $500.00 for PageMaker, $250.00 for Acrobat, $400.00 for Illustrator.Or-----buy the Publishing Collection and get them all for $999.00 or there abouts.The collection is the only way to fly!

If you are into digital photography, web publishing & print, or combinations of all of the above, it is a superb, cost efficient way to go. ... Read more

A "Must Have" Bundle of Products
Adobe Publishing Collection 9.0 is a "Must Have" for any graphic designer.The "bundled" price is a bargain compared to purchasing all the programs separately, and all are a necessity for quality design.The bundle includes all the programs necessary to design, edit, and publish just about anything, though it's not for the novice user - there's a steep learning curve to master the programs and use them effectively.I recommend this packaged price for any user looking to upgrade to most current version(s) at the best price available.Prior experience strongly recommended. ...
