Adobe stages Creative Suite 2.3 Mid East debut at Gitex 2006

The award-winning unified design software environment now includes the all-new Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional software and Dreamweaver 8, the industry-leading Web development tool at GITEX Dubai 2006.

At the exhibition, industry experts and design evangelists from Adobe will highlight how tighter integration between Acrobat 8 Professional and other components of Creative Suite 2.3 will enable users to support Adobe PDF workflows with advanced tools for creating, collaborating and controlling the output of high-quality Adobe PDF files.

"At GITEX, we are providing our channel partners and end-users an opportunity to learn directly from the experts on how to work confidently and seamlessly with the Creative Suite applications, including the latest release of Acrobat and the newly-added Dreamweaver,"

said Jacob Alex, Channel Manager for Adobe Middle East.

"Whether attendees are learning about these tools for the first time, or deepen their insights to use them effectively, they will find value in participating in the live demonstrations lined up at the show," he added.

Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 provides a highly efficient, design environment that combines the latest versions of its professional design software with Version Cue® CS2, Adobe Bridge, and Adobe Stock Photos.

"In a region that is getting increasingly IT-savvy, the launch of Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 will be welcomed enthusiastically by all creative professionals," said Adobe's Regional Manager, Andrew Lindström. "With Gitex bringing the cream of IT professionals and decision makers together, we are excited about demonstrating the amazingly versatile product to our target customers."

For instance, with Creative Suite 2.3, printers can automatically fix problems identified during pre-flight review in PDF, including hairlines, color space, transparency flattening, font embedding and image resolution. Enhanced support for automated Job Definition Format workflows enables printers to automatically output and validate PDF files from Adobe InDesign® CS2 software.

Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 Premium also bundles Dreamweaver® 8, which supports best practices and broader Web workflows for efficiently designing, developing and maintaining standards-based Web sites and applications. Future versions of Adobe Creative Suite will integrate Dreamweaver as a replacement for Adobe GoLive®. Adobe will continue to develop GoLive as a standalone product.

"Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 is a ream software that provides unparalleled benefits and more power to realize their ideas in print, on the web, or on mobile devices," said Giuseppe Verrini, Managing Director, Southern Europe, Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa. "Adobe file management and web development was never so easy and fulfilling."
