 Adobe®
Illustrator® 9.0 expands your creative freedom and enhances your
productivity with its new Web graphics tools, versatile transparency
capabilities, powerful object and layer effects, and other innovative
features. Now you can use these fast, flexible tools to transform
your creative ideas into sophisticated graphics for use on the Web,
in print, or in dynamic media projects.
Flash and SVG output With Adobe® Illustrator® 9.0, you can preserve
your artwork in vector form when exporting it for the Web. Illustrator
9.0 provides excellent support for exporting files to Flash (SWF)
format, as well as to the new Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard.
Both Web vector formats maintain high-quality artwork and fonts,
while producing smaller file sizes and faster download times than
bitmap formats. Flash is widely used to design vector-based Web
pages and Web animations; when exporting graphics to this format,
you have the option of exporting the entire graphic to a single
SWF file; exporting each layer to a separate frame in a single SWF
file; or exporting each layer to a separate SWF file. SVG is an
emerging, completely open standard that was developed by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and numerous industry players, including
Adobe Systems, IBM, Netscape, Sun, Corel, Hewlett-Packard, and others.
The SVG standard provides all the benefits of the Flash format,
plus support for the following features: Type 1 and TrueType fonts,
extensible markup language (XML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
interactive actions, and dynamic HTML animation. When preparing
SVG output, you can assign scripted events to objects using the
SVG Interactivity palette, and then export that information with
the file. Illustrator also ships with the SVG Viewer plug-in, which
works with different browsers to play back SVG graphics and Web
pages.
