Introduction
Welcome to the Adobe Illustrator™ program, a program that combines the ease and speed of a computer with the control of fine detail formerly possible only when drawing by hand.
You'll find that Adobe Illustrator excels as an art production and illustration tool, whether you are a graphic designer creating original or composite artwork, a production artist designing and producing layouts for documents, an illustrator creating and previewing fine artwork, or a service bureau or printer creating color separations and printing final artwork.
Before using Adobe Illustrator, you should have a working knowledge of the Macintosh® and its operating conventions. You should know how to use a mouse and standard Macintosh menus and commands. You should also know how to open, save, and close files. If you need to review these techniques, see the documentation that came with your Macintosh.
