Photoshop works with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/image-resolution\">pixels<\/a>, while Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign work with vectors, so when <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/how-to-save-your-pdf\">saving a PDF<\/a> or using Photoshop, you will get a raster-based image for your final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the program was developed, it was mainly for photographers, but over time has grown to help all kinds of artists to do many different kinds of work. It\u2019s known to be so easy to use and offer so many features that it\u2019s considered a one-stop shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Photoshop is not the best program for all types of artwork and design. For example, you\u2019ll notice the difference between how a raster-based image looks and a vector-based image looks in Photoshop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&ixlib=php-3.3.0&max-h=266&max-w=555&s=37f9a293d86048cfe3d420d8d9d99faf\" alt=\"A raster image of two teal circles next to a vector image of a two teal circles.\" class=\"wp-image-27382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=555&amp;s=748be012458a37b2508fdd72542f41bd 555w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=144&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;s=3d9913b97bb0afbe8ab3b89365074c59 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"waypoint t-sink s-sink\" id=\"adobe-illustrator\">\n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe Illustrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=554&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=1024&s=6fbe5506cf1794e74db6f8a767d5d013\" alt=\"The Adobe Illustrator interface with buttons to create new projects and a list of recent documents.\" class=\"wp-image-29795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=554&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1024&amp;s=6fbe5506cf1794e74db6f8a767d5d013 1024w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=162&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;s=ab6a3d624483ae628505860827f642f8 300w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=415&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=768&amp;s=a3d0287fc9718f65b4b67a14e93e853f 768w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1200&amp;s=14fda810737a65d6c3978185a28403cd 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Illustrator works with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/vector-graphics-vs-raster-images\">vectors<\/a>, or points used to create perfectly smooth lines. This program is for creating and editing vector-based work such as graphics, logos and other design elements. Vector images are scalable to whatever size you need, small or large, but have the same clarity and resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illustrator is not ideal for creating multi-page documents for an online printer and there are drawbacks to using the program this way. For example, you aren\u2019t able to set up master pages in Illustrator as easily as in Adobe InDesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a necessary tool when you\u2019re building documents that use templates. Illustrator also doesn\u2019t allow for automated page numbers. This is another feature InDesign supports, which can be especially useful when dealing with larger documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The example below shows the InDesign master page view for setting up documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screen-Shot-2020-05-21-at-2.57.40-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&ixlib=php-3.3.0&max-h=250&max-w=743&s=e5d78894720ce85927d8e4c79490ce35\" alt=\"The InDesign master page view for setting up documents.\" class=\"wp-image-27384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screen-Shot-2020-05-21-at-2.57.40-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=743&amp;s=2941ee17e0af01dce35e2fe29e016d61 743w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screen-Shot-2020-05-21-at-2.57.40-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=101&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;s=27f16034e70d36dfb74d534ece362530 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"waypoint t-sink s-sink\" id=\"adobe-indesign\">\n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe InDesign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/user_interface.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&ixlib=php-3.3.0&max-h=353&max-w=600&s=b9dc1c57431898ac5101052b099b401b\" alt=\"A new document panel in Adobe InDesign.\" class=\"wp-image-27385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/user_interface.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=600&amp;s=91af3ae169e7abdcbd14a3c7aedb0a3e 600w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/user_interface.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=177&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;s=52329cac4be5c78ab4076e936c87dd85 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>InDesign is a desktop publishing software application for creating flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers and books.

You\u2019ve probably used it to read PDFs but not to edit or modify them. With PDFs being the universal printing software, Acrobat\u2019s Tools pane is immensely helpful for editing or modifying PDFs just like you would in design programs (just be sure to use a plugin called pitstop along with it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not recommended to create a file using the Tools pane, but it is nice for editing files and quick fixes before sending the files to print. You can see it in the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/show-accessibility-tool-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27387\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tools pane may be collapsed when you first open a document in Acrobat. To access it click on Tools in the menu bar and scroll to and select Accessibility. This will run an accessibility check on your PDFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experimenting with workspaces can help you create <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/print-ready-files\">print-ready files<\/a> easily and effectively.
