Top reasons to get Adobe Illustrator CS4: +

Sophisticated vector drawing controls	Sketch naturally using the Blob Brush tool that turns strokes into a single filled object. Advanced path controls, graphic styles, and appearance editing enable intuitive vector drawing.
Integration with Adobe design applications	Share files smoothly with other Adobe professional design applications, collaborate with colleagues, and work easily among multiple tools for different media.
Advanced typography	Enjoy easy type creation and professional control with more than 80 OpenType® fonts, paragraph and character styles, paragraph composition, underlining and strikethroughs, transparent effects, and more.
Multiple artboards	Create files containing up to 100 artboards of varying sizes and displayed any way you want—overlapping, side by side, or stacked. Save, export, and print artboards independently or together. Save a selected range or all artboards as a multipage PDF file.
Live Color	Explore, apply, and control color variations using Live Color to interactively edit or replace colors. Use the Color Guide panel to quickly choose tints, shades, or harmonious combinations.
Live Trace	Quickly and accurately convert photos, scans, or other bitmap images to editable and scalable vector paths using Live Trace.
Live Paint	Easily paint closed or partially closed objects with the Live Paint Bucket, which automatically detects and corrects gaps. Interactively select colours from a Swatch panel for faster work.
Adobe PDF file creation tools	Create protected, graphic-rich PDF files with Illustrator layers retained, multiple pages, colour space and transparency handling, and ultimate prepress control, including printer's marks and bleeds.
In-panel appearance editing	Edit object characteristics directly in the Appearance panel, eliminating the need to open fill, stroke, or effects panels. Work with shared attributes and control display for faster rendering.
Gradients and transparency	Edit gradients directly on your object. Rotate them, add and adjust colours, and create elliptical gradients. You can even define the transparency of individual colour stops in a gradient.
