Accelerate your workflow with
Adobe CS Live
Adobe CS Live is a set of online services that harness the connectivity of the web and integrate with
Adobe Creative Suite 5 to simplify the creative review process, speed up website compatibility testing,
deliver important web user intelligence and more, allowing you to focus on creating your most impactful
work. CS Live services are complimentary for a limited time* and can be accessed online or from within
Creative Suite 5 applications.
Adobe BrowserLab is for web designers and developers who need to preview and test their web pages
on multiple browsers and operating systems. Unlike other browser compatibility solutions, BrowserLab
renders screenshots virtually on demand with multiple viewing and diagnostic tools, and can be used with
Dreamweaver CS5 to preview local content and different states of interactive pages. Being an online service,
BrowserLab has fast development cycles, with greater flexibility for expanded browser support and updated
functionality.
Adobe CS Review is for creative professionals who want a new level of efficiency in the creative review
process. Unlike other services that offer online review of creative content, only CS Review lets you publish
a review to the web directly from within InDesign, Photoshop, Photoshop Extended, and Illustrator and view
reviewer comments back in the originating Creative Suite application.
Acrobat.com is for creative professionals who need to work with a cast of colleagues and clients in order
to get a creative project from creative brief to final product. Acrobat.com is a set of online services that
includes web conferencing, online file sharing and workspaces. Unlike collaborating via email and attend-
ing time-consuming in-person meetings, Acrobat.com brings people to your work instead of sending files to
people, so you can get the business side of the creative process done faster, together, from any location.
Adobe Story is for creative professionals, producers, and writers working on or with scripts. Story is a
collaborative script development tool that turns scripts into metadata that can be used with the Adobe
CS5 Production Premium tools to streamline workflows and create video assets.
SiteCatalyst NetAverages is for web and mobile professionals who want to optimize their projects for
wider audiences. NetAverages provides intelligence on how users are accessing the web, which helps
reduce guesswork early in the creative process. You can access aggregate user data such as browser type,
operating system, mobile device profile, screen resolution and more, which can be shown over time. The data is
derived from visitor activity to participating Omniture SiteCatalyst customer sites. Unlike other web intelligence
solutions, NetAverages innovatively displays data using Flash, creating an engaging experience that is robust
yet easy to follow.
You can access CS Live three different ways:
1 Set up access when you register your Creative Suite 5 products and get complimentary access that includes
all of the features and workflow benefits of using CS Live with CS5.
2 Set up access by signing up online and get complimentary access to CS Live services for a limited time.
Note, this option does not give you access to the services from within your products.
