MultiAd has completely rewritten the graphic engine for Creator Professional 8.5, providing many benefits including soft shadows that output in CMYK and more flexibility in file formats and features. Other key improvements for 8.5 include:

• Adobe Photoshop and PNG images with transparencies supported
• New options in Make Matrix to make each new box the same size as the original, make all elements fit within the bounds of the original and new order options for text box linking
• Border editor with custom border creation, CMYK borders and editing border elements
• Ability to both copy/paste and find/replace elements with specific attributes
• Full support for OpenType font features
• Compatibility with the newest operating systems
• Drag-and-click measurement tool for distance, point locations and the angle between any two points
• Automatic CMYK-RGB conversions so users can place any color format and Creator will automatically adjust it for the intended output
• Many shortcuts, keystrokes and feature options to improve productivity, such as changing element sizes by percentages and proportional resizing defaults

Testing guidelines: It’s important to make sure everything prints properly during the beta testing phase. Even though it looks good on screen, please print your tests, too.
