We’re very excited to announce the release of a new set of Adobe Illustrator features exclusively to Adobe Creative Cloud members and customers subscribed to Illustrator. These new features are being released to Creative Cloud members now, delivering on our promise that Creative Cloud members will get early VIP access to our latest innovations, including new features in our desktop software.
The three new features are focused on improving productivity, and will let you automatically package Illustrator projects and their related files for fast and accurate hand-offs, quickly unembed images that have been placed and embedded into Illustrator files, and more efficiently access information in linked files. To get these updates, just open Illustrator, and from the main menu, choose Help > Updates. Or download Illustrator for the first timehere.
To learn more visit the Illustrator or Creative Cloud product pages. If you aren’t a Creative Cloud member, or are signed up for the free Creative Cloud membership and want access to these Illustrator features, you can become a paid member here. Current Creative Suite customers can join Creative Cloud and get 40% off their first year of membership, and pay just US$29.99 per month for the first 12 months. See if you qualify.

Hey Terry. Concise and helpful cast as always. Cheers
What’s Adobe’s thinking behind excluding customers like me who bought boxed editions of CS rather than cloud versions?
It seems mean considering these (sweet) updates could be part of the usual updates. Why no love for the box buyers?
Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
As far as your question is concerned, nothing has really changed for “box” buyers. You buy what’s in the box at that time and you get the new stuff in your next box. Due to the rules of revenue recognition we are not able to add new features to “boxed” software for free and rather than charge for these regular updates they will likely be rolled into the next major upgrade.
Oh well if it’s against the ‘rules’ I wouldn’t want anyone getting into trouble (ha). Seriously though, it would at least be nice if they were available as a ‘bolt-on’ for a few dollars. Thanks again.
Hey Terry! Great stuff!
Do you happen to know if this extra content is available in some way for education customers that don’t subscribe to Creative Cloud? Would be a shame to not be able to show this great stuff to our more than 400 graphic design students.
Thanks!
Thanks, but not to my knowledge.
Well that’s great. Thanks Adobe!
