most applications. However, some applications, such as InDesign, accept PDF
or AICB (Adobe Illustrator Clipboard) data. PDF preserves transparency;
AICB lets you specify whether you want to preserve the overall appearance
of the selection or copy the selection as a set of paths (which can be useful in
Photoshop and InDesign).
You may also want set the preferences for how anchors and handles appear
onscreen (choose Illustrator > Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display
in Mac OS or choose Edit > Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display in
Windows).
Color management
The Adobe color management system helps you maintain the appearance of
colors as you import images, edit or transfer documents between Adobe appli-
cations, and output your finished compositions.
By default, color management is turned on in Adobe Creative Suite 3 compo-
nents. You can synchronize color settings to provide consistent display for RGB
and CMYK colors no matter which application you view them in.
To change color settings, choose Edit > Color Settings. To ensure that your
Adobe Creative Suite components are synchronized using the same color
settings for consistent color management, choose Edit > Creative Suite Color
Settings in Adobe Bridge and select an appropriate profile.
