A minor but crucial update adding the ability to place EPS files and work with multiple artboards in a single document (a feature that would return decades later).
A workhorse release. Illustrator 10 introduced symbols (reusable objects that update globally), live pathfinder effects (non-destructive Boolean operations), envelope distort , and SVG export . It also added liquify tools (warp, twirl, pucker). This version matured Illustrator into the powerhouse we recognize today.
The first Universal Binary for Intel Macs. Key additions: crop area tool , isolated editing mode (edit inside groups without unlocking), document profiles , and a cleaner UI with better color management. It was faster, leaner, and rock solid.
