In-Depth Information
When you save a document, you have the ability to save more than just Illustrator inform-
ation. You can save copyright, camera, and even image category information. This data
is saved with the file as metadata in the XMP format (Extensible Metadata Platform) in
Illustrator files, and can be recognized and accessed by any application, such as Adobe
Bridge, that reads XMP metadata. The Document Info panel allows you to view inform-
ation about a selected object or the entire document. You can display information about
graphic styles, brushes, spot colors, patterns, gradients, fonts, linked images, and embed-
ded images by using the Options menu.
Using Spell Check
There's nothing more embarrassing than creating a document that contains misspelled
words. Although you wouldn't use Illustrator if all you needed to do was create a text doc-
ument, Illustrator includes a fully functional spell checking system, which at least lets you
make sure all of your words are spelled correctly.
