I have a question about graphic packages. So far we have been able to do all of our printing directly from MapInfo to our HP Deskjet 1120c. However we are also becoming interested in producing quality output maps and images for printing on larger then 11x17 format. After downloading the AdobePS 5.1 postscript printer driver I am now able to write a file from MI to Acrobat PDF writer and produce a PDF file which can be viewed in Acrobat Reader. My question is what graphics package is most compatible to use for editing PDF files for quality output? I've read on the list people mentioning Abobe Illustrator, what about Abobe Photoshop? Which would be more suitable and more convenient for producing publishable maps or images? We also might be needing to print out raster photo images and right now we are getting by with Corel PhotoPaint 6.0 but need to upgrade. Is it necessary to have both Abobe Illustrator and another raster graphics package such as Abobe Photoshop or Corel PhotoPaint or will Abobe Illustrator be sufficient for editing pdf files and printing photo raster images in TIF format? I'm I also going to need MapPublisher with Abobe Illustrator for the MI maps or can I get by with just saving my MI maps into PDF files? As you can see I'm a newbie when it comes to graphic packages so I'm not sure what the differences are between Illustrator and Photoshop, any suggestions would be appreciated.
