Adobe Illustrator CS5 Portable
The most dazzling part of Illustrator CS5 isn't even so much new as an expansion on something the CS4 version introduced: multiple artboards. A new artboards panel gives you instant access to all the artboards you've created (you can have up to 100, of any size, within one document), and lets you add, delete, duplicate, name, or reorder them, just as if they were layers. You can rearrange them on your document in any of four different layout styles (grid by row, grid by column, arrange by row, or arrange by column), with any spacing you specify. Better still: If you want to reuse a graphical element from one artboard in the same location on several other artboards, you can choose a single menu option (or hit Alt-Shift-Ctrl-V) and that element is copied automatically. This is a huge time-saver—and long overdue.
