Designers are always looking for new ways to make their portfolios stand out from the pack. One method that Adobe is promoting is the new feature in Acrobat 9 for PDF Portfolios which allows users to organize a variety of files and compress them as portable PDF documents.

Adobe has just announced that the newest versions of several Creative Suite titles, namely, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Soundbooth, can now be downloaded for a test run.

There’s a catch. If you’re not currently using the CS3 versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks, the trial period for these programs will end within 48 hours. Otherwise you can request serial numbers to use them during Adobe’s prerelease period.
