  Adobe Illustrator is a vector-graphics design app sold as a Creative
  Cloud subscription. The "API" surface for Illustrator is two-fold:
  (1) the Adobe ExtendScript / UXP scripting environment for desktop
  automation, and (2) Firefly Services vector / pattern generation
  endpoints for server-side use cases.
