Adobe: Acrobat 9 and you - Redefine the way you work

The all new Acrobat 9 offers numerous features to help you share your ideas, control your work, simplify form creation, and work better with everyone. To learn how to communicate the way you’ve always wanted, read the top ten ways to redefine the way you work.


1.    Quickly create a PDF file: With Acrobat 9, you have many brand new or radically improved options for creating PDF files. For example, you can convert any web page to a PDF document; select content from any application and paste it into Acrobat; and convert paper into a searchable PDF document.

2.    Create PDF Portfolios: Combine many file formats into a single, compressed PDF Portfolio with ease, and then choose one of many professional templates to quickly integrate content, define navigation, and polish the look. With the integration of Adobe Flash® software in both Acrobat and Adobe Reader® software, you can now include content as rich as anything that can be created with Adobe Flash.

3.    Deliver on-demand presentations: Adobe Presenter for recorded presentations is included with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software—liven up your slides with video, voice-over, demos, and interactive quizzes.

4.    Easily share video in PDF files: Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for reliable, cross-platform sharing of video, animations, and applications in PDF documents. With Acrobat 9, your audience can seamlessly view video playback, regardless of the player installed on their machine.

5.    Synchronize document views: Help colleagues, clients, and partners get on the same page at the same time with the ability to co-navigate documents. Use Acrobat.com services to enable real-time collaboration on a PDF file. It’s like being in the same room, no matter where you are.

6.    Manage and track reviews: Gain the input you need through interactive document reviews that enable participants to see and build on each other’s comments.

7.    Broaden your audience: Enable anyone using free Adobe® Reader® software (version 8 or later) to participate in shared document reviews. By extending Acrobat functionality to Reader users, you can enable virtually anyone to participate in the projects you initiate.

8.    Protect with passwords: Use passwords to help control access to PDF documents. Use permissions to restrict printing, copying, or altering. Save passwords and permissions as security policies that can be easily applied to new PDF files.

9.    Remove sensitive information: Black out sensitive text, illustrations, or other information by permanently deleting the content from the PDF document. For additional security, search PDF documents for metadata, hidden layers, and other concealed information and remove it before distributing the files.

10.    Easily create and manage electronic forms: In just a few simple steps, you can create electronic forms—with no need for assistance from IT or a designer. Make your forms from scratch, leverage an existing form template, or convert paper into a fillable form. Best of all, virtually anyone can fill in and save PDF forms using free Adobe Reader software.
