Book Description

For some users, PDF is the final output for reports, journals, or white papers. Others may need to collect and organize information using PDF forms. Graphic designers, editors, and writers need to present drafts for reviews and receive feedback. Laws in many countries stipulate that access to information must not be restricted to readers with physical impairments, requiring that PDF publications be accessible to assistive devices. Some documents must be available for many years or decades, thus setting up archive features requires consideration. All these scenarios involve some features of Acrobat.

This guide is designed with professionals in mind who likely already use Adobe Acrobat Pro. Many ideas, features, and online services are sorted and organized so that you can easily find topics relevant to your work and choose which features you really need.

Each chapter can be considered on its own, with tools and functions explained through examples and step-by-step guidance. Information in some chapters may build on previous knowledge, but you are not expected to have an advanced level of prior experience.

By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of what PDF files are, what they are not, and how Acrobat makes it possible to work in a way that you will never miss good old ink and paper.

What you will learn

• Use Adobe Acrobat Pro efficiently through shortcuts and preferences
• Expand knowledge of functions that you likely use already
• Understand the connection between PDFs, Acrobat, and other applications
• Unique settings in Adobe InDesign to create high quality fully featured PDFs
• Legal concerns for information published in a digital format such as accessibility compliance, document security, and integrity, copyright protection
