Overview of this book

Adobe Acrobat can help you solve a wide variety of problems that crop up when you work with PDF documents on a daily basis. The most common file type for business and communication, this compact portable document format is widely used to collect as well as present information, as well as being equipped with many lesser-known features that can keep your content secure while making it easy to share. From archive features that will keep your documents available for years to come to features related to accessibility, organizing, annotating, editing, and whatever else you use PDFs for, Acrobat has the answer if you know where to look. Designed for professionals who likely already use Adobe Acrobat Pro, this guide introduces many ideas, features, and online services, sorted and organized for you to easily find the topics relevant to your work and requirements. You can jump to any chapter without sifting through prior pages to explore the tools and functions explained through step-by-step instructions and examples. The information in some chapters may build on existing knowledge, but you are not expected to have an advanced level of prior experience. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of the many capabilities of PDFs and how Acrobat makes it possible to work in a way that you will never miss good old ink and paper.

Adobe Acrobat online services

Browser-based use of Acrobat features is a new approach to working with .pdf files on any device. Users do not have to install Acrobat at all on any device that they use; functions are available in a browser window with Acrobat-like tools and a workspace. The interface is in the process of being fully developed, but the service is already available for PDF shared review collaboration, mostly used by editors for commenting and feedback on a publication. Working with tools feels similar to Acrobat on desktop.

Since interaction with a .pdf document happens entirely in a browser session, reliable and continuous internet access is necessary. While working with tools, you will also experience a bit of lag in responses. Here is a screenshot of tools for reviewing:
