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.

To understand how the Articles panel works, we need to also review the concept of an InDesign story.

A story in InDesign is text continuously flowing in a single text frame or in many frames that are threaded/linked. Take a look at the following screenshot:

Figure 10.11 – An InDesign story placed in text frames

If text fits entirely inside one frame, the outport highlighted at the bottom-right area of the left frame will be empty, and the End of the Story symbol will display, as highlighted in the bottom-left corner of the frame. Contrast this with the lower frame, where there is too much text to fit the frame; therefore, it flows to the next linked frame...
