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.

Document review and collaboration

In a demanding workflow, graphic designers and editors work together using InDesign and InCopy. Edit changes and tracking of those changes are done collaboratively with great efficiency. However, not all design houses adopt InCopy as part of their publication production tools. Yet, it is always necessary to review all projects, most of the time in a very short turnaround time.

InDesign and Acrobat now provide tools for closer-than-ever collaboration, using both email-based and shared review functions. We discussed tools and methods for document reviews in Chapter 6, Using Acrobat in A Document Review Cycle. In this section, we will focus on an InDesign approach and how using PDF comments and a shared review allows many editors to add markup and comments directly to a source InDesign file.

Important note

At the time of writing, the auto-edit function is available only in an email-based review. For more information on the overall shared review...
