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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored the tools needed in professional publishing. We learned about color models for paper printing and screen display. The Output Preview tool found potential problems related to ink use and coverage. We then converted color using Ink Manager. Reviewing Acrobat Distiller gave us a deeper look into the content and settings of a .pdf file before it is sent for commercial printing. Finally, we learned about the Preflight tool, which alerts us about any potential issues and offers us the possibility to correct some of those issues before printing.

The next chapter will introduce us to redacting options to preserve the privacy of documents that may need to be publicly available, and Bates numbering options. We will explore features that support a law office.
