Adobe Acrobat

Description

Adobe Acrobat DC can be used to create, edit, and manage PDF (Portable Document Format). In contrast to the free Adobe Reader program, Acrobat gives you the full capability to control the content of .PDF files. Acrobat DC is available as Acrobat Standard DC, which is for Windows only, and Acrobat Pro DC, which is available for Windows and macOS.

Acrobat DC is commonly used to create professional documents, such as employment applications, legal documents, reports, essays, and business forms. Adobe's OCR technology enables accurate scanning, indexing, and searching of paper documents. Acrobat can scan paper documents and forms and convert them into PDF files. It also correctly detects text, font, colors, images, and other information. Acrobat can also create PDF Portfolios, which may contain multiple documents, 2D and 3D images, video, and maps. PDF Portfolios may be used for previewing and editing webpage mock-ups, displaying CAD image collections, or presenting scripted marketing materials. Digital PDF forms can also be saved with editable fields. These can be filled out in Acrobat or Acrobat reader and saved.

Acrobat DC offers a Home screen that allows you to view recent opened PDF files as well as documents that have been shared with other people for review, signing, and viewing. The program offers many tools for working with your PDF files. You can create a new document, merge files into one PDF, make changes to scanned documents, and many other options. To protect the contents of a document and verify its author, can password-protect it, encryption and digitally signed it. Any document modifications can be reviewed with revision control, a feature that displays colored highlights for items that have been inserted, replaced, deleted, or moved within the document.

Adobe Acrobat is a great program for professionals across all industries. Acrobat can also be used at home to scan documents and save files in a standard format so that they can be shared with others. No matter where you use it, Adobe Acrobat DC will prove an essential resource.
