Adobe Acrobat X Pro Reviews, Specs, Pricing & Support | Spiceworks

 

This feature will be of special interest to online businesses, as Web pages can be saved into the PDF, and sent for review to management teams or clients.

This great collaboration tool will save time, and make it easier to get specific feedback on developing projects. This is a feature long overdue. And now users have the ability to go the other way and export into Microsoft format from a PDF.

Tables inside of a PDF file maintain their formatting when exported into an Excel spreadsheet. I expected a few glitches, but it worked flawlessly. This simple feature will eliminate needless data re-entry and recreation of existing documents.

A PDF Portfolio is a relatively new format that can group a set of documents into one file, without changing each individual file. Adobe’s and Nuance’s PDF printer drivers both offer control over font embedding and the downsampling and compression quality of images. Adobe goes further, though, with the option to avoid downsampling images that are just over the desired pixels per inch ppi , which can produce quantisation errors.

These ensure compliance with ISO standards designed for graphic content exchange and long-term archival. When preparing a document for mass distribution, if nothing else it’s reassuring to be using software from the inventor of the PDF format. InDesign and Quark XPress users needn’t buy Acrobat for these features, though, as these packages have similar features built in.

Acrobat Pro also includes extensive tools for online collaboration. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:. We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world’s leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives. It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program. Do you recommend it? Softonic review. Joe Wainer Updated 3 years ago. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Leave a review. While this is undeniably easy, you’re missing out on some of the best features if it’s all you use. The updates include integration with Microsoft SharePoint for collaborative PDF creations, an all-new Action Wizard that helps streamline and speed up the process of creating batches of PDFs, a commenting tool pane for easier note taking, and a new layout called Reading Mode that makes viewing and presenting PDFs easier.

While these new features are welcome additions, they are hardly game-changing and don’t make this an essential upgrade if you own an earlier version of Acrobat. All the programs and features are presented with the style, ease of use and reliability that we’ve come to expect from Adobe. By default, Quick Tools includes buttons for creating, opening, saving, sharing, and printing PDFs, adding sticky notes and highlights, and inserting, deleting, and rotating pages.

You can easily customize the Quick Tools bar to include nearly any command available in Acrobat. I would like to see the Acrobat team take a cue from distant cousin Flash and certain other Creative Suite apps by offering workspaces.

Flash, for example, offers optimized workspaces for different types of users: Designers can easily access the controls and tools they use while keeping the programmer-centric features out of the way. Thus, instead of throwing the kitchen sink at every user—or squirreling away features and commands in obscure places—the program should ask users at installation what they want to do with Acrobat.

One of the most exciting improvements in the new Acrobat is the expanded and highly customizable PDF Portfolios feature. A PDF Portfolio distributes a set of electronic files—not only PDFs but any files—in a single package offering a professional, pleasing, optionally branded experience. The PDF Portfolio, once opened in Acrobat or Reader, provides a visual interface for viewing, editing, or extracting the included documents and media. The PDF Portfolio interface is highly customizable with engaging layouts, configurable themes and colors, and background images.

Although Acrobat 9 Pro offered nine layouts, those available in Acrobat X are nicer, more modern, and through their options, actually include all of the layouts available in the last version. You can import additional layouts from Adobe as well as third parties via a button in the Create PDF Portfolio wizard.
