DOCUMENTS
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard software enables business professionals to reliably create, combine, and control
Adobe PDF documents for easy, more secure distribution and collaboration.
Create and share Adobe PDF documents
Create an Adobe PDF document from
Microsoft Office, Outlook, Internet Explorer, or any application that prints. Easily convert and optimize documents, spreadsheets, emails, and websites to more secure Adobe
PDF files that preserve the formatting and integrity of the original files. Share information with anyone using free Adobe
Reader® software.
Combine files from multiple applications
Easily assemble documents, spreadsheets, presentations, e-mails, web pages, and forms into a single Adobe PDF document. Present files in the order you want them, regardless of file type, paper size, or orientation.
Streamline document feedback and reviews
Accelerate feedback and approvals with robust tools for initiating, managing, and tracking document reviews. Reviewers can use familiar commenting tools—including sticky notes, stamps, highlighter, pencil, strikethrough, callout, dimension lines, shapes, and clouds—for review and markup of Adobe PDF files. Merge feedback into a single file to reconcile comments.
Apply document security and controls
Control access to and use of Adobe PDF documents, assign digital rights, and maintain document integrity. Set document permissions to define whether a file can be printed or changed. Apply passwords to help restrict document access. Digitally sign documents to manage their status and help prevent changes. Certify documents to validate they came from a trusted source.
Create and reuse document control policies to precisely manage who can print, save, copy, or modify a document.
