ANSWER: Adobe Acrobat is a set of software programs that let you make PDF files, look at them on your computer screen, modify them to some degree, print them, and utilize them in various ways. The Adobe Acrobat software, which is sometimes referred to as just "Acrobat," was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated (www.adobe.com). With Acrobat Version 4.0 or Version 4.05, you can: create PDF files look at PDF files on the screen print PDF files examine the characteristics of PDF files search for text in PDF files make many kinds of modifications to PDF files password-protect PDF files save Web sites as PDF files create and use "Acrobat forms," which are data-entry forms that are based on the PDF format. With newer versions of Acrobat (Version 5.0 or later), you can also: easily work on a PDF file simultaneously with colleagues save PDF files in RTF format (RTF stands for "Rich Text Format." RTF files can be opened in Microsoft Word, WordPad, and other commonly used text editors.) extract images from PDF files open some types of non-PDF documents in Acrobat utilize Acrobat 5.0's batch-processing tools to improve productivity exploit XML technology to integrate back-end systems with form data and metadata that is contained in PDF files benefit from Acrobat 5.0's improved support for accessibility benefit from Acrobat 5.0's improved security features work with a rendering model that incorporates true transparency benefit from tighter browser integration ...and do many other things. For some of the tasks listed above, all you need is the Adobe Acrobat software itself. For other tasks, you need to have plug-in software that works with the Adobe Acrobat software. You can get detailed information about the Adobe Acrobat software on the Adobe Systems Web site, www.Adobe.com. Note that there is a free version of Adobe Acrobat called "Adobe Reader" that lets you do a few of the tasks listed above. You can download the free Adobe Reader software from the Adobe Systems Web site.        Click here to go to the Solution Finder • Products & Services   • Buy software   • Downloads   • Support • Mailpiece-design site   • Client list   • Company information   • Links • Free newsletter   • FAQ   • Case studies   • Contact us • News archives   • Press   • Customer testimonials   • Home    Search Copyright © 2010 Citation Software Inc. info@CitationSoftware.com 508-436-2543 www.CitationSoftware.com
