Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat X Pro has been released and is now available.  New features:

  • Working with Office 2010--Create PDF files with a single click from within Microsoft Office 2010 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, and Access, as well as from specialized applications such as Microsoft Project and Visio.
  • Improved Scanning Results--Search and reuse document content. Scan and convert paper documents and forms to PDF. Enjoy improved optical character recognition (OCR), up to 50% smaller file sizes, greater image fidelity, and automatic color detection. 
  • Customizing PDF Portfolios--Quickly assemble content into PDF Portfolios using the new PDF Portfolio Wizard. Customize using new layouts, visual themes, and color palettes. Import custom PDF Portfolio layouts and themes developed by third-party developers and designers.
  • Action Wizard--Automate routine, multistep tasks into a guided Action. Create, manage, execute, and share a sequence of frequently used steps that can be applied to a single PDF or batches of files.
  • Quick Tools--Quickly access the tools you use most — from your favorite PDF document editing tools to your most-often used comment and markup tools — by adding them to the Quick Tools area.
  • Integration with Microsoft SharePoint--Work seamlessly with PDF files in Microsoft SharePoint. Access SharePoint from any Acrobat Open or Save dialog box. Open PDF files from SharePoint for viewing. Check them out for editing, and then check them back in (Windows only).
  • Commenting Tool Pane--Access markup tools and view comments from a single, unified tool pane. View all comments in a searchable list that can be filtered and sorted by page, author, and date.
  • Optimized Viewing Mode--Maximize your screen for optimal reading and presentation of PDF files with the new Reading Mode. Menus and panels disappear, and a transparent floating toolbar appears, to help you navigate PDF files more easily.
  • Online File Sharing--Use Adobe SendNow online services from within Acrobat to send, share, and track large files without the headaches of email size restrictions, FTP sites, and costly overnight services.
  • Improved Web Experience--Open and view online PDF documents from within websites with a streamlined loading and viewing experience.

 

    You can download a free trial from their website.  They are also offering free online live seminars about the product, and you register through their website.  (Click on the tab that says "Acrobat in Action.")
