Installation help by phone is available only via a toll telephone number, for instance. However, Adobe's four support plans, from Bronze to Platinum, are costly.

These resources are well-organized and thorough. Service and support Adobe's Web site support pages include Flash tutorials, user forums, FAQs, and a searchable knowledge base. Redaction tools in the Pro editions, a key selling point of Acrobat 8, will offer searches for numeric patterns in addition to multiple words and phrases.Ī company could, for example, find every accidental mention of a Social Security number or top-secret product being developed and black out the potential leaks from a PDF with one blow. New comparison features, not in Acrobat Standard, highlight the edits between versions of a document. Locking down PDFs can't get much more thorough, given the digital signatures and metadata removal also available. Acrobat 9's security enhancements enable users to add bit encryption, which online banks use, for PDFs. Responses can be sorted, filtered, and exported to spreadsheets. Potentially delighting conference planners, a forms-tracking dashboard will show, for example, the status of responses to a mass party invitation e-mail and let a user send reminders to guests. For creating online forms, Acrobat 9 adds intelligence to recognize content for conversion to fillable fields. Mapping features only in Acrobat Pro Extended 9 preserve geospatial coordinates and enable users to mark locations and measure distances.
