About Adobe Acrobat 9
Adobe Acrobat 9 allows you to rethink the term “document.” With PDF (the Portable Document Format) you have been able to collect a variety of document types together and deliver a complete, in-context package of information to tell your story. Whether it’s a class assignment package, an electronic dissertation, or a grant proposal, PDF is a great way to hand your content to others.
With Adobe Acrobat 9, you can create more appealing and dynamic PDFs. By bringing Flash technology into the PDF file format, Acrobat allows you to create a document that includes interactivity as a way to grab your audience’s attention, hold it, and truly get your point across.
Here are some new features in Adobe Acrobat 9:
- Portfolios — Package your documents (both PDF and non-PDF) to deliver them with a uniquely customized look-and-feel.
- Add videos — With direct support for Flash and Flash Video, you can make the pages of your documents jump to life.
- Collect data — With just a few clicks, you can create forms that can be filled out and saved electronically.
- Work with others — Acrobat works with www.acrobat.com, a new, free set of services from Adobe that enable true document collaboration.
- Create — Acrobat Pro Extended includes Adobe Presenter, a plug-in for PowerPoint to create content (Windows only).
