Summary
This chapter offers you a general introduction for working in both Acrobat Standard and Acrobat
Professional and helps you understand the environment, the user interface, and some of the many new fea-
tures added to the commercial Acrobat products. At the very least, you should know how to go about find-
ing help when you first start working in the program. Some of the more important points discussed in this
chapter include the following:
n
Adobe Acrobat is a multifaceted program designed to provide solutions for many different busi-
ness professionals. Several types of Acrobat viewers exist, ranging in features to suit different user
needs. The most sophisticated of the three viewers is Acrobat Professional, now in version 8.
Acrobat Standard offers fewer tools and menu commands than Acrobat Professional and is now
available only on Windows.
n
PDF, short for Portable Document Format, was developed by Adobe Systems and was designed to
exchange documents between computers and across computer platforms while maintaining file
integrity.
n
The PDF language format has changed version numbers along with the Acrobat viewers. The cur-
rent PDF version is 1.7.
n
Tasks are performed through the use of menus, tools, and palettes that can be accessed through
mouse selections and keyboard shortcuts.
n
The extensive list of tools appears in an abbreviated form when you open Acrobat and view the
default toolbars. You can open additional toolbars from menu commands or the new More Tools
window. You can dock toolbars in the Toolbar Well or float them around the Acrobat window.
n
Palettes are similar to toolbars in that they can be docked and undocked from a well called the
Navigation pane. Palettes contain pull-down menus, and some palettes contain tools.
n
You can customize the Acrobat workplace to suit your work style through the use of different
preference choices. When preferences, palettes, and toolbars are changed from their default views,
the new views are saved when you quit your Acrobat session. They remain unchanged until you
change them again or reset them to defaults.
n
Acrobat Professional provides you extensive assistance through the use of help documents. You
can gain immediate help on selected topics through choices in the How To pane or by expanding
your list of categories to seek help in the Complete Acrobat 8.0 Help window. In addition to help
documents, Adobe sponsors the development of local Adobe Acrobat user groups worldwide. To

n
Preferences are settings that apply globally to Acrobat and influence the behavior of tools and
menu commands.
