In Acrobat X Tips and Tricks, Anne-Marie Concepción uses her intimate knowledge of Acrobat to reveal the application's hidden gems. The course goes beyond the manual to reveal the secret techniques of Acrobat power users: editing text and graphics directly within the PDF, adding the Typewriter tool to the toolbar, creating a better default preview for portfolios, outputting double-sided pages and printer spread booklets, and converting JavaScript into one-click actions. These tools can be put to use immediately on the PDFs that users receive and distribute every day. Exercise files are included with the course.
Topics include:
- Discovering secret toolbars
- Hiding the superfluous form bar
- Mastering the Typewriter and Text Box tools
- Importing new artwork into an existing PDF
- Creating quick and useful signature stamps
- Making PDF portfolios backward compatible
- Searching text in a scanned PDF
