Acrobat

You could ask just about anyone (provided they use a computer) to describe a PDF and they would most likely tell you they provide a useful way to make small, efficient email attachments or are used by graphic designers and printers in their workflow. Of course, those descriptions would be correct - but only to a point; there's so much more to Adobe Acrobat and users are only just starting to wake up to the possibilities presented by this incredibly powerful software. If words like reliability, efficiency, collaboration, accessibility or security feature in your business then you need to take a look at how Acrobat can make you do it better. Courses are available for all-round and specialised use - if you'd like to discuss your requirements with me, please give me a call and I'd be happy to help.

Acrobat Professional

Adobe® Acrobat® 8 Professional software enables business professionals to reliably create, combine, and control Adobe PDF documents for easy, more secure distribution, collaboration, and data collection.

Create Adobe PDF documents from Microsoft Office, Outlook, Internet Explorer, Project, Visio, Access, Publisher, AutoCAD®, Lotus Notes, or any application that prints. Combine documents, drawings, and rich media content into a single, polished Adobe PDF document. Optimize file size, and arrange files in any order regardless of file type, dimensions, or orientation.

Enable users of Adobe Reader® software (version 7.0 or 8) to participate in shared reviews.Use the Start Meeting button to collaborate in real-time with the new Adobe Acrobat Connect line of products.

Easily collect and distribute forms, combine collected forms into a searchable, sortable PDF package, and export collected data into a spreadsheet. (Windows® only)

Control access to and use of Adobe PDF documents, assign digital rights, and maintain document integrity.

Acrobat 3D

Adobe® Acrobat® 3D software empowers CAD, CAM, and CAE users to convert virtually any CAD file to a highly compressed 3D PDF file to enable 3D-based collaboration and CAD data interoperability. Increase engineering productivity by sharing Adobe PDF files containing precise geometry and product manufacturing information with users of free Adobe Reader® software to mark up 3D designs, or leverage Adobe PDF files for downstream manufacturing processes without having to buy CAD translators.

This is the largest of the Acrobat family with all of the features in Acrobat Professional, with 3D capability and the Acrobat 3D Toolkit. I'm one of the very few Acrobat 3D trainers working in the UK at the current time and I can also arrange demos in certain circumstances - please contact me for details.
