I found this great information in the Acrobat forum on the Adobe site. Have you ever been bothered about the fact that at the bottom of the page is the path of the document and at the top left is the name of the document? These annoying automatically generated headers and footers can be removed. However, I thought I would add a little note here about html documents. They work great on all documents but html documents which is not surprising. Other changes to increase the workflow have also been added. The page has been redesigned allowing for headers and footers to be set up simultaneously.
While going through some of the new or enhanced features, I thought I would play with the Headers and Footers option which allows for these to be displayed on documents. Now you can do more with PowerPoint and Excel, Mail merge to PDF within Word, convert email messages or complete folders to PDF from Outlook or Lotus Notes, etc.
I find I use this feature often when I want to make sure that I have included information in a PDF or in a group of PDFs.Ī number of new features have been added or enhanced that deal with Microsoft programs and Lotus Notes. Searching has been augmented and is now more robust. Acrobat Distiller, for example, is now under Print Production. One of these is to choose what tools you want on the various toolbars.Ī number of the drop down menus from the top toolbar have been changed.
You can customize the work space in a number of ways. I clicked on "Create PDF" and another help screen opened up. Acrobat 8 was released earlier this year before the release of any of the Adobe CS3 packages.Īs I stated in the beginning, working with Acrobat 8 (I am only using the Professional version) is easy, especially if you are new to it. The list of new features is so long that I'll just touch on a few. To look at the different features, click on "List." There are other Acrobat products with varying degrees of features. Some people might think that Acrobat 8 Professional is only necessary in a business environment, but if you are doing any work with sending documents, editing, commenting, etc. A lot has been added to Acrobat 8 making it much easier to use and a much fuller package. He has Acrobat 7 Professional, and I find myself telling him to look for this or that only to find that it is not in Acrobat 7. Since I have been working with a friend of mine who is putting out a newspaper, I have used Acrobat 8 Professional a lot recently. Of all the programs in the Adobe CS3 software packages, Acrobat 8 Professional is the one that is the easiest to use if you want to just use it in its bare bones form, ie., standard PDF creation.
