ADOBE ACROBAT 6.0

Most people have used one version or another of Adobe Acrobat but we now see a new version in the form of 6.0. With this, you would have an entire line of programming for all types of tasks to include creation, editing, collaboration, protection, and so on. The most basic of all is the Elements, which is made for the Windows platform only. This particular aspect of the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 package is an inexpensive way to create PDF files for the most popular software applications.

If you want an application geared specifically for business professionals, then Adobe Acrobat Standard is perfect. This particular application has undergone many changes, making the program much better for the collaboration of workflow, along with management of PDF files. Then, you have the most advanced of the three, Adobe Acrobat Professional. This application is loaded with all of the same features you would enjoy with the Standard package but with a boost in the number and options for tools and functions. This means professionals such as engineers and designers have better creative control.

What you will find with all three of the Adobe Acrobat version 6.0 applications are new menus, making working with PDF files far easier and less time-consuming. For example, rather than going through the toolbar with multiple clicks, you can simply right-click on the menu in Windows Explorer and quickly convert something from PowerPoint, Word, or Excel.

You will also find collaboration functions of both Adobe Acrobat Standard and Professional have been completely revamped. Now, the application is capable of coordinating and integrating feedback coming from various sources. In this case, a review can be automatically initiated while PDF sends it out as an email attachment or perhaps uploads it to an internet or intranet. Then, the recipient can review and mark up the document at which time Adobe returns only comments that are automatically integrated as layers onto the original document.

Then, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 has improved tracking options such as emailing every reviewer, sending review reminders, and even adding on new reviewers. At that point, the user of Adobe Acrobat has the option of generating a PDF summary, which would include lines that link each comment, as well as important passages so reviewing the document has now become easier and more efficient.

Even functions such as adding headers, footers, and watermarks are not much easier with Adobe Acrobat 6.0. Web content can even be captured by using a PDF button within Internet Explorer. For this, you could capture live links, animations, or archive pages as you see fit. The bottom line is that while Adobe Acrobat has long proven to be a highly important application for businesses, the new version bridges the gap between creativity and functionality even more, making this a must have program for any business, small or large.
