How to Use Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

Adobe Acrobat Professional is a commercial program from Adobe software that allows for the creation and editing of documents and forms in Adobe’s portable document format (PDF). It should not be confused with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which only allows for the viewing and printing of PDF documents. Adobe Acrobat Pro’s three main uses are creating PDFs, creating forms and reviewing documents.

    Creating PDFs

  1. Step 1

    Start Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  2. Step 2

    Select “File” then “Create PDF.”

  3. Step 3

    Choose the type of source document from which the PDF will be created. If the PDF will consist of a single file, select “From File” and choose the appropriate file. If it comes from more than one file, choose “From Multiple Files.” If the PDF is of a web page, choose “Web Page,” and if it will come from a scanned document, choose “From Scanner.”

  4. Step 4

    Select the file(s) or web page to be turned into a PDF and click “Open” in the case of a single document or “Create” in the case of a web page or multiple documents. For a scanned document choose the appropriate scanner, and select “Scan.”

    5. Creating Forms

  5. Step 1

    Start Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  6. Step 2

    Choose “Form” then “Create New Form.”

  7. Step 3

    Choose “Create Form From Template” from the list of options presented.

  8. Step 4

    Choose the type of form that most closely resembles the needed form from the list presented.

  9. Step 5

    Edit the form as if it were a document in Word or a desktop publishing program. Click on text boxes to edit the text in them, and choose “Insert,” then “Standard” or “Insert,” then “Custom” to view lists of objects that can be placed in the document. To move elements around on the page, select them, hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse.

    10. Reviewing Documents

  10. Step 1

    Start Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  11. Step 2

    Open a PDF.

  12. Step 3

    Select “Tools,” “Comment & Markup,” then “Show Comment & Markup Tool Bar.”

  13. Step 4

    Click the appropriate tool for making edits, and then click on the document. Acrobat allows for many types of document markup, including highlighting, text edits, callouts and notes, all of which can be activated by selecting the appropriate tool and clicking on the document. To hide edits, select “Show” then “Hide All Comments” in the Comment & Markup Tool Bar.
