As it has become standard at this time, the
updated Adobe of Acrobat upgrades main Creative Suite. Acrobat Pro XI is
available to be rent through the Creative Cloud or as an independent shopping,
while its predecessor, Acrobat X Pro, is packed with CS 5.5 and 6.0.

However, for some users, especially those
who are responsible for the design and evaluation of PDF, there is some good
reason to upgrade. Most of them are found in the Tools section.
Easier to edit
For example, when you click "Edit Text
& Images", every content in the PDF is divided into frames which can
be adjusted. Clicking any frame will bring a cross at the top of arrow allows
you to move content, with Smart Guides to help you organize.
A caret is automatically applied when you
click in the first frame, allows you to remove, replace or add text; framework
can also be resized. With each change, the text automatically flows
accordingly.
You can add to the page a new block of text
or images, or swap the image by using the Replace Image. In addition, there is
a basis for formatting text and image content, with the tools available to
context-aware. A group of options extending format are available by clicking
the Plus button.
New editing capabilities allow you to
perform an action to find and replace text throughout the PDF, even though it
only offers a replacement of every word. The text is replaced by using the
currently selected font in the Format palette, making the process more slowly.
There is a controversial issue that you
cannot edit PDF imported in Adobe InDesign if you do not use plug-ins. It has
been addressed in part by this new workflow. Of course, the next thing you will
want to know is that you can prevent anyone messing up your layout.
Fortunately, Protection menu at the bottom of the Tools area provides quick
access to Restrict Editing tool, which allows you to set up and immediately
apply the encryption of password to prevent anyone from editing the document.
Tools area also has the "Export File
To ..." which allows you to convert PDF to PowerPoint documents. Document
format is still intact, so this feature will save time in recreating or
retyping the information for one slide show. The resulting file can be edited
in PowerPoint as it is a natural performance.
Guided Actions is another enhancement
provided in the Tools area, and walk you through the popular PDF workflow
management. You can use the presets or set Actions for other people to follow
by dragging and dropping the tools in the Action pane Step.
Integration with Adobe's EchoSign
technology has enhanced workflow of Acrobat's digital signature. The signature
typed, handwritten and image-based is available, as well as the signature
certificated. You can send one document signed through EchoSign or save the
file in the cloud. You can also specify that the document must be signed by other
people - the system can monitor the process and alert you when the file
received electronic signature.
Accessing the cloud has also been
integrated into the Open box / Save on most windows XI and Adobe Acrobat
Reader. This means that any document library in SharePoint and Office 365 can
be accessed as if it were stored on an external hard drive, with
check-in/check-out utility for the file shared.
There is also greater support for creating
and processing forms through the desktop version of Forms Central. It is very
fast and efficient, with an extensive range which is easy-to-customize. Forms
Central allows the current form to be scanned and converted into PDF format.
PDF creation and collection
Create options have been expanded, and now
you can combine multiple file types in a PDF or Portfolio. Acrobat Pro XI can
also collect Microsoft Office files (as long as the software is installed on
your computer) and standard image formats. The search and editing new content
tools is also present.
During the conversion process, Acrobat
temporarily open the main application to save the individual documents in PDF,
which does not seem to work with older versions of Microsoft Word.
Capability of PDF creation by one-button
from Microsoft Office is available for Windows. Mac users should select Save As
PDF in the Print dialog box or install CUPS-PDF driver.
