When you work with acrobat, generally a working solution begins before using the actual software. If you are an author and you want to use acrobat, the first thing you have to do is to create the content that you wish to turn into a pdf file. So that content of course can be created in several different applications. If you want to design something for print you might be using adobe Indesign or pagemaker or, Quark express or may be something as simple and straightforward as Microsoft word, or some Microsoft Office productivity software - maybe even excel or even Photoshop or illustrator. So it doesn't really matter where the content comes from but obviously before you can work with adobe acrobat, you need to develop the content and whatever the software or software solutions and collections that you need to make it happen. The next step in working with acrobat is acrobat needs a pdf file. So you need to convert that document, or collection of documents into a pdf file; and again pdf stands for portable document format, and this is the format, the file format that acrobat reader and adobe acrobat itself needs. There are many different ways of converting files into pdf formats. You can even go onto adobe's website and they have a special service there that will convert files for you. You can print your file from the software that you have originated from into a postscript file, and then use adobe acrobat distiller to convert that file into a pdf file, which can be then edited in acrobat. If you are on windows platform, you could use the pdf maker software and that comes integrated with Microsoft office suite. I have an earlier version called for my Macintosh called pdf writer and that's a type of print driver, which allows me to create pdf files from simple documents - something that I might have created in Microsoft word. So essentially you need to get your file into the pdf format before you can work with it in acrobat. Once you have the pdf file you can open it in acrobat and then begin to add several of the features and capability that acrobat is famous for. Such as you can add interactivity, you can add links - interactive links to other pages in an acrobat file, you can add web links so that you click on a web link and it sends out to the World Wide Web, or you can add links that open up other acrobat files. You can add buttons that launch a movie or even forms very much like an html form, so you can have form data be transmitted over the World Wide Web taking advantage of cgi scripts, or just simply have people fill out a form and print it out. There is a lot of different options that we have available in acrobat and obviously we are going to be talking about all of those in the upcoming movies. The final process in working with acrobat is publishing your document; so once you have added the features that you want using acrobat, you need to publish it some way and when I use the term publish I mean get it to its intended audience and of course since acrobat is designed for an electronic type of transmission since it is an electronic format of a document. Very often the most efficient way of doing it is something such as posting it on the World Wide Web or adding it as an attachment in an email document. Of course there is no reason why you couldn't simply add it to a cd-rom if you are a software publisher. Many software publishers will re-purpose their user manual as an acrobat online manual. Acrobat itself when you go to acrobat help brings up the acrobat manual so there is no printed manual with adobe acrobat you actually get an online manual. Now that's somewhat controversial because I often look at the printed manual but it's obviously a lot less expensive to add an acrobat digital electronic type of manual and you can also re-purpose this kind of content very easily using acrobat. Finally I would also say that it is not a big deal to add a last minute piece of information if you are a software publisher and it's just as easy to put that read me file if you will on the web, using adobe acrobat since you are cutting out the printing portion of publishing. So essentially it's a process of creating the content in software x, converting it into a pdf file, adding features in acrobat and then getting it out of your computer wherever you need it to go: publishing it. e x, converting it into a pdf file, adding features in acrobat and then getting it out of your computer wherever you need it to go: publishing it.
