Another very cool feature that adobe is providing people into take advantage of adobe Acrobat is, allowing them to create an adobe Acrobat pdf file online. So to find out more about that go to the adobe website - that's www.adobe.com and go to the e paper section and find your way to create pdf online and it brings you to this web page which describes what pdf online does; and it's a service that adobe provides but, you can check it out for free, create just a handful of pdf files yourself. So this way, you do not actually have to buy Acrobat you can just have adobe take care of it for you whenever you need it and just use the reader to view those pdf files; so first you need to sign up and create a account, which I have already done and now I am going to go to the section which describes what create adobe pdf online does. And they've done a nice job here of breaking it down into 3 basic situations that you can take in an advantage of. You can create a file from any type of file that Acrobat distiller supports, you could capture a web page or website using web capture, or you can also upload a scanned image maybe like fax or if somebody sent you a scanned image that you want to extract, editable text you might choose paper capture. But to give you an idea of what some of the file formats are, I'm going to choose file types and it brings up this window, describing all the different file types that create adobe pdf online can support and you can see it's a very extensive list; I think it's worth paying attention to a small note here - if you don't see your format listed here, please upload adobe postscript file, this is quite an understatement considering that they have covered all the bases, for much all the software most people most likely have. And of course if it's not there any printer driver which supports adobe postscript, which is the de Facto print page description language can write out postscript file which you can upload to the adobe create adobe pdf web site. So I will just click on paper capture here and it brings you to the page allowing you to choose what exactly it is, that you want to capture and how you want to be involved in the process. Well here is the final web page when we're ready to get down to work. So step1 is to select a file - you can click on the browse button and go find the file that you want to convert; step2 is to pick what kind of OCR language you want to use and that of course stands for optical character recognition, what type of security features do you want to enforce on this document (I will talk more about that on the section of security features); and finally how do you want to get your pdf back - do you want to wait for the file conversion to be delivered back in the browser window or emailed in a link to a pdf, or simply have your pdf emailed to you as an attachment and when you've made all those decisions click create pdf and off you go. o you as an attachment and when you've made all those decisions click create pdf and off you go.
