Another way you can configure Acrobat to suit your working preferences is by changing preferences. To access the preferences dialog box, choose edit preferences. Now there’s a lot of different preferences in this dialog box, I won't go into each and every one of them. I will hit on some of the highlights right now and I'll also cover preferences when they pertain to a specific topic. Let's look at a few of them here and on commenting, this is your note tool, when you are viewing comments you can choose your font and the font size and the opacity pop-up window. Digital signatures, you can change your appearances we'll get into this in the security lessons. You could also change your options for full screen, your general options, and as I mentioned before the single key accelerators to access tools. You could also enable text selection for the hand tool if you prefer. And the text selection, margin size, and so on. Identity of Internet options, multimedia options, reading options, we have trust manager options and within the trust manager for trusted documents, you can change it from trusted documents to non-trusted documents. This determines multimedia options as to whether certain players will come up, when you access PDF documents with players, with multimedia such as QuickTime movies, Windows Media Viewer, Flash Player and so on. And units and guides is another one, you can change your preference to points if you work with lot of Internet documents or inches for standard and you can change the way your layout grid looks. You can also change your preferences for updates, Acrobat will automatically search for updates from Acrobat's website, you can either change it to every month or manually. And then you have several options for web capture, that you can also use when you are capturing web pages and converting them to PDF documents. This by the way is a very powerful feature that we will devote quite a bit of time to in upcoming lessons. And that's, this is how you would set your preferences in the preferences dialog box, and again as I mentioned, there is too many to go into right now. Another popular one is spelling, for checking spelling, you can check spelling while typing, this is handy when you are commenting notes, and if you make a mistake, it will underline your text with this red color or if you prefer another color. And you can also choose your dictionary if your accessing documents in English and from Great Britain you can choose to, and you can also change the way these are arranged by moving it up. In other words, it would check for the English UK spelling first or down, And it would always check for English American spelling first. Those are just a few things you can do to set your preferences within Acrobat to suit your working style.
