Title: Using Adobe Acrobat 7.0


1
Using Adobe Acrobat 7.0
  • Colorado State University
  • Cooperative Extension
  • Technology Unit

2
Basics
  • What is Adobe Acrobat?, Navigating in Adobe
    Reader, Using Full Screen mode in Adobe Reader

3
What is Adobe Acrobat?
  • Creates .pdf files
  • pdf Portable Document Format
  • Used to distribute forms and documents in a
    standardized format
  • Can be read by free (and widely distributed)
    Adobe reader
  • Security tools
  • Restrict who can see the document
  • Digitally sign/certify documents
  • Restrict printing (no printing, or low resolution
    only)
  • Restrict text/images from editing, copying and
    pasting
  • Particularly useful for web and email

4
What is Adobe Acrobat (cont)?
  • Original document is authored in another format,
    then converted
  • Office apps Word, Wordperfect, PowerPoint,
    Excel, Outlook
  • Graphics .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .ng, .eps, .psd
  • .html (single web page, or entire web sites)
  • Convert your own .html (to preview site for
    client)
  • Pull sites directly off the web by typing web
    address into Acrobat
  • Combine multiple documents (and multiple document
    types) into one .pdf document

5
3 types of Acrobat
  • Adobe Reader
  • Formerly called Acrobat Reader
  • Free, widely distributed
  • Can read .pdfs, but not create
  • If you offer .pdfs, always offer the link to the
    free reader as well (www.adobe.com logo found
    there as well for an image link)
  • Adobe Acrobat (standard)
  • Converts most office applications and graphics to
    .pdf
  • Supports some multimedia, downloads websites
  • About 45 at CSU Software Cellar
  • Adobe Acrobat Pro
  • Interactive forms (buttons, checkboxes, text
    fields)
  • Supports more multimedia
  • MS Visio, MS Project, AutoCAD, Mac pict format
  • About 69 at CSU Software Cellar

6
Navigating in Adobe Reader
  • Navigation tools in Reader
  • Bookmark and page tabs at left side
  • Page toolbar at bottom
  • Zoom toolbar at top
  • Single/Continuous/Facing options at lower right
  • Full Screen View for presentation (lower left)
  • Scrollbars
  • Hand tool (drag doc from page to page)
  • Good idea to preview a doc in Reader, NOT
    Acrobat, to get a sense of what the end-user will
    see

7
Full Screen View in Adobe Reader
  • Mimics basic PowerPoint presentation
  • Add limited transitions and auto-timing
  • In Acrobat
  • Page tabgtOptionsgtPage Transitions
  • Set Effect, speed of effect
  • Auto-flip to create a self timed show
  • All pages, or a range
  • Hit Full Screen button to play slideshow

8
Creating a .pdf
  • Converting Microsoft Office documents, non-Office
    documents, images, multiple documents, websites

Converting Microsoft Office Documents
  • Acrobat will add PDFMaker to your toolbar upon
    installation (unless you decline)
  • Three buttons
  • Create .pdf
  • Create .pdf and email
  • Create .pdf and Send for Review
  • If you dont see PDFMaker
  • R-click near toolbars and check PDFMaker toolbar
  • If no PDFMaker toolbar option HelpgtAboutgtDisable
    d ItemsgtChoose AcrobatgtEnable button

10
PDF Conversion Settings
  • After install, should see Adobe PDF menu listed
  • Same 3 options as toolbar, and a fourth Change
    Conversion Settings
  • Each MS Office Application has similar - not
    identical - set of Conversion Settings

11
PDF Conversion Settings (cont)
  • These 4 are common to most MS Office Apps
  • Attach Source File to PDF
  • Adds source file (e.g. Word, Excel) to .pdf as an
    attachment
  • Nice option, but obviously increases file size
  • Add Bookmarks to PDF
  • Good option for PPoint and Excel
  • Adds bookmark for each slide/sheet in document
  • Can seem a little haphazard in Word
  • Creates a bookmark for each Heading and/or Style
  • Often easier to create Word bookmarks in Acrobat
  • Add Links to PDF
  • Links in native app. a better look and feel
    than adding them in Acrobat
  • Enable Accessibility and Reflow with Tagged PDF
  • Allows re-flowed text for PDAs, text-to-speech,
    etc.
  • Only downside is a larger file size

12
Converting Word to PDF
  • Conversion settings specific to Word
  • Word Tab
  • Convert displayed comments to notes
  • Convert cross-references, TOC to links
  • Convert footnote/endnote links
  • Bookmarks tab
  • Choose which headings and styles convert to
    bookmarks
  • A good choice IF your are already working with
    styles and headings to denote sections
  • Otherwise, do it in Acrobat

13
Creating Bookmarks in Word
  • Assign a heading to every section in doc that
    require a bookmark
  • You can convert text to a heading quickly using
    the Format painter
  • Apply style to text once, select text, click
    Format Painter TWICE
  • Go through document selecting text it will
    convert to that heading

14

    for this!
  • Convert hidden slides
  • Slide-sorter view you can hide slides to
    avoid deleting them
  • PDF Layout based on PowerPoint printer settings
  • Important for printing Notes page, Handouts
  • After settings set, set printer to Adobe PDF

15
Converting Excel to PDF
  • Conversion settings specific to Excel
  • Convert Entire Workbook is an option in the Adobe
    PDF menu
  • Each worksheet has a bookmark
  • Convert comments to notes
  • Fit worksheet to single page (grayed out if
    Convert Entire Workbook is selected)
  • Good option if doc is likely to be printed (as
    Excel worksheets can be hard to print and show
    all rows/columns)

16
Converting Publisher to PDF
  • Specific to Publisher
  • Preserve Spot Color
  • All black and white except for chosen spot colors
  • Print Crop Marks
  • Where paper is cut
  • Allow Bleeds
  • Color extending beyond edge to allow for
    variations in cutting
  • Preserve Transparency
  • For .gif, .png, .tiff
  • These are options for high-end printers
  • If you are using a professional printer, call and
    ask them what they require

17
Converting Access to PDF
  • Specific to Access
  • Only 2 options in Conversion Settings
  • Attach source file
  • Create bookmarks
  • Tables can only be converted one at a time
  • Multiple reports can be converted simultaneously
  • Adobe PDF menugtConvert multiple reports to single
    PDF

18
Combining Multiple Access Reports
  • Pretty simple add reports from left column to
    right column, arrange, Convert to PDF

19
Converting Outlook to PDF
  • Good way to archive emails
  • Includes attachments
  • 4 bookmarks created, sorting emails by date,
    sender, subject, folders
  • Can also combine emails with other documents
  • Include email exchanges discussing document along
    with document itself
  • Select messages or folders to archive, then
    convert

20
Converting non-MS Office documents
  • Two methods
  • Open document in native application
  • FilegtPrintgtChoose Adobe PDF as printer
  • It wont print the file, merely convert
  • Good for Photoshop, Wordperfect, etc.
  • Works for Office Apps too
  • Open Adobe Acrobat
  • Create PDFgtFrom File
  • Browse to the file

21
Combining documents
  • Open Acrobat
  • Create PDFgtFrom Multiple Documents
  • Can be a mix of document formats (VERY handy)
  • Browse to files, select, arrange, click OK

22
Converting Images
  • .jpeg, .gif, .png, .tiff, .bmp, .eps
  • Dont need a native application, because there is
    none
  • Open Acrobat
  • Create PDFgtFrom FilegtBrowse to image
  • Create PDFgtFrom Multiple FilesgtBrowse to images
    and create a montage that can work as a slideshow
    in Full Screen Mode

23
Converting websites to PDF
  • Convert either existing website, or html
  • Second option a good way to preview a website for
    client without actually publishing the site to a
    server
  • Open Acrobat
  • Create PDFgtFrom Website
  • Type in URL or browse to .html file

24
The Convert Website Dialogue Box
  • Get entire site
  • Rarely a good idea unless it is small and self
    contained (i.e. no links to other sites)
  • 3 ways to limit download
  • Get only 1 or 2 levels
  • Stay on same path (will remain within root
    folder)
  • Stay on same server (will go outside root folder
    but only convert links to sites on same server)

25
Converting Websites Helpful Hints
  • If you need to capture large sections of a
    sprawling site or one that links to many other
    places, capture small sections or individual
    pages and pull them together with Create
    PDFgtMultiple files
  • Use the Settings button, Page Layout tab to size
    and scale large web pages
  • Links in document still active for downloaded
    pages

26
Converting a website 3 examples
  • Create PDFgtFrom Website
  • http//www.ext.colostate.edu
  • Good example of a large, sprawling site Get
    Entire Site would be downloading for days
  • 1 level gets you only the current page
  • 2 levels pull ALL the links from this page,
    including navigation buttons at top (65 pages
    total)
  • Stay On Same Path/Server not very useful as most
    links are ON this path (SOSP gives a 47 page doc)
  • http//www.radon.org/
  • Good example of a Get Entire Site candidate
  • Only links are to meaningful docs related to
    Radon
  • Includes slideshow downloaded intact
  • Browse to kiddos/kiddos.htm
  • Converted from local site, not from server

27
Adding Navigation Aids
  • Creating Bookmarks, Links, and Hotspots

28
Adding bookmarks
  • Often easier to add Bookmarks in Acrobat rather
    than native application
  • Not just a navigation tool also shows structure
    of document at a glance
  • Use Table of Contents as guide
  • Go to page you want to bookmark
  • Choose view (width, height, zoom in to specific
    object)
  • Bookmarks panegtNew Bookmark icon
  • Name bookmark
  • Drag up or down in order
  • Drag under and to the right to nest it within a
    larger bookmark

29
Adding Bookmarks (cont)
  • Set view of page for bookmark - Fit Width or
    Height, zoom in to a specific feature
  • Often looks nice to have first page at fit width,
    ret of doc at fir height
  • Drag bookmarks around after creation to set order
  • Nest bookmarks within other bookmarks by dragging
    child under and just to the right of parent

30
Bookmark Options

  • Wrap long bookmarks
  • Use Properties to change color and style (bold,

    choose Create Link

32
Adding text links (cont)

    other docs, or spots in this doc)
  • Next takes you to URL box
  • For email, mailto followed by address

33
