Adobe Acrobat X available in SA
Workgroup IT has announced the local availability of the Adobe Acrobat X software family: Acrobat X, Reader X, the Acrobat X Suite as well as a new document service available at acrobat.com.
Companies today need to work with their customers and partners in multiple time zones, languages and cross-functional teams, said Bernadine Botha, business unit manager at Workgroup IT.
She said that seamless, fluid content creation and collaboration is critical to how organisations use, repurpose and share information. It is no longer a “nice to have,” she added.
“Acrobat X delivers new guided Actions to simplify multi-step document preparation and publishing processes; completely new customisation capabilities in PDF Portfolios unify multiple file types into a compelling presentation,” she says.
“New document services available at Acrobat.com give individuals the ability to collaborate more efficiently and integration with Microsoft SharePoint enables consistency of PDF documents across the enterprise; re-use of content is now easier with higher quality export to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.”
Some of Acrobat X’s new features include:
- Automate routine, multi-step tasks with new guided Actions and share them with co-workers and collaborators. According to Adobe, this reduces the burden of training.
- New layouts, visual themes and colour palettes.
- Microsoft SharePoint integration. Check-in, check-out PDF files for reviewing and editing shared documents.
- Display the most commonly used tools all in one pane with the updated user interface.
- Commenting is now available in Adobe Reader X, with Sticky Notes and Highlighter tools available to all users.
- Protected Mode security allows for safer viewing of PDF files with new in Reader X, said Adobe.
