Chapter SEVENTEEN. Becoming an Acrobat Power User
This entire book is devoted to giving you tips and tricks to make your work with Acrobat faster and more efficient. This chapter takes you one step further. It shows you how to use some of Acrobat's advanced functions to help you become an Acrobat power user. Have you ever noticed how some of your actions are repetitious? If you are working on a big project you may have to repeat the same processes, such as adding page numbers, over and over. Rather than opening dialogs and choosing the same settings repeatedly, you can use a batch sequence to do the job for you. Can't find the precise process you want to use? You can write one of your own. Acrobat includes a specialized type of batch process for print production as well as a method for processing files in Distiller using a watched folder system. Acrobat also contains some specialized tools for evaluating your document's content and decreasing file size, helping you create files that are quicker and easier to use. Another timesaving feature Acrobat offers is the ability to capture the content from a scanned document and convert it into words and images, so you don't have to rebuild the source documents manually. You'll learn how to use this feature, too. |
