Features:

Convert or scan to PDF

No matter what type of content you need to convert or scan to PDF — paper documents, email trails, photos, spreadsheets, websites, and more — do it quickly and confidently with Adobe® Acrobat® X software. Use enhanced OCR capabilities to make scanned text searchable, allowing you to easily check and fix suspected errors.

• PDF file conversion
Create PDF documents from within any application that prints, including one-button conversion in Windows® from Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, and Access, as well as from Firefox and Lotus Notes — without leaving your authoring application.

• Scanning to PDF
Scan and convert paper documents and forms to PDF. Make scanned text searchable automatically with OCR, then check and fix suspected errors. Search and reuse document content.

• HTML to PDF
With a single click from within Internet Explorer or Firefox, capture web pages as PDF files, keeping all links intact. Convert only a portion of the page by selecting just the content you want.

• Email to PDF
Handle email-based communication more efficiently and simplify email search and retrieval. Archive emails or email folders from Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes with one-button ease.

Export and edit PDF documents

Easily edit PDF documents and quickly export PDFs to Word or Excel files. Spend less time rekeying information and more time reusing content. Use Acrobat X to reduce errors, improve productivity, and finish projects faster.

• PDF to Excel
Expedite reuse of content by converting PDF document data to Excel file formats. Even select a portion of a PDF page and export it to an editable format.

• PDF to Word
Export PDF files to Word documents with improved preservation of formatting and layouts. Relative positioning of tables, images, and even multicolumn text is preserved, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes.

• Editing PDF files
Quickly and easily edit PDF documents without going back to the original source files. Save time by making simple changes to text directly within PDF files, and remove, reorder, and rotate pages.

• SharePoint integration
Work with PDF files in Microsoft SharePoint. Access SharePoint from any Acrobat Open or Save dialog box. Open PDF files from SharePoint for viewing. Check them out for editing, and then check them back in.

Combine files from multiple applications

No need to fill people's inboxes with multiple emails and attachments. Create and deliver professional-looking PDF files that are simple to send, open, view, and navigate.

• Document merge
Combine content from multiple sources — including documents, spreadsheets, emails, web pages, scanned paper, and images — into one compact PDF file that can be easily shared and viewed.

• Attaching native files
Make sure source files are simple to locate, access, and archive. Attach them to any PDF document in their original, native formats, ensuring a more complete document of record.

• Adding navigation
Add bookmarks, links, headers, footers, and numbering so your audience can navigate documents quickly and easily. Save your settings and apply them to other documents in the future.

Streamline online document reviews

Gather feedback efficiently and accelerate approvals. Use shared online document reviews to get — and keep — everyone on the same page from project start to finish.

• PDF commenting
Review and mark up PDF files using a complete set of familiar commenting tools, including sticky note and highlighter tools, lines, and stamps. Easily compile all documents in a single PDF document.
