Forms menu
The Forms menu shown in Figure 1.8 is new to Acrobat 8. Here you’ll find a number of different com-
mands all used for working with PDF forms and Adobe Designer XML forms (Windows).
The new Run Form Field Recognition command is not only a special treat for forms designers,
but it’s one of the best new features added to Acrobat 8.
FIGURE 1.8
The Forms menu, new in Acrobat 8, contains commands specifically for working with forms.
For working with Acrobat PDF forms, see Chapters 33 and 34. For understanding more about
Adobe Designer and XML forms (Windows only), see Chapter 35.
Tools menu
The Tools menu (see Figure 1.9) in Acrobat logically places access to many editing tools in a single conven-
ient menu. You can access certain tools from the Acrobat toolbars (explained in the section “Tools and tool-
bars” later in this chapter) or you can use a context menu to access toolbars from the Acrobat Toolbar Well.
FIGURE 1.9
The Tools menu contains a collection of tools accessed from submenus. Select a tool group from the menu options
to open a submenu.
Advanced menu
The Advanced menu (see Figure 1.10) contains a collection of menu commands considered to be advanced
Acrobat features. A few of these tools are not available to users of Acrobat Standard such as Batch
Processing, the new Redaction tools in Acrobat 8 Professional, and access to Acrobat Catalog. A few changes
