Getting Started with Workflow Solutions

Part I

Acrobat Professional in version 9 offers you many tools to facilitate collaboration with colleagues,

clients, and prepress technicians. You can do these things:

Set up e-mail–based reviews for markup and approval of design concepts and proofs

Enable PDF documents with special usage rights so users of the free Adobe Reader pro-

gram can participate in comment and review sessions

Export comments and corrections directly to Microsoft Word text documents (on

Windows XP with Office XP only)

PDF Portfolios

Prepare files for digital prepress and printing including the ability to convert composite

black to K-only output

Authenticate and secure documents

Develop media shows and slide presentations for kiosks, meetings, and presentations

Review sessions and forms hosted by Acrobat.com

Organize your design environment and catalog design campaigns embedding native files

in PDFs for an organized storage system

Search for content contained on CDs, DVDs, network servers, and Web sites

All in all, Acrobat 9 Pro has a significant place in your design workflow.

Acrobat 9 Pro was released several months earlier than the other CS4 programs and is not on the

same development cycle as the other CS4 programs. Part of the reason for the early release of

Acrobat was the necessity to develop the PDF specifications used by all the other CS4 programs.

Adobe Acrobat is unlike the other CS4 programs in that the application is designed to serve many

different office professionals. Acrobat might be used by engineers, legal professionals, business

office workers, government workers, school districts, and just about anyone in any industry work-

ing on a computer today. Therefore, there are a number of tools that you, as a creative profes-

sional, may not use in Acrobat just because those tools may not serve your needs.

Adobe Drive and Version Cue

You’ll find the new enhancements to Version Cue another step toward complete integration of the

Adobe CS4 applications. Together with Adobe Bridge, this release of the Creative Suite helps you

easily manage documents and revisions. Adobe Version Cue is now in version CS4 like the other

CS applications. Adobe Drive provides a way to connect to external servers and share files.
