Documentation software

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 software, a family of desktop applications, provides capabilities far beyond converting documents into the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).

Now, workgroups can use Acrobat 7.0 and Adobe PDF to manage a range of essential business activities such as assembling documents from multiple sources, creating intelligent forms, and more securely collaborating on projects inside and outside the firewall.

Adobe Reader users can quickly provide feedback on a PDF file that consists of several content types - from scanned paper to spreadsheets, presentations, and now, 3D computer-aided design (CAD) content.

The inclusion of Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the company's professional form design tool, with Acrobat 7.0 Professional provides users the ability to create sophisticated XML and PDF forms that can be integrated into back-end systems.

The combination enables organisations to apply and manage document policies for helping control access, auditing, expiration, and revocation rights to a PDF.

The Acrobat 7.0 family offers different functionality to address specific customer workflows. Acrobat 7.0 Professional provides more advanced control over engineering and design documents for technical and creative workgroups that rely on specialised software such as CAD and publishing applications.
