Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard (PC)

The Acrobat 8 family helps users initiate, manage, and organize ad-hoc collaboration by creating and sharing content-rich documents; combining multiple files into a single, polished Adobe PDF document; managing and organizing feedback to expedite document collaboration; collecting and exchanging high- value information; and controlling document access with confidence.

The Acrobat family has been strengthened to help meet industry-specific requirements regarding information sharing. New tools allow users to permanently remove sensitive text, images, metadata, and other information in an Adobe PDF document. Converting complex, large-format documents into Adobe PDF is significantly faster, and industry-specific markup tools have been enhanced for easier use. New shared reviews streamline collaboration. Review initiators can enable users of free Adobe Reader 8 software to participate in shared reviews using intuitive Acrobat commenting tools. Collecting data from Adobe PDF forms is easy, as Adobe Reader 8 users can now electronically fill out, digitally sign, and locally save an electronic form and its data (when those capabilities have been enabled in Acrobat 8 Professional software and Acrobat 3D, Version 8.) And an enhanced interface lets users quickly choose the task or tool they need so they can get the job done even faster.
