Creating PDF Files
Click to see a larger screen shot Microsoft(R) Word and Excel Macros for Windows 95 New macros for Word and Excel add a "Create Adobe PDF" option to the File menus of both applications. Choosing the Create Adobe PDF option automatically switches to the PDFWriter driver, creates the PDF file, and then switches back to the previously selected printer driver. Acrobat Distiller The Distiller lets you convert visually rich Adobe PostScript(R) language files created in image editing, illustration, and page layout applications to PDF.		Click to see a larger screen shot Converting Paper Documents to PDF With Acrobat 3.0, scanning and OCR, complete with page recognition, is fast and easy. Users can import all the leading image formats, or scan and convert almost any printed business document into PDF. Letters, memos, and faxes lying dormant in file cabinets come back to life electronically. PDF files are fully searchable and retain all their original layout, including fonts, images, tables, and even multicolumn text. And for batch-converting entire volumes or archives of paper documents to PDF for posting on-line, use Acrobat Capture software. PDFWriter Use the PDFWriter to easily "print" everyday business documents from any application to PDF.
Enhancing PDF Files
Click to see a larger screen shot Interactive Forms Companies can use Acrobat to create visually rich, interactive forms that include features such as pop-up lists and radio buttons. For the first time, your Web forms can preserve your corporate identity. Embedded PDF Files PDF files may be embedded directly in an HTML page using the HTML <EMBED> tag. Using the WIDTH and HEIGHT options, HTML authors can scale the PDF file. If the PDF file has multiple pages, only the first page is downloaded. When an embedded PDF file is viewed within Netscape(TM) Navigator(TM), an HTML option allows users to click on the embedded PDF file to open the entire document.		Click to see a larger screen shot Dynamic Controls Acrobat makes it easy to add dynamic controls (interactive buttons) that trigger sound and QuickTime(R) or AVI movies in any PDF file. Users can publish PDF files from their desktop using any media that suits their needs including CD-ROM or to an e-mail attachment, as well as through the Intranet or external Web sites.
Integrated Viewing
Click to see a larger screen shot Integrated Viewing Acrobat 3.0 offers integrated viewing of PDF files directly within the leading Web browsers, including Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0.		Page-on-Demand Access Page-at-a-time downloading of PDF files across the Internet ensures fast display of PDF documents. Progressive Rendering Progressive rendering of PDF pages means that text is rendered first (using a substitute font if necessary), followed by hypertext links and images. Then any embedded fonts are drawn on-screen last, ensuring quick viewing of the information.
Optimization for the Internet
Save As The "Save As" option of Acrobat 3.0 now includes a checkbox for optimizing PDF files for on-line delivery. This means that duplicate background objects (text, line art, and images) are combined, significantly reducing file sizes. Objects in a PDF file are reordered for page-on-demand access over the Internet. Batch Optimization You can easily optimize an entire folder - and optionally, all included subfolders - of PDF files on a hard disk, Web server, or a CD-ROM staging area.		Cross-Document Links and the Internet PDF files with relative cross-document links now work unchanged. This means that you can create a single collection of hypertext-linked PDF files and publish them on local drives, network drives, CD-ROM, or a Web server - and the links automatically work in all locations.
