Acrobat X Pro is a full-featured application that enables the end user to convert documents into PDF (Portable Document Format) documents. PDF documents can be read by anybody who has the free Adobe Reader installed on his or her computer. Many people who own Acrobat don’t utilize many of the incredible features the application has available. My goal for this book is to make Acrobat X Pro more accessible for everyone who uses the application and to explore the powerful features that enable the end user to convert vanilla PDFs into interactive forms, multimedia presentations, and much more.

This book covers features of Acrobat X Pro and is divided into three parts. Part I is an introduction to Acrobat that discusses the new features of Acrobat X Pro, explores the workspace, and shows you how to navigate a PDF document. Part II shows you how to convert Microsoft Office documents, paper documents, and web pages to PDF files. This part of the book also shows you how to add interactive elements to PDF documents and create navigation for PDF documents. Part III shows you how to edit PDF documents, review and mark up PDF documents, add security to PDF documents, create PDF forms, and add multimedia to PDF documents.
