Adobe Acrobat 8: Digital Document
Authoring
Adobe Acrobat allows you to easily create PDF files to distribute. PDF files are not only compact, but can
include font and formatting information so that what you send looks just like what readers see. This
session will get you started with Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Although this session just scratches the
surface of what is capable in Acrobat, it probably covers about 90% of what people use Acrobat for in

Acrobat on your own machine and find this screen annoying,
you can click the check box in the upper right hand corner to
stop it from coming up every time you launch the program.
Then again, it doesn’t cost you any time to jump right in from this window.

directly into PDF format.
To Scan Directly into PDF
1. Click on “Create PDF” and select “From Scanner…” from the
drop down menu
2. In the “Input>Scanner” section of the resulting dialog box
select the appropriate option from the drop down menu.
If you only have one scanner connected to the computer, there
will only really be one option. In some cases, though, there
