Adobe Acrobat software is a desktop productivity tool that allows you to create, review, approve, secure, and share Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files. PDF is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. Adobe PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with the free Acrobat Reader. Version 5 offers some genuine improvements for corporate and graphic designers: revamped interface; better printing and color-management controls; batch processing capabilities; form-generation tools; digital signatures; security settings; tighter integration between Acrobat and Microsoft Office; and WebDAV and XML support.
