Whether files need to be shared across the office or around the globe, the Adobe Acrobat product family enables businesses to simplify document processes using Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). A standard adopted by governments and enterprises worldwide, Adobe PDF is a reliable format for electronic document exchange that preserves document integrity so files can be viewed and printed on a variety of platforms.

• Easy Adobe PDF file creation
  Create Adobe PDF files with the click of a button from Microsoft Office applications and, for Windows users, from Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project and Visio, and AutoCAD®.
• Document merge
  Convert and combine proposals, presentations, images, and other documents into one compact Adobe PDF file in a single step (Windows only), and add headers, footers, and watermarks.
• Review management
  Create lists of reviewers and track the feedback received. Gather comments into a single Adobe PDF file, or view them collectively in a separate window for easy reconciliation.
• Layers and large-format support
  Preserve layers in Adobe PDF files created from AutoCAD and Microsoft Visio, and easily create Adobe PDF files in standard large-format sizes, including ARCH, ISO, JIS, and ANSI.
• High-quality print output
  Reduce late-stage errors by sending Adobe PDF files for final output. Print composite output for high-quality proofs, save composite EPS files, or create host-based or in-RIP separations.
• Built-in preflighting
  Check Adobe PDF files to ensure proper creation, and preview color separations as well as transparency flattening.
• Forms creation
  Create interactive electronic forms that can be completed and submitted online, simplifying review processes in small workgroups.
• Robust commenting tools
  Create custom stamps or dynamic date-time stamps, and redline documents with oval, cloud, and other drawing tools. Indicate text insertions and deletions with a single keystroke.
• Enhanced file viewing and navigation
  View two areas of a large drawing simultaneously using a split-pane view. Zoom in on unreadable areas without affecting the magnification level of the rest of the document.
• PDF/X compliance
  Examine Adobe PDF files for PDF/X compliance and PostScript level compatibility for reliable printing.

Each card can hold and attractively display and label all the information you want to keep, no matter how many phone numbers and email addresses a particular friend might have. There's also a space for random notes — birthday, the dog's name, etc. — and adding a picture is a simple matter of drag and drop.

But Address Book can do more than just display card contents; it also lets you actively use them. Click on address to ask the Web for a map showing the location. Click on a home page URL to launch the web site. Click on an email address to send a message — if it happens to be a mac.com address, you can also open that person's iDisk public folder or send them an instant message via iChat . And if you've got a Bluetooth-equipped cell phone, Address Book can automatically sync with it, alert you when a you've got a incoming call, and display the Caller ID information.
