Top Reasons to buy Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Include Adobe Reader users - Enable users of free Adobe Reader software to digitally sign documents, participate in shared document reviews, and save forms locally (requires Adobe Reader 8 or later). By extending Acrobat functionality to Reader users, virtually anyone can participate in the workflows you initiate.

Help protect your documents - Use passwords to help control access to PDF documents. Use permissions to restrict printing, copying, or altering. Save passwords and permissions as security policies that can be easily applied to new PDF files.

Permanently remove sensitive information - Use redaction tools to black out sensitive text, illustrations, or other information, permanently deleting the content from the PDF document. Inspect PDF documents for metadata, hidden layers, and other concealed information, and remove before distributing to others.

Enable virtually anyone to access design data - Convert virtually any 2D and 3D designs - including layers, dimensions, and metadata - to a single PDF file to share product data more easily and securely.

Manage and track document reviews - Gain the input you need through interactive document reviews that enable participants to see and build on each others comments, which can be sorted by author, date, or page. Use the Form Tracker to monitor progress and participation.

Synchronize document views - Ensure colleagues, clients, and partners are on the same page at the same time with the ability to co-navigate documents. To provide clarity and enhance discussion, e-mail a document and walk recipients through it in real time by controlling the exact page view they see.

Compare PDF documents - Automatically highlight the differences between two versions of a PDF document, including text and images, so you can quickly and easily identify what has changed.

View and interact with PDF maps - Search, measure, and mark up geospatially enabled PDF maps. Discover the longitude and latitude by placing your cursor over a location.
