Acrobat Acts Out

I think it’s time for Acrobat to have it’s own wiki.

First thing to know is that Adobe is the brand. Acrobat is a piece of software. It comes in two main flavors: Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro. There are other, less exciting flavors, but these will be out main focus.

Acrobat Reader does just that: reads PDF files. It can also print and do a few minor tricks, but to do anything much (like make PDFs), you need Acrobat Pro. PDF, by the way, is the format in which Acrobat saves a document.

To get things started, there is an Acrobat FAQ and a page about Editing PDF Files That Refuse to be edited. The FAQ-so-far talks about the problem with cutting off printouts on the right, failure to print landscape, failure to print signatures, and the refusal to show up in some programs as a picture.
