quotesThe Acrobat 9 Download Series: Readers of my articles at acrobatusers.com who’d like to read offline at their leisure can now download a PDF in a print-ready format.

Document Basics is the current topic of the month at Acrobatusers.com.

It’s Friday afternoon. You’re nearly ready to deliver a customer project. Then you get a call—can you change the layout on a couple of pages, add some images, and how about a background? To add to your misery, your graphic designer has left on vacation, and the idea of doing anything in InDesign sends shivers down your spine. Suddenly, it occurs to you. You can make the changes right in Acrobat
9!

I need to print protected files. Is this possible?

Our vendors give us, for their convenience, files from their website. We need to have an electronic to make a book of the different vendor files. We like the internet files because they are clearer than scanned copies. We don’t need a paper copy. To print a webfile, then scan it to get an electronic copy takes more of our time and trees and it is not as clear as an original electronic file.Is there anyway to get around a protedted file besides.

Hi Joan -

The short answer is “No” and “Yes”. Permissions for actions like printing are established by the file’s author. Optimally, all your vendors’ file authors should change the permissions on their files for you to print decent copies (although I don’t see that happening!).

Instead of printing a copy and then scanning it, capture the pages in Acrobat. Copy the URL from the vendor’s page. In Acrobat, choose Create > PDF From Web Page to open the dialog box and paste in the URL. You can click Settings and configure the page as you need it. Click Create and you should have a copy downloaded and displayed as a PDF.

Thanks for writing!

donna.

We print a newspaper for our community which is laid out on Quark and distilled to pdfs to send to the printer. We have many problems with one of our advertisers ads that she sends us in pdf form. This time all dashes between telephone numbers disappeared and some of the spaces between words. She sends us a pdf that she makes, we import it into the page and make that page into a pdf. What can we do to solve this problem? Is it something she is doing or us?

Thought I would try the example you gave – but fell at the first hurdle – there is no TouchUp Object tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar. Only TouchUp Text. And no sign of one lurking around in Customize Toolbars. Any ideas?
