Acrobat Professional
With Acrobat Professional, students can translate their computer-generated projects into PDFs. Users of Adobe's Acrobat Reader (free) can view, print, and search these Acrobat-generated PDFs, even if their systems lack the applications or typefaces used to create the original document. New to version 8 is the ability to password-protect PDF documents using 128-bit encryption. Users can also embed an index into the document to speed up document searches. Plus, it's easy for students to combine elements from several sources such as photos, video, and audio clips into a single PDF for classroom presentations. Finally, thanks to the companion Acrobat LiveCycle Designed 8's tools to design and edit Web-based interactive forms, students can generate interactive questionnaires and surveys.
