Using Adobe Acrobat

What is Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat is a program for making, altering and viewing pdf files. The pdf format is a favorite for sharing documents with pictures or forms to be filled out. If you need a document to look exactly the same on any computer, saving it as a pdf is a good idea!

How do I use Acrobat?

  • First, you'll need to Install Adobe Acrobat.
  • Making a PDF
    In Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, In Design or Photoshop you can just go to file and choose 'save as' pdf is one of your choices. (Photoshop and Illustrator are available on the Software Center.)
  • Selecting Text
    You can click the text select icon icon on the toolbar for use in selecting excerpts from the document, or you can go to the Edit menu and choose Select All if you wish to copy the whole document.
  • Find a particular word or phrase in a document
    Go to Edit>Find and type in the key word or phrase or click on the little binoculars button on the toolbar.

That didn't work!

If you are having trouble using Adobe Acrobat, try checking out Adobe's Website, call Adobe Technical Support, or see if there is an Acrobat class on the KSLearn Class schedule.
