In the past, when redacting text, users manually made copies of originals and then highlighted sensitive text with black markers and rescanned the copies into PDFs. CRN Test Center engineers found it extremely accurate.Īcrobat 8 now offers improved redaction capabilities. The process takes mere seconds and speeds up form creation. Features of Reader 8, such as viewing, print and search, are well integrated with the packaging model.Īcrobat 8 arrives with auto field detection, which automatically identifies form fields when parsing and converting new documents. The only distinction is that packaged files can have different properties when users move between documents. Since the packaging model does not change the documents, it can be used for legal work. The combined files are not changed in any way and all the properties associated with each file are transferred over the packaged target file.Ĭombined files are viewable in the same package with Reader 8.

The package option is essentially a wrapper for multiple PDF files.

The new PDF packaging model can combine PDFs with signatures and security passwords, even when Acrobat users do not have authoring access to the files. As forms are distributed via e-mail, new workflow capabilities automatically merge results into a PDF package file.

The new saving feature eliminates the need to print PDF forms or e-mail forms immediately after filling them. Adobe Acrobat 8 Profes-sional is moving headlong into the workflow space with its new form editing features.Īcrobat 8 now supports form saves and digital signatures for Reader extensions, with capabilities that allow users to save forms on local hard drives without a LiveCycle plug-in.
