ADOBE® ACROBAT® 9 PRO EXTENDED

Deliver the richest, most engaging PDF communications anytime, anywhere



Create and share professional work with virtually anyone, anywhere. Unify the widest range of content—including documents, spreadsheets, e-mail, images, video, 3D, and maps—in a single compressed and organized PDF Portfolio. Collaborate through shared document reviews. Create interactive forms and collect data easily. Help protect and control sensitive information. Extend Acrobat functionality to users of Adobe Reader® software. And take advantage of the complete PDF feature set.

Create interactive, on-demand presentations

Use Adobe Presenter, included with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software, to liven up your Microsoft PowerPoint slides. Add video, voice-over, demos, and interactive quizzes to keep your audience engaged and improve knowledge retention. Save your presentation as a PDF file so people can view it wherever they are, whenever it’s convenient.

Unify the widest range of content

Assemble documents, drawings, e-mail, spreadsheets, and rich media—including video, audio, 3D, and maps—in a single compressed PDF Portfolio. Choose one of many professional templates to quickly integrate content, define navigation, incorporate branding, and add polish to your PDF Portfolio.

Easily share video in PDF files

Native support for Flash® technology can enable reliable, cross-platform sharing of video, animations, and applications in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF files without needing a special media player.

Create and manage electronic forms

Convert Microsoft Word and Excel documents or scanned paper to PDF forms with automatic recognition of fillable fields. Use Adobe LiveCycle® Designer ES software, a professional form design tool included with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, to create, customize, and automate dynamic XML forms. Use the Form Tracker to see when forms have been completed and who has completed them. Easily export data to a spreadsheet for analysis and reporting or into a database.

Help protect sensitive information

Control access to and use of PDF documents, assign digital rights, and maintain document integrity. Set document permissions to define whether a file can be printed or changed. Apply passwords to help restrict document access. Use redaction tools to permanently remove sensitive information. Digitally sign and certify documents to validate they came from a trusted source. Create and reuse document security policies that can be easily applied to new PDF files.
