"Drat! I can't find the original file . . . I only have the PDF and I have to make a change!"

If you've ever found yourself saying that, this video is for you!

You'll learn how to update text using the Touchup Text Tool for two kinds of PDF documents:
  1. Electronic PDFs converted directly from a computer file like Word, Excel, etc.
  2. Scanned documents which originated on paper

PDF Portfolios are terrific, branded containers which can contain hundreds of files.

By sending a single PDF, your client or partner will have access to all documents contained inside.

One of the most discoverable features of PDF Portfolios is SEARCH. You can accelerate PDF Portfolio search by embedding a full-text index.

Learn how in this informative video.

You have a lot of PDFs . . . maybe thousands of them.

You need to find specific terms inside all of these files, but you don't have a lot of time.

What can you do to accelerate the search process?

Using Acrobat you can create a Full Text Index that accelerates search 20X or more. Using Acrobat Catalog which is included with Acrobat, you can create your own mini-Google to make search fast and fun.
