  1. FIND
  2. SEARCH
Find is rather simplistic and allows you to find an individual word and click the NEXT button to go to a subsequent instance of the word.

SEARCH is much more sophisticated and offers the ability to see all search "hits" in a single panel, in the context of the surrounding text.

In this short videocast, you'll learn about the differences between FIND and SEARCH in Acrobat.

One of the challenges of software development is taking something complex and making it easier.

Acrobat 9 has greatly simplified the area of Form Authoring. Creating, distributing and collecting form data is easy enough for just about anybody.

In this podcast, you'll see the simpler, streamlined form creation capabilities of Acrobat 9.

While we're talking about forms, Adobe made another change. Acrobat Standard users can now create forms and Reader-enable forms. Reader-enable means to "bless" a form so that a user with just the free Reader software can save form data.

What's the best way to do that?

Acrobat's Pages Panel, unfortunately, doesn't let you extract a non-sequential range of pages.

However, there are two good workarounds:
  1. Drag and drop pages to a new PDF
  2. Use the Combine function (weird, but it works!)
In this tip, you'll learn both workarounds.
