Acrobat.com is a set of online services you can use to create and share documents, communicate in real time, and simplify working with others. With Acrobat.com, you can do the following: · Store up to 5 GB of files in your online organizer, accessible from anywhere with a web browser. · Share large files with others, without sending the files by e-mail. You can limit access to just people you invite, or make your documents accessible to everyone by embedding a link on a web page or blog. · Convert five documents to PDF. · Create documents with Adobe® Buzzword®, an online word processor. · Hold web meetings with Adobe ConnectNow web conferencing software. Manage your files Upload files Click Upload at the top of the organizer window. Select one or more files from your computer to upload. At the lower right of the organizer window, the status/progress indicator shows how much storage space you have left on Acrobat.com. It also shows whether you are connected to the Internet and tracks progress when you're uploading, sharing, or converting a file to PDF. For more information, see "What file types can I upload and share?" on page 10. Sort and filter files The organizer is your home base in Acrobat.com. It shows files that you've uploaded to the web, and files that other Acrobat.com users have uploaded and shared with you. From the organizer, you can browse file contents, share a file, or convert a file to Adobe PDF. You can also access other Acrobat.com services, such as Adobe Buzzword and Adobe ConnectNow. You can view your files in List view or Thumbnail view. Click a View icon in the toolbar to switch views. In either view, use the Sort icons in the toolbar to change how your files are grouped in the organizer: alphabetically, by author, by date added or modified, by file type, by size (in megabytes), or by share status. Move the pointer over a Sort icon to identify it: USING ACROBAT.COM 2 What can you do with Acrobat.com? Whatever sort method you choose, you can filter the files that appear to quickly access a particular set of files and temporarily hide the rest. To add a filter, click a heading in your current sort view. For example, when sorting by file size, click a size heading, such as Less Than 1 MB, to view just those files in the organizer. After applying a filter, you can sort the remaining files by any other sorting method. You can also apply additional filters to further sort the files you are currently displaying. For example, after displaying just files of less than 1 MB, you can sort the remaining files by file type. Then click a file type heading, such as Text File, to see just text files. The filters you've applied--in this case, File Size and File Type--appear as tiles above the currently displayed files. Click the arrow next to a filter tile to see a menu of other choices for that filter. For example, if you're filtering file types to show just text files, you can change the filter to show just Microsoft® Word documents. Click the X on a filter tile to remove the filter. You can remove filters in any order. Whatever filters you have left are then in effect. For example, suppose you filter files less than 1 MB and text files, and remove the File Size filter. In this case, all text files appear, not just text files of less than 1 MB. Remove all filters to return to viewing all files. Preview files · To browse file contents, click the filename to open the previewer. In the previewer, you can page through documents such as Microsoft Office files, OpenOffice files, PDF files, and images. · For other file commands, click a document icon to reveal a menu button menu: , then click it to open the file context Access other services Clicking the icons in the upper right of the organizer takes you to the other Acrobat.com services: Adobe Buzzword, an online word processor, and Adobe ConnectNow, a web conferencing program. · Click New to open a new, blank Buzzword document. in the toolbar to open the Buzzword Document Organizer. · Click Buzzword Docs USING ACROBAT.COM 3 What can you do with Acrobat.com? · Click Meet to go to a ConnectNow meeting room.

You can create up to five free PDFs. You can browse for a file on your computer, or drag a file that's already in your organizer into the Create PDF pane. While the PDF is being created, you can select or preview other files in the organizer. When the conversion is done, you can share the PDF file or preview it.
