Real World Adobe Creative Suite 2

Adobe PDF has become the closest we have to a universal format: Virtually any kind of file on any computer platform can be turned into a PDF file. As we've seen, with Acrobat 7.0 Professional, even paper documents and web pages can be easily turned into PDF files. Once in PDF, the file can be sent to anyone, and that person can use the free Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view it just as the document was created.

Adobe Creative Suite 2 makes working with PDF easy. Its PDF presets make creating a PDF file from your CS2 applications a snap. Acrobat 7.0 Professional offers a host of ways to manipulate the PDF files you create. And you can place or open PDF in all the CS2 applications. You can use PDF files to solve many common production problems encountered by creative professionals. Use what you've learned in this chapter to spread the PDF gospel to others.
