What can you do with Acrobat.com?

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 from anywhere. With Acrobat.com, you can do the following:

Store up to 5 gigabytes 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 5 documents to PDF. Create documents with Adobe Buzzword, an online word processor Hold web meetings with Adobe ConnectNow web conferencing software

Manage your 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 To upload new files to the organizer, click Upload at the top of the organizer window. Select one or

more files from your computer to upload. See What file types can I upload and share? for supported file types.

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:

Buzzword and Adobe ConnectNow.

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 narrow down 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—display as tiles above the currently displayed files. Click the arrow next to a filter tile to see a menu of other choices for that particular 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, you filter files less than 1 MB and text files, and remove the File Size filter. In this case, all text files display, not just text files of less than 1 MB. Remove all filters to return to viewing all 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 context menu:

, then click it to open the file

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.

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. Click Buzzword Docs in the toolbar to open the Buzzword organizer. Click Meet to go to a ConnectNow meeting room.

Create Adobe PDFs

You can use Acrobat.com to create PDFs from any of the following types of files: Microsoft Word (.doc), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt), Microsoft Excel (.xls), text (.txt), Adobe PostScript

(bitmap, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG), Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), and OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files (.odt, .odp, .ods, .odg, .odf, .sxw, .sxi, .sxc,

(.ps), image

.sxd, .stw). You can create up to five free PDF files.

To convert a file to Adobe PDF:

Click Create PDF at the top of the organizer window. Click a file in the organizer, then click the menu button to open the context menu. Choose

Convert To PDF.

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.

You can create Buzzword documents and save them as PDF files. See What can you do with

Buzzword? for more information.

Collaborate Live on PDF files

Use Collaborate Live to review a PDF with one or more remote users in an online session. In a Collaborate Live session, the participants view a document with a live chat window. When sharing pages, the document page and magnification is shared with all participants, so that everyone sees the same part of a document. Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9 is required to participate in a Collaborate Live session.

Note:

Only the owner of the PDF file can disable collaboration. The PDF remains in your organizer after live collaboration is disabled. However, you can no longer chat or synchronize page views in the PDF.

Share files

Acrobat.com lets you share large files with others without sending the files by e-mail. You can share a file that you've already uploaded to the organizer, or share a file from your computer.

To share a file and notify others:

Click Share at the top of the organizer window. In the Share panel, browse for a file on your computer, or drag a file from the organizer into the drop area.

In the Share panel, enter the e-mail addresses of the people you want to share the file with, and how you want to notify them:

1. Click Share With to see a list of people you've previously shared files with, or who have shared files with you. You can also enter one or more addresses in the field next to Share With. Any new address you enter is stored for future use.

2. Check Notify recipients of Shared files to send an e-mail message to your recipients. The e-mail contains a thumbnail image of the file and a URL link that the recipient clicks to access the file. If you want to share a file without sending an e-mail, leave this box unchecked. The next time the user logs in to Acrobat.com, the shared file automatically appears in their organizer.

3. Click the Share button.

For a selected file in the organizer, the Collaborator bar at the bottom of the window shows whom you've shared the file with. If you created of uploaded the file, you are listed as the author, and anyone you shared it with is listed as a reader. If you share a file with someone, you appear in their organizer Collaborator bar as the file author, and they appear as a reader.

If you're the author of a file, you can stop sharing it at any time. Move the pointer over the icon of the person sharing the file in the Collaborator bar. Then click the menu button Remove from the context menu. If you delete a file you've shared, it is removed from the organizers of anyone you're sharing it with. If you update a file you've shared, the updated file appears in the organizers of anyone you are sharing the file with.

If you're a reader of a file, you can remove the file from your organizer by choosing Delete from the context menu. To copy the shared file to your hard drive, choose Download from the context menu.

Access levels for shared files

The Collaborator bar also shows the access level for files that you uploaded or created. There are two levels of access: Open and Restricted.

Open access is the default access level for files you upload to Acrobat.com. A file with open

access is available to anyone who has the URL to the file. Open access files can also be shared by embedding them into external web pages, blogs, or wiki pages.

Restricted access files are only available to users with whom you've shared the file. These users have to sign in to Acrobat.com with their e-mail addresses before they can access restricted files.

To change the access setting for a file, select the file in the organizer. In the Collaborator bar, move the pointer over the access tile and click the menu button. Changing the access setting does not affect sharing for users with whom you've already shared a file.

Sharing files in web pages

Documents stored in the organizer can be distributed by embedding a Flash web page, blog, or wiki page. The viewers of the web page see an embedded previewer window in the page that displays the contents of the file you're sharing. They can enlarge the preview window to full screen, view the file at different zoom levels, and page through multi-page files. They can also download the shared file directly from the web page. See How do I share a file in a web page?

File sharing

How can I tell who is sharing a file? How do I stop sharing a file with someone? How do I share a file in a web page? Can I change the size or orientation of the web page previewer window? My e-mail has changed. Can I still get to my shared files? I updated a file that I'm sharing. Will other people see the new file? What share statuses can I assign to a file?

How can I tell who is sharing a file?

Click the file in the organizer. The Collaboration bar at the bottom of the organizer window shows the author of the file and the readers (people sharing the file).

How do I stop sharing a file with someone?

Click the file icon in the organizer to select the file. In the Collaborator bar, move the pointer over the icon of the person sharing the file. Click the menu button and choose Remove from the context menu. You can only stop sharing a file if you are its author.

Note:

If you remove a file, it is automatically removed from the organizer of any other user you have shared the file with. However, if the user has already downloaded the file, the downloaded version is still accessible.

How do I share a file in a web page?

To embed a Flash preview of your shared file on a web page, select the file icon in the organizer. Open the file context menu and choose Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. Viewers can

browse a multipage document in the previewer, change zoom level, or maximize the previewer to full

(.doc), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt), Microsoft Excel (.xls), text (.txt), Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), and OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files (.odt, .odp, .ods, .odg, .odf, .sxw, .sxi, .sxc, .sxd, .stw).

Note:

A file must be set to open access to be previewable.

Can I change the size or orientation of the web page preview window?

The default size of the embedded web page preview window is designed for documents with an 8.5 x 11 aspect ratio. You can change the preview window to accommodate smaller or larger embedded documents. To resize the preview window, edit the width and height parameters in the embed code that you paste into a web page. The width and height parameters appear twice in the embed code:

width="365" height="500"> <param name="movie"

value="https://share.acrobat.com/adc/flex/mpt.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="flashvars" value="ext=jpg&docId=99f3eeac-217a-11dd-a5cc-6592cbe3615d"/> <embed src="https://share.acrobat.com/adc/flex/mpt.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi? P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="365"

height="500" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="ext=jpg&docId=99f3eeac-

217a-11dd-a5cc-6592cbe3615d"> </embed> </object>

To change the orientation of the preview window from portrait to landscape, reverse the width and height settings (width="500", height="365"). To maintain the aspect ratio of the default window, use a width and height proportional to the default settings (365, 500). For example, to increase previewer window size by 50%, increase both the height and width settings by 50% (width="547", height="750").

Web previewer window in portrait (rear) and landscape (front) orientation

My e-mail has changed. Can I still get to my shared files?

To access a shared file for the first time, use the e-mail address that the file was originally shared with. You can then update your e-mail address in your Acrobat.com account preferences (choose More > Settings & Preferences). After updating and verifying your new e-mail address, you have access to all your shared files, even files shared with your previous address.

I updated a file that I'm sharing. Will other people see the new file?

Yes. If you upload a newer version of a file, others sharing the file see the new version the next time they preview the file. The newer version of the file must have the same filename as the original file.

What share statuses can I assign to a file?

A file can be Open access or Restricted access. Open access is the default access level for files you upload to Acrobat.com. A file with open access is accessible to anyone who has the file URL. Open access files can also be embedded into external web pages, blogs, or wiki pages. Restricted access files are only accessible to users you have shared the file with. These users have to sign in to Acrobat.com with their e-mail addresses before they can access restricted files.

PDF creation

What file formats can I convert to PDF? I created a PDF from a file on my computer, but I don't see it in the organizer.

What file formats can I convert to PDF?

Microsoft Word (.doc), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt), Microsoft Excel (.xls), text (.txt), Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), and OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files (.odt, .odp, .ods, .odg, .odf, .sxw, .sxi, .sxc, .sxd, .stw).

I created a PDF from a file on my computer, but I don't see it in the organizer.

A quoi sert Acrobat.com ?

Acrobat.com est un ensemble de services en ligne permettant de créer et de partager des documents, communiquer en temps réel et faciliter la collaboration avec d'autres utilisateurs de tout site. Acrobat.com permet d'effectuer les opérations suivantes :

enregistrer jusqu'à 5 gigaoctets de fichiers dans votre organiseur en ligne, accessible depuis tout poste avec un navigateur Web ;

partager des fichiers volumineux avec d'autres utilisateurs sans les envoyer par message électronique. Vous pouvez limiter l'accès uniquement aux personnes que vous invitez ou mettre vos documents à disposition de tous les utilisateurs en incorporant un lien sur une page Web ou un blog ;

convertir 5 documents au format PDF ; créer des documents à l'aide du traitement de texte en ligne Adobe Buzzword ; tenir des conférences en ligne à l'aide du logiciel Adobe ConnectNow de conférences Web.

Gestion de fichiers

L'organiseur constitue votre référence dans Acrobat.com. Il affiche les fichiers que vous avez téléchargés sur Internet et ceux que d'autres utilisateurs Acrobat.com ont téléchargés et partagés avec vous. Depuis l'organiseur, vous pouvez rechercher le contenu d'un fichier, partager un fichier ou en convertir un au format Adobe PDF. Vous pouvez également accéder à d'autres services

Acrobat.com tels qu'Adobe Pour télécharger de nouveaux fichiers dans l'organiseur, cliquez sur Télécharger dans la partie

supérieure de la fenêtre de l'organiseur. Sélectionnez un ou plusieurs fichiers à télécharger depuis votre ordinateur. Consultez la rubrique Quels types de fichier puis-je télécharger et partager ? pour les types de fichier partagés.

Vous pouvez afficher vos fichiers sous forme de liste ou de vignettes. Cliquez sur une icône d'affichage dans la barre d'outils pour passer d'une vue à une autre. Dans chaque affichage, vous pouvez utiliser les icônes de tri de la barre d'outils pour modifier le classement de vos fichiers dans l'organiseur : par ordre alphabétique, par auteur, par date d'ajout ou de modification, par type de fichier, par taille (en mégaoctets) ou par état de partage. Placez le pointeur au-dessus d'une icône de tri pour l'identifier.

Buzzword et Adobe ConnectNow.

Quelle que soit la méthode de tri choisie, vous pouvez filtrer les fichiers qui apparaissent de manière à accéder rapidement à certains d'entre eux et à masquer temporairement les autres. Pour ajouter un filtre, cliquez sur un en-tête dans votre affichage de tri en cours. Par exemple, lors d'un tri par taille de fichier, cliquez sur un en-tête de taille tel que Moins de 1 Mo afin d'afficher uniquement les fichiers de cette taille dans l'organiseur.

Après avoir appliqué un filtre, vous pouvez trier les fichiers restants à l'aide d'une autre méthode de

tri. Vous pouvez également appliquer des filtres supplémentaires pour cibler davantage l'affichage de vos fichiers. Par exemple, après avoir affiché uniquement des fichiers de moins de 1 Mo, vous pouvez les trier par type de fichier. Cliquez ensuite sur l'en-tête d'un type de fichier tel que Fichier texte afin d'afficher uniquement les fichiers texte. Les filtres que vous avez appliqués, dans ce cas Taille de fichier et Type de fichier, s'affichent sous forme de titre au-dessus des fichiers affichés. Cliquez sur la flèche en regard du titre d'un filtre pour afficher un menu contenant d'autres options pour ce filtre particulier. Par exemple, si vous filtrez par type de fichier pour afficher uniquement des fichiers texte, vous pouvez modifier le filtre afin d'afficher uniquement des documents Microsoft Word.

Cliquez sur la croix (X) au niveau du titre d'un filtre pour supprimer le filtre. Les filtres peuvent être supprimés dans n'importe quel ordre. Les filtres non supprimés sont donc appliqués. Par exemple, vous appliquez les filtres Moins de 1 Mo et Fichiers texte et supprimez le filtre Taille de fichier. Dans ce cas, tous les fichiers texte s'affichent et pas uniquement les fichiers texte de moins de 1 Mo. Supprimez tous les filtres pour afficher tous les fichiers.
