A Panoply of PDF Pieces: Latest Technolawyer SmallLaw Columns

By Ross

Alright, I agree, that was a pathetic effort at alliteration but it’s true! I’ve been writing a series of PDF-related columns for my Technolawyer SmallLaw contributions over the last couple of months. I’ve written detailed “how to” guides on:

• PDF Packaging - how to create “electronic three ring binders” to organize client and firm administrative documents. Examples include electronic versions of traditional estate planning binders, firm HR documents, discovery indices and much more. See the column here.
• Searchable PDFs – how to turn “image” PDFs into searchable or “accessible” PDFs. Most of you want and need to do this – it opens up PDF content not only to be searched but also to be leveraged by copying and pasting it into other programs, such as documents or emails. See the column here.
• Typewriters Begone! – how to use the Typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat to fill in pre-printed forms onscreen, including full editing ability. See the column here.

In future editions, I’ll be writing about Bates Stamping, Secure Redaction and using the Commenting functions to review PDF documents. Watch for them with your free subscription to Technolawyer and specifically to receive the SmallLaw column, distributed weekly via email.
