Acrobat 9 Announced! New Features for the Legal Market

By Rick Borstein

Acrobat 9 was announced today! The new version will ship sometime in the next month or so. Here's a link to the Acrobat 9 Press Release.

Acrobat 9 includes many new features of interest to legal professionals!

• Enhanced Redaction and Bates Numbering
• File splitting
• Better Save to Word with flowing text
• PDF Portfolios (Packages on steroids!)
• More powerful Document Comparison

You can check out demo movies I've made of the major new features . . . read on to learn more.

One thing that blew me away is that Acrobat 9 is F-A-S-T! It launches in one-third the time of previous versions and generally feels a lot snappier in use.

All versions of Acrobat can now play Flash content natively. You can embed Flash movies (SWF and FLV) files and play them right in Acrobat. That means you can embed deposition and audio interviews and know that the recipient can play them with confidence.

Adobe is also be launching a new service called Acrobat.com.

Acrobat.com is a collection of free hosted services that you can use to work with people inside and outside your organization,
across geographies and firewalls.

Acrobat 9 users can work with Acrobat.com as a central location for certain document processes such as Shared Review, Form Data Collection and more.

Acrobat.com also offers two amazing, free features:

• 5GB of hosted storage
• Free 3-person web conferencing so you can share your screen, show documents, present and even show your face on your webcam

See and learn about all the new stuff! Read on . . .
