Discover how you can use the document security and digital signature features in Acrobat 9 to: Apply password protection to a file to protect access; Set permissions to restrict printing, copying or altering; Certify the contents of a PDF file; Sign certified documents; Apply server-based security policies to PDF files; Create a digital ID; Apply digital IDs to authenticate documents; Modify signature appearance, and much more.

Acrobat 9 gives you all the tools you need to ensure your PDF documents are secure. You don’t need to secure every PDF file you create, but when you want to restrict access to your document or prevent further changes or edits to the content, it’s good to know how to do it.

Ali has been involved with Acrobat since version 2 and as an Adobe Certified Expert, has been a featured speaker at several conferences and online events…. But if that isn’t enough to sign up, register for the eSeminar now for a chance to win a copy of the Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF Bible by Ted Padova!

One great example is The Adobe Partner Connection Training Provider Program which is available globally and provides users with expert training for Adobe software, including Acrobat.  The program’s instructors meet ongoing certification requirements by Adobe, so trainings are always up-to-date, and they’re available onsite at users’ companies or at an Adobe Authorized Training Center.

Have you gone through this training program and/or are an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) or Adobe Certified Associate (ACA)? Any tips to share with the rest of our readers?

There’s no formula for the perfect form. What’s great about creating forms with Acrobat 9 is the versatility you have. With the Forms Wizard feature of Acrobat 9 you can convert anything into a PDF form – Microsoft Word and Excel documents, scanned paper, or any other document which can be converted into a PDF file. Form fields are automatically recognized and converted to fillable fields making it easy for your clients, students, prospects, or applicants to complete. Because it’s a PDF document, anyone using free Adobe Reader software can fill in and save the content. No more printing and faxing.

And after you’ve created the form and distributed it for use, you can use the Form Tracker feature to see when the form was completed and who completed it. And you can review all your responses and then easily export the data to a spreadsheet for analysis and reporting.

If you need a form in a hurry, check out the forms gallery at AcrobatUsers.com. There are more than a dozen ready-made templates for a variety of forms. You can download the template and tailor it for your mortgage brokerage, law firm or PTA potluck dinner sign up.

If you’ve created a form that works well for your business and you want to share it with the Acrobat community, you can do so. The community is always looking for useful, relevant templates to augment what’s already available, so we encourage your creativity and look forward to your submissions.

I guess forms can be kind of fun!
