Palio, a global communications division of inVentiv Health, is transforming marketing and pharmaceutical product education with the help of Adobe software. Palio utilizes dynamic PDF Portfolio capabilities available in Acrobat Pro to create content- and media-rich digital documents. These deliverables—including patient education briefings and global marketing guidelines—have resulted in tremendous savings for clients by accelerating document development and updating, as well as eliminating printing costs. In addition, the PDF documents Palio develops for clients help facilitate compliance with important FDA regulations because of the advanced 256-bit encryption security feature.

Palio appreciates the intuitive design and functionality of Adobe software, which has enabled print designers at the agency to create interactive materials with minimal support. Using Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium, print designers can add interactive elements and animations to documents that enable sales representatives to deliver dynamic, engaging presentations conveniently on tablets and other devices to quickly gain attention.

Palio is also experimenting with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to further simplify publishing dynamic, engaging content across devices.

Canon—one of the world’s most well-known camera and printer manufacturers—rolled out its “One-Canon” initiative to unify the company’s software footprint. For PDF, Canon turned to Adobe and delivered Adobe Acrobat to 11,000 employees—standardizing desktops with best-in-class software, eliminating compatibility issues, and simplifying IT administration.

For employees, standardizing desktops has offered additional flexibility and functionality to keep the business moving forward. Canon employees leverage the “quick tool” function in Acrobat X to tailor the toolbar for job-specific use—placing the most frequently used capabilities at employee’s fingertips. This functionality has helped improve employee efficiency, accelerate training, and reduce support costs.

Adobe Acrobat also helps improve collaboration across project teams worldwide with dependable PDF documents. With the majority of collateral originally developed at Canon’s headquarters in Tokyo and customization occurring locally, commenting and markup features enable local managers to note changes to materials, and securely share collateral with agencies for layout—creating a seamless workflow.

Facing a challenging economic climate putting pressure on clients’ legal budgets and with the rules of the new U.K. Supreme Court calling for electronic filing of court documents, leading U.K. law firm Herbert Smith wanted to revamp many of its administrative, document-based processes.

To help achieve that goal, the innovative firm adopted Adobe Acrobat software to accelerate assembling case documents, more securely redact information, improve collaboration across legal teams, and support completing and processing business forms. In just assembling case documents alone, the firm is using Acrobat to cut the time needed to build and repaginate case books from hours to minutes.

An added advantage of using Acrobat is the ability to more securely share information across legal teams, inside and outside the firm. In addition to reliably redacting sensitive content from case documents, the firm’s staff can encrypt and password protect PDF files that are delivered to outside teams, helping better safeguard sensitive case details. For Herbert Smith, Acrobat is becoming an integral tool to support many everyday operations at the firm—to learn more about the time and efficiency gains the busy legal teams at Herbert Smith have achieved click here: http://adobe.ly/mPRhPl

Peter Dubbelman, consultant in information and communication technologies (ICT) at Movares B.V., recently talked to us about how the engineering consultancy firm is using Adobe Acrobat and dynamic PDF capabilities.

With Adobe Acrobat, the company is streamlining and accelerating collaboration across project teams with reliable, more secure documents in PDF. Millions of technical drawings and specification documents created by Movares teams in the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland must be shared, reviewed, and revised on an ongoing basis. By implementing Adobe Acrobat, Movares is able to maintain the visual fidelity of key technical drawings and specification documents. Adobe Acrobat allows large, dispersed Movares teams to share and comment on documents.

Adobe Acrobat also protects sensitive materials from unauthorized access or tampering using digital signatures, encryption, and password protection. Permissions settings limit who can print, copy, or change documents. Movares preserves documents electronically by adopting the reliable, proven PDF/A standard for document archiving. The company appreciates the ease of packaging and deploying Acrobat X throughout the firm.
