Acrobat XI is Here and Coming Soon to Creative Cloud

We’re happy to announce  Acrobat XI., which will soon be available for Creative Cloud members.  Acrobat XI eliminates inefficiencies in the conversion between document formats and makes documents flow more smoothly between users. For creative pros, a newly added feature enables users to mark up and annotate PDFs on tablets and smartphones, so you can easily work on the go. Along with the extensive editing systems and the expanded security within the program, there are a host of new additions that make this the most comprehensive version to date and the friendliest to the freelancer or on-to-go designer.

Easily Edit PDFs

It is easier than ever to edit existing text and images, in addition to preserving reflow of text and saving time. And do it on the go, with the ability edit PDFs on tablets and smartphones.

Export to PowerPoint

Save significant time reusing existing slides in PDF format with the seamless transitions that Acrobat XI provides.

Get Signoff Electronically

Through integration with Adobe EchoSign, the signing and approval process is simplified and more transparent, making it easy to get projects kicked off.

End-to-end Web and PDF Form Design, Distribution, Data Collection and Analysis Workflows

Adobe FormsCentral and the FormsCentral desktop app via the cloud integrates with Acrobat XI Pro and streamlines client service request forms, customer surveys, online ordering, and more. Use existing PDF forms – such as those created in InDesign CS6 – start from scratch or take advantage of convenient templates.

Customize Your UI

Acrobat XI Pro UI can be fully customized through custom tool sets, allowing users to customize the toolbar and Tools pane with only the tools they need specifically for their work. These tools can also be organized and categorized with user preferences in mind.

    Sounds great! But does it blend well with print drivers? My largest complaint about acrobat since its inception has been how it seems to fight with many printer drivers in an office setting on various software types.

    The addition of export to pdf from the other adobe packages really helped with that issue. But one day it would be nice to not have to fight with your software to rotate it to print the correct orientation on your printer, or not have to select a custom page size and number of copies 3 times before it sticks. Can you do that XI?

      We’ve actually made some fairly substantial usability improvements
      to the Acrobat XI Print Dialog Box. Options such as ‘Choose paper source
      by PDF page size’ being available and on by default in Acrobat XI will really
      help with your PDF printing needs. The print experience in Acrobat XI is
      built around the default settings of your printers. Acrobat XI continues
      to give users tools to customize their print jobs, but we really focused on
      making the printing process function seamlessly with the operating system.

    Acrobat on creative cloud provides the ability to create a form using forms central. But, forms central doesn’t seem to be included along with the creative cloud. That stops me from using forms central. I have a creative cloud team and it does not seem worth buying another seperate subscription for forms central.
