Adobe Acrobat Professional – A Lawyer’s Best Friend
September 25, 2008 by Brian J. Ritchey · Leave a Comment
For those who don’t have the professional version of Adobe Acrobat – get it. There is just too much you can do with this application to not have a copy of it available. No matter if you practice primarily in litigation or transactional law, Acrobat Pro is a must-have tool for lawyers.
Version 9 adds some new features that are geared 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
The feature I like best in version 9, though, is the new PDF Portfolios. Click here to see a video outlining the features of PDF Portfolios.
With the ability to do Bates numbering, redact documents, create forms, collaborate with others, all without sacrificing security, Adobe Acrobat Professional is a must-have application for lawyers.
As an added bonus, Rick Borstein of Adobe has a blog for legal professionals where he provides ways to utilize Acrobat in a legal environment. You can view his blog by clicking here.
