SEMINARS : COURSE DETAILS

PDF - Beyond the Basics

Accountants work with Portable Data Format (PDF) files nearly every day and yet know little about them. PDF files can be edited, annotated, and merged and pages extracted or even deleted.  Passwords or digital signatures can be applied and access restricted. PDF files are now the recognized standard format for digital documents, and many businesses continue the migration toward a paperless environment. So, what do you know about PDF files?

 

Using Adobe Acrobat and other tools, this seminar will provide the key information you need to create and use PDF files in your business. Learn the differences between the Adobe Acrobat Standard and Professional versions and which is right for you. Also, learn about other third party products which can be used to create PDF documents directly from any Windows application Print command or from Adobe embedded menu icons.  Learn to annotate a PDF and how to convert non-protected PDF files to Word and Excel format files.  The instructor will demonstrate the use of a digital signature, how to apply it to a PDF to prevent a PDF from being modified as well as how to properly secure PDF documents.  If this is not enough, we will also review the Acrobat Forms Designer tool and demonstrate how to create custom forms and extract data from completed documents.

 

This session will also provide a brief overview to creating PDF files from scanned hardcopy images and how to transmit electronic files safely over the Internet. As important as Excel is to accountants, PDF tools are quickly becoming just as important. Learn to work smarter with digital documents while saving the costs of printing and improving productivity.
