The PDF as a solution for creating archives for both paper and electronic documents.

Managing various documents and reviews while handling big rolls of drawings can be inefficient and time-consuming—not to mention wasted money reproducing and distributing for reviewers and team members far away. There is a better, more efficient way.  In this guide, you'll learn how Acrobat 8 Professional can help you compile one comprehensive PDF that:
   
• Makes it easier to view and work with large-format documents—using pan and zoom functions that mimic CAD
• Makes it simple for non-CAD users to view and manipulate
• Simplifies shared reviews in real-time—without IT assistance—for faster collaboration
• Achieves PDF/A compliance—using industry-standard forms
• Improves security that allows you to grant or restrict user access and activity—with 128-bit encryption
