To open the Acrobat JavaScript console from within Acrobat: 1. Open the debugger window using one of these methods: Select Advanced > JavaScript > Debugger, or Type Ctrl-j (Windows) or Command-j (Macintosh) 2. Select either Console or Script and Console from the debuggers View list. To open and close the console from Acrobat JavaScript code, use console.show() and console.hide(), respectively.

Executing JavaScript

The Acrobat JavaScript Console allows you to evaluate single or multiple lines of code. There are three ways to evaluate JavaScript code while using the interactive console:
To evaluate a portion of a line of code, highlight the portion and press either the Enter key on the numeric keypad or type Ctrl+Enter on the regular keyboard. To evaluate a single line of code, make sure the cursor is positioned on that line and press either the Enter key on the numeric keypad or type Ctrl+Enter on the regular keyboard. To evaluate multiple lines of code, highlight those lines and press either the Enter key on the numeric keypad or type Ctrl+Enter on the regular keyboard.
In all cases, the result of the most recent single JavaScript statement executed is displayed in the console.
Exercise: Working with the JavaScript Console

Formatting Code

To indent code in the JavaScript console, use the Tab key.
To indent four spaces to the right, position the cursor at the beginning of a single line or highlight the block of code, and press the Tab key. To indent four spaces to the left, position the cursor at the beginning of a single line or highlight a block of code and press Shift+Tab.
To complete this exercise, you will need Acrobat Professional installed on your machine.
In this exercise you will verify that JavaScript is enabled for Acrobat and begin working with the Acrobat JavaScript Console to edit and evaluate code. At the end of the exercise you will be able to:
Enable or disable Acrobat JavaScript. Enable or disable the JavaScript debugger. Open the Acrobat Console. Evaluate code in the console window.

Enabling JavaScript

In order to use Acrobat JavaScript, you must first verify that JavaScript has been enabled. In order to execute code from the Acrobat Console, you will also need to ensure that the JavaScript Debugger is enabled, since the console window is a component within the JavaScript Debugger interface. Enable JavaScript, the Debugger, and the Console by performing the following steps (see Figure 2.1 below): 1. Launch Acrobat. 2. Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog box. 3. Select JavaScript from the list of options on the left side of the dialog box. 4. Select Enable Acrobat JavaScript if it is not already selected. 5. In the Preferences dialog box, select Enable JavaScript Debugger after Acrobat is restarted from the JavaScript Debugger options. 6. Select Enable interactive console. This option enables you to evaluate code that you write in the console window. 7. Select Show console on errors and messages. This ensures that whenever you make mistakes, the console displays helpful information. 8. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box. 9. Close and restart Acrobat.

7. When the code is complete, click Close to close the editor. If there are errors in your code, the JavaScript editor highlights the code line in question and display an error message, as shown below in Figure 2.7.
FIGURE 2.7 Error detected by the JavaScript Editor
In Figure 2.7, the quotation mark to the right of the string is missing.
JavaScript actions have a scope associated with various levels of objects in a PDF document, such as a form field, a page, or the entire document. For example, a script at the document level would be available from all other scriptable locations within the document.
Specifying the Default JavaScript Editor
You may choose whether to use the built-in JavaScript Editor that comes with Acrobat, or an external JavaScript editor of your choice. To set the default editor, invoke the Preferences dialog box as shown in Figure 2.1 above and in Figure 2.8 below: 1. Choose Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog box. 2. Select JavaScript from the list of options on the left side of the dialog box. This brings up the Preferences dialog box. 3. In the JavaScript Editor section, select the editor you would like to use.
FIGURE 2.8 Selecting the Editor in Preferences
The Acrobat JavaScript Editor option sets the built-in Acrobat JavaScript Editor as the default. The External JavaScript Editor option sets an external editor as the default. To choose this option, click Browse. to specify the path to the desired JavaScript editor.
For some external editors, Acrobat provides extra command line options for invoking the editor. For details, see Additional Editor Capabilities.
Using the Built-in Acrobat JavaScript Editor
Like the Acrobat JavaScript Console, the built-in Acrobat JavaScript Editor can be used to evaluate portions of JavaScript code. Select a line or block of code to be evaluated, and press the Enter key on the numeric keypad or Ctrl+Enter on the regular keyboard. In this case, the results of the JavaScript expressions or statements are displayed in the Console window, so you will also need to open the Acrobat JavaScript Console to see them. This is how you may keep the results separate from your Acrobat JavaScript code. The Acrobat JavaScript Editor provides the same formatting options as those in the console window. For details, see Formatting Code.

Using an External Editor

If an external editor program has been specified as the default application for editing JavaScripts in Acrobat, Acrobat generates a temporary file and opens it in the external editor program. When editing a file in an external editor, note the following restrictions:
You must save the file in order for Acrobat to detect the changes. Acrobat is inaccessible while the external editor is in use. Acrobat JavaScript code cannot be evaluated within the external editor.

Testing Whether Your Editor Will Open at Syntax Error Locations
To determine whether Acrobat can open your editor on a line number, do the following: 1. Open a script in your editor. 2. Add a syntax error. 3. Move the cursor to a line other than the one containing the syntax error. 4. Close and save the file. If a dialog automatically appears prompting you to fix the syntax error, check whether it correctly specifies the line containing the error. Saving and Closing a File with a Syntax Error If you save and close a file containing a syntax error, Acrobat displays a dialog with a message asking if you would like to fix the error. For example, if there is an error on line 123, the following message appears: There is a JavaScript error at line 123. Do you want to fix the error?
If you click No, Acrobat discards your file.
Always click Yes. Acrobat expands the path to the editor to include the line number in the specified syntax. The editor opens and the cursor is placed on line 123.
Using the Acrobat JavaScript Debugger
The Acrobat JavaScript Debugger is a fully capable JavaScript debugger that allows you to set breakpoints and inspect variable values while stepping through code. While it is normally accessed from the Acrobat Professional user interface, it can also be triggered to appear in Adobe Reader when an exception occurs. Though fully supported Acrobat JavaScript debugging is only available in Acrobat Professional, the following instructions to make the complete debugger functionality available in Adobe Reader on Windows and Macintosh platforms are provided as a courtesy. Note that this procedure involves editing the registry. Adobe Systems Incorporated does not provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. It is recommended that you back up the registry before modifying it. 1. The file debugger.js, available at http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/docs.jsp or in the SDK installation (Acrobat 7.0 SDK/JavaScriptSupport/Debugger/debugger.js), must be copied to the Acrobat 7.0/Reader/JavaScripts folder. 2. Create key/value pairs in the registry settings, starting at the location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\JSPrefs\ on Windows as shown below in Table 2.2, or in the property list file <user>:Library:Preferences:com.adobe.Reader7.0.plist on the Macintosh. For the Macintosh, use an appropriate editor for the property list file, and add the following children under JSPrefs, using Type : Array in each case: Console Open, Console Input, Enable Debugger, and Exceptions. Under each of these children, add the following children: 0 (number) and 1 (boolean). 3. Close and restart Adobe Reader. At this point the debugger will be available.

Be aware that it is not possible to step into native functions, since they have no JavaScript implementation. This applies to Acrobat native functions as well as core JavaScript functions.

Debugger Scripts Window

The Step Out button executes the remaining code within the current function call and stops at the instruction immediately following the call. This button provides a convenient means of eliminating cumbersome, stepwise execution of functions that do not contain bugs. If you are not inside a function call and there are no errors, the Step Out button continues executing code to the end of the current script or until a breakpoint is encountered.
All scripts associated with a PDF file are available in the debugger dialog. The debugger displays these in the Scripts window (see Figure 2.12 below for an example).
FIGURE 2.12 Scripts window
Accessing Scripts in the Scripts Window
To display the content a script, click the triangle to its left in the Scripts window. Each triangle opens the next level in the containment hierarchy. A script icon indicates the lowest level, which means that the code for the given function is available. As shown above in Figure 2.12, a function has been defined for a mouse-up action on a button named Button1. Click on the script icon to display its code. Acrobat JavaScripts can be stored in several places, which may be either inside or outside PDF files. The following sections describe their possible locations.

Scripts Inside PDF Files

Table 2.5 below lists the types of scripts contained in PDF files. These can be accessed from the Scripts window within the debugger dialog. You can edit them from inside the debugger, and set breakpoints as described in Breakpoints on page 58.
Changes to scripts do not take effect until the scripts are re-run; changes cannot be applied to a running script.

Since XML is often the basis for information exchange within Web Services and enterprise infrastructures, it may often be useful to convert your PDF documents into XML format. It is a straightforward process to do this using the doc objects saveAs method, which not only performs the conversion to XML, but also to a number of other formats. In order to convert your PDF document to a given format, you will need to determine the device-independent path to which you will save your file, and the conversion ID used to save in the desired format. A list of conversion IDs for all formats is provided in the ASN documentation. For XML, the conversion ID is "com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00". The following code converts the current PDF file to C:\test.xml: this.saveAs("/c/test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00");

Print Production

This chapter will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the ways in which you may manage print production workflows for PDF documents.
Use Acrobat JavaScript to automate and control print quality. Determine whether a file will be sent to a printer or a PostScript file. Control how PDF layers are printed.
Topics Printing PDF Documents Printing Documents with Layers Setting Advanced Print Options
Since printing involves sending pages to an output device, there are many options that can affect print quality. Acrobat JavaScript can be used to enhance and automate the use of these options in print production workflows, primarily through the use of the printParams object, whose properties and methods are described below in Table 5.1:
TABLE 5.1 PrintParams Properties

Property

Description Binary printer channel is supported DPI used for bitmaps or rasterizing transparency Uses color override settings Color profile based on available color spaces Wrapper object for printParams constants
binaryOK bitmapDPI colorOverride colorProfile constants
downloadFarEastFonts Sends Far East fonts to the printer fileName firstPage flags fontPolicy gradientDPI interactive lastPage pageHandling pageSubset printAsImage printContent printerName psLevel rasterFlags
Filename is used when printing to a file instead of a printer The first zero-based page to be printed A bit field of flags to control printing options Used to determine when fonts are emitted The DPI used for rasterizing gradients Sets the level of interaction for the user The last zero-based page to be printed How pages will be handled (fit, shrink, or tiled) Even, odd, or all pages are printed Sends pages as large bitmaps Determines whether form fields and comments will be printed The name of the destination printer The level of PostScript emitted to the printer A bit field of flags for outlines, clips, and overprint

If you would like send the file to a particular printer, you may specify the printer by setting the printerName property of the printParams object, as shown in the following example:
var pp = this.getPrintParams(); pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic; pp.printerName = "hp officejet d series"; this.print(pp);

Silent Printing

There are various ways to print a document without requiring user interaction. One way is to use the doc objects print method and set the bSilent attribute to true, as shown in Printing PDF Documents on page 79 and in the following example:
this.print({bUI: false, bSilent: true, bShrinkToFit: true});
If you would like to print without requiring user interaction, but would like to display a progress monitor and automatically disappearing cancel dialog box, use the interactive property as shown in the following example:
var pp = this.getPrintParams(); pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
There are many options you may choose without requiring user interaction. For example, you can select the paper tray:
var fv = pp.constants.flagValues; pp.flags |= fv.setPageSize;
These coding approaches may be used in menus or buttons within a PDF file, may exist at the folder or batch levels, and are available through Acrobat or Adobe Reader 6.0 or later. For more information, see the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference, as well as the Acrobat SDK samples SDKSilentPrint.js and SDKJSSnippet1.pdf.
Printing Documents with Layers
The printParams objects printContent property can be used to control whether document content, form fields, and comments will be printed. In the following example, only the form field contents will be printed (this is useful when sending data to preprinted forms):
var pp = this.getPrintParams(); pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent; pp.printContent = pp.constants.printContent.formFieldsOnly; this.print(pp);
Setting Advanced Print Options
You can set the printParams objects properties to specify advanced options including output, marks and bleeds, transparency flattening, PostScript options, and font options. Specifying Output Settings You may obtain a listing of printer color spaces available by invoking the app objects printColorProfiles method. You may then assign one of these values to the printParams objects colorProfile property. In addition, you may set the printParams objects flags property to specify advanced Output settings, such as applying proof settings, shown in the example below:

TABLE 6.2 Format Options

buttonAlignX, buttonAlignY buttonFitBounds, buttonScaleHow, buttonScaleWhen highlight style numItems editable multipleSelection
Button Properties We will begin by creating a button named myButton:
var f = this.addField("myButton", "button", 0, [200, 250, 250, 400]);
To create a blue border along the edges of its surrounding rectangle, we will set its strokeColor property: f.strokeColor = color.blue; In addition, you may select from one of the following choices to specify its border style: solid (border.s), beveled (border.b), dashed (border.d), inset (border.i), or underline (border.u). In this case we will make the border appear beveled by setting its borderStyle property:
f.borderStyle = border.b;
To set the line thickness (in points) of the border, set its lineWidth property:

f.setExportValues(["buy"]);
If there are several check box fields, you may wish to indicate that one particular form field is always checked by default. To do this, you must do two things: 1. Invoke the fields defaultIsChecked method. Note that since there may be several check boxes that belong to the same group, the method requires that you specify the zero-based index of the particular check box. 2. Reset the field to ensure that the default is applied by invoking the doc objects resetForm method. This process is shown in the following code:
f.defaultIsChecked(0); // 0 means that check box #0 is checked this.resetForm([f.name]);
Combo Box Properties The combo box has the same properties as the button and check box fields. Its primary differences lie in its nature. Since the combo box maintains an item list in which the user may be allowed to enter custom text, it offers several properties that support its formatting options. If you would like the user to be permitted to enter custom text, set the fields editable property, as shown in the following code:

f.editable = true;

You may decide whether the users custom text will be checked for spelling by setting its doNotSpellCheck property. The following code indicates that the spelling is not checked:
f.doNotSpellCheck = true;
A combo box may interact with the user in one of two ways: either a selection automatically results in a response, or the user first makes their selection and then takes a subsequent action, such as clicking a Submit button. In the first case, as soon as the user clicks on an item in the combo box, an action may automatically be triggered. If you would like to design your combo box this way, then set its commitOnSelChange property to true. Otherwise, set the value to false. The following code commits the selected value immediately:
f.commitOnSelChange = true;
To set the export values for the combo box items, invoke its setItems method, which can be used to set both the user and export values. In this case, the user value (the value that appears in the combo box) is the first value in every pair, and the export value is the second. The following code results in the full state names appearing in the combo box, with abbreviated state names as their corresponding export values:
f.setItems( ["Ohio", "OH"], ["Oregon", "OR"], ["Arizona", "AZ"] );

Template Syntax and Usage
In this first example, all the templates will be spawned once, the field names will not be unique in each resultant page (bRename will be false), and the resultant pages will be appended to the end of the document (bOverlay will be false). The oXObject parameter will be used to prevent size inflation:
// Obtain the collection of templates: var t = this.templates; // Spawn each template once as a page appended at the end: for (var i = 0; i < t.length; i++) t[i].spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
In this next example, the same template will be spawned 10 times, will overlay onto pages 0 through 9 (bOverlay will be true), and the field names will be unique on each page (bRename will be true):
// Obtain the template: var t = this.templates; var T = t[0]; // Prevent file size inflation by using the XObject. Do this by // spawning once, saving the result (an XObject), and passing // the resultant XObject to the oXObject parameter in // the subsequent calls to the spawn method: var XO = T.spawn(0, true, true); for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++) T.spawn(i, true, true, XO);
In this next example, we will retrieve the template named myTemplate, overlay it onto pages 5 through 10 (bOverlay will be true), and use the same field names on each page (bRename will be false):
// Obtain the template name "myTemplate": var t = this.getTemplate("myTemplate"); // Prevent file size inflation: var XO = t.spawn(5, true, false); // Spawn the remaining pages: for (var i = 6; i <= 10; i++) t.spawn(i, true, false, XO);
Modifying the User Interface
This chapter will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the ways in which you may present and modify the user interface. You will learn how to use Acrobat JavaScript to access the Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM), customize navigation in PDF documents, customize PDF layers, and manage print production.
Create modal dialogs through Acrobat JavaScript access to ADM. Add and customize navigation in PDF documents. Customize the properties and behavior or PDF layers. Understand how to manage print production of PDF documents.
Topics Using Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) in Acrobat JavaScript Adding Navigation to PDF Documents Working with PDF Layers
Using Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) in Acrobat JavaScript
The Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) is a cross-platform API for implementing dialog-based user interfaces in a uniform way for Adobe applications such as Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. Acrobat JavaScript provides a convenient interface to ADM through which you may implement modal dialogs containing list objects and other controls normally included in graphical user interfaces, including buttons, text, text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, progress bars, scroll bars, and sliders. These are summarized below in Table 10.1.

oFields: an array of attributes to be used in the search bCustom: whether the attributes are standard output attribute names For example, the following code specifies standard output attributes (certificates and email):
dc.setOutputAttributes({oFields: ["certificates", "email"]});
To perform the search, invoke the DirConnection objects search method, which accepts the following parameters:
oParams: an array of key-value pairs consisting of search attribute names and their corresponding strings cGroupName: the name of the group to which to restrict the search bCustom: whether oParams contains standard attribute names bUI: whether a user interface is used to collect the search parameters
In the following example, the directory is searched for certificates for the user whose last name is "Smith", and displays the users email address:
var retval = dc.search({oParams: {lastName: "Smith"}}); if (retval.length > 0) console.println(retval[0].email);
Encrypting PDF Files Using Security Policies
It is possible to define a security policy for a PDF document. The policy can contain a list of people who can open the document, restrictions limiting their ability to modify, print, or copy the document, and an expiration date for the document after which it cannot be opened. There are two kinds of security policies: a custom policy is one created by a user and is stored on a local computer, and a corporate policy is developed by an organization and stored on a policy server such as LiveCycle Policy Server). There are three types of custom policies. You may create policies for password security, certificate security, and policies used on LiveCycle Policy Server. Acrobat JavaScript defines a securityPolicy object that contains the following properties:
id: a machine-readable policy id string name: the policy name description: the policy description
lastModified: the date when the policy was last modified handler: the handler that implements the policy (Adobe.APS, Adobe.PubSec, and Adobe.Standard) target: the target data covered by the policy (document or attachments) To obtain a list of the security policies currently available, invoke the security objects getSecurityPolicies method, which accepts two parameters: oOptions: a securityPolicyOptions object containing parameters used to filter

the list

bUI: determines whether the user interface will be displayed (affects bCheckOnline in the oOptions parameter)
The securityPolicyOptions object is a generic object used to filter the list of security policies that will be returned by the method, and contains the following properties:

Establishing an ADBC Connection
There are normally two steps required to establish an ADBC connection. First, obtain a list of accessible databases by invoking the ADBC objects getDataSourceList method. Then establish the connection by passing the Data Source Name (DSN) of one of the databases in the list to the ADBC objects newConnection method. The getDataSourceList method returns an array of DataSourceInfo generic objects, each of which contains the following properties:
name: a string identifying the database description: a description containing specific information about the database
In the following example, a list of all available databases is retrieved, and the DSN of the DataSourceInfo object representing Q32000Data is identified and stored in variable DB:
// Obtain a list of accessible databases: var databaseList = ADBC.getDataSourceList(); // Search the DataSourceInfo objects for the Q32000Data database: if (databaseList != null) { var DB = ""; for (var i=0; i<databaseList.length; i++) if (databaseList[i].name == "Q32000Data") { DB = databaseList[i].name; break; } }
To establish the database connection, invoke the ADBC objects newConnection method, which accepts the following parameters:
cDSN: the Data Source Name (DSN) of the database cUID: the user ID cPWD: the password
The newConnection method returns a connection object, which encapsulates the connection by providing methods which allow you to create a statement object, obtain information about the list of tables in the database or columns within a table, and close the connection. In the following example, a connection is established with the Q32000Data database:
if (DB != "") { // Connect to the database and obtain a Connection object: var myConnection = ADBC.newConnection(DB.name); }
The connection object provides the methods shown below in Table 14.1:
TABLE 14.1 Connection Object
Description Closes the database connection Creates a statement object used to execute SQL statements Retrieves information about the tables within the database Retrieves information about the various columns within a table
close newStatement getTableList getColumnList
The connection objects getTableList method returns an array of TableInfo generic objects, each of which corresponds to a table within the database and contains the following properties:

Changing all the members role on the selected file in the workspace
Move a file to a different workspace
Once a file is in a workspace, you can move it to a different workspace or folder, if you have permission to do so. For example, if you are a workspace participant, you cannot move a file unless you are the author of the file.
Do either of the following:
Select the file in the organizer and click the Share File button. Then select Move It To A Different Workspace. Select the workspace you want to move the file to, and the folder (if applicable). Click Move. Drag the file to the new location. You can also select multiple files and drag them.
Organize files using tags
Use tags to categorize files you have access to. You can tag files stored anywhere in your organizer. Adding a tag to a file or removing a tag from a file does not change its permissions or its location. For example, tagging a file stored in a shared workspace does not change who can access the file. Nor does it change permissions for other individuals with access to the file. A file can have multiple tags for quick access. For example, you can tag a file as Work to signify that this file is work-related. You can tag the same file as Urgent to signify that the file requires immediate attention. In the organizer, the Tags pane contains some predefined files tagged as Getting Started. Files that have not been tagged and are not part of a shared workspace are listed in Uncategorized Files. The tags you create are listed in alphabetical order.
1 In the Tags pane of the organizer, click New Tag. 2 Enter a name for the tag and press Enter. 3 Tag files using any method described in the onscreen instructions. If you use the file context menu

to tag a file,

you can tag it with multiple tags. You can also create a tag from the dialog box.
A file can have one or multiple tags.
4 Delete or rename a tag by opening its context menu and selecting the appropriate command.
Organize files in workspaces on page 7
Chapter 3: Upload and share files

Upload and preview files

Supported file formats for uploading and importing
From the organizer, upload and share any of the file formats (or file types) listed in this TechNote. Note: Uploaded files can be no larger than 100 MB. When you select Import from the menu bar, Acrobat.com converts the file to the appropriate application and opens it for editing. For example, if the file content is text and its extension is.txt, then the document is imported into Buzzword.

Imported file type Converted to Acrobat.com file

Share files for collaboration
Acrobat.com lets you share files in your organizer with others without sending the files by e-mail. You can share files three ways: Move a file into a shared workspace; share files with individuals; publish files so anyone with the URL can access the file. Files get uploaded or created into a workspace if you first select the workspace in the organizer. If you select a tag, files are tagged accordingly and added to your personal workspace. Set the access level for files that you uploaded or created. The access level controls how others, particularly groups, interact with a document. Note: File access settings are different from user roles, which are assigned to each person you share a document with. To learn more about access levels and what privileges each user role allows, see Roles for collaboration on page 18.
Move a file to a shared workspace
1 From the organizer, select a file and click Share File in the lower-left corner of the window. 2 Select the option Move It To A Shared Workspace.

Upload and share files

3 Select the workspace or folder and click Move.
Note: Once a file is in a shared workspace, you can move it to a different workspace by using the Share File menu.
Share files with individuals

No Access When a file is created in Acrobat.com or uploaded from your computer, it is accessible only to the author
of the document. By default, no other users have access to the new document. The file must be shared before other users gain access to it.
Owner The workspace member who created the workspace and has full administrative privileges. Administrator Workspace members who can add other members to the workspace and remove any members files. Participant A general name for workspace members who are not owners or administrators. Participants can add, view,
and download files and create folders.
Reader Users with the document URL can read and download the document by signing in to Acrobat.com if the file
is not published. Readers can copy the document and share it with others if the author has enabled this permission. Depending on the application, readers may be able to print, download, or export the file.
Reviewer (Buzzword) Users with the document URL can retrieve and read the document by signing in to Acrobat.com. Reviewers can make limited modifications, such as adding comments. The modification time is automatically updated when someone adds a comment. Contributor (Tables) Users with the document URL can read the table by signing in to Acrobat.com. The file gets
added to the users organizer and can be accessed there in the future. Contributors can add data or modify it in any of the cells within a table. But, they cannot modify the table structure by adding or modifying table columns.
Co-author Users with the document URL can read the document by signing in to Acrobat.com. Co-authors have the same permissions as the author of the document, except that they cannot delete a file from everyones organizer. Coauthors can add comments, edit the document, or upload a new document and replace the existing one on Acrobat.com.

Set workspace roles

When you share a workspace, you assign a workspace role to members. A persons workspace role determines what they can do in the workspace. Members keep their roles throughout the workspace. For example, if you are an administrator of the workspace, you are administrator of all folders within the workspace. Removing a member from the folder removes that member from the workspace. By default, workspace members are participants.
To change the workspace role of members, select the workspace and click Show Members in the upper-right corner
of the window. Open the context menu next to the name of the workspace and select or deselect Administrator. To change the workspace role of individual members, open the context menu next to their name.
What you can do Add, remove workspace members Remove oneself from the workspace Delete a workspace Rename a workspace Designate administrators Create a file Delete a file x x x x x x x x x x file owner only x file owner only Owner x Administrator x x x Participant

you do not have author or co-author privileges for that comment.

Printing comments

When you print a Buzzword document, comments are automatically printed, unless you deselect the option from the Print dialog box (Document > Print). The format of printed comments is different from their format on the screen. When printed, each comment does not appear on the same line as the text to which it applies. Instead, a boxed reference number appears in the right margin at the line where the comment was entered. All comments appear at the end of a printed document. Each one has a reference number that identifies the text to which it applies. All comments are complete with graphics, tables, author name, date, and time the comment was created. Note: You can print only the comments by specifying a range of pages that begins on the page after the last page of the document. For example, if you want to print only the comments for a 30-page document, specify from 31 to 99. You can check the number of pages by looking at the bottom number on the page scroll bar on the right.

Chapter 7: Buzzword

Adobe Buzzword is a word processor that you can use to collaborate on text documents, and review and comment on them online. Toolbars let you organize your text in paragraphs, use bulleted or numbered lists, change fonts, insert images and tables, and check spelling. The Cut, Copy, and Paste commands function the same as any word processor. Within the application, they work with all text, tables, or images, or all three in one selection. Acrobat.com maintains one master copy that you can share and collaborate on simultaneously with as many people as you want. Features that are useful for collaboration include the following:
Assigned user roles and document access Different user roles, author, co-author, reviewer, and reader, allow
collaborators to perform different tasks in a document. Access levels can be set for a document so anyone with the URL can view the document.
Commenting Comments can include text, tables, and images. Document history (versions) A history of document versions and the ability to compare two versions. Collaborator view A Collaborator bar at the bottom of the window shows who is invited to collaborate on a document

Comments Not imported. Lists Because lists in Word include auto-numbered headings that sometimes include ordinary paragraphs, lists with
unnumbered or unbulleted items are not imported as lists. However, the numbering and indenting are retained.
Section breaks Section breaks are treated as page breaks. If headers and footers are based on sections, this link is lost;
the first header and footer that appear are used throughout the document.
Font styles Font size, color, and styles such as bold, italic, underline, and strike-through are retained. All other
variations, such as superscript, subscript, and small caps, are not supported in this release.
Bullet symbols Not every bullet symbol is supported; a default symbol is used at each level. Footnotes Footnotes are converted into endnotes. Image wrapping/alignment For imported images, the following wrapping and alignment are supported: inline with
no wrapping; relative horizontal alignment to a character; and left, right, or center alignment. All other types of alignment are converted to floating left, with an offset that corresponds to the position in the original document.
Tables Tables in text documents follow these rules when converted:
All cells have the same borders. Spannerssingle cells that extend over several columns or rowsexpand to match the maximum number of cells in that row or column. Nested tables are preserved, but with a blank line preceding and following.
Headers/footers supports five fields in headers and footers: document name, owner, most recent date saved, page number, and total pages. Other fields are converted to text strings. Headers and footers aligned left for even-numbered pages are converted to right-aligned format.
Font mapping when importing Word documents When you import a Word document into Buzzword, if the fonts are not on your computer, they are mapped to different fonts. (For fonts not listed, mappings for Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New apply to serif, sans serif, and monospace fonts, respectively.)
Microsoft Word font Georgia Courier New Trebuchet Times New Roman Arial Lucida Sans Unicode Comic Sans MS
.is mapped to Adobe Garamond Pro Courier Std Cronos Pro Minion Pro Myriad Pro New Gothic Std Tekton Pro
Note: When you export a text document to PDF, the font mappings are reversed. Exported images that float with center or right alignment and an offset do not retain the offset in the resulting document.

Compare document versions or revert to a previous version
If you or a collaborator change a document, you can use the History bar to compare differences between two versions of the document. You can also revert to an earlier version of the document. You cant edit a document with the History bar open but you can print the document with the differences displayed. Two modes are available for viewing changes. Interactive markers mode is the default and shows only added content, with markers inserted in the text that show deletions when the mouse hovers over them. Redlines mode shows both the added content (underlined in blue) and deleted content (in red strike-through text). When you select two versions to compare, the differences reflect the sum of the changes made between the times those versions were saved. Note: Some layout changes between versions are not displayed. Brackets [] in Interactive markers mode indicate spaces or empty paragraphs.

1 To insert an image, choose Insert > Image. In the dialog box that appears, click Browse Files to insert an image from
your computer. Or, search the Internet or enter a URL for a specific website. Important: When you select an image from the Internet, click the image source link beneath the image. Check the website to confirm whether the image is public domain or requires permission for use.
2 (Optional) To copy images within and between documents, select an image and choose Edit > Copy. Place the
insertion point in the destination location and choose Edit > Paste. Note: Use Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac OS) to copy. Use Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac OS) to paste.
3 (Optional) To adjust the placement, select the image to view the anchor icon. Drag the image by the anchor to its

new position.

4 To resize an image, select it, and click and hold the corner handles to interactively resize the image. 5 Drag the image to reposition it on the page.
Note: Resizing an image sometimes affects its position on the page. For the most predictable results, use the handle on the lower-right corner of the image for resizing.
Make text flow around an image
1 Expand the Image toolbar and click the image to select it. 2 Select an image alignment option in the toolbar. Each option has a descriptive icon.
Inline options New text added in front of an image pushes the image forward. Floating options The image maintains its position on the page (left, center, or right aligned) as you add text around it.
You can fine-tune a floating alignment by dragging the image to the right or left. You can also enter an exact numeric offset in the field to the right of the alignment icons.
Move an image from the edge of the page
You can specify the amount of space between an image and the left margin, right margin, or center of the page. For example, if you choose Floating Left but do not want the image flush with the left margin, use an offset to move the image. Text wraps within the offset area.
1 Add an image or select an image in the document.
2 On the Image toolbar, select a floating option: left aligned, center, right aligned. 3 In the Offset text box, type a number and click Enter. Use positive numbers for an offset toward the right, and

Add or delete a row or column

1 Choose New > Table.

2 To add a row or column:
Click the plus sign above or below a row, or the plus sign between columns. Select Insert > Row or Insert > Column. Pressing Enter or Return after entering data moves the pointer focus to the next row down. Press Tab at the end of a row to add a new column. Press Enter or Return in the last row of a column to add a new row.
3 To adjust column widths, drag the vertical guides between columns. 4 To delete, copy, or paste the contents of a row, hover the pointer over the row number and select from the row

context menu

5 To select multiple rows or columns, drag across deselected rows/columns. Or, click one row and then Shift-click on
another to select those two rows and all rows in between.
Calculate formulas in a cell, range, or column
In Tables, you can apply a formula to a column, to an individual cell, or to a range of cells. Use summary rows to apply calculations to columns of data. You can copy and paste formulas between cells. Tables allows for both relative and absolute cell references. When you copy a formula with relative cell references (for example, =A1, =A2, and so on), the cell references are automatically updated when pasted in a new location. Use absolute cell references when you want a cell reference to stay fixed on a particular cell (for example, =$A1, =$A2, and so on).

Summary rows

Summary rows allow for complex calculations using entire columns of data. Insert a summary row anywhere in a table and enter a formula in the summary row. For example, if your table includes a column that lists hours worked by employee, and you want to see the total hours worked, enter =SUM(@ColumnName) in the summary row. Acrobat.com Tables applies the formula to all the rows above the summary row in a column. As you add new rows to the column, the row data is automatically included in the summary calculations. This feature is an advantage over traditional spreadsheets where you must re-edit the formula when you add rows to the end of a range. Acrobat.com Tables adjusts the calculation for you automatically. Summary rows can contain formulas or text. For example, you can put the label Total in cell C25 to identify the calculation in cell D25.
1 Add data in at least two rows in a column. Click the Add Summary Row icon
. Or, select the item from the

4 To restrict a data type, select a column and click the Table
5 Choose a data type and format, and then choose an option from the Restrictions pop-up menu.
Only the specified data type can be entered in that column until you deselect the option in the Restrictions pop-up menu.

Format cell contents

Format cells, columns, or the entire table using the toolbar at the top of the Tables application. You can format the text, apply a background color, and adjust the alignment and text wrap.
To format an individual cell, select the cell. To format all the cells in a column or row, click the column or row header. To format the entire table, click the square in the upper-left corner of the table to select all cells in the table.
View data in Private View
Private View is useful for isolating data without changing the column layout or information that others see while theyre working in the table. You can sort, filter, rearrange, and resize columns without affecting the view that everyone else sees. For example, you can filter the Bakery Dept. column to find out how many inventory items contain the word chocolate. Or you can view expenses or sales greater than $10,000 in a specific column. Colleagues do not see the filtering that you do while in Private View. However, if you enter new data, the data is part of the overall worksheet and others see it. All users roles can use Private View.
1 To turn on Private View, click the Views icon 2 Select the Private View icon

Print or export tables

(Delete and Duplicate commands in the Edit menu work with text or images.)
Arrange The Arrange menu lets you place selected objects in relation to other objects on the slide. You can only
arrange objects that you have added to a slide directly (in the Slides tab). You cannot arrange ordinary objects, like shapes and lines, that you add to a slide layout or master. When moving shapes on a slide, the visual guides help you align objects with other objects in the slide or snap them to a preset grid. As you drag a selected object around the screen, thin blue vertical or horizontal lines are displayed at 6-pixel horizontal and vertical increments.
Add text, images, or graphics to a slide and apply a style
You can add text, images, lines, arrows, and an array of geometric shapes to your slides by using the object panel on the right side of the screen. These shapes (objects) can be moved anywhere on the slide by dragging, or by cutting and pasting. The objects panel is always available to the right of each slide. The presentations tool checks spelling as you type. Misspelled words are flagged with dotted red underlining in the document.
1 In the panel on the right of the slide, click an object once to insert a text box, image, or shape. Or, drag the object

directly onto the slide.
