Mac OS X provides PDF creation capabilities. If I’m running Mac OS X, do I still need Acrobat 6.0

software?

Adobe recognizes there are many different ways to create PDF files, and customers should create a PDF docu-

ment in the manner that best fits their particular needs and workflow. The Mac OS offers the ability to quickly

create a PDF document through the print dialog box. However, if customers are interested in creating Adobe

PDF documents for professional or pre-press workflows, Adobe recommends Acrobat 6.0 Professional for the

greatest control over how the file is created. Acrobat 6.0 Professional also contains powerful features that go

well beyond Adobe PDF creation. For example, valuable preflighting and advanced print features ensure

reliable print output. In addition, Acrobat 6.0 Professional is required for creating interactive forms, initiating

automated document reviews, adding security to Adobe PDF documents, and much more.

Do Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Acrobat 6.0 Standard run natively in Mac OS X?

Yes, Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Acrobat 6.0 Standard run natively in Mac OS X. Acrobat Distiller is now also

Mac OS X native.

in PDF/X compliance checking, reporting and output via its preflighting feature and PDF/X Distiller settings.

Options volume software licensing program. For more information on Adobe’s licensing program, visit:

http://www.adobe.com/store/general/openoptions/main.jhtml.

How do the Acrobat 6.0 product line and Adobe PDF support XML?

Through support for XML, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 makes it easy to capture and exchange form data with enter-

prise systems. With Acrobat forms, users can include business logic and routing based on user-defined XML

in the form data, offering the ability to integrate their document workflows with their core business systems.

Acrobat also supports eXtensible metadata platform (XMP) for embedding meaningful information to de-

scribe the content or characteristics of the file for advanced searching and integration with content manage-

ment systems. Additionally, users can also create tagged Adobe PDF files that preserve document structure to

enable both the easy re-use of content and the ability to make documents more accessible to users with dis-

abilities.

Why did Adobe decide to re-name Acrobat Reader to Adobe Reader?

Adobe Reader has been re-named to reflect its role as the Adobe viewing platform for everything from tradi-

tional business documents and forms to Photoshop® Album slide shows, eCards, eBooks, and embedded

multimedia.

Is Acrobat 6.0 software accessible to people with disabilities? Are Adobe PDF files created from

Acrobat 6.0 accessible to people with disabilities?

Both Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Acrobat 6.0 Standard let users create and optimize tagged Adobe PDF

files—documents that remain true to the original, but also retain crucial information about the underlying

structure of the files such as chapters, sections and body text. As a result, Adobe PDF documents can be made

accessible to people with disabilities, such as blindness or low vision, using standard Windows and Mac OS

text synthesis capabilities, and screen reader software. Adobe PDF documents can even be made accessible on

PDAs and data-enabled cell phones.

Acrobat 6.0 Professional helps creators of tagged Adobe PDF files improve quality and save time by signifi-

cantly optimizing documents with improved tools for checking and touching-up document accessibility,

creating and optimizing accessible Adobe PDF forms, and reviewing and modifying the reflow order of ob-

jects on a page.
