Adobe Reader is a free program for viewing PDF. We bring to your attention a selection of tips on working with "reader".

What is PDF?

When one format does not get along with another, there is an incompatibility problem. Attempts at all sorts of universalization are constantly being made. Perhaps the most famous universal document distribution format - PDF. The PDF abbreviation is decrypted as "Portable Document Format", translated into Russian - tolerable document format. Developed by Adobe about 15 years ago, the format is considered a global standard in the area of \u200b\u200breplication and the exchange of reliably protected electronic documents. The official recognition of the PDF format was received only last year, and should be recognized, not widespread in all areas of work with documents. The most often PDF format declares itself in publishing and printing. In this format, most technical documentation, books and magazines, etc. usually apply. Often, all this has its own concrete price on a par with paper products and is sold in online stores.

Let's try to figure out what served as a reason for the dissemination and widespread use of documents in this format - not only in the publishing business, but also on the Internet. Adobe PDF files have a relatively small size, partly due to a clear distribution of data, which may be a huge cluster in one document. In addition, the format supports several types of compression of raster information, and storing images in PDF is ultimately more profitable than outside the document. Outcome - the format is optimal for shipment by e-mail and placement on Internet resources.

Adobe itself speaks of the following pluses of the format belonging to it:

Multiplatform - Today, the PDF format can be viewed without any problems with the tools of the operating system or using third-party programs. In addition, you can open PDF on Android. The list of supported platforms includes Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, Palm OS, Symbian, Pocket PC. When the file is opening, it is preserved formatting, regardless of the application used and regardless of the program in which the document was created. True, with a slight resolution, formatting is usually significantly distorted. The format is optimal for printing.

Wide use - According to Adobe, more than 1,800 suppliers in one form or another included PDF support in software. Well known example - all popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla Firefox) are capable of opening PDF-queues in their window.

Reliability - More than 250 million documents in PDF on the Internet, including state and business resources, are stored in this format. This fact is already talking about many. (These numbers, again, are named Adobe. Where such statistics are received - unknown).

Great degree of integration - PDF files contain source information, like that text, raster images (figures, graphs), multimedia objects, 3D, cards - and all this in the original format. Fonts are integrated into the document, therefore, even if they are missing in the operating system, they will be displayed correctly.

Safety - Certificate support and the ability to create a protective password for any PDF document. In addition, the format includes the mechanism of electronic signatures to protect and verify the authenticity of documents.

Possibility of search - Due to the fact that the text content of PDF focution is usually separated from the graphic, the search for the document is provided. By the way, the Google Search Engine) indexes and searches for text on request in PDF-protection.

Availability - Documents in PDF are available for reading disabled people. True, complex formatting makes it difficult to view, and therefore the "accessibility" criterion is very relative. Especially since much depends on the capabilities of the software used.

One thing, of course, believe in words, facts, other - see it from a user point of view, check how it works. We will not list the rest of the pros, which are a lot, and try to figure out how you can organize PDF view in popular and not very programs. Next, we will consider programs that will help you with this format.

Format XPS - New Universal Standard of Documents?

Microsoft was pleasantly surprised by Windows Vista users with an innovative XML PAPER SPECIFICATION. This is an open format available on a free license. Currently, the XPS is supported by the 2007 Microsoft Office System package and talk about the standardization of the format in the European Organization of ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association) on a par with PDF.

The XPS file contains the page content displayed on the screen. This ensures the correct output of the document to print - with the formatting. Xps supports various security standard and is based in XML. Another tangible plus format is that it can be opened as an archive in which everything sorted by folders: formatting and marking items, graphics (available vector graphics). XPS documents applied compression.

It sounds tempting, however, it is not entirely clear when the format developed by Microsoft will get widespread use, and whether it happens at all. While developers do not seek to include XPS into a list of supported documents, and users do not know anything at the format of a smooth account. You can use it with confidence only on Windows Vista computers, for the other Windows OS, you need to download and set an addition from www.microsoft.com.

As for the popular Mizrosoft Office 2007 package, the XPS view also requires the installation of a special addition. Details can be found here. By the way, the same applies to PDF, which Office does not initially support. Most likely, formats such as PDF, XPS and ODF will be included in Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2, the release of which is scheduled for the second half of 2009.

Why Adobe Reader without "Acrobat"?

It has been published to call the Adobe Reader Acrobat Reader program. But this tradition today will be broken, since now called Acrobat Reader meant the program for editing (!) PDF-foxes. In view of this, the distribution with the program takes several dozen times more than Reader.

Thus: Adobe Reader is a program for viewing PDF-Documents, Adobe Acrobat Reader - for editing.

Why Acrobat 9?

The program interface is improving - this is obvious. However, the version to Adobe Reader progresses so that changes are difficult to notice at first sight. In our opinion, first of all, you need to highlight the following features compared with previous versions:

• Increase start speed.
• Adobe Reader 9 MUI (multilingual interface). True, you need to download a version in your language, because it is impossible to change the language through the program interface.
• Improving security.

Where can I download?

It is available at the address. The size of the program is about 25 MB, which is not very much and a lot to jump. Additionally, the program includes the AIR complex (modern web application development technology). At the moment, version 9.1 is available for downloading from the site, but after starting the program, a proposal appears download the version of Ponee. This is not so important: the differences between these versions are not very significant. If you need a special version, it is easier to download it through the page. Here you can choose to jump a Russian-speaking version of the program. Previous versions of Reader also available (7-8), but there is practically no meaning to download them.

What other versions of Adobe Reader?

As already mentioned, the ordinary Adobe Reader program is completely free (otherwise today it would not be here). In the subject to free, there are still three versions of the package - Standard for $ 299, Pro - $ 449 and Pro Extended - $ 699. To write in detail about the differences between the versions there is no need. The higher the price, the closer the functionality of Reader is approaching its older brother Adobe Reader. If you are interested in the functional features of each version, go to the page. But it is unlikely that a staffatic user will need something more than just viewing PDF-queues.

Does reader start?

From version to the version system requirements for the program work, but not much. For Reader 9 they sound like this:

• Microsoft® Windows® XP Home, Professional or Tablet PC Edition with Service Pack 2 or 3 package (32- or 64-bit versions); Windows Server® 2003 (with Service Pack 2 package for 64-bit versions); Or Windows Vista® Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 package 1 (32- or 64-bit versions) or without it, and Microsoft® Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 4 package.
• Processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz and above
• RAM 128 MB (256 MB recommended)
• 335 MB of free hard disk space (Note: During installation, the program creates temporary files, so the required free space on the hard disk exceeds the specified value)
• Screen resolution 800? 600.
• Hardware acceleration video (optional)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, 6.0 with Service Pack 1, 7.0 or 8.0; Firefox 2.0 or 3.0

  However, the last item is not fulfilled at all. The browser will only need if you want to go to the developer site.

  For MacOS, Linux, as well as Solaris exist their versions of Adobe Reader. There are portable versions for Palm OS, Pocket PC and Symbian OS. Overall, readertotes on 23 (!) Platforms and 33 languages.

How to speed up the launch?

In the latest version of Reader, the speed of cold start has increased. However, Adobe Reader is a fairly resource-intensive application. On insufficiently productive machines, the program should be technically modified: both at startup and during the preview of the document. How to change the situation for the better?

The first option is to install another PDF viewer, which is very much. Foxit PDF, etc.

But if you do not want to change Reader, you can use the small Utility Adobe Reader Speedup. With it, it is easy to disable the adobe reader unnecessary modules that you do not use and disconnect which will not affect the negative side. True, productivity growth in the latest version of Reader is not very significant. Why? In previous versions, Adobe Reader had a lot of initially operating modules. In Reader 9, the developers "twisted" Reader and removed unnecessary modules from the launch.

An alternative way to get rid of modules is manual removal. Only in this case you need to be careful and be sure to make a backup of files. So, we find the folder with the Adobe Reader installed (default \\ Program Files \\ Adobe \\ Reader 9.0 \\ Reader \\) and open the plug_ins folder. Files with API extension can be transferred to any temporary folder. Now run reader. If the program works without complaints, the time folder is deleted.

How to make reading more comfortable for your eyes?

There are some simple tips on this score.

We should not forget about read mode in full-screen mode (see hot keys below). When you press Ctrl + H, the automatic scrolling of the document is activated, but, subjectively, with large volumes of text, the eyes are tired of such a "dynamic" reading.

Documents in PDF format are best looking for an original scale. Especially when it comes to single-layer files, undoubtedly, it is better to use a scale of 100%: in this case, the fonts are not distorted.

The main display options are concentrated in the section View section. Carefully inspect the Rendering section and configure optimal smoothing to view the documents. It is worth noting that the best smoothing quality provides option for portable devices / LCD monitors. Below there are other settings, but they no longer concern fonts. See improving thin lines and so on.

If you are viewing documents from a widescreen monitor with a large diagonal (19 and more inches), it makes sense to display two pages at once on one screen. To do this, the View team is intended - the view of the page is pairwise. We also do not forget about F8 and F9 function keys. They are designed to hide extra panels. When you press, you will simply return these panels.

Special attention deserves recomposing of the document.

What is PDF reconnemy?

The reconnection of the document is the display of it in the form of a single column of the width equal to the document panel. Sometimes you can simplify the document reading. This applies to those cases when the structure of the document is too complex for perception.

Recovery is performed for the basic text of the file. Forms, comments, fields of digital signatures, page numbers and footers it does not affect. Pages with shape fields or digital signature do not reassemble.

For recomposes, you need to select the View-Scale - Scale Command from the menu.

Why not be able to save changes to PDF-Document?

Even if you use one of the paid versions of Reader, when changing the file (add notes, comments, etc.), in many cases it will be prohibited in saving the changed copy of the document. Why? Thus, the owners (copyright holders) PDF -File protect their files from unauthorized copying.

Why does the text can not be isolated and copy?

Text in some PDF documents can not be copied to the clipboard. It's a shame, but it is impossible to fix it. The reasons for this are a set. Here is some of them.

First, the document you discovered could be simply scanned. In this case, each page is a solid image. Secondly, it may be deliberately - to prohibit text copying or to protect against indexing by search engines (see the question below).

However, even from such pages you can "pull out" the text. As a toolkit, you can use the text recognition program. The most famous - FineReader, which has some not very competitive analogues in the form of web services that recognize the text online. The likelihood of successful text recognition depends on how clearly the text is displayed in the document.

Does it make sense in publishing PDF on the Internet?

Very interesting and urgent question for site owners. Is it standing along with HTML documents to publish PDF -Files? Will this document be available in the search? In other words, whether his search engines index? There are many questions, and you can with confidence: yes. PDF-queues having a text layer will be correctly recognized and indexed by search engines. At least the most famous Western and Russian-speaking search engines do it perfectly.

On the other hand, if possible, it is better to save pages in HTML-format due to the fact that editing the text is more convenient in HTML.

How to remove bonjour.

Now let's talk about the unpleasant features of the entire ADOBE line. True, for Adobe Reader version 9, the problem is irrelevant, but in the 8th version it takes place.
It's all about the service with the beautiful name Bonjour, which is installed and works with the other by Adobe. The Internet says that "Bonjour allows computers and other network devices to automatically detect resources available on the network, computers, devices and services, without requiring specifying additional parameters - for example, IP addresses or DNS servers."

Automatic update works "in itself", without user permission. You should launch Adobe Reader 8, work in it - something immediately starts to download.

You can delete this service in the following way.

Open the command console (Win + R, enter CMD and press ENTER. Run two commands:

sC STOP "BONJOUR SERVICE"
SC DELETE "BONJOUR SERVICE"

So we stopped and deleted the service.

Then download the LSP -Fix program. After it starts, check the option I know what i`m doing checkbox ... (I know what I'm doing). Below is a list of various files. Highlight MDNSNSP.dll and move it to the right side. Click Finish and restart the computer. And finally, remove the Program Files \\ Bonjour \\ folder.

About:

PDF format allows you to implement the necessary fonts (line), vector and raster images, shapes and multimedia inserts. Supports RGB, CMYK, GRAYScale, Lab, Duotone, Bitmap, several types of compression of raster information. This format covers a large number of related documentation.

On the Internet you can find a lot of documents, various magazines and newspapers in PDF format. This format is very convenient for transferring documents on the Internet, since the PDF file will be equally read everywhere. Also, users can create a PDF file on their own computer, printing a file from any program in a virtual PDF printer. But sometimes it turns out that among the many sheets, in the PDF file, some of them will be rotated not as you need.

Leaf orientation in the PDF file is not the only problem that may occur. There will also be addressed to the following topics on this:

What program to open the PDF file

Now you may have a choice, search for a program for editing PDF files or re-print the file in the PDF printer correctly placing the sheet.

If the number of sheets in the file is small, then re-create a PDF file in principle is not a problem. But what to do when the sheets in the PDF file are not one dozen. On the Internet you can find many programs for editing PDF files, but not every program can turn the page in the PDF file. If you already have a program for editing PDF files, which can, at a minimum, replace the sheet, you can properly translate into the PDF the desired sheet and simply replace it in the PDF file. An example of such a sheet replacement was considered in the article editing PDF files by Foxit PDF Editor.

Now we will look at a similar program that will not allow you to change the text inside the PDF file or edit the pictures, but it can deploy a sheet in the PDF file and save the result. This PDF-XChange Viewer is called. You can download it from the site. www.pdfxviewer.com.

Consider the rotation of the sheet in the PDF file on a specific example. We have a PDF file consisting of two sheets, the first sheet of book orientation, the second landscape orientation. Let's try to turn the album sheet in the PDF file and make all the sheets of the book orientation. Opening our file, we will see the following:

To rotate the page in the PDF file you need to make only one action. Go to the menu "Document" And choose paragraph "Rotate pages ...".

In the window that appears "Rotate pages" You can make detailed settings. To begin with, point to the column "Direction" The direction of rotation of the sheet, clockwise, counterclockwise or at all 180 degrees. Indicate the range of pages to which this action will be applied. In our case, we will put the page number you want to deploy in the PDF file. You can also choose the use of rotation to all sheets, only to even or odd. You can also specify that the turn applies to sheets only with landscape or book orientation. After clicking on "OK", the action will be immediately applied, and the file can be saved.
