Click once to create PDF files in Microsoft Office

Acrobat X Pro provides one-button PDF conversion for Microsoft Office applications — including Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, and Visio — so you can create PDF files without ever leaving your authoring application. One-button PDF file creation is also supported in Autodesk® AutoCAD®. (Windows® only)

Create searchable PDF files from scanned paper documents

Thanks to the optical character recognition (OCR) features of Acrobat X Pro, you can save time and money by sharing electronic documents instead of stacks of paper files. When you scan paper documents or forms, you can have Acrobat automatically convert them to searchable, editable PDF files. You can also reuse the scanned content by converting PDF files to Microsoft Word, Excel, or other formats.

Convert HTML web pages to PDF files

With Acrobat X Pro, you can easily capture web page content that looks and acts like the original for improved reviewing, sharing, archiving, and printing. When using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox in Windows, a single click turns the web page you're viewing into a PDF file with formatting and links intact.

Create PDF files from any application that prints

Creating a PDF file in Acrobat X Pro is as simple as printing a document. Just select Adobe PDF as your printer in the print dialog box to create a PDF that captures the look and feel of your original document.

Archive email messages and folders as PDF files

With Acrobat X Pro, you can convert email messages and folders to PDF files with one-button ease in Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes in Windows. When you convert multiple emails or even one or more mail folders, Acrobat Pro creates an organized PDF Portfolio that contains individual PDF files of each stored email message and its attachments. Acrobat Pro also lets you set up automatic email archiving.
