One of the great things about Adobe Acrobat is that you can access more than 25 PDF and e-signature tools using Acrobat on the web.
Hi everyone!
My name is Angelo Montilla from www.montilladesign.com.
I'm an Adobe Certified Designer, Trainer and YouTube Content Creator.
Let's dive into this tutorial and learn how to get started with Acrobat on the web.
Acrobat on the web can be accessed directly in a web browser by visiting www.acrobat.com.
Just sign in with your Adobe ID to get started.
If you're already signed in with www.adobe.com, you'll be taken directly to the Acrobat on the web Home screen.
On the Home screen, you can upload new documents or open recent files which will be displayed on the page.
You can see my recent files listed below.
The Home screen has a main menu bar at the top where you can access other documents.
You can also click on All tools to access more than 25 PDF and e-signature tools listed here.
I'll click back on Home to return to the Home screen, and now we can upload a document.
To upload a document, you can click the Select files button on the right side or simply drag and drop the PDF you'd like to open.
I have a PDF here, which I'm going to drag and drop into that area.
That'll take a few moments to upload, but once it does, it'll open right inside your web browser.
To adjust the magnification, make your way to the bottom right-hand corner and click this icon here, View one page at a time and let's click Fit one page.
This will adjust your viewing experience to fit the page on the screen.
To access the pages in this document, click on the Pages panel to open the Pages panel and view all three pages in this document.
You can also click on them for easy navigation.
You can also use the Next arrow button and Previous arrow button to make your way through a document.
With the document opened, you'll notice that the interface is similar to the experience you would have in Acrobat for desktop.
In the top left-hand corner of the screen, you'll see the Tools tab, which opens a separate window with all the tools available in Acrobat on the web.
Let's go ahead and click Edit text & images, to edit text in this document.
You'll notice that the text frames have dashed borders.
However, if I hover over one of them, it'll turn a solid blue.
To edit the text, just click inside and now we can edit the text in here.
Let's assume that this date has changed to February 7ᵗʰ instead of the 14ᵗʰ.
So, in other words, it's going to start a week earlier.
We can edit that text, and I can also select it and deselect the Bold option to make sure that it's the same style.
You're also able to edit the Font format, the Weight, the Size of the text and Color.
You have some other options in terms of Line spacing and Character spacing as well.
Once you're satisfied with your edits, just click away to exit the text frame.
To edit or replace an image, simply click on the image in the document that will launch the Contextual menu, where you can replace an image by choosing another one or editing an image powered by Adobe Express.
You can also increase the size of an image by dragging one of the handles outwards to increase its size.
You can see I've adjusted the width of that ever so slightly.
And if you wanted to undo the action, simply click the Undo icon, that's Command or Control Z on your keyboard to go back to the previous version.
You have some other options within the Edit menu.
If I scroll down, you can also Organize pages, Combine files, Crop pages, or even Number pages.
To exit the Edit menu, simply scroll to the top and click the Close button to return to the Document view.
To convert the PDF to another file format, click on the Convert tab in the main menu.
Here you can convert the PDF to other file formats including Word, Excel, and Image formats.
You can also upload a version to Adobe Express if you wanted to add other design elements.
The document periodically auto-saves as you're working.
So, once you're finished, you can click on the Acrobat icon to return to the Home page.
And from here, you can access your document in the Recent files and get quick access to Edit, Share, and Manage the PDF document.
That's a quick overview of how to get started with Acrobat on the web.
Upload a PDF and try out these techniques for yourself directly in a web browser.
Again, my name is Angelo Montilla, and I'll see you in the next video.
