USING ACROBAT X PRO 44 Creating PDFs Convert screen captures to PDF (Mac OS) In Mac OS, you can create PDFs from screen captures. ❖ Do one of the following: • In Acrobat choose File > Create > PDF [From Screen Capture, From Window Capture, or From Selection Capture]. • Use the Grab utility (Applications > Utilities > Grab) to capture a screen image, and choose Edit > Copy to copy the image to the clipboard. Then start Acrobat and choose File > Create > PDF From Clipboard. Note: The PDF From Clipboard command appears when an image or text is copied to the clipboard. If the clipboard is empty, the command is not available. Create a PDF from a blank page You can create a PDF from a blank page rather than beginning with a file, a clipboard image, or scanning. This process can be useful for creating a one-page PDFs. For longer, more complex, or heavily formatted documents, it's better to create the source document in an application that offers more layout and formatting options, such as Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word. 1 In Adobe® Acrobat® X Pro, close any open documents. 2 Do one of the following: • (Windows) Choose Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Insert Blank Page. • (Mac OS) Press Command+Shift+Q. A blank single-page PDF is created. Using Insert Blank Page command again adds another page to the existing PDF. Create multiple PDFs from multiple files You can create multiple PDFs from multiple native files, including files of different supported formats, in one operation. This method is useful when you must convert a large number of files to PDF. Note: When you use this method, Acrobat applies the most recently used conversion settings without offering you access to those settings. If you want to adjust the conversion settings, do so before using this method. 1 Choose File > Create > Batch Create Multiple Files. 2 Choose Add Files > Add Files or Add Folders, and then select the files or folder. 3 Click OK. The Output options dialog box appears. 4 In the Output Options dialog box, specify your target folder and filename preferences, and then click OK. Correct OCR text in PDFs When you run OCR on a scanned output, Acrobat analyzes bitmaps of text and substitutes words and characters for those bitmap areas. If the ideal substitution is uncertain, Acrobat marks the word as suspect. Suspects appear in the PDF as the original bitmap of the word, but the text is included on an invisible layer behind the bitmap of the word. This method makes the word searchable even though it is displayed as a bitmap. You can accept these suspects as they are, or you can use the Edit Document Text tool to correct them.
