USING ACROBAT X PRO 55 Creating PDFs Using PDFMaker within an authoring application is a simple, one-click procedure. It involves clicking an Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar button or choosing a command on the Adobe PDF menu. It is not necessary to open Acrobat. Convert a file to PDF using PDFMaker In Windows, Acrobat installs both an Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar and an Adobe PDF menu in many popular authoring applications. You can use either the toolbar buttons or the Adobe PDF menu (the Action menu in Lotus Notes) to create PDFs, but the menu also provides access to conversion settings. Although many of the conversion options are common to all authoring applications, a few are application-specific. See the video Creating PDF Files from Microsoft Office for more information. For Microsoft Office 2007 and later applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access, the options for creating PDFs are available from the Acrobat ribbon. Note: If you don't see the PDF toolbar buttons in an application, you must show or activate the PDF toolbar. For other troubleshooting issues, see the TechNote http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333235.html.
