In one day, go beyond basic PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Pro: archive to PDF/A, edit content, manage pages, protect and redact files, run OCR and build easy-to-navigate documents.
You already open, comment on and create PDFs, but you now need to archive them properly, protect sensitive information, make scanned documents searchable and turn long files into documents that are easy to navigate. This one-day course covers the features of Adobe Acrobat Pro that make the difference: the PDF/A archiving standard, content and page editing, password protection and redaction, optical character recognition (OCR), links, buttons and bookmarks.
Each topic is shown in a short demonstration, then practised on exercise files. The course uses the current Acrobat Pro interface (formerly called Acrobat Pro DC). In a private group, the exercises can be done on your own documents.

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of PDF designed for long-term archiving: fonts are embedded and features that could prevent reliable display in the future are excluded. The course explains the conformance levels (PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2 a, b and u, PDF/A-3) and how to choose the right one.
Covering text with a shape or changing its colour leaves it in the file, where it can still be found. Redaction permanently removes the text, images and hidden data. You will learn to use the redaction tools and to check that nothing confidential remains.
Adobe now simply calls it Acrobat Pro, and the interface has been redesigned. The course uses the current interface and tool names, and explains where familiar commands have moved.
The course focuses on protection, redaction, OCR and navigation, and presents certificate-based security. Requesting and applying signatures is covered in detail in Adobe Acrobat Pro Training: Document Creation and Digital Signature.

Good knowledge of the Windows environment. Some experience using Acrobat to open, comment on or create PDFs is helpful.
You leave with a practical method for archiving, securing and structuring your PDFs, the course materials and the exercise files. You can immediately produce a validated PDF/A file, a redacted and password-protected document, and a long PDF with bookmarks, links and navigation buttons.
