Acrobat X Pro is useful in saving important PDF's that you don't want anyone to touch or to corrupt your files. If you want to create files, especially web content, and don't want others to tamper your files, it is important that you locked your document from editing. This is especially important for me as I don't want to anyone to misuse my published work. I'm sure I'm not an expert in using Acrobat X Pro, as there is just so much to learn.

There are some unique features in Adobe Acrobat Pro that are not commonly known but are extremely valuable to teachers. The first unique feature is the ability to convert an Acrobat form that is generally downloaded from the Internet to a fill in and print form that can be saved after it has been completed. This is accomplished by selecting "Extend Features In Adobe Reader" under the "Advanced" on the menu bar. This will convert the form with fields to a saveable form. Another unique feature is the ability to directly create an Adobe Acrobat document from a signed document by using the scanned document to PDF feature. Once a document is signed it can be placed in an external scanner. Then by selecting "Create PDF" under the file menu with "From Scanner" selected the document can be automatically converted into an Acrobat document. Adobe Acrobat Pro does a good job of finding the attached scanner without any presets. As each page is scanned it prompts if you want to add another page. The final scanned to PDF document can now be sent via Email. Would recommend to colleagues but not necessarily for student use.

I love Acrobat X Pro! I use is chiefly to create savable and fillable PDF's that can be then be emailed to teachers and students. The obvious advantage is that the recipient and can type on the doc and save the work without altering the format of the over all doc. Think of trying to get students to type on/fill out a word doc you have created….OUCH! A bit pricy, but worth it is you use PDFs.

Note, I certainly do not use this tool to its full potential!
