Adobe Acrobat Classic FAQ

Acrobat integrates seamlessly with Office 365, Office 2021, and Office 2019 applications. 

From Windows environments, you can: 

• Create high-quality Adobe PDFs from the Acrobat task ribbon in Office apps (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook). 

• Add protection to PDFs created from the Acrobat ribbon in Office to restrict others from copying or editing sensitive content. 

• Use the Acrobat ribbon in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to execute many steps simultaneously. Email a PDF file, password-protect it, set file usage restrictions, or send a file for shared review. In Acrobat Classic, you can create a PDF and immediately run a preset Action to run predefined tasks, such as preparing a document for archiving or public distribution. 

• Use the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for Microsoft Outlook to send large or small files to others and set tracking options to get notified when people view your file (Acrobat subscription only).

• Import comments from a PDF file into the source Word document as markups that can be accepted or rejected with the Microsoft Word Track Changes tool. 

• Simplify email search and retrieval. Archive emails or email folders from Microsoft Outlook with one-button ease. 

• Create high-quality Adobe PDFs directly from Microsoft Project or Visio. 

Additional ways to work with Microsoft tools: 

• Use the Acrobat ribbon in Microsoft Word for Mac to create high-quality PDF files with interactive links. 

• Work in Acrobat Classic to turn existing PDFs into Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files with industry-leading formatting accuracy. Keep layouts, bulleted lists, and tables intact for easy editing in Office applications. 

• Work with Windows touch-enabled devices. 

• Use your finger or a hardware pen to draw and write more smoothly on PDFs on Windows devices, leveraging Microsoft's DirectInk technology. 

• Capture web pages as PDF files with a single click from Microsoft Edge. Convert all or part of the page, keeping links, layouts, and formatting intact.
