David Masters has written a wonderful book for all you lawyers out there who are trying to figure out how to make better use of Adobe Acrobat in your law practice. The Lawyer's Guide to Using Adobe Acrobat available from the ABA for $59.00 ($10.00 off if you a member of the ABA Law Practice Mgt Section).
The book provides hands-on examples of how the software provides unique solutions for law firms, along with useful tips and shortcuts. It has step-by-step explanations of the various techniques needed for opening and publishing all types of documents using Adobe Acrobat, including advice on:
• Creating PDF Files using five separate techniques
• Creating and using navigation aids, including bookmarks and links
• Using comments, text boxes, notes and stamps
• Creating and managing digital signatures
• Extracting content, searching and indexing PDF documents
• Managing basic and advanced (certificate) document security
• Planning, creating, and organizing E-briefs
• Adding and using plug-ins
• Using Acrobat in the paperless office
So, what are you waiting for? Check it out and see if it doesn't make your digital life a little easier.
What's the preferred software for "Bates Stamping" documents? I have Adobe Acrobat Professional & Paperport 10 and regularly scan all docs for litigation. I want to be able to number every page as we enter it into the system. Seems to be competing software. Is there an add-on to Acrobat that'll work well?
