Adobe Acrobat 9
WHAT IS IT: All university workstations have Adobe Reader 9 installed, and many departments use Acrobat 9 Pro for creating and distributing online communications and forms.
LIVE WORKSHOPS (OPEN TO FACULTY & STAFF): Computing Environment Group (CEG) offers live, hands-on workshops, each with a specific focus:
1 - Converting MS Office 2007 Documents to PDF;
2 - Creating Multimedia Portfolios; and
3 - Understanding Acrobat Forms (not offered this fall).
You can preview the content of each workshop by reading, printing, or downloading workshop handouts (PDF files below).
To see the list of forthcoming workshops, check out events.uww.edu, and to register, go to signup.uww.edu.
NOTE: To find out how to create PDF files without Acrobat 9 (that is, directly in Microsoft Word for Windows and Mac, or Apple Pages), see short videos on our Online Syllabi page.
