I'm going to add some pictures into this
now notice how this one has the
watermark in the back so I'll show you
how we can do that uh notice how this
picture appear appears to be in front of
the other picture I'll show you how to
do that and so on so uh let's go into
those kind of topics first so I'm going
to add a picture so of course we have
many tools so I'll pick on the tools
menu and then from here we'll pick on
edit and then you can see how you have a
lot of good tools there so I'll pick on
add an image and an image could be uh a
picture from your computer or it could
be a picture from online so let's go
into let's go into my pictures folder
and let's say I want to get okay so
we'll use the the gas pump
again all right so I'm going to move
this picture over
here all right now I'm going to um get
the plane now so I'll say add another
image and we'll get the
plane all right so of course I would
recite
that using the sizing
handles now if I move my Mount uh the
plane onto the gas tank notice how it
looks like the plane is on top of the
gas tank okay so then there's many
things that we can do to manage that
picture notice over here on the right
hand side we have the objects so we have
the object uh section so in this case if
we start to click around
uh on this one I'm going to send it to
the back and watch what'll happen now
the gas tank is in front of the plane
you see what's happening so you can
layer your objects like that and start
to make more uh more Dynamic
presentations uh layering your pictures
so I'm going to bring that to the front
again I still have the plane selected
I'm going to click on that same icon
over here and I'll say bring to the
front and now the plane is in front of
the gas tank uh now when we take a look
at that
menu bring to the front brings it all
the way to the front it makes it the the
foremost object on the uh on the page
send the back makes it the item that's
in the back uh as far as back of
everything else if you have three
pictures or more then these two over
here can make a difference bring forward
will make it one level up so if it was
the third level that'll bring it to the
second level and send backward we'll
send it one one one level back so it was
on the first level it would bring back
to the second level so this brings it
all the way to the front this brings it
all the way to the back this brings it
one level up like if you had three
pictures it would bring that one level
up and this will bring it one level back
all right so those could be very helpful
for you then uh we can also rotate that
plane so let's take a look at the rotate
Tools in this case if I click on the the
flip see how the plane is pointing
towards the right now it's actually
upside down right so that's going to be
flip and then this one will flip the
other way now it's pointing to the left
and pointing to the right uh now I like
to get rid of some of that sky on that
plane so that's called a crop I'm going
to go ahead and click on the crop tool
you have to pick on the picture first
otherwise these don't light up uh I'll
pick on the crop tool now I get the
black edges and I'm just going to take
some of the sky off the plane as you can
see
so when we have a picture or an image on
the document then you can click on that
picture and then pick on the the objects
tab over here as you can see to start to
do some great things now uh another
thing that I'd like to do is maybe I
like to have a hyper link so let's add
some text
here and I'll just go ahead and add a
simple text box and I'll say click here
to go to the
website or it could even be an email
address so I have another text and I'll
say um click
here to email
support so watch what I'll do now at
this
point I'm just going to go back to the
selection uh tool and we're going to go
ahead and pick on that
text when I highlight the text now in
this case I want to add a hyperlink onto
that so we pick on the word link
here and I'm going to add uh a a web
link or a document link so when I click
on that it can go to a web page or it
can go to a um a document on your
computer so we're going to highlight
that
text good so in this
case obviously you can uh change the
style of the
link but whatever really wanted to show
you here would be uh a website now you
can type in a website or sometimes the
history will come up so I'll click on
aoral training and I'll click on okay so
now that's an act uh that's a live link
so when you move your mouse there then
it will be a live link so
noce let's get the selection tool
again notice I just clicked on that and
it brought me to the Aurora website so
we made the document very interactive as
you can see let's go back to Adobe again
now um in this way I want to make that
an email so we're going to add another
link we'll pick on link again and then
you can see uh it could be a website or
a document let's see if we can get an
email to work so I'll click there I'm
going to highlight the
text so in this case it could be a page
view a file uh I'm going to go ahead and
try to do an email address in
there now see what it just did now uh
because I picked on custom I picked on
actions and then there's many things you
can do from there we can exit execute a
menu item that would be one of the menus
uh from Adobe go to a 3D multimedia view
which I'll show you shortly go to a page
view so this makes the link do a lot of
different things as you can see so it's
a little bit different than a
hyperlink so let's go back to this again
uh so I'm going to go ahead and click on
cancel I'm going to pick on
link going to highlight that text
again so we'll try um open a web page
and I'll pick on next so in this case it
would be either a web page or a file all
right so we have a great way to add a
hyperlink into our document now let me
go to a different document I going to go
back and forth between different
documents
today all right so let's take take a
look at this one I'm actually going to
save this as a different name so that I
want to use that for a different purpose
in a little while so I'll pick on choose
a different folder and I'll just call
that uh version
two I want to use this one for different
purposes pretty soon watch how we can
add a hyp a watermark onto the back of
this document so we're going to pick on
the tools menu and I'll pick on edit
again now notice how we do have the
watermark there and we're going to add a
new
Watermark so the watermark could be text
so let's say I want that to to say a
sample all right notice how the word
sample is there now I want that to be an
angle so say a 45 degree angle good and
now I want that to be not as dark as
that so look what we'll do we'll change
the uh opacity
good that looks great and I'll click in
okay noce now the word sample is there
as the watermark right now of course it
can also be a picture so I'm going to
delete that
one watch again we'll pick on Watermark
I'll pick on ADD I'm going to go ahead
and replace the existing one which is
fine if you want to add a picture you
pick on file and then we'll pick on
browse so again I'll go back to
the uh picture
folder good and we'll use uh the company
logo so uh let's say we'll use the plane
again all right so I'll cck on
open and then notice how obviously I
want that to be more uh opaque so I'm
going to bring this back that's better
that's too light that's better and then
of course we can adjust the size of that
uh so I'm going to go ahead and click on
okay and now we added a watermark onto
the doc uh document all right so U now
another thing that we could do right
from this window is the header and the
footer of course the header will appear
on the top of every page and the footer
will appear on the bottom of every
page so then imagine the header is split
to the left Center and right and the
footer is on the uh left Center and the
bottom as well I mean the left Center
and the right of the bottom so I want
the page number on every page uh so
let's say I want that okay on the left
header text is
fine and then down here I'll say uh
let's say I want the date on the bottom
and then down here we'll say the company
name good and uh at this point I'll
click on
okay and now we can see that each page
is going to have uh the company name and
over here we have the date and the page
number so that was called the header and
fooo now I'm going to open up some new
tools here so we pick on the tools
menu let's see what the multimedia tools
are like so we're going to come down
here and we'll say rich
media now everybody to use the rich
media tools you have to the first time
that you do it it's going to ask you to
uh install flash flash is another Adobe
product uh so you have to install Flash
the first time it'll it'll let you know
that but what you would do is uh
basically go up
to this site adobe.com
products Flashplayer tohtml from there
it'll give you a place where you can
download that uh so I'll pick on Adobe
Flash Player you know and then um you'll
be able to downloaded
it and then uh now if you had to get
that by itself if you wanted to make
flash files you'd have to get the Flash
Builder and that would be an extra cost
but just to display the flash that'll be
a free download so let's go back to
acrobat now let's check out some of the
3D tools first I'm going to add a sound
so this would be most of your sound
files will work here all right so I'm
going to go ahead and add a sound and
then you highlight a part of the
document where you want that to appear
so I'm going to highlight this part of
the
document uh then you select a file so
we'll pick on
browse and uh we're going to go ahead
and you you pick a sound file there's
how it's MP3
format so we'll go back to um the
desktop folder and uh I'm a huge Tom
Petty fan so I have some Tom Petty music
here so we'll pick on uh the is always a
go
in now it's importing that file
everybody it'll take a second now if you
didn't have flash this would not work so
it would tell you it will give you a
link up here where you would be able to
download the flash once you download the
flash it will play so I'm going to go
ahead and click
there okay so now look what happens The
Flash is on but it says it's been
disabled for this one file so I'm going
to come over here and I'll pick on
options and I'll say trust this this one
time or you can also say trust the
document
always okay so now when I click on the
play it should start to
go uh
so that's what you would do you would
have to make sure that the flash is
installed and then that will start to
play all right so I'm going to go ahead
and uh let's go back to the normal
document
now so let's turn on those 3D tools
again so I picked on tools and then rich
media okay good so let's add some more
of these now this one is a file that
would have been made by the actual Flash
Builder program so let's try one of
those again you click on that and you're
going to high light a part of the
document and then we're going to browse
for that file so this one will be under
the downloads folder and I'll use this
one that's called wheel so with this
Flash Builder you can make your own
movies and your own animations and
things like that so I'm not going to
show you how to make those files that
would be a different session but a do be
agregate that can play those so I'll
pick on open
there all right so I'm going to click on
okay give it a
second good now this one would also be
where uh the flash would have to be
enabled so I'm going to click there and
you can see how that wheel is moving so
that would have been made with um the
the Flash Builder no problem with
that any of the uh as you see any of the
S swf files would work
there that's fine you can move these of
course and you can resize those as you
need to I'm going to disable that
one so uh another thing we can add onto
our document is videos so let's go ahead
and add a
video and then again you're going to
highlight the part of the document where
you want that to appear and it could be
anywhere and we'll browse for that one
in this case I believe I have it in my
uh desktop folder there it is I have the
one that's called Globe so I'll pick on
open and again that one would also
require Flash to be installed once you
install Flash it'll be there uh from
that point forward now in this case I'm
going to play the
video and then actually I'd like to see
that as a full screen so I'm going to
right click on that and I'll say full
screen and then we see the actual video
of the globe all right so that was
now that one needs an mp4 file an MP4
format is what's going to work there so
let's go back to those tools
again the sound is MP3
files this one is going to be the swf uh
file extension that I made with the
Flash Builder and this one is a video
that's an mp4 file I'll do a 3D in just
a
second now if you notice everybody this
one that's called add
3D now um that would be a special kind
of file as well so it would work the
same way pick on ADD 3D and I'm going to
go ahead and highlight that
section and now it's looking for files
of of these kind of extensions okay now
in setting up the uh the class I
couldn't find a file with those
extensions however I found an example
that has a 3D file so so let's go ahead
and open up a different Adobe Acrobat
file here so I click on file and then
I'm going to go to this
one that actually does have the 3D uh
object on there
so uh once we have that this will also
have to be used with flash I'm going to
click on that now watch what we can do
with this three 3D object now even here
it says 3D content has been disabled I'm
going to pick on options and I'll pick
on trust it for this one time only or
trust it
always okay good so now it's enabled so
watch what I can do with this give it a
second so I can rotate that in many ways
it's really a 3D object I can turn it
that
way I can flip it the other way so
really we get a very detailed view of
that because it's a 3D object so again I
couldn't really find uh any
files I was trying to find some files to
demonstrate that here in the webinar but
I um I didn't find the exact graphic but
I found a PDF that had one of these 3D
models on there and it works perfectly
right now if I right click on that then
there's a lot of things we can do with
that 3D object so if we go into uh the
tools you'll see a lot of great things
here now I'm going to go head and talk
about the measurement tools pretty soon
but the 3D object has the measurement
tools so let's go ahead and flip Des
engion a little
bit
good okay well that's fine uh so no no
polling questions to the everybody
actually somebody does have another
question okay that was from you okay up
all right so we're good with that I just
wanted to make sure it wasn't somebody
else's question uh so let's take a look
at that so now I'm looking at this I'm
looking at this turbine engine and I
going to go ahead and right click on it
and I'll pick on the
tools and then notice that we have the
3D measurement tool I'm going to talk
about the normal measurement tool in
just a second but I wanted to show you
the 3D measurement tool so it says hold
down the alt to rotate hold down shift
shift to pan
so and then hold down the control key
okay
so in this case this what I'm going to
try to do I'm going to try to to measure
this right so we can as it said I'm
holding on the control key to rotate it
but if I start here let's say I want to
start here and I want to see how
long this uh this diagram is all right
and then we could see it's in
millimeters right
now right uh so now I want to be able
to measure from top to the bottom all
right like how much is this right over
here so I'm just going to drag it
down so it helps me really get the exact
measurements now uh notice that line
isn't really perfectly straight it's a
little bit off so here's what you do
even with the normal measuring tool
before you drag it you're going to hold
down your shift key if I hold down my
shift key well that that actually uh
drag the object but in this case I'm
just going to make sure that my mouse is
nice and straight and you can see the
measurements that are coming up all
right
so uh this is the 3D measuring tool the
way I got to that was I right clicked on
the 3D object uh and then before we
picked on tools and we said the 3D
measurement tools but notice with that
3D object there's many things that we
can do actually I would like to put it
back in
inches all right so now let's see if the
measuring tool is going to be in inches
this
time and you can see that that it is an
inches all right so um anyway when I
right click in that 3D object there's
just many many things that we can do
with that as you can see
but I really uh am very impressed with
how you can actually manage that 3D
object in this case I'm going to turn
off the measuring tool I'm just going to
hit the Escape K and now we're back to
being able to rotate that in different
ways all right so now I'm going to close
this
document and we're going to go ahead and
I'm not going to save that one so I can
use it in a future
session but now let me show you the
normal measuring tools so in this case I
showed you uh well we'll come back to
adding a button later on that really
works very well when we do a um a form
but I can add a button here so let's say
I want to be able to easily print this
this form or this document so I'm going
to add a button I'll put it right up
here uh so I'll say uh print as the text
and then we're going to say all
properties
and then uh you can kind of tell the
appearance and the position the
options of how it's going to look but
really what I want to go to is the
actions so when I when I click on that
button what is it going to
do you make it do a lot of different
things you can make it uh go to a 3D
view page view import data uh so we can
do um multimedia like a Sher opening a
file opening a web link play a sound
submit a form okay read an article so
there's many things we can do with those
buttons so let's say uh I I thought the
print was going to be on there but we'll
go ahead and uh what if
we what if we open a
file right so I'll change
the uh text to say
open an Excel
file so for the actions I'll say open a
file and I'll click on ADD and now wants
to know which file I want to get to so
open up the this uh address
file good now I can make that button do
more things we can keep on adding more
actions as many as you want it to I'll
pick on
close now that button says open an Excel
file of course I can resize it but I'm
going to click there and that really
should
uh open up that Excel
file let's see if it works if I click
that well uh here it's saying that the
file might have a virus but it it's not
I know what that file is so I'm going to
pick on open I can I can choose to not
display that message
again and now it's going to go into that
file and there there it is there's the
addresses all right so that was a pretty
good way uh we we made it more
interactive with that button those were
all under
the the the rich media uh
tools I showed you what the 3D is like
we added a button added a sound this is
a flash file made with the Flash Builder
and this is a video it would be like an
mp4 all right all of those do require
the flash uh to be at least in installed
here all right but that it comes free
the viewer comes free with Adobe Acrobat
all right now the next thing I want to
show you is the normal measurement tool
so I'm going to close this
file and this one I can
save now let's go back to this file and
uh let's say I want to measure like
exactly how long that box is this will
help you when you are setting up your
objects and you want to make sure things
are the same size all right so we're
going to go into the measurement tools
pick on the tools
menu and then we'll pick on
measure good now notice how we have the
measuring tool up
there all right so in this case if I
just go from one corner to the
next now this is the one that's going to
help when we hold on the shift key or
it'll keep it nice and stra
straight good and then if I move my
mouse uh if I move my mouse there it
says 3.15 in watch how I'm going to keep
it straight this time I'm going to undo
that okay so now I'm going to move my
mouse here I still have the measuring
tool I'm going to hold down the shift
key and then when I'm dragging it across
notice how it's staying nice and
straight all right so that was a lot
smoother
and you can see when I move my mouse
there it says 3.5 3.14 in so this is
just the normal type of measurement from
here okay now I want to get the
perimeter like how how many inches is it
around that object so in this case I'm
going to uh click on the pointer tool so
we could turn that one
off I'm going to go back to the
measuring
tool now I want to see how long how uh
how long it is around that object that's
called the perimeter so I'm going to
click on this this tool over here and it
says the perimeter
tool all right so good I'm going to hold
down my shift key again I'm going to
start here I'm going to drag it
across and then I'm I'm going to lift my
finger from the mouse button that that
that tells it that that's one point and
then you drag it down
again good I'm lift my finger drag it
over good drag it over I'm actually uh
clicking there and then drag it
up so then it gives me the um space
around that object which is 7.59 in that
was the the perimeter all right so um
this tool is just for measuring like
from one one uh section to another this
is the perimeter how how how much space
is around that
object uh this one on the other hand
let's undo
that this one on the other hand is what
we call the area so how much space is
within that so watch the area I'm going
to click on that
one again we'll start at the corner and
I'm going to hold down my shift key so I
can keep it as a straight line good I
I'm lifting my mouse button and um then
I'm going to click there drag it
down
good get that drag it
across good get it and drag it
up now you want those edges to connect
like
that and now you see it's four .1 Square
in all the way around so this one is
just for measuring from here to
there this one is the perimeter you know
how much space is around that object and
then this is the area how much space is
within that object all right so those
are the measuring
tools uh so that's a pretty good right
there let's keep on going now now
somebody even asked about this next
topic we're going to make a
form uh so a form is where we can start
to uh collect data all right so um let's
go ahead and start to use our for Form
Tools so in this case we uh go to a
different document
all right so I'm going to go ahead and
add a new
page of course over here we see uh our
different pages for the document so I'll
go to the next page okay that'll be good
you can see how the watermark is even on
this page as well so that'll be fine now
I'm going to go ahead and close this
window all right now um we can uh we can
get rid of this item so I'll pick on the
tools menu and then pick on
edit so you can see that's all text
there of course right so I can uh Delete
all of
that it's just in my way right now all
right so let's go to the Form Tools I'm
going to go ahead and pick on the tools
menu and then we scroll down and we
choose prepare a
form so remember what we're trying to do
is trying to make a a a screen where it
would be like um you know where they can
type in their name and address and
things like that or it could be any type
of information in this case I'll even
make a new page that's fine or a new
document yeah this way we'll start from
scratch okay
so now this guy over here will just be
text and they won't be able to type
where the text is so I'll click on the
text tool and I'll type in uh
name but I want a space where they can
actually type in the name and that'll be
this one so that that's called a text
field so I'm going to click there and
then move it down to
here so in this case the field name will
be the
name I can make that a required field
which means that they would have to type
something there or uh I'll pick on all
properties and there's many many things
you can do with
this we can change the appearance the
font and the font size and these kind of
things okay uh so we could even make
that an action where you know when they
once they do something with that uh
something will happen there lot of
things we can make it a calculated field
so anyway we have the name there so
let's add an address I'm going to go
ahead and pick on just a plain text
and I'll type in
address and then I'll pick on this one
and I'll pick on
um you see I'm how I'm I'm trying to
align that with those tools
good and that'll be the
address now for that one obviously I
want to make that bigger so going to
stretch it out and then move it down to
here now if I want to make sure that
those items are lined up watch what I'll
do uh I'm going to pick in the word name
there and I'll pick in the word address
and then you get the alignment tools
over here so I would
say uh align you know we could say left
align those kind of things
right uh so it's nice to be able to
align those items
up uh even here I want to make sure that
this one is lined up with this one
uh so we can use the alignment tools
with that one as well all right so
looking good now let's add um let's add
a checkbox here so I'm going to go ahead
and pick on the selection tool I'll pick
on the um pick on the
text and I'll
say did
you enjoy the Super Bowl
now for that one I want to have like a
checkbox all right so you notice how
there's different types of objects we
can add to our forms so I'll pick on
this
one and people would kind of know that
um people would know that if it's
checked it's a yes and then if it's not
checked it's a
no so we're making this form right now
uh I want to have a button so so that if
we click on the button uh different
things can happen so I'm going to go
ahead and click on U this button
here and you could have as many of these
buttons as you
want so I'll say um say I wanted to say
reset and in this case I'll pick on all
properties now this time I'm going to
give it an action so when we press that
button then I want to reset the form in
in other words that's going to submit
the data
actually we uh yeah we we'll do this
when that reset that'll clear
it okay
good and um that'll be
fine and then I want to have another
button that will submit the data so I'll
pick on this button and I'll come over
here you can see how it's Let Me Line
those things up and then I'll say this
will be
submit I'll pick on all
properties and this time we'll make it
submit the form which is going to submit
the data now it submits it kind of on uh
a backend file I'll show you how you can
get that to like an Excel file or
something like that it was somebody's
question uh before the uh webinar so
I'll pick on close so you can see when
we open up the prepare Form Tools this
one is going to be a piece of text like
name address in this question this one
is where they can type in the
information all right then in this case
we have a
checkbox this is called a radio button
you've seen those that's where you can
only pick uh one out of if you have like
five choices you can only pick one at a
time this one is a list where you can
pick one from the list this is a pull
down this is the button that we just did
over here here's are
pictures this is a uh a date field you
know so let's say um
so uh what
is today's
date so then we'll use the date
field good and then uh we'll call that
date and then we'll pick on properties
there
so in this case you can put calculations
into here you can validate the fields uh
I want it in this format
Now the default value could be like
today's date for example
so now I'm just going to make it show up
as today's date like gu the actual date
but you can make that show up as
dynamically as the current date with a
formula so I'll do um
2020 good it's
fine and there's different things we can
change about that of course okay good so
let's see how this whole thing is going
to play out I'm going to pick on
preview so I'll type in um my
name now if I wanted to reset it I'm
going to change that button so we'll be
able to see that text but if I pick on
the reset notice how it really kind of
clears things
out helps if I spell my name
right okay so I'll type in my
address did I enjoy the super bow yes
and then today's date of course I can
change that to something else that is
how because it's a date the calendar
came up all right now this one I
remember I made that into a submit so
I'm going to click that and that
submitted the data then I probably want
to do a reset um now that should be
resetting that form but then I'll type
in somebody else's name
and then we'll submit that one all right
so we could start to make a pretty nice
form here now I'm going to go back to
pick on
edit now watch what's going to happen if
I um share that with another person so
what you would do on any PDF file I can
pick in the word
share so I'm going to say I'm going to
send it to um now I have this register
with my email address so it really wants
a different email address I'm going to
use my my other one that I can get to
from
Outlook and then from here of course I
would pick on uh send so you you would
type in the email as you need to the
subject and all that so that really sent
that good now I'm going to go into my
Outlook and we'll see if that email came
over and then we'll see what the other
person will see when you send them that
email good here it is so now I have a
link to that document I'm going to go
ahead and click on
open and this person will just be able
to uh enter the information in so what I
would probably do is uh probably
download that
so I put that in my download folder
let's see what that looks
like so this is what the person would
see on the other
end they will be able to um type in the
information on the uh the different
fields but they can't change see I can't
click where it says name and change it
there uh when when you know it's the
other person so I'll type in the
information and then you know of course
we will change that so they can read the
text but I'll pick on submit there so
all this data is being gathered and let
me show you how you can then get that
data into uh Excel or another format so
I'm going to go ahead and close that
window this is the one that I sent to
myself this is a the what the other
person would say okay now I'm back to
the one that I actually made so
so let me get the um let me get the form
tools back up again I'll pick up tools
and then prepare form good now what
you're looking
for you're looking for this word
distribute that means you can take that
information and send it to uh uh a
different format so look where my mouse
is going to go right over here I'll pick
on
distribute okay before Distributing this
form the changes you made has to be
saved so of course I'll save that
and now we're going to save that one to
a form 1.pdf
now I can send it as an email or an
internal server so let's see if we can
try it to an uh an internal
server I'm going to say no I want to
send it with the
data and then in this case
see if it lets me send it to the
desktop so actually let's try to send
that as an email so I'll pick on uh that
let me go back to those tools again
prepare a form so I'll pick on
distribute
again and this time we'll send it as an
email okay that's
[Music]
fine and this this is where the data is
going to be stored okay into that PDF
file or in this point we could send it
as an email so I'll send it to the email
address
again this way we'll be able to see what
it looks like uh within my
Outlook right so we're going to send
that
okay so now let's take a look at if the
email got
sent uh so I'm going to go ahead and see
if that that email got sent to
Outlook might take a second for that to
come over but anyway I just showed you
how to make a nice form and then how we
can collect the data with that uh with
that distribute so is this the one this
is the one okay good so now if I pick on
that we can start to
see we can start to see that
file and there's the data all right so
I'm going to go back to Adobe
now so all of that happened because I
went into the prepare Form
Tools even here you know I can go to a
new
document but just remember these tools
this one is where I would have just a
title of the
field then this is the actual field
itself where they can type in this is a
checkbox this is a what we call uh an
option button or a radio button where
they have a list of choices and they can
only pick one at a time this is a list
where they can pick from a list this is
a um a pull down or a drop down list
this is one of those buttons like we
talked about and then this would be a
picture I shows you the date we could
even make them add a signature into
there this is a
barcode okay so uh there we have using
the
forms now one of the big things about
Adobe Acrobat is they're very aware that
um you know many other people with maybe
disabilities have to read these
documents
so we can make the documents handicap uh
accessible by showing you the
following so I'm going to go into is
this the one I want to use no let's go
into this one all right so see if I have
a cleaner copy of
that this one okay good so I want to
make it so that first of all we can make
it accessible for people who uh might
be uh
colorblind we can actually change the
colors so that it's accessible for
people that are color blind we can also
make it so that this document is is uh
it can be read out loud uh to people as
well so let me show you some of the
accessible tools I'm going to go ahead
and pick on the tools menu and we'll
scroll down and we'll choose EX
accessibility so that's going to open up
the accessibility window over here and
then you have this section right over
here
so we have to tag the document if we
want it to be read out loud so I'm going
to go ahead and say auto tag
document uh so I must have done this in
the previous session so I'm going to say
yes I going to tag that
so if you want this to be read out loud
you have to tag it like
that then uh I would also say something
that's going to really help you is the
uh setup
assistant this kind of does the
important steps for you so we'll pick on
uh setup
assistant and I'll use set all
accessibility
options right so then we'll say uh now
this one would be for people that might
be uh colorblind or having trouble with
different contrast so we're really going
to turn the contrast on
here and we'll see some different
examples there now this is the one that
looks the best to me but you can try
some of these different ones all right
so I'll uh pick on
next now in this case this is talking
about when it reads it out loud so I
want to say it's going to take it from
uh top left to the bottom right which is
fine or you can choose your
own and then um the the reading speed is
what it's talking about here so we'll
pick on
next and then that's fine so I'll pick
on
done okay so notice how so for so for
people that are colored by they might be
able to read that better now because of
what we just did all right so maybe I
would have one copy of the document that
is not included with this and then
another copy that is
now uh another thing that we can do here
is we can make it so they can um
easily have this read to them so I'm
going to highlight some text and then
we'll pick on The View menu
and then it says read out loud and I'm
going to say activate read out loud but
before that even showed up we had to go
into the setup
assistant this one I think requires
flash as
well
so now when I clicked on that I did hear
that voice ask me you know what page
view should I use so we're going to
highlight some text
now that is happening like I can hear it
in my headphones I don't know if that's
coming over the web webinar or not when
I click on that text
now the guy is really reading that for
me okay so I would set all this up for
the other
person then I would send it to him you
know with that share let's even do that
so pick on
share again I'm going to add my Outlook
email
address
good and I'll
say if you click
on
text it
should read it to
you
please call for any question
questions all right so I'll pick on send
that's going to send it through the
email let's see what it looks like from
the other person's
standpoint now I'm going to close this
file all right so I'll say yes to save
that now I'll close this
one all right so let's go back to my
Outlook and that email sounds like it
came in actually that reminds is coming
up all right so we'll get rid of that
and all so here's the
document make sure that's the right
one right so now let's go ahead and try
to view
that uh so we have to it shows us to
that in in the online version of Adobe
so I really want to download that so I'm
going to download it
then we'll open that one
up and uh so yeah I want to open it up
in Adobe Acrobat so let me show that in
the
folder and I'm going to open it up with
Adobe
Acrobat all right so now it's back now
if I click on the
text then I'll say View and then read
out loud and then you can start to see
it's going to read the text for me all
right so the way I got all that started
was you go to a normal
document let's go to a different
one uh so let's even um let's go to a
different uh document here
okay so a lot of these have already done
with this uh feature so let's turn on
the the accessibility tools so pick on
tools
accessibility so the the the best thing
to do is to set up assistant and then it
sets it up for different things and then
you just keep on picking on next
here
so this will make it easier for people
to see and then you can show them that
they can also zoom in so people have um
issues with the print being too small so
you show them the zoom tool and you can
see it makes it a lot better so that's
built right in and then also show them
how they can uh read it out loud by
picking on view and then read out loud
and then you know you would pick on the
text and it would start to read that for
you so those are the accessibility tools
uh in this case I'm going to put that
document away like I say you probably
would have one copy of the document that
has the accessible tools on there and
then one that maybe does not for people
that don't need
that good so you can see some of the
documents that we made today now let's
talk about adding a signature onto one
of our
files so I want to request a signature
from somebody else so this one will be
fine
so you can see uh before the class I was
trying to get these accessible tools
working with some of these documents so
this one uh I bet this one's fine good
all right so I want to go ahead and I
want to maybe ask a person to uh sign
this document so what we'll do is we'll
turn on the tools and then I'll say uh
fill and
sign so do I want me to sign it or am I
looking for other people to sign it
usually you you request others to sign
it so I'll pick on request
signatures good so then this is actually
going to send an email to those people
so once again I'll use uh my different
email
addresses so we'll use this one where
it's going to go to my Outlook and you
can do multiple people people there so
um I'll say please
sign
so then you're going to specify where on
the document to sign so we're going to
click
there then you pick a spot on the
document give it a second here this is a
little bit long longer
one if this is a shorter document it
wouldn't take as long
but then this document will be sent out
and then the person won't be able to
change anything but they'll be able to
sign it so let's say we want that to be
uh maybe right over
here okay so at that point I'm going to
go ahead and send
it so let's see what that looks like
when the other person gets
it once again I'm going to go back to
Outlook so I can get that
email and there it is it says signature
request
it we're going to click on review and
sign and then it says please review and
complete this document please sign and
then if I pick on like it'll kind of go
to where the signature is it'll bring
them right to that spot
now they can just uh right click on that
and like a lot of times they can just
add their name in there and that'll be a
a a good uh signature or if you pick on
manage then there's different signatures
you can add into there as well within
your Adobe
settings so you saw let's go back to
Adobe
now you saw how was in this document I
turn on the the signature tools
usually it's about you know other people
signing it you're sending this document
for other people so I say request
signatures you type in their email
addresses and a main message and then it
said you know pick that spot where you
want them to sign and then you send them
off okay uh so that's what I want to
show you about the
signatures e
