The application, which features cloud services and touch-friendly capabilities amongst its new features, will be available for purchase through Adobe Authorized Resellers, the Adobe Store, Adobe Direct Sales and Adobe Creative Cloud.

  • Complete PDF editing – with Acrobat XI you can use the new, intuitive Edit Text and Images tool to edit PDF files, modify paragraphs, images, and objects.
  • Seamless Microsoft Office and SharePoint Integration – save PDF files as PowerPoint, Word, or Excel files; reuse parts of a PDF file or an entire PDF file as MS Office documents; improved protection of PDF files created from PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
  • Touch-friendly capabilities – these new capabilities have been introduced so you can use Acrobat XI on tablets and smartphones.

“More and more information is being generated, shared and consumed in documents than ever before. Working with online forms, collaborative PDF reviews and signatures are the everyday norm for business professionals who were once simply content creators. IT departments need to support these changes while maintaining and maximizing the use of existing infrastructures and systems, as well as provide support and services that enable their organizations to take advantage of new business opportunities, improve results, justify return on investment, and lower the total cost of ownership,” said Kevin M. Lynch, SVP and GM of Acrobat and Document Services, Adobe.
