Why PDFs?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It's a file format pioneered by Adobe co-founder John Warnock in the early 1990s that solved the problem of documents displaying differently across various devices and operating systems. Have you ever tried to open PowerPoint slides in Google Slides, or Mac Numbers spreadsheets in Excel, only to find that the formatting you painstakingly applied had completely changed? PDFs solve that problem, ensuring that your documents retain their original formatting no matter what platform they're viewed on.
PDFs also provide security advantages that other document formats cannot. Because PDFs can be optionally secured to be both read-only and tamper evident, they are the preferred file format for legal documents. Adobe Acrobat DC extends these advantages through robust digital signing, certification, and document verification capabilities.
The Power of Acrobat
Have you ever come across a PDF file that you wanted to repurpose? Say you've been asked to update an existing contract, but the original Microsoft Word version is nowhere to be found. You might need to retype the entire contract in Word, update, and save to PDF again – but not with Adobe Acrobat
Acrobat Pro DC allows you to turn a PDF into an editable document, and change both text and images directly in the program. Custom font generators match text in the document, and elements can be manipulated and moved around by dragging them to the desired location.
What if you've found a Microsoft Word form template online or come across a paper form that you know would work perfectly for your organization with a few minor adjustments? With Adobe Acrobat DC, you can easily turn paper and Microsoft Word forms into fillable ones with the PDF form creator.
Acrobat Pro DC also integrates with Office 365. In Word, you can turn any ".doc" or ".docx" file into a PDF with a single click, using the Acrobat tool located directly in the ribbon. Conversely, you can turn any PDF into a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file with ease.
Licensing Options
Adobe Acrobat Pro for non-profit comes in two varieties:
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Non-Profit) is a perpetual version of the software that only requires a single purchase – no subscription necessary. As one of the few perpetual licenses Adobe still offers, Acrobat Pro DC offers fantastic value for non-profit organizations.
Adobe Acrobat Pro Document Cloud (Non-Profit) is a subscription license that, while it requires subscription, offers deep connectivity to both the Creative Cloud suite and to Microsoft Office 365. It also comes with iOS and Android applications so you can edit PDFs on the go.
