![]() ![]() With Acrobat Pro 9 you could scan paper resources into PDF and convert into readable text, but you couldn't correct any scanning mistakes. New editable, correctable scanning and OCR The new Acrobat Pro X has lots of new and refined features, but there are two in particular which make it really useful for those of us who want to make digital learning resources. We'll review the new version in more detail soon - watch this space. (See our FAQs on how to do this.)Īnother good development is that you can add highlights and sticky notes to any PDF (not just ones which have been 'reader-enabled') which can be useful for pupils who are studying with PDF textbooks, or for staff who want to set and mark homework using PDF. You may have to re-install PDFaloud, or manually copy it from the old Reader 9 to the new Reader X folder. The goods news is that PDFaloud and other text-to-speech programs still work with Reader X. This makes it looks tidier and less confusing because there aren't loads of mysterious buttons littering your screen, but old pros like us get slightly irritated because it takes more clicks to find things. It is similar to version 9, except that most of the tools now appear to the right of the screen rather than as toolbars along the top. You can download the new Reader X free from Adobe's web site. We will examine the new versions and update our information and web sites in the near future, but for now here are a few important comments. Acrobat Pro is what we use for creating and editing PDF files. Adobe Reader is the free program that most people use for reading PDF files, such as the Hodder Gibson textbooks that we distribute for pupils who cannot read the paper versions, or the SQA digital exam papers. Adobe have just released new versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro. ![]()
