PDF Proficiency at Your Law Firm
A PDF (Portable Document Format) is an electronic file format that captures all elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print or forward to someone else. Its importance within the legal industry continues to grow as more and more of our colleagues, as well as the courts (both Federal and State) require lawyers to produce output in a PDF format. In fact, as of December 2010, most, if not all of the Federal District Courts required all court filings electronically in PDF format. With this fact comes the realization that most legal professionals utilize less than 10% of the features and functionality included in the Adobe Acrobat product suite. This article hopes to shed some more light on how law firms of all sizes and complexities can make better use of this Adobe technology they probably already have.
