Bring paper to life on the Web. With Adobe Acrobat Capture 2.01 software, you can easily turn volumes of paper into searchable Portable Document Format (PDF) libraries. It's perfect for forms, manuals, specifications, books -- any important document you need to make accessible on your Web site or intranet.

How Acrobat Capture Works

Every office has reams of paper scattered on desktops and buried deep within folders and file cabinets. Reaching this information shouldn't require a major excavation. Now you can turn these printed documents into instantly accessible resources instead of artifacts awaiting rediscovery. Adobe Acrobat Capture software makes it fast and easy to put paper documents to work online.

Preserve paper documents in perfect condition -- electronically

Here's how it works

1. Simply scan a printed page of any document -- from contracts and spreadsheets to brochures, books, or magazines. (Of course, Acrobat Capture supports all the leading scanners.) The image is sent straight to your desktop computer.
2. In seconds, Acrobat Capture converts the scanned image to an electronic copy in PDF
3. Once your document is in PDF, it is completely platform- and application-independent. Send it to a colleague across the hall or to thousands of people around the world -- attached to an e-mail, made available across your company network, posted on your World Wide Web site, distributed on a CD-ROM, or included in a Lotus Notes database. Macintosh, Windows, DOS, and UNIX system users can all instantly access PDF files by using the freely distributed Acrobat Reader.

Adobe Acrobat 4.0 lets you view PDF files seamlessly from within Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

4. Convert entire treasure troves of documents, such as marketing literature, product documentation, and other corporate data to easily accessible PDF collections. In seconds, you can search them to find exactly the data you need.
