Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc User Manual Pdf

[Lina Drury]

Icreate rather large documents all the time and they are usually over 100 pages or more..

I'm having a problem with files that stop reading at the end of each page, the screen reader user would have to manually scroll from page to page by pressing control+page+down to move through the file, this is a problem because a lot of users may not know how to scroll through pages in this fashion..

I was told this is actually an Acrobat setting.

In Acrobat, by going to Advanced > Accessibility > Change Reading Options and by changing the radio-button to specify on reading the entire document which does work, however these settings aren't saved within the file..

The user would have to set these settings themselves, is there anyway to save these settings with the file??

I'm creating most of my files with word opening them up with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and testing them with Jaws screen reader..

The central entities in Docear are annotations, i.e. comments, highlighted text, and bookmarks that you create in PDF files. This means, after downloading a PDF, you read it with your favorite PDF viewer and annotate anything you consider important and that you might want to look-up or cite later.

Docear imports your PDFs and annotations. You create categories reflecting your research interests, and sort your PDFs and annotations into these categories. If you want to look up some information, you click the annotation and the PDF opens at the page you created the annotation.

The next step is drafting your own paper, assignment, thesis, or book. To start, create a new mind map. From your previously created literature mind map you can copy all the PDFs and annotations you need.

Java is the programming language in which Docear (and many other programs) is written in. To run a software written in Java, you need to install the free Java Runtime Environment (Java JRE). Probably you have already installed Java. If not, and Docear does not start, visit www.java.com if you are a Linux or Windows user. Mac OS 10.6 users may download Java here, Mac OS 10.5 users here, and Mac OS 10.7 users here. Our FAQ also contains information for Mac users.

To get more space for your work, you can hide and re-size all components. Just click the little triangles to hide a component. You can also press the TAB key on your keyboard, and all components will vanish. A double click on a ribbon will hide all entries in the ribbons but not the ribbons themselves.

Alternatively to moving nodes via the menu or keyboard shortcuts, you may also move nodes via drag&drop. Click on a node, hold the mouse button pressed, and then move the selected node over any node you like. Depending on where exactly you release the mouse button, the node will be added as sibling or child node. Release the mouse button over the top of a node, and the moved node will be added as sibling (left part of the below screenshot). Release the mouse at the right corner of a node, and the node will be added as child node (right part of the screenshot).

To look up information, click the PDF or annotation icon, and the PDF will open in your favorite PDF editor on exactly the page, you made the annotation. However, to enable Docear to open a PDF on the correct page, you need a compatible PDF viewer.

Whenever you edit an annotation in Docear, it will be automatically changed in the PDF, and vice versa. If the annotation represents highlighted text, please note that Docear is not importing the text that is actually highlighted. PDF editors (should) copy the text you highlighted into an (invisible) popup note, and the text in this pop-up note is imported by Docear. Some PDF editors indicate such a pop-up note as a little icon (see screenshot below). If you move the mouse over the highlighted text, you will see the text that will be actually imported by Docear.

In that mind map, you create new nodes for each chapter, paragraph and sentence. You are not restricted to only draft your paper in that mind map. Feel free to create additional nodes for to-do items, or to maintain a list of journals or conferences to publish the paper (see screenshot).

Free nodes appear to be floating in the mind map. You can freely position them via drag&drop (move your mouse to the very left or right corner of the node, click, and move). However, sometimes free notes cause problems in the layout. We would suggest to not using them, except you really need them.

The mind map has to be hierarchical. All items which are numbered will become headings of the corresponding layer (e.g. direct sub nodes of the root node become chapters, their direct sub nodes will create sections, and so on). Sub nodes without numbering directly under a numbered one (no matter in which layer) become Paragraphs with a headline. All other structures are put in (nested) \description environments. Detail text of a node is put into the description items. Cites will result in a \cite at any place and thus put your notes from its sub nodes into a description environment. Notes will be a \todo annotation which requires the package todonotes.

Finally, you can change the citation style by choosing it from the Style list. Docear4Word has only a few styles pre-installed. If the one you need is not in that list, choose here from more than 1700 citation styles.

Docear has a recommender system for academic literature. If you activate the recommender system, Docear will analyze your PDFs and mind maps to identify your research interest (of course, we respect your privacy). Once a week, or when you click the recommendation icon (1), you receive a list of up to ten recommendations. All recommended papers are free and instantly downloadable, in full-text, as PDF. You can either open the PDFs in your browser, by clicking the title (2), or you can download the PDF directly to your literature repository (3a+3b).

Setting your own keyboard shortcuts is a piece of cake. Hold the CTRL key pressed, and click the entry in the menu you want to set the shortcut for. A dialog will pop-up in which you press your desired keyboard shortcut. Done!

When you move your mouse over an entry in the menu, a layer will show after a few seconds showing the associated shortcut (if there is one). This means, if you press this shortcut (e.g. CTRL+W) the corresponding function will be executed immediately (e.g. closing the current mind map).

Sometimes, it might be handy to select multiple nodes at once. To do so, hold the CTRL key pressed, and select multiple nodes with your mouse. Alternatively, press SHIFT and use the arrow keys to select multiple nodes.

You can open multiple mind maps at once, each in a separate tab. First you need to open several maps via double clicking them in the workspace panel. To switch between mind maps, use the menu, click on the tabs, or press CTRL+TAB (switch to next map) or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB (switch to previous)

You might want to store your PDFs in different folders, for instance c:\university\my pdfs\ and c:\university\pdfs from colleagues\. To let Docear watch several folders, add these folders to your literature repository via the menu or doing a right mouse click on your literature repository. However, the easiest solution would be to store your PDFs in c:\university\pdfs\mine\ and c:\university\pdfs\colleagues\, and then just watch c:\university\pdfs\.

As mentioned, it might be tiring, to sort PDFs from the incoming node to your categories because you always would have to switch between Incoming node and categories. One solution could be to manually move your PDFs from your incoming node to your Temp map and open this map in a new instance. However, if that is the way you want to manage your literature, there is a better solution, namely a completely new map with a monitoring function.

mon_mindmap_folder specifies in wich mind maps Docear is looking for already imported PDFs. This means only PDFs and annotations that are not already linked in a mind map in mon_mindmap_folder will be imported. By now, the only valid value is @@library_mindmaps@@ which means, PDFs and annotations not being in a mind map in your library will be imported.

Docear watches your literature repository not only for new PDFs but also for many other file types, e.g. Word documents, Excel sheets, images, etc. The file types Docear is monitoring may be specified in the preferences (see screenshot above).

You can extend the workspace and (1) import folders from your hard drive. This allows you quick access to files that might be stored outside your project home. Of course, you can also import folders that are already inside your project home. Additionally, you can create Virtual Folders (2) and link arbitrary files in these folders. This is comparable to shortcuts under Windows. The virtual folder does not really exist (except in Docear) and the files in it only point to the real files, while the imported folders (2) are 1:1 representations of a real folder on your hard drive.

If you activate this function, all your mind maps are stored on our server each time you save a mind map in Docear (of course, the original file remains on your computer). If you are not online at the time of saving, a copy is created and uploaded to our server the next time you are online. Your backups can be accessed through our web interface and you can not only access the latest version of your mind map but also all other revisions. That means, if you realize you made a mistake or you deleted a mind map by mistake, you can restore your mind map easily. In the future we plan to backup your reference data and PDFs as well, but for now only mind maps are stored on our server. If you use our backup feature, we will do some basic statistical analysis on your data. That means we will analyse how many users have how many mind maps (min, max, avg), how large mind maps are (file size), how often they are edited, etc. But we will not look into you mind maps.
