I.INTRODUCTION:

A.PDF (Portable Document Format) Files: PDF is a 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. PDF files are created using Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Capture, or similar products. To view and use the files, you need the free Adobe Reader, which you can easily download for free (www.adobe.com). Once you've downloaded the Reader, it will start automatically whenever you want to look at a PDF file. PDF files have become the de-facto standard method for distributing electronic forms on the Internet. B.A Little History: PDF started off on the dream of a paperless office, as the pet project of one of Adobe's founders, John Warnock. Initially it was an internal project at Adobe to create a file format so documents could be spread throughout the company and displayed on any computer using any operating system. In his paper which led to the development of PDF, John Warnock wrote: 'Imagine being able to send full text and graphics documents (newspapers, magazine articles, technical manuals etc.) over electronic mail distribution networks. These documents could be viewed on any machine and any selected document could be printed locally. This capability would truly change the way information is managed.' Warnock's prediction proved prescient. The first time Adobe actually talked about this technology was at a Seybold conference in San Jose in 1991. At that time, it was referred to as 'IPS' which stood for 'Interchange PostScript.' Version 1.0 of PDF was announced at Comdex Fall in

1992 where the technology won a 'best of Comdex' award. The tools to create and

view PDF-files, Acrobat, were released on June 15, 1993. If you think Adobe Acrobat is expensive today, keep in mind what Adobe originally charged for tools to create PDF files. Acrobat Distiller was available in personal and network versions, priced at $695 and $2,495 respectively. You even had to pay $50 for Adobe Reader. This approach didn't exactly turn PDF into a popular format overnight. Later on, Adobe dropped the price of Acrobat and launched the free version of Adobe Reader. C.PDF Released As Open Standard: On July 1, 2008, Adobe released PDF as an open standard to be published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1. Also in 2008, Adobe released a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-

1 granting royalty free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to

make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant applications. Page 2 "'By releasing the full PDF specification for ISO standardization, we are reinforcing our commitment to openness', says Kevin Lynch, Chief Technology Officer at Adobe. 'As governments and organizations increasingly request open formats, maintenance of the PDF specification by an external and participatory organization will help continue to drive innovation and expand the rich PDF ecosystem that has evolved over the past 15 years.'"1 D.What Is PDF/A? PDF/A (archival PDF) is a type of PDF that is used for the long term storage of documents. Standard PDF files rely on external information, such as font libraries, to be read, and this can pose problems for retrieval far in the future. PDF/A files, on the other hand, have all information embedded in the file and do not rely on external information. This is useful for archiving, as anyone with a PDF/A reader can view a PDF/A file without the need for appropriate external information. The drawback to this is that because all information must be embedded in PDF/A files, they tend to be larger than regular PDF files.2 For a more detailed description of PDF/A, see the description provided by the Sustainability of Digital Formats Planning for Library of Congress Collections here: http://tinyurl.com/4wfwazy. PDF/A matters to you because many of the electronic case filing systems require PDF/A or may require it in the future.

E.Why Lawyers Are Using PDFs:

1. Worldwide Standard: PDFs have become the worldwide standard for the

distribution of electronic documents. Since they are so common, it's extremely uncommon for the recipient of a PDF to be unable to open it.

2. Protect the Document: Adobe Acrobat allows you to protect a document

so that the text cannot be altered. You can also control who may access it, whether it can be printed or opened, etc.

3. Collaboration: Today, Adobe Acrobat makes it easy to solicit feedback,

comments and proposed changes to a PDF document. This makes PDFs ideal for negotiating the language of a documents and the like.

4. Easy Creation: You can create PDFs from any computer program that will

print (Word, WordPerfect, etc.). You can also create PDFs with a scanner.

5. Easy Combination: PDFs can be compiled from many sources and any PDF

can be combined with another.

1 PDF Format Becomes ISO Standard, July 2, 2008. See http://tinyurl.com/nbmbcrz.

2 What Is PDF/A? CVISION Technologies, Inc. See http://tinyurl.com/lxqnsag

Page 3 6. Forms: Adobe Acrobat Professional allows you to create your own fillable forms; and makes it easy to collect the data that is entered into them. F.Microsoft Office and Acrobat Integration: Acrobat has a slick integration with Microsoft Office (adds buttons and makes creating PDFs easier), but not every version of Acrobat integrates with every version of Office. Even if you don't have versions of Office and Acrobat that integrate, you can still create PDFs from within MS Office by following the steps described in paragraph VI.A. below. You just won't be able to create PDFs in the manner described in paragraph VI.B. below.

Here are the versions that integrate:

1. Acrobat 8 is compatible with MS Office 2003

2. Acrobat 9 is compatible with MS Office 2003 & 2007

3. Acrobat X is compatible with MS Office 2003, 2007 & 2010

4. Acrobat XI and DC is compatible with MS Office 2003, 2007, 2010 & 2013

5. Acrobat DC is compatible with MS Office 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and

Office 365

II.TOOLS FOR CREATING PDFS:

A.Basic Types of PDFs: There are two basic types of PDFs ʹ Image Only and

Searchable.

1. Image Only PDFs: This type of PDF is visually an exact replica of the original

document (whether the original document was electronic or paper-based), but it contains no text which could be searched by Acrobat or any other program. This is usually the type of PDF that you get when you scan a document using a copier, scanner or multifunction machine.

2. Searchable PDFs: This type of PDF is also an exact replica of the original

document, but it also contains a hidden layer of text so that you can search for any word on any page. PDFs created from other computer programs electronically are searchable by default. In other words, if I create a PDF from a Word or WordPerfect document, an Excel workbook or an email, they are always searchable. As mentioned above, PDFs created by to scan will determine whether you can create searchable PDFs. So that searchable PDFs. B.What Can Be Converted To A PDF: If you have the right hardware and software, you can create PDFs from just about anything, including electronic files (Word, Page 4 WordPerfect, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), paper documents, web pages, email, even are probably the most popular options.

1. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: There are two flavors here: Acrobat DC Pro "with
