Academic literature on the topic 'Adobe acrobat (computer program)'

The students in an introductory physics class for non-science majors are not likely to have sophisticated computer skills. However, many of them have become Web surfers and can be enticed to use the Web as part of their study of physics. Our initial efforts have focused on using the Web to improve courses for elementary and secondary education majors. Materials available to the students include both academic and administrative activities. Students may have access to items such as the course syllabus and up-to-date information on their grades. On the academic side, practice tests, textbook pages, and some interactive programs are available. In developing these materials we have incorporated a variety of techniques including HTML files, C programs, the Macromedia Director Shockwave plug-in, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. In all of the efforts we have attempted to minimize the amount of time spent on software development.

The article considers the most modern software that can be used in the development of various architectural and design projects of interior and exterior spaces, as well as highlights the features and benefits of using each of them in projects within the disciplines of specialty 191 Architecture and Urban Planning. The main problem of modern architectural education is that with evolution of computer technologies, began the active development, implementation and modernization of various software tools for various types of design, 3-D modeling, sketching, etc. This area has developed very rapidly and almost every year new versions of programs are developed, where new features appear that increase the quality, efficiency, convenience and speed of work with these programs. Due to such a rapid software update, the previously developed curricula for the specialty 191 Architecture and Urban Planning need to be updated. Today in the world there is a situation that the greater the number of programs owned by the employee and the higher the skill of working with them, the greater the value and need for staff in the global labor market. Therefore, modern educational programs need to be modernized by introducing practical work with new software, which was discussed in the article. Namely, the Magic Plan, Ruler App and Photo Ruler programs that will be useful for measuring the designed premises. Home Design 3D and Homestyler interior design programs will come in handy for developing and approving a general interior design solution with a customer. To develop the working documentation, the CAD programs Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Autocad, Graphisoft Archicad and the BIMx Viever application were considered. BIMx Viever may be needed for demonstrating the work done to the customer or additional consultations with him. The article also discussed 3-D modeling programs Sketchup, Sculptris, Autodesk 3ds Max, Grasshopper and visualization programs Corona Render, V-Ray, Lumion and Abvent Artlantis. Additionally, the programs that may be needed for designing a project album were considered, they include CAD programs, programs for working with PDF files such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, and graphic editors Adobe Photoshop and its analogues.

Adobe Photoshop has been the defacto standard for imaging professionals for many years. Most scientists have adopted this program because of the ease of use and the quality of the output. It is obvious to most who use this program that most users only master a limited subset of this programs' capabilities.This session is an attempt to introduce more of this imaging applications' capabilites from one of Adbobe's Photoshop Evangelists. I will try to show you how to get the most out of Adobe Photoshop by revealing the most productive and efficient digital imaging workflows. I will focus on developing a greater understanding of the current technology within this powerful imaging application program as well as explain the most efficient methods of manipulating, printing, and posting images on the web. I will demonstrate quick and easy ways to crop and resize images as well as make tonal changes and apply custom color tables (Fig. 1).

The use of electronic files made universally readable in Adobe Acrobat will eventually replace paper submission in nearly every avenue used by scientists, whether files go to grants agencies, to reviewers, to colleagues via e-mail, or to publishers. It's for the obvious reason of reducing paper and the costs of mailing, but also because fonts often misbehave when going across operating system platforms, and because seemingly everyone has the Acrobat Reader, A better understanding of Adobe Acrobat can go a long way toward reducing the frustration that can easily arise from using this program inappropriately and ending up with poor image resolution.

PowerPoint has traditionally been the software of choice for slide shows tit conferences and meetings. Its ease of use has made the program ideal, along with its universality among scientists and engineers.The program does have its drawbacks, however. Most notably, it is saved in a format that essentially makes it unusable for any other purpose than that of a slide show. It cannot be used for publication, and, as many discover all too late, it is not the software of choice for making posters (both these phenomena go back to Microsoft's refusal to pay a license to Adobe for PostScript, the universally used “page description language” among publishers). The remainder of the drawbacks exist when the slide show needs to be distributed. Newer versions of PowerPoint can make HTML files for posting on a web site by using Save As under File, but saving in the PowerPoint format has not evolved as a way to view slide shows on the web.

Most PDF documents are inaccessible for people with disabilities, creating barriers in education, science, commerce, e-government, and recreation. Documents in PDF format are considered harder to make accessible than documents in other formats, primarily due to the insufficient tools available to assist content creators. In this article, we present the research and development of Ally, a new tool to assist content creators in remediating their PDF files to improve accessibility. Ally utilizes best practices from other areas of HCI research to create a more efficient and effective interaction for remediating regions, headers, reading order, and tables in a PDF document for improved accessibility. Twenty participants attempted to complete the same PDF accessibility remediation tasks using both Ally and a standard industry tool, Adobe Acrobat Pro. Ally was almost twice as fast and three times as accurate compared to Acrobat Pro, with participants reporting a strong preference for and a much higher level of satisfaction with Ally. The approaches taken in Ally improve the ability to create accessible PDFs efficiently and accurately for the four important aspects studied, but future work will need to incorporate additional functionality, related to remediating alt text, forms, and other aspects of PDF accessibility.

The development of technology may impact educational field. Research on technology and language learning shows that technology may provide some opportunities for students to get an easy access in information, integrated learning, and easy way to practice what they learn. The language created in the computer program can be used as a communication tool for its application, including in teaching English. Nowadays, using computer can support language learning. Regarding this point, this study aims to analyze new terms found in Adobe Photoshop Program.
 Further, the researchers also described morphological processes of the new terms in Adobe Photoshop program in teaching English vocabulary. While, the design of this research is descriptive qualitative design. The result shows compound and derived words can be classified as new terms in Adobe Photoshop CS4. Related to teaching vocabulary, the results show that teaching English vocabulary through word formation found in new terms in Adobe Photoshop Program may give an impact on students’ vocabulary development.

In the previous article (part 1), the procedure for setting the computer screen was discussed by using Adobe Gamma in the control panel. Adobe Gamma is also found on the drive where the system is installed. Click on Program Files > Common Files > Adobe > Calibration > Adobe Gamma.cpl. Double click to launch the gamma control wizard. On a Macintosh the Apple Calibration Utility can be used.The merits of using ink jet printers were also discussed. Merits include low cost (though costs escalate with the purchase of cartridges), high quality prints from any application, and the technology of a fine spray with higher image resolution as opposed to a laser jet printer and Tektronix Phasers (these printers separate images into dots at compromised resolutions).
