1. Resolve to be green(er). The average office worker consumes seven reams of paper per year. That's around 3,500 pages. It it is estimated that a 10 percent reduction in global printing costs would save companies $3.5 billion globally. Every ream of paper saved equates to 18.5 less pounds of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Why not save trees (and money) by using PDF as a viable alternative to printing?
2. Secure your PDF files. Digital certificates and document encryption are a crucial component of overall document security, enabling you to safeguard sensitive financial, legal, and personal information. At the most basic level, consider password-protecting sensitive PDF files. You lock your filing cabinet; why not your digital documents? Control not only who can open your PDF files, but everything they can do within them. Restrict access to printing, saving, editing and even prevent the recipient from copying text.
3. Work smarter, not harder. All the features in the world are meaningless when you can't actually use them. A good PDF Reader allows you to customize its user interface, placing the tools you use most where you need them. Create your own Quick Access Toolbar and setup custom keyboard shortcuts and document views.
4. Reduce PDF security risks. Malicious PDF files comprised 80 percent of all security exploits in 2009.. Take control of PDF security and customize your preferences to suit your workflow and comfort levels. Nitro PDF Shockwave Flash (SWF) content in PDF files is one of the most common foundations of PDF exploits. Enable or disable JavaScript to mitigate this risk completely. Specify a whitelist of web-sites to allow internet-based connectivity from within PDFs, or disable it completely. Different users require different levels of security and control.
5. Be PDF efficient. Eliminate time-wastage and unnecessary steps with a truly multi-functional PDF reader. Stamp your handwritten signature onto a page without ever leaving your screen, using the Stamp Signature tool. Extract text and images to easily repurpose PDF-based content into other applications.
