Buying PDF Software
First choose the product you want (see below) . Your department will have to pay the costs for a license although it will be a subsidised rate. Once that is agreed simply log a helpdesk call detailing which Adobe product is to be installed and your PC Asset number
Choosing which product
If you want to:
- convert documents and modify existing PDF's then buy Acrobat 7.0 Standard as it's functions allow you to edit PDF's and make documents more accessible
- have the most accessible documents possible then you can buy Acrobat 7.0 Professional. We do not require or recommend you to buy this but it's an option that's available
You can visit Adobe's website to find out more about products
