Adobe developed the Portable Document Format to standardize electronic document handling. PDF, the file format that carries the business world on its back, is everywhere, from product manuals to legal documents. To open, view, and edit PDFs, you need a PDF reader -- for example, Adobe's free Reader. Despite competition from simpler tools, Reader remains the standard the others are judged against. We looked at the latest version of Reader, Adobe Reader X. With it you can view and annotate all PDF files, sign documents electronically, and access optional Adobe Online subscription services directly from inside its interface.

Reader X's familiar interface opens with a quick-start file manager from which we could open a recent file or log in to an existing Adobe Online account. We clicked Open and browsed to a folder full of PDFs we use for testing. Reader rendered each document with high detail and faithful color reproduction. Clicking the Sign icon on Reader's toolbar let us digitally sign documents by adding text or attaching a signature via a wizard. We could also Print our document or e-mail it as an attachment or via Adobe SendNow. We could highlight text, add Sticky Notes, take a Snapshot, and attach Comments.

Reader has some extras that stripped-down competitors can't match, such as its Read Out Loud tool, which can read documents to you if you have sound capability. A Tracker tool monitors updates to Reviews and Forms. Under the Edit menu, entries labeled Protection, Analysis, and Accessibility let us manage security settings, check document accessibility, and analyze data using the Object Data Tool and Geospatial Location Tool. Reader doesn't lack support, either, starting with the sort of extensive Help file you'd expect from an Adobe product. The optional online services include converting PDFs to Word or Excel documents and creating PDFs using Adobe CreatePDF online. Clicking Tools toggles open the online extras.

As we noted, Adobe Reader X is the standard for freeware PDF readers, none of which can match Reader's capabilities and extras. Lighter, simpler tools are available, but Adobe's free reader remains the one to beat.

Typekit is now called Adobe Fonts and is included with Creative Cloud and other subscriptions. Learn more.

Storage is a core component of the cloud offering that ensures that you always have access to your content and related services. It allows you to manage your Creative Cloud assets and Document Cloud assets. With the Creative Cloud assets, you can even enable collaboration and sharing among users. Creative Cloud also helps you sync your content to your desktop. All content created or uploaded by you is tied to your account.

You can migrate content for any one of the following reasons:

• When switching from an Adobe ID to an Enterprise/Federated ID account. For more information, see Manage identity types.
• Your organization moves from teams plan to an enterprise plan. Hence, your applications get associated with your new enterprise account.

If you have assets linked to an existing Adobe ID account, you can migrate these assets from your current account to your new enterprise account. The migration can either be done automatically or manually. This document describes how you can manually migrate your content.

Files stored online remain associated with the original account. To migrate files from Adobe ID account to enterprise account, download files from your existing Adobe ID account. Then, upload them to the enterprise account.

The easiest way to migrate your files is via Creative Cloud Files folder on your desktop.

Note:

Comments and versions associated with the files are not retained.

To use the Creative Cloud desktop app to sync files, do the following.

Switch to your new account or select a different storage location.

To switch to your new account, open the Creative Cloud Application. Click Sign Out from the Profile menu. Then, in the confirmation dialog box, click Sign Out again.

Now, sign in to the new account.


To select a different storage location, click the vertical ellipsis on the right top of the Creative Cloud Application, select Preferences > Creative Cloud > Files. And, change the Folder Location.

Note:

Ensure that you can view hidden files and folders on your computer.

The Creative Cloud Files folder associated with your Adobe ID is renamed to (your old Adobe ID) Creative Cloud Files. And, all your previously synced files are available in the now renamed folder. Your Enterprise ID is now associated with the Creative Cloud Files folder.

Copy the contents from the Creative Cloud Files folder associated to your previous Adobe ID to the Creative Cloud Files folder associated to the new one.

The Users folder can be found in the following location.

Windows: C:Users<user name>
Mac: Mac HD/Users/<user name>/

Your Creative Cloud desktop app initiates the Sync operation for the migrated files.

Libraries stored online remain associated with an account. To migrate your libraries to a different account, share the libraries with the different account. Then, in the other account, accept the sharing.

Sign in to the source account from which you want to migrate the libraries.

For the applicable library, click the drop-down arrow and choose Send Link.

In the Send Link dialog box, click the toggle to create a public link. And, copy the link.

Navigate to the public link after signing in with the destination account (your new enterprise account).

You can either navigate to the public link on another browser/computer, or you can sign out of the account on the current browser. And, sign in to the destination account.

In the above procedure, repeat steps 3 through 6 for each library that you want to migrate.

To sync the settings, sign in to an app with your Adobe ID, sync settings, and sign out. Then, sign in with the Enterprise or Federated ID. The latest settings on the desktop can then be synced to Creative Cloud using your Enterprise ID or Federated ID.

Copying/moving mobile creations from one cloud to another is not supported.

Creative Cloud Market assets and Design Libraries data are also account-specific. You can download the assets again, and create Design Libraries.

For assistance with Adobe Color data migration from an Adobe ID to an Enterprise or Federated ID, have your administrator log a ticket with Adobe Support.

Fonts activated on your desktop are only available if you're signed in to the Creative Cloud for desktop app. When you sign in with an enterprise ID, fonts activated with the Adobe ID are unavailable.

You can activate fonts on your desktop. Apps such as InDesign and Illustrator also prompt you to activate fonts if they encounter missing fonts in documents.

You have two Behance accounts that co-exist, one associated with your Adobe ID and another with your Enterprise ID. There is no direct way to migrate the data from Behance. As a work-around, you could do the following for Behance:

Create a Behance account using your Enterprise or Federated ID.

Sign in to your existing account using your Adobe ID.

Co-own the projects in the existing account with your new account.

Optionally, sign in to your new account and remove the co-owner of your old account. This procedure migrates the content, but not the comments and followers associated with the old account.
