Acrobat.com tips
I see my Buzzword files, but where are my Acrobat.com files?
You could be in the Buzzword organizer. Your Acrobat.com files are stored in the Acrobat.com organizer. The
Acrobat.com organizer can include files you uploaded from your computer, files that were shared with you, or PDFs
you created. From Acrobat.com you can switch to Buzzword, which has its own organizer. The Buzzword Document
Organizer contains only Buzzword documents (your own and documents shared with you by other collaborators).
• In the Buzzword Document Organizer, click the Acrobat.com Files icon in the upper-right corner of the toolbar
to switch to the Acrobat.com organizer.
• In the upper-right corner of the Acrobat.com organizer, click the Buzzword Docs icon to open the Buzzword
Document Organizer.
File sharing
How can I tell who is sharing a file?
Click the file in the organizer. The Collaborator bar at the bottom of the organizer window shows the author of the file
and the readers (people sharing the file).
How do I stop sharing a file with someone?
Click the file icon in the organizer to select the file. In the Collaborator bar, move the pointer over the icon of the
person sharing the file. Click the menu button and choose Remove from the context menu. You can stop sharing a file
only if you are its author.
Note: If you remove a file, it automatically disappears from the organizer of any other user you have shared the file with.
However, if the user has already downloaded the file, the downloaded version is still accessible.
How do I share a file in a web page?
To embed a Flash preview of your shared file on a web page, select the file icon in the organizer. Open the file context
menu and choose Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. Viewers can browse a multipage document in the previewer,
change zoom level, or maximize the previewer to full screen.
The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF. See “What file types can I convert to PDF?”
on page 14.
Note: To ensure a file can be previewed, it must be set to open access.
Can I change the size or orientation of the web page preview window?
The default size of the embedded web page preview window is designed for documents with an 8.5 x 11 aspect ratio.
You can change the preview window to accommodate smaller or larger embedded documents. To resize the preview
window, edit the width and height parameters in the embed code that you paste into a web page. The width and height
parameters appear twice in the embed code:
