In my practice, I am continually amazed at how most lawyers underuse Adobe Acrobat’s features despite the fact that pdf files have become the standard file form for legal briefs and pleadings. Such basic and simple-to-use Adobe features as bookmarking and linking greatly facilitate the review of large documents, but rarely do lawyers include these features in their papers. I bookmark and link all my large briefs and pleadings, and many judges — most of whom review briefs and pleadings on a computer these days — have commented to me on how much they enjoy using those features in reviewing voluminous documents.
Ed Poll realizes the same thing that I do. So, he interviews Rick Borstein, Business Development Manager for the Legal Community for Abobe Systems, Inc. in this podcast in which Borstein discusses the new features in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat that are of special interest to lawyers. It’s 20 minutes of listening that will be well worth your time.
