for Legal Professionals
With the release of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Adobe Systems now delivers features specic
to the legal profession, including Bates numbering and redaction. Building on a solid foundation,
Acrobat 8 gives legal professionals the power to intuitively create and access PDF les, collect
information, securely control access to information, and facilitate collaboration. e widespread
adoption of electronic court lings and the growing practice of exchanging disclosure and
discovery materials in electronic format calls for tools to perform those tasks. Acrobat 8 delivers
a comprehensive solution for working with digital documents, akin to paper-based routines,
with greater eciency and portability. Acrobat 8 provides simple yet secure solutions for
collaboration and exchanging documents with clients and other legal professionals using PDF
(Portable Document Format), which has become the de facto standard for digital documents in
the legal community.
Portable Document Format (PDF)
Rened and perfected over 15 years, Adobe PDF lets legal professionals capture and view
information—from any application, on any computer system—and share it with anyone around
the world. PDF les can be viewed and printed on any computer system—Macintosh, Microso®
Windows®, UNIX®, and many mobile platforms. Adobe PDF les look just like original docu-
ments, regardless of the application used to create them. Paper documents scanned to PDF look
just like their hard-copy counterparts and can be quickly turned into computer-searchable les.
Unlike PDF les, documents scanned to Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) lose their original
appearance when converted to searchable les. When it comes to long-term le retention, the
PDF/Archive standard (PDF/A) enables organizations to archive documents electronically in a
way that ensures preservation of content for later retrieval and reuse with a consistent and
predictable result over an extended period of time in the future. e International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) has approved PDF/A as an archive standard.
e federal judiciarys Case Management and Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system has been
implemented in almost all district and bankruptcy courts. CM/ECF allows the courts to have
case le documents in electronic format and to accept lings via the Internet. CM/ECF systems
are now in use in 89% of the federal courts: 89 district courts, 93 bankruptcy courts, the Court of
International Trade, and the Court of Federal Claims. Most of those courts accept electronic
lings. More than 27 million cases are on CM/ECF systems, and more than 200,000 attorneys
and others have led documents via the Internet.
e CM/ECF system stores case and related information as PDF les. Most legal professionals
nd the system easy to uselers prepare a document using their word processor of choice, then
save it to PDF for electronic ling with the court. Attorneys practicing in courts oering the
electronic ling capability can le documents directly with the court via the Internet. When
documents are led electronically, the system automatically generates and sends a verifying
