CLE: Lawyer’s Guide to PDF Files
Join us in Chicago or via live webcast from 1-4:45 p.m. Wednesday, March 25 to learn how to make your e-filing easier by using Adobe Acrobat and PDF files! Today, it is impossible to practice law without encountering PDF files on a regular basis. As such, every lawyer needs to understand how they should be used, their benefits, and their risks. The benefits range from protecting files via password encryption to eliminating compatibility issues when sharing documents with others to reducing paper in your office. Risks include the fact that PDFs can be easily edited unless they’re locked down.
Don’t miss this half-day seminar that tells you everything you need to know about PDFs, including: the risks and benefits of PDF files; how to remove metadata and use the electronic document security features; the importance of redaction and how to do it; how to use the Bates numbering feature; splitting or combining PDFs; how to scan a document to create a PDF; how to convert Word documents to PDFs (and vice-versa); creating fillable PDF forms for your staff and clients to use; how to add comments, markups, and annotations to a PDF; how to use the Stamp tool to create electronic signatures; producing redline comparisons of PDFs; bookmarking and navigating a PDF; and how to reduce the file size for easier sharing and electronic storage concerns.
