Acrobat DC gives you multiple options for collecting form responses, depending on your goals. • The fastest and easiest method is to use Acrobat to convert an existing paper or electronic form into a simple PDF file - without adding fillable form fields – and send it to others as an email attachment.

Adobe Document Cloud enterprise plans also let you add form data collection and e-sign services to your business applications through turn-key integrations, APIs, and professional services. New PDF Portfolios created with Acrobat DC use a simpler visual experience than prior generations. In the past, Acrobat made it possible to customize PDF Portfolios with built-in themes, layouts, and palettes that were dependent upon Flash technology.

Because support for Flash-compatible content is being reduced, these features are no longer available. This affects the creation of new PDF Portfolios only. Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC will continue to support viewing of PDF Portfolios created with prior versions. Similar to Protected Mode in Acrobat Reader, Protected View is an implementation of “sandboxing” technology for the rich Acrobat feature set. In Acrobat DC, Adobe extends the functionality of Protected View beyond blocking write-based attacks that attempt to execute malicious code on your computer system using the PDF file format to read-based attacks that attempt to steal your sensitive data or intellectual property via PDF files.

Just like Protected Mode, Protected View confines the execution of untrusted programs (for example, any PDF file and the processes it invokes) to a restricted sandbox to avoid malicious code using the PDF format from writing to or reading from your computer’s file system. Protected View assumes all PDF files are potentially malicious and confines processing to the sandbox unless you specifically indicate that a file is trusted.

Acrobat Pro DC and Acrobat Standard DC desktop software are available for volume deployment using either “continuous” or “classic” tracks. Typical installations use the continuous track, which updates silently and frequently in order to stay current with new features, security and platform enhancements, and bug fixes. The continuous track is the only track that enables access to all paid Adobe Document Cloud services, including support for the Send for Signature and Send & Track tools. If desired, IT administrators can turn off automatic updates in order to test a new version before rolling it out to employees.

Only the latest version is available for download. IT administrators can also tune out Document Cloud services so employees don’t see the options presented in their user experience. Using similar update methods to Acrobat X and XI, the classic track uses a quarterly update cadence to deliver security and platform enhancements and bug fixes only.

IT administrators can tune out Document Cloud services if desired..
