Organizing PDF Files
New in Acrobat 7 is an Organizer, a separate window used to manage and view PDF files on your
computer. To access the Organizer, click the Organizer button on the File toolbar or choose File >
Organizer > Open Organizer. The Organizer contains three frames (Figure 7.12). Resize the frames in the
window by dragging the splitter bars.
The Organizer also includes several commands you can use in addition to organizing PDF files, such as
opening, printing, or emailing a file. You can also create a binder using the command from the toolbar, or
start a review cycle.
Click a file or folder in the Categories pane at the left of the window to display its contents and
thumbnails in a list in the central Files pane; click a file in the Files pane to display its contents in the right
Pages pane.

Using Backgrounds and Watermarks
Here are some tips for working with backgrounds or watermarks:
x The Add Watermarks & Backgrounds dialog box uses the first page of the document as a sample. To
show another page instead, move that page to the start of the document before opening the dialog
box.
x When a background or watermark is applied and saved, it cannot be removed. This is to preserve the
document's integrity. If you aren't sure about using the feature, save a copy of the file without the
added content.
x If you do not have a copy of a file and decide you do not want to use the watermark or background,
open a blank document in a source program, such as Word, and save it as a PDF. Then apply it to the
document as an image in the Add Watermarks & Backgrounds dialog box.
x Instead of processing a large number of images in an image editing program to apply a watermark,
combine them into one PDF document and then add a text or image watermark in Acrobat.
