Adobe New Tool
A new editing experience in the Prepare Forms tool lets users add and edit text in a form as well as in form fields. Users can start a form authoring workflow from scratch without an existing PDF or scan. The Adobe Max event showcases all of Adobe’s creative applications and this year there’s a whole slew of new tools to talk about. We’ve selected the ones most likely to appeal to photographers, videographers and content creators.
