PDFMaker is an Acrobat feature that operates within many business applications, such as Microsoft Office applications and Lotus Notes. When you install Acrobat, PDFMaker controls appear in the work area of the authoring application.
Using PDFMaker within an authoring application is a simple, one-click procedure. It involves clicking a Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar button or (Windows only) choosing a command on the Adobe PDF menu. It is not necessary to open Acrobat.
