Working with files in PDF format is the order of the day, especially due to all the functionality and possibilities that these office files offer us. We use them both in domestic and more professional environments, and one of the most representative programs to handle them is Adobe Acrobat.
Not surprisingly, the format as such was initially developed by this software giant. A little later he released it so that any company or developer could make use of it, as it happened. And it is that at the moment many platforms and programs benefit from all the advantages that PDFs offer us. Here we can add all kinds of elements, not just text.
Similarly, and over the years, compatibility with this format has increased considerably. With this, what we want to tell you is that at the moment we can use a multitude of file types as a source to convert to PDF, or as a destination from a PDF. Precisely in these lines we are going to focus on the popular Adobe Acrobat to which we made reference before. As you can imagine, this is a software solution full of useful functions related to these contents.
However, now we are going to talk about those types of files that you can load in the program to later convert those contents to a final file with these characteristics. As you can imagine, not just any format is valid here, since Acrobat is compatible with a good number of these, but with limitations. Therefore, to convert some type of file that we are interested in, to a PDF, let’s see the supported formats here.
What files can I use in Acrobat to convert to PDF?
The most common uses for these conversion processes are those related to files belonging to texts or images. But as we mentioned before, the Adobe Acrobat program is limited in terms of its compatibility in this type of work. It is for all these reasons that we will show you below a list of the file formats that you can use to convert using this Adobe program:
- AutoCad files
- Adobe files
- BMP
- gifs
- HTML
- jpeg
- PCX
- PNG
- postscript
- TXT
- TIFF
Therefore, in case we need it, we only have to load the file with one of these commented formats to automatically convert it to PDF. All this opens up a wide range of possibilities, as you can imagine. But at the same time from this same application we have the possibility of converting using the aforementioned Adobe office format as a source. Also, it is worth knowing that in this case we have the possibility to output even more file formats in Acrobat.
Be that as it may, these are conversions that the program itself allows us to adjust in many cases. This way we can edit some parameters in certain formats before carrying out the conversion. For all this we only have to start the Adobe program and access its customization options. This is something we achieve through the Edit / Preferences / Convert to PDF menu option.
