Adobe Finally Launches Acrobat for iOS… Kind Of [Updated]

By

Adobe-CreatePDF-head

Adobe has launched a great new app for iOS that carries a similar kind of functionality as its Acrobat application for PCs. Named CreatePDF, the new app allows you to create high quality PDF files from a plethora of different file formats — with just your iOS device.

Adobe actually says that “CreatePDF brings the same high-quality PDF creation as Adobe Acrobat to your iPad, iPhone and other iOS devices.” The app will create PDFs from Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents; JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF images; and even Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign files.

CreatePDF promises to make high-quality documents using the same technology built into Adobe Acrobat:

  • Creates PDF files that look exactly like the original using the same technology as Adobe Acrobat.
  • Consistent, high-fidelity PDF conversion independent of device or software. Uses Adobe’s online services to ensure there is no compromise on quality or performance. The service does not keep a copy of your original or the PDF document.
  • Creates PDF files that meet accessibility standards.
  • Preserves links, end notes, foot notes and creates bookmarks automatically in PDF files converted from Office documents
  • Preserves Transitions and converts Multi-media Content for Power Point files.
CreatePDF is available in the App Store now for $9.99.

UPDATE: This story has been updated to correct the application’s description. It originally claimed that CreatePDF also opened a plethora of different files types, which it doesn’t: it simply creates PDFs from them as stated above.

    This appears to be typical Adobe crapware however.  It costs $10 when it’s really a beta and a utility not an app per se, the iTunes listing for it has egregious errors in the description that come from (you guessed it), converting the text from one format to another, and it doesn’t support the only actual word processor for the OS which is Pages or the only actual spreadsheet, Numbers.  

    So it’s poorly designed, over-priced, buggy, and doesn’t support the main features of the OS it purports to run on.  

    Same as every Adobe product ever released for Mac.  Typical.

    Another in the long list of things we really *don’t* need or want on iOS.

    Complete and total fail! No pages or numbers, no deal, particularly at 10 bucks.

    I hope this is good. PDF have been my hell.

    So many types, so many layers that can get errors. so many printers that only use old PDF formats. So many formats. And getting the same color has been the main frustration.
