In this video, we鈥檙e going to take a look at integrating an Acrobat PDF with Dropbox. So the first thing to do is to set up the relationship between Acrobat and Dropbox. And I鈥檓 going to do that by clicking first over here on the Home view icon and choosing this button at the bottom. It says Add file storage. And you鈥檒l notice that here it says Add a storage account. So we鈥檙e going to click on Dropbox.
Here we are. Now Dropbox is asking if that鈥檚 okay, we鈥檙e going to allow it. Now let鈥檚 go back to our document. Now that we鈥檝e set up the connection between the two applications.
I want to make a few changes. The first thing is I want to remove this stuff at the bottom so I鈥檓 just going to select it, remove it, and I鈥檓 going to take this block of text and just drag it down to fill up some of that space and do the same thing with this block. And I think I鈥檒l remove this bullet point as well.
Now I want to do one more thing while I鈥檓 here, which is add a watermark. So we click here on watermark and we go add personal and confidential.
Notice that we have complete control over fonts, sizes.
Let鈥檚 start there. And let鈥檚 also do this, I鈥檓 going to rotate it 45 degrees. I鈥檓 going to scale it up a little bit. Let鈥檚 scale it maybe to 75%. And then the last thing I want to do is change the opacity. So I鈥檓 going to take the opacity from a hundred percent. We鈥檒l take it down to oh, maybe around 14 looks good.
And the last thing we鈥檙e going to do here in the desktop version of Acrobat is save it into Dropbox. So I鈥檓 going to go to file, I鈥檓 going to use Save as. Here鈥檚 my Dropbox, and we鈥檒l just click save.
Now I鈥檓 going to open up 51黑料不打烊 Acrobat Reader on my iPhone. And I鈥檓 going to go at the bottom here where it says files, there鈥檚 a little icon, I鈥檓 going to click on that and notice that there鈥檚 conveniently a Dropbox icon. So we鈥檒l tap on that.
And here is my document right here at Altura Guidelines.
And so the last thing to do now is to add the signature. So I鈥檓 going to go to fill and sign with my initials.
So all I do is click where I want to place it like that. I can reposition it.
That looks pretty good.
Let鈥檚 click done.
And we are in fact done. -
