The client will skim and then archive. Convert the 30-slide deck and two appendices to PDFs, make sure fonts are embedded and images remain high-res, generate a merged packet with a clickable table of contents, and provide a checksum so archival shows integrity.

The regulator requires official PDFs of our proposal but the originals include proprietary fonts and oversized photos that might break conversion. Should we embed fonts, substitute system fonts, or downsample images? For each choice, explain impact on fidelity, file size, and whether the regulator will accept it. Recommend the conversion approach that minimizes follow-up questions from the regulator and how to document the conversion. Ladder [ladder=L5]

The real tasks

We need to supply standardized PDF copies to a regulator but some source files have odd fonts and large images.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Acrobat — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
