Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat Reference

Use this subskill for PDF creation, editing, review, signing, security, JavaScript automation, and PDF Services API work.

Workflow

1. Identify the surface the task touches (desktop/web help, UXP, ExtendScript, REST API, C++ SDK, samples).
2. Use the task router below or references/INDEX.md to open the one file that matches.
3. Treat every label, menu path, shortcut, API/method/object name, endpoint, enum value, and number as an exact reference fact.

Task router

Load only the reference the task needs. Files are grouped by surface.
