But did you know that you can increase your efficiency and productivity even further by mastering some of the most practical keyboard shortcuts?
Keyboard shortcuts are more than just a quick way to execute commands. They are an important key to a smoother, more efficient workflow. By using these shortcuts, you can use the mouse less often, which in turn reduces the time you spend navigating menus and selecting options. This saves valuable seconds that can add up to hours over the course of a working day.
In addition, keyboard shortcuts help you stay focused. Instead of having to keep switching between keyboard and mouse, the shortcuts allow you to keep your hands in one place and concentrate fully on your work. This is particularly useful if you are working on large documents or if you have to meet tight deadlines.
In the following sections, we present a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. These shortcuts cover a variety of functions - from navigation and document editing to commenting and reviewing. While you don't need to memorize every single shortcut, knowing the most important combinations will speed up your workflow considerably.
