Adobe unveils improved Adobe Scan app, new Office 365 integrations
Adobe today announced a slew of updates and integrations across Adobe Document Cloud, its suite of cloud-based apps for converting and processing PDFs. The company's free document scanning app for Android and iOS, Adobe Scan, is getting some improvements thanks to machine learning. Adobe Sign, its electronic signature service, is now deeply integrated with Microsoft Dynamics and offers access to LinkedIn customer details, plus a self-service tool for fielding GDPR requests. And starting this week, enterprise and team Acrobat DC users who subscribe to Office 365 can create PDFs from the ribbon menu in the web-based versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
[...] In September 2017, Microsoft partnered with Adobe to make Adobe Sign the "preferred e-signature solution" for its customers. Expanding on that collaboration, Sign and Adobe PDF are gaining new integrations with Microsoft Dynamics and Office 365.
Specifically, Microsoft Dynamics customers can now pull customer data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator and embed Adobe Sign into Dynamics workflows. In addition, Adobe Sign has been granted authorization from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), an assessment and authorization program to which U.S. federal agencies must adhere, and includes a privacy administrator role that includes the aforementioned GDPR request tool.
On the Office 365 side of things, new shortcuts in the ribbon of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint web apps allow you to convert documents into PDFs with optional password protection. Adobe PDF archiving, conversion, and distribution tools are also now available from within OneDrive and SharePoint.

Because my livelihood depends on it is WHY I use LO. MS Office has caused too many problems. I started with Star Office years ago and haven't looked back.
I have clients I bail out on a weekly basis due to Office 365's updates that hose their installations and Win 10 is a guaranteed money maker for me the day after path Tuesday as I make the rounds fixing the resultant mess.
Fortunately people are starting to get it and are slowly migrating to LibreOffice and Mint.

Oh but you will here the wail: Won't somebody please think of my corner case
And they invariably come up with some horrible contraption of a spread sheet that doesn't work under LO.
They will invariable have a spread sheet chock full of VB and crazy shit because they didn't know what they were doing, and Carlos from Accounting said this was the way to go.
There's always one of these guys in every office.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
