Product Description
No Acrobat user can afford to miss a beat in his or her production and business task workflow--which makes mastering new versions of key tools like Acrobat a problem. Realizing that the users Acrobat 9 is designed for--creative professionals, business users, and technical professionals -- aren't going to interrupt their work schedules to take a class in the software, Adobe has brought the classroom to them in this handy, comprehensive book. Through a series of self-paced lessons (each of which builds on the last and includes hands-on projects that the reader can create using the files on the CD-ROM), this guide acquaints users with all of Acrobat's regular and industrial-strength features for creating, reviewing, editing, commenting on, modifying, and preflighting PDF files. Readers who are already familiar with the basics of using Acrobat will get up to speed on significantly overhauled new features available in Acrobat 9.
Acrobat 9 Pro offers a new PDF Portfolio feature that lets users bring multiple files together in a single interactive PDF portfolio. Acrobat 9 Pro also offers users a dramatically overhauled form creation tool; a streamlined, interactive document review process; synchronized document views; powerful redaction tools, and more.Acrobat Pro Extended (formerly Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8) offers Windows users added functionality, such as new 3D capabilities, PDF mapping features, video conversion tools, native support for Flash technology (so users can include video, animations, and applications in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader PDF files), and Adobe Presenter, which lets users create interactive presentations with PowerPoint and then publish them to PDF.

Expensive and Disappointing,
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I've now used Acrobat for a number of years and have, for the most part, been able to figure out what I needed to do. I recently bought a new scanner (which is not yet available on Amazon) and have come across several problems while converting documents to .pdf files. Due to these matters, I thought I'd finally spend the money to buy this book to fully learn all of Acrobat (I have Acrobat 9 Pro) features. To say that I'm disappointed in this grossly overpriced book is an understatement. Much of the book is devoted to materials that do not need to be dealt with (as they're so basic) or on flashy (no pun intended) elements, such as 3-D animations and other not-so-important features that I suspect most users could care less about.To make matters even worse, the book instructs readers to examine the help files that come with Acrobat for information (if these help files were useful, I wouldn't have needed to buy this or other books). Then there's the problem that some features... Read more

Beginner,
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
The first pages introduce the reader to PDF. What is PDF; how does one create PDFs; what are the applications of PDFs? For example, one could convert Outlook mail to PDF for backup or publish HR Employee Handbooks to PDF and save on paper. What is this part of the workspace called? And that? What is the Taskbar; the Toolbar; and all those buttons? What are the PDF design considerations for screen viewing versus the printing press versus web publishing?The remaining 14 chapters introduce and explain topics via the lessons on the CD. Each chapter concludes with review questions and answers to wake those who may have been reading this book as an Agatha Christie fiction. TABLE OF CONTENTS -------------------- Getting Started 1. Introducing Adobe Acrobat 9 2. Looking at the Work Area 3. Creating Adobe PDF Files 4. Creating Adobe PDF from Microsoft Office Files (Windows Only) 5. Combining Files in PDF Portfolios 6...

Great book to learn how to create PDFs from documents, photos, and the web., By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I run a small internet based sales business. I needed a way to convert images and text into PDF files so that I could share more info easier and faster and also have some security over what I decided to email out to customers or post to my web site. Since I sell photographs and information I wanted to promote those items, not give them away. So I bought Adobe Acrobat 9 from Adobe, then ordered the Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book from Amazon which arrived in a few days after I ordered it.I have a background in professional training. I found the book to be orderly and very easy to read and comprehend. If you do exactly what it says to do, START AT THE BEGINNING, and do a lesson at a time it walks you right through the process of creating and converting and combining documents into PDFs. Chapters 1-8 were the meat of the training that I needed. Chapters 9-15 are extra gravy. Having used the product now for about a month I'm pretty fluent in creating PDFs from... Read more |
