Great Learning Curve

I'm just learning Acrobate 7.0 from scratch, although I have a broad background in other applications. This manual has made the leasrning curve much faster, and with less headache. I've been able to find all the answers to my questions.

Has info. not available elsewhere.

I got this book for my brother, who just bought Acrobat 7 Professional to create fillable forms with special functions. He tried and tried to do what he wanted, but until I gave him this book, he wasn't able to figure out how to do what he wanted to. This book had the specific information that taught him how to do what he wanted. I was amazed, because he even downloaded a huge amount of information from Adobe's Web site in his search for the right info. and couldn't get what he needed. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to do more than just the basics in Adobe Acrobat 7.

easy to read

I've used Acrobat since Version 5, but hadn't looked into all the features of the software. After upgrading to Version 7, I decided to maximize my software investment and read up a bit. Being familiar with the "How to Do Everything" titles, and hearing good reviews about the previous version of this book, this book was the obvious choice for me! In just the first few chapters, it's possible to get a firm grasp of what one can do with the software. The author does an excellent job of explaining Acrobat's features. It's now simple to create sophisticated PDF documents that enable me to share information with my clients more easily than before. Also, adding interactivity to my PDF documents makes it easier for my audience to quickly navigate to the desired part of the document. If you're new to Acrobat, or looking to increase your knowledge, this is the book for you. It's easy to read, and the information is presented in a logical manner.

A Life Saver

I am doing a presentation on e-portfolios in Acrobat next week. I have version 7 and I really wasn't comfortable with all the fine details. This book has been a lifesaver. I got the Bible (a lot of useless information; no meat)and the Classroom in a Book (waste of time). This book was so easy to read and understand. I would have felt like a fool at this presentation had I not read it. I work at a college in NJ and I am recommending this book as the textbook for the e-portfolio center. I had another book by this guy and it was pretty good which is how I happened upon it. One thing though; who designed the cover of the book? Talk about hokey. Don't consider the cover a reflection of the contents which is great!

Great way to get up to speed fast!

This manual will get you up and running using Acrobat 7 very quickly. I had no idea Acrobat did so many things! I had a presentation to do and in Acrobat I made a "PowerPoint" like slideshow and embedded my Camtasia movies. As a result, at the end of the presentation, before I even left the room I received 4 referrals for work (which I closed on). The book more than paid for itself!! I highly recommend this information, through and easy to use book for anyone who wants to tap into the awesome power of Acrobat 7.
