Not a Classroom in a book. More like a presentation. - 2007-01-24
Reviewer Rating:
This book is not about creating PDF documents from scratch. It is about converting an already existing document into a PDF file. It focuses on converting Microsoft Office files (Windows) to PDF, converting Microsoft Office files (MAC) to PDF, converting other files to PDF, converting paper forms to PDF, etc. It also focuses on how to combine multiple forms into a single document.

It presents simple views for addressing tasks and does not go into much detail. It shows one way of doing things and does not cover any exceptions or problems a user might encounter.

The three pages in the book on capturing data and handling it after is primitive and not useful instruction.

It does not show how to create a document from scratch. The chapter on using the Designer is only 50 pages and is also a high level view.

Good book, but not at all if you prepare for the exam - 2005-12-30

The book was overall a good book with all what you need to know about Adobe Acrobat. I am preparing for the exam and the book does not cover 75% of the test. Unfortunately Adobe did not think of this and decided to make it very hard for us. Microsoft on the other hand has many books that cover the topics for their exams. Wish Adobe would learn that one thing from them....

Good book for beginners - 2005-08-29

I found the tutorials easy to use and thought they taught how to use Acrobat very well. Some items may get repetitive if you have purchased other CS2 books, but I recommend it for anyone that purchases Adobe Acrobat CS2.

Very nice book - 2006-02-28

It is a comprehensive step by step book. I liked the fact that it also included alternative instructions for the instances when a Mac would have different commands.
