5.0 out of 5 stars If you must only have one Acrobat 6 resource, make it this!, July 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6.0: Getting Professional Results from Your PDFs (Paperback)
Every graphic designer should own this book! Designers constantly send PDFs
that are waaaaay to big, or have missing fonts to my small marketing/pr
firm. I may buy copies for every designer I work with.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Guide to Acrobat 6.0, July 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6.0: Getting Professional Results from Your PDFs (Paperback)
Unlike many books in this category, Carl Young's book is not a rewrite of the Acrobat Help file. He lays out the most common mistakes creators of PDFs make, and then provides step-by-step solutions. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best PDF Book I've Seen, July 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6.0: Getting Professional Results from Your PDFs (Paperback)
I'm one of those people who buys every software book on the market. I've looked at lots of books on PDF. This is the best yet. It's practical and tells me how to avoid making the most common mistakes in creating a PDF. I wish the rest of my colleagues would read this.
