Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide uses a combination of task-based instruction and strong visuals to teach beginning and intermediate users how to be more productive with Adobe Acrobat. Author John Deubert takes readers step by step through all of the Adobe Acrobat 8 essentials, both basic--creating and viewing electronic documents, streamlining document reviews, using Acrobat's commenting and reviewing tools--and advanced--using digital signatures, creating interactive forms, and protecting sensitive documents. Both beginning users who want a thorough introduction to the topic, and more advanced users looking for a convenient reference will find what they need here in straightforward language, clear steps, and practical tips. By the end of the book, users will be able to smoothly integrate Adobe Acrobat 8 into their workflow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, September 16, 2007

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
Going from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat 8 was much easier with this book. I have bought books from Peachpit press before and their structure is easy to follow. Even for just looking up what you need, it is easy to get it then get out. I would recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good As It Gets, October 5, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
My instructor recommended the Quick Start series as the best option, and she is right. I find the Adobe Acrobat 8 Quick Start guide to be every bit as comprehensive as the manufacturer's user guides. If you can hold back and wait for the Illustrator CS3 Quick Start guide, which will not be available until next month, I recommend that you do. I had to buy Real World Illustrator CS3 Industrial Strength Production Techniques, because I had a project immediately due, and find that while the guide is beautifully produced with many color pages, its size is unwieldy. The Quick Start series gives you everything you need to learn the basics and more in a compact format.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start for version 8, April 20, 2008
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
Excellent beginner to intermediate level user of Acrobat adapting to version 8 Standard. Sets up good groundwork for understanding version 8 Professional and LiveCycle Designer. Adobe is probably going to be the premier documentation program in the coming years due to its versatility and interactive features; if you haven't already done so, I would recommend getting a background in it using this book.
