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.

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.

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.
