5.0 out of 5 stars
Required if you use Acrobat 6!,
By joebarb@swbell.net (Missouri - United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6: The Professional User's Guide (Paperback)
Whether you are new to Acrobat 6 or are a seasoned PDF professional, this book is a must-have! There is a great balance of technical information, screen shots, tutorials, exercises, charts and even a bit of humor that make this an enjoyable & educational read. I've read it cover-to-cover, but this book can also be used as a quick reference for a specific problem or topic (which I still continue to do for various PDF related projects). The "Note" and "Tips" sidebars are especially helpful as are the chapters on Collaboration, Indexing and Security. This book also revealed many unknown features of Acrobat and explained these thoroughly. Bottom line: if you do more than open up PDF files, then get this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Mac users,
By Lynn A Stoecklein (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6: The Professional User's Guide (Paperback)
There seems to be little or no reference to the Mac. A program like Acrobat is a staple in the graphics and publishing industry, as is the Mac. Keep your whole audience in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a real gem,
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 6: The Professional User's Guide (Paperback)
This users guide is full of "real-world" tips and advice. I found the hands-on tutorials and projects to be particularly useful. With a friendly conversational tone and easy to understand language, all the major aspects of Acrobat 6 are covered. I will use this book for a handy and valuable reference.
