5.0 out of 5 stars I got help when I needed it. . ., May 10, 2008

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Adobe Acrobat 8 (Paperback)

I leaned on this book to help me punch out a PDF format of my book manuscript. Knowing Adobe products often equal advanced knowledge to get you where you want to be, I knew I'd need a straightforward reference book to get the job done. Between "How to Do Everything" and tips from the publishing website, I was able to turn in a polished PDF version of my manuscript to send to print in an afternoon's work. Considering I knew nothing about the software beforehand, I felt good about the outcome.

This book is great for someone who has never used Adobe before. However, all of the information in the book is contained in the help files that come with adobe. There is no new information in this book.
