5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest way to learn how to use Adobe Acrobat, September 26, 2003

By	Wild Man (Lutherville, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for the best way to learn how to use Adobe Acrobat, then this book is for you. Classroom in a Book guides you step by step, screen by screen through all of the essentials needed to effectively use this outstanding piece of software. A large number of examples are included on the companion CD. The author uses these files to give the reader practical experience using Acrobat. Buy this book. It is money well spent.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dense and frustrating, by design, September 18, 2007

By	Jonathan Sachs - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is well-written and accurate, but it follows the instruction-by-example philosophy: to accomplish this task, open such-and-such an example file, then (1) select this tool, (2) click yonder icon, (3) run that menu command, and so forth. It carefully avoids explaining the concepts behind the operations, leaving the poor reader to deduce them (or, too often, guess at them). This approach makes everything five times harder to absorb than it ought to be.

I found that I could often learn most effectively by glancing over a lesson to grasp its overall object, then figuring out the procedure on my own. It's pretty sad when an instructional book impedes the learning process to this extent instead of enabling it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adobe Acrobat 6 Standard classroom in a Book is Very Good, September 13, 2009

By	Larry Gleason (Hoffman Estates, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard Classroom in a Book is very Good.
It describes exactly how to accomplish basic operation clearly.
Acrobat in common with other Adobe Products uses some non intuitive ways to get at
basics. This book shows the "Adobe Way"
