Perfect Accompanyment to Acrobat 8
19 July 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Acrobat is pretty straight-forward software. There are certain tasks you want to accomplish with it, and they're not the kinds of things you want to devote unlimited hours to.
Baker understands this and has taken the perfect approach with her book. She takes 125 of the most common tasks Acrobat can perform and devotes several pages to each. She's identified the tasks with the greatest common interest and explains how to do each one clearly and concisely.
For heavy-duty Acrobat users, it saves you time from searching out how to do that one task you know Acrobat does, but can't easily find explanations for. For new - or very occasional - users of Acrobat, it highlights some of the capabilities you might not have been aware of, but will likely find useful.
Acrobat is incredibly powerful software that provides a 'better way' for doing many things. Great to have a book that identifies those many things and clearly explains how to do them.

Enables me to use Adobe 8!
29 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
I found the software to be somewhat un-user-friendly. This book clearly and concisely took me through some of the basic questions I had regarding utilizing and setting up documents. It is very basic so if you're looking for something with advanced techniques, this isn't it. Over all I found it quite helpful.

Not a book for novices
27 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
As a casual user, I had hoped this book would give me an insight into the capabilities of Acrobat, and the procedures needed to execute them.
But I think the book is aimed at advanced users who already know the program, and appreciate its features, and simply need a reference to recall some of the more complicated lesser used options.
I found the explanations cumbersome and difficult to follow. There are few if any, examples of how a feature would be used in the day to day routine of business.
