From the Back Cover
We've all been there. You receive a document in email that won't print correctly because it was created with fonts not installed on your system, or the file is a QuarkXPress document and you use PageMaker. Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) was designed to alleviate that frustration, and it's quickly become the cross-platform standard. If you need to send, annotate, and receive documents that retain fidelity to their formatting, you need PDF with Acrobat 5: Visual QuickStart Guide. Author Jen Alspach takes a task-based, visual approach to teaching Acrobat, using pictures to guide readers through the basics of creating PDF files with Acrobat 5, adding annotations, creating forms, viewing PDFs online, and using Acrobat with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Acrobat 5.0's new features, including digital signatures, batch processing, customizable toolbars, and increased security options are also explained throughout this book.

The best Adobe Acrobat book for beginners
19 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
I give workshops on Adobe Acrobat to university faculty and staff, and I'm always asked for recommendations for a book on the topic. As far as I'm concerned, this is the ONLY book for beginning and intermediate Acrobat users. Adobe's Classroom in a Book, which could have been such a good idea, is riddled with errors (including errors on the CD that were there in the version 4 book), not very well written, and costs more than twice as much.
Jennifer Alspach has done a great job of taking a difficult, complex subject and making it interesting (and even fun, occasionally). The organization of the book is just right, and the topics are thoroughly covered. As an author, I also appreciate the nice layout and design and the high production quality from Peachpit Press. This is a must-have book if you are interested in Acrobat!

PDF with Acrobat 5: Visual Quick Start Guide
21 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I teach Acrobat 5.0. I furnish 2 books to students (this book and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 Classroom in a Book). Once you understand the many uses of Acrobat, this book shows you how to perform the most frequently used tasks through step by step screenshots. It is the reference that should be on every users desk. After you have mastered these books, step up to Adobe Acrobat 5 PDF Bible by Ted Padova.
Adobe Acrobat is the tool that can take us to the paperless society. These books are your roadmap. May your journey be fun!

Fast overview
28 May 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found the book a rapid and easy way to get a whole survey of all features of Arobat. When completed, I knew of features I had no idea were there, and was surprised with many "that's cool" features. Now when I have a future need, I will recall it from reading the book, and use it for reference to learn it in depth on a real application. So, if you are looking for a complete survey you can complete in less that two days, this book is quite good for that purpose.
