Book Reviews of Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
The first pages introduce the reader to PDF. What is PDF; how does one create PDFs; what are the applications of PDFs? For example, one could convert Outlook mail to PDF for backup or publish HR Employee Handbooks to PDF and save on paper. What is this part of the workspace called? And that? What is the Taskbar; the Toolbar; and all those buttons? What are the PDF design considerations for screen viewing versus the printing press versus web publishing?
The remaining 14 chapters introduce and explain topics via the lessons on the CD. Each chapter concludes with review questions and answers to wake those who may have been reading this book as an Agatha Christie fiction.

This book covers Adobe Acrobat Standard, Professional, and Extended for Mac OS and Windows, but only Acrobat 9 Pro runs on OS X. The following are not available on OS X:
a) Use QuickBooks data in forms (Windows English only) - Import and export Intuit QuickBooks data using custom templates.
b) LiveCycle Designer ES is not part of the Adobe Acrobat family and so is not covered here, but is bundled in Acrobat Pro and Extended because it far exceeds the features of Acrobat's integrated AcroForms and is the application of choice for advanced forms designers.
There is little here for those seeking Acrobat certification except to acquaint with new and enhanced features of Acrobat 9, which can be learned from Adobe's website. It is well-edited for proper spelling and grammar, which is always welcome for IT books, and the layout is lively and easy to follow, as expected from Adobe. A good book for beginners.

Readers who are already familiar with the basics of using Acrobat will get up to speed on significantly overhauled new features available in Acrobat 9.Acrobat 9 Pro offers a new PDF Portfolio feature that lets users bring multiple files together in a single interactive PDF portfolio. Acrobat 9 Pro also offers users a dramatically overhauled form creation tool; a streamlined, interactive document review process; synchronized document views; powerful redaction tools, and more.Acrobat Pro Extended (formerly Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8) offers Windows users added functionality, such as new 3D capabilities, PDF mapping features, video conversion tools, native support for Flash technology (so users can include video, animations, and applications in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader PDF files), and Adobe Presenter, which lets users create interactive presentations with PowerPoint and then publish them to PDF.
