Book Reviews of Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Get Up To Speed Quickly and Easily
Summary: 5 Stars
By now, almost everyone who uses a computer is familiar with the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. This series is the gold standard of instructional books for Adobe products and always the best place to begin when you are learning the new features of an Adobe product or getting up to speed on an upgrade.
Adobe Acrobat 9, Classroom in a Book covers the Standard, Pro and Pro Extended versions. Adobe claims Acrobat 9 is 200-400 times faster than previous versions. That's a bit difficult to digest, but the book is the same old speed. You know, the speed that your old noggin is running on any particular day.
I am a long-time and enthusiastic Acrobat user and I love the Classroom in a Book series because it is a quick and efficient way to get up to speed on new features and Acrobat 9 has plenty of those. It's also a marvelous way to review any feature that you might be a little rusty on. Most of us use software within certain parameters of our jobs and we're really good at those. The rub comes when you have to come up with something new and unfamiliar. Enter Classroom in a Book. Pull it off the shelf, find the skill you want to learn, insert the lesson CD that comes with the book and follow along. In no time, you'll be ready to competently and confidently start your own project.
An area of great interest to me is pulling together a multimedia promotional portfolio. Covered on page 96 of this ten-chapter, 368-page book, I pulled up the Chapter 5 Aquo_Fin file and followed the instructions. It's very handy to use the same files to follow the lesson. I found it to be very helpful and PDF Portfolio is a feature I now use often.
You can't go wrong with the Classroom in a Book series. The quicker you can get yourself up to speed on an application, the happier and more productive you'll be. "Adobe Acrobat 9, Classroom in a Book" should be your first stop on your way to fully utilizing your software.

Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent tutorial. It allows the use to use the tools presented in an example provided on a CD. Unfortunately, it does not include any information on Acrobat Presenter that is delivered with Acrobat Pro 9 Extended.
