What our customer's say!

"Get Up To Speed Quickly and Easily", 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, 528-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.


"Beginner", 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.
