Customer Reviews

THE book to buy on Acrobat 5
Very useful reference for anyone learning Acrobat 5. A bit verbose at times.

Another (sorely) deficient computer book
Pages are filled with cutesy commentary unrelated to the subject matter at hand, and subject matter (when the author finally gets around to it) is replete with vague and undefined references that beg instead of answering questions necessary to make the material useful. Don't buy this book expecting to get well thought out, helpful instruction, if you do you will be disappointed.

Acrobat 5 -- now I understand it.
In my consulting business the use of Aadobe Acrobat is required. But I never really understood it.

Donna Baker's Adobe Aacrobat 5: The Professional User's Guide made it very understandable. She has done a very good job, it is a easy read, and what is stated works.

Thanks,

Harvey
