Easy read, By
This review is from: Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
Going from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat 8 was much easier with this book. I have bought books from Peachpit press before and their structure is easy to follow. Even for just looking up what you need, it is easy to get it then get out. I would recommend this book to anyone.

My instructor recommended the Quick Start series as the best option, and she is right. I find the Adobe Acrobat 8 Quick Start guide to be every bit as comprehensive as the manufacturer's user guides. If you can hold back and wait for the Illustrator CS3 Quick Start guide, which will not be available until next month, I recommend that you do. I had to buy Real World Illustrator CS3 Industrial Strength Production Techniques, because I had a project immediately due, and find that while the guide is beautifully produced with many color pages, its size is unwieldy. The Quick Start series gives you everything you need to learn the basics and more in a compact format.

For anyone with no or almost no knowledge of this software package this book provides a very good but basic introduction to the features of the program. The book provides a very good introduction to how to perform basic functions such as editing, converting to and from various formats, etc. as well as some intermediary level activities such as creating "slideshow" style presentations. In addition, the book can serve as a good and quick reference for beginners as it can quickly show how to perform a function that may have been forgotten. All and all a four star book for the beginner.However, for anyone over and above that stage the book's value is very limited. For one, the book is quite rudimentary. The overwhelming majority of what is discussed in the book is something that anyone using Acrobat 8, at a significant level on a daily basis, would know. Plus, as its reference value for such an...
