ACR9FT - Adobe Acrobat 9: Fast Track
Through a three-day series of lessons, each building on the last, students will experience all of Acrobat 9's regular and industrial-strength features for creating, reviewing, editing, commenting on, modifying, and preflighting PDF files.
Students will explore the new PDF Portfolio feature that lets users bring multiple files together in a single interactive PDF portfolio. They will also utilize a dramatically overhauled form creation tool; a streamlined, interactive document review process; synchronized document views; powerful redaction tools, and more. This course investigates 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.
