Customer Reviews

The "Visual QuickStart" books benefit experienced user most

The "Visual Quickstart" books (like this one) are great for users and developers that are already using the software and need a cookbook of helper hints to get the little annoying tasks done that you just can't seem to figure out on your own. It's a great series of books!This book in particular is great for users and developers of PDF documents that are definitely experienced in using the Acrobat 4.0 product, but just need a little help to get some of the tedious and quirky tasks done. The first time user may benefit, but will be lost in the book until they start interacting with the software on their own.I am a software developer and I have a whole set of the "visual quickstart" guides on my shelf. I use at least one of them everyday. A definite buy for software developers!

All you need to create PDFs

This took the mystery about creating PDFs away from me. It is well organized and provided step-by-step examples that have allowed me to use PDF at work effectively.

The best way to start using PDF and Acrobat

You won't find a better introduction to creating PDF documents with Acrobat than this book. It is organised in a manner than slowly builds on what you've learned, until you're able to create, edit, and manipulate PDF documents with ease.Detailed instructions, quick to-the-point step-by-step lessons, and more make this the perfect way to get started with Acrobat.

Well written, Well orgnized...

When I purchased Acrobat 4, I was disappointed to find that it came with an "on-screen" manual. Not the most useful medium for trying to learn such a program. Feeling the need for a real book, I bought Mr. Alspach's manual and found it far superior to the materials provided by Adobe. It is simply and clearly written from the VERY basics to more sophisticated uses of Acrobat 4. Thanks, Mr. Alspach and Peachpit Press, for another book well done!

Quick and straight forward description of the key features

This book helps you to get known to Adobe Acrobat 4.0's features in no time. It could actually explain the menus a little bit more detailed and tell more about the differences between the Macintosh and Windows version but in general I would say the book is a good buy for those who want to learn the key features of the software in no time.
