Acrobat 9: You Might Need an Acrobat Class, The Sequel

by David R. Mankin, the Acrobat Czar

The Czar! My first "You might need an Acrobat class" column went viral on Twitter. I had so much fun writing it and seeing it tweeted and re-tweeted, I decided to come up with a second installment. Enjoy–and please do sign up for an Acrobat class if this strikes a tone of reality to you. Acrobat is feature-rich, and more people need to know of the flexibility and depth that the PDF file format offers.
