Acrobat Training

Adobe Acrobat creates PDF (portable document format) documents. PDF documents allow users to collaborate when they do not have the programs or fonts used by the author of a document. The program also allows the author to protect and secure the content of the PDF. A common use of Acrobat is to create fillable PDF forms that can be collected and summarized. Where most courses require two days of training, we summarize all the features in a single day of class! Students receive the Adobe Acrobat Classroom in a Book.
