Synopsis

We've all been there: You receive a document from someone but can't open it because the sender created it on a PC and you use a Mac. Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) was designed to alleviate that frustration, and it's quickly become the cross-platform standard. If you need to send and receive documents without losing any of the formatting, you need PDF with Acrobat 4: Visual QuickStart Guide.

This edition covers all the latest Acrobat features--including the new annotation and document-management tools--in the popular Visual QuickStart Guide style. That means concise, step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots and helpful tips. If you're new to the program, you can start with such basic topics as creating and editing PDF files, while veterans can use the handy tabbed format to page straight to more advanced sections, such as using PDFs on the Web.
