Adobe Acrobat Training

This one-day Adobe Acrobat training course helps users to understand and apply the power of Adobe Acrobat for creation, management, searching, distribution and archiving of electronic documents.

Beyond Acrobat Reader...

For a lot of people, their experience of Adobe Acrobat is installing Acrobat Reader in order to view PDFs that have been e-mailed to them or downloaded from the web.

Those who own Acrobat Professional (or Acrobat Writer, as its often referred to) often have it as a result of purchasing one of the Adobe Creative Suite packages - but don't get beyond basic text edits.

PDF is still the most universally accepted soft-copy document format, and today - Adobe Acrobat is an incredibly powerful document creation and management tool, allowing you to create PDFs from a wider range of media than ever before (including Video!).

It also has tools allowing changes to be tracked, user response forms to be added and complex portfolios to be built up.

If you want to be able to create stylish, dynamic documents that are truly universal across a range of platforms and devices, taking a day out to attend this 1-day Acrobat course could save you many hours in the future!

We also provide private and in-company Adobe Acrobat courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
