Adobe Acrobat Level 1

Why you should attend: You have probably created documents using word processing and other office productivity applications, and have shared those documents with others, such as colleagues, clients, and reviewers. You've most likely shared printed copies of your documents with others, and may have shared documents electronically be emailing them as well. Now you may need to share electronic versions of your documents with others in a format that will allow them to view, print, and even review the content even if they don't have the original software you used to create the file. In this course, you'll use Adobe Acrobat  9.0 to convert documents to PDF files, and will customize those PDF files for your needs and the needs of your audience. (Outline Subject to Change)
