Acrobat DC - Advanced

Course description

Overview:

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics of any source document. Anyone using the free Acrobat Reader can view, navigate, comment on, and print a PDF file. Designers, web developers, and print professionals will all find value in Adobe Acrobat DC training. While each audience can find features in Acrobat DC of specific interest, they are all increasingly interested in delivering content both digitally and in print, and PDF is the most convenient format for both of these worlds. From easy client review to near-foolproof print production and web distribution and many steps in between Acrobat DC can boost your productivity and help you achieve better results. In the Acrobat DC Training Advanced course, you will master the concepts and features of Adobe Acrobat DC, including:
