I've learned a lot of what I needed to use my adobe program on my laptop. I'm attempting to write a puzzle book and a newsletter, so I really needed yto better understand adobe pdf's.

Great information about using Adobe effectively. I work with the program extensively every day and have already learned some great time-saving tips and techniques. Looking forward to the rest of the class.

I had started working on a different training and it didn't really tie everything to actual results in PDF (eg. spent a lot of time on tool bar management, but not necessarily what the different buttons did)

El curso es una muy buena elección pero debe haber sido en español, ya que no es lo mismo escucharlo en ingles y leer en español. Se pierde mucho tiempo entre una cosa y otra. Tendré que repasar nuevamente para poder realizar las practicas y sacar el mayor provecho a ACROBAT PRO.

The knowledge and information shared were very useful. I use Adobe PDF in my daily tasks. I am amazed at the tools inside the PDF that help to boost my daily productivity.

Superbly narrated course. It is not in depth but it covers all the essentials to get your started using Adobe Acrobat with confidence. You feel so confident listening to David that he knows what he is talking about. Very skilled presenter. Thank you for creating this great course.
By Anonymized User on 7/8/2024
I had a different version of Acrobat Pro DC so many of the icons were in different spots, just a little hard to follow as he was talking so ended up listening twice to some modules.

Everything for this section was explained very directly; to the point and clearly spoken in laymen's terms to understand easily. I can't wait to learn about the Graphic Element and Creating Forms. If I could rate you higher, I would. Thank you.
By Kelly Jarrell on 5/23/2023
This was a great introductory class to Acrobat that has helped me in my new job at a law office. Very easy to understand and follow. The only suggestion I would make would be for the instructor to very clearly state what exercise file he is using (and wants the learner to use) at the beginning of each video.
By Deanna Unser on 4/12/2023
I found the trainer very good, however for the redact section he didn't go through the properties function, which is a large part of my current position. Additionally I would have liked him to use more keyboard/mouse shortcuts to make navigation through Adobe quicker.
