Chapter ONE. Getting Started

Adobe Acrobat has become a workhorse program. Whether you are a graphic designer or a Web designer, whether you work with business systems or run a small office, Acrobat can assist you in a wide range of tasks, and it handles information and content in mind-boggling ways.

Acrobat isn't like “ordinary” software in that you can't define its purpose in a single word as you can with a spreadsheet, word processing, or image-manipulation program. It's not that simple.
