Details of the content

The good old PDF format: everyone knows and uses it - probably almost every day. But who makes full use of the possibilities when editing PDF files? If changes need to be made to a PDF, it often makes more sense to edit the existing PDF file than to export a new one via InDesign. The PDF format also offers potential for interactivity that many users have not yet fully exploited.

In the Acrobat training - Basics & Tricks you will learn in over 9 hours how to get the most out of your created PDFs! Create interactive, accessible and/or print-safe documents, edit existing PDF files and use numerous automation tools to speed up your workflow. We encounter PDFs almost every day!
