I hate to give a bad review, but this book is not all that it's cracked up to be! I bought it because the jacket said that it had all the information about pdf that I needed - "regardless of platform, software, or media." I realize that, as a Windows user, I am probably not the average pdf-user, but come on! When I needed to, I couldn't find anything in the index, and when I finally stumbled across the information I wanted, it was all for the Macintosh platform! Let me tell you, the Mac and Windows versions of Acrobat are NOT the same (unlike other Adobe products).
I'm sure that if I were a Mac user, I'd be thrilled with this book. Unfortunately, the parts of the Windows instructions that are left out are so big that I'm writing step-by-step instructions in the margins as I figure them out myself! Anyway, if you're a Windows user, be forewarned - this book seems to be aimed at Mac users and often the examples and instructions bear no resemblance to the Windows environment.
