About this class
Our Adobe Acrobat course uses the latest version, but if you haven't upgraded yet, the course features work from earlier versions of acrobat as well.
This two-day, instructor-led course is the most thorough and comprehensive way for you to learn how to reliably create, edit, share, and sign PDF documents and forms with Adobe Acrobat DC. Each of the lessons contains a project that builds on your growing knowledge of the program, while end-of-lesson review questions reinforce what has been taught. This cross-platform (Mac and Windows) course shows you how to collaborate effectively through electronic reviews, easily work with PDFs across multiple platforms and devices (including via the Adobe Document Cloud service), and speed up your production and business task workflows with Acrobat DC.
You will learn how to easily convert files from any application to PDF and how to directly edit text and images in PDF documents. You'll also learn how to build PDF forms, and to speed up business workflow by gathering feedback and approval using new shared document review features. And you'?ll learn how to create interactive forms and track responses within Acrobat, add signatures and security to PDF files, work with companion Acrobat apps, and much more
