New Book -- Carl Young’s Adobe Acrobat 6.0: Getting Professional Results from your PDFs

How to fix the most common PDF mistakes - Tips & Techniques - PDF Zone

I don't normally pitch publications or software, but this looks like a new book that would be valuable to many of our readers, and the teaser is interesting--

The author, who is associated with the PDF Conference seminars, says:

“Students come into class with Acrobat issues, and 90% are ‘driving errors’ that can be easily avoided with a little information, Young says. “Students often come into class with a beef about Acrobat, and I have to gently point out that the errors they are experiencing are the result of faulty creation techniques. By the end of class I can see the light come on in the students’ heads, and they leave feeling a lot better about using Acrobat.”

That sounds like something I could use . . .

1. Can’t navigate around a long PDF, except using page down and up? Chances are you have a “Lost In Space” PDF. The fix? Add bookmarks and hyperlinks.

2. Is your 10-page PDF destined for simple onscreen viewing larger than 1MB? That would be a “Fat Albert” PDF. The fix? Downsize fat graphics.

Etc.

I've read a number of things by Shlomo Perets, who was the technical advisor to the author, and he (Perets) is clearly a Master.

There is always a cornucopia of PDF delights on the PDFzone.com site.
