Adobe Acrobat Introduction

Most of us are familiar with reading PDF documents using the free Adobe Reader, but Acrobat allows you to create, manage, organise and manipulate PDF files.

Learn the best ways to use this incredibly versatile, but largely misunderstood application. Create PDF documents from multiple sources before combining, modifying, collaborating and adding bookmarks, plus a whole lot more.

This is an introductory level course.

What you get

• Class size kept to a maximum of 6 participants.
• Qualified, experienced and approachable facilitators.
• Training materials and take away practice files.
• Lifetime post course support.

We encourage you to bring along your own laptop so you are familiar with its layout and functionality. If you do not have a laptop, we can supply one on the training day
