Overview of Adobe Acrobat 7
Remember back in Fluids when the professor spent half a class deriving an equation? Remember how you
kept saying to yourself “Just give me the equation, tell me when it works, and any problems I might run
into.”?
We are going to teach Acrobat the way you wanted Fluids taught. Acrobat is used by many different
professionals for many different purposes. We are only going to teach you about one-half of Acrobat and
when to use that one-half.
Acrobat allows you to personalize the program's layout according to your working style.
