For Arnie.

Adobe Acrobat X PDF Bible is written for a cross-platform audience. Users of Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2, Windows XP Professional or Home Edition, Windows Vista Professional and Home Edition, Windows 7, Tablet PC Edition, and Apple Macintosh computers running OS X v10.2.8, 10.3, 10.5 and later will find references to these operating systems.

About This Book

Most of the chapters in this book include screenshots from Acrobat running under Windows. The user interface is closely matched between Windows and the Macintosh; therefore, Macintosh users will find the same options in dialog boxes and menu commands as are found in the Windows screenshots. Where significant differences do occur, you'll find additional screenshots taken on a Macintosh to distinguish the differences.

How to read this book

I have to admit that this publication is not a page-turner that leaves you grasping for more time to finish a chapter before retiring at night. After all, it's a computer book and inasmuch as my editors at Wiley always strive to get me to add a little drama to the text, few people will pick up this Bible and read it from cover to cover. You should think of this book more as a reference where you can jump to an area and read over the contents to help simplify your work sessions in Acrobat Standard (available only on Windows in versions 8 through X), and Acrobat Professional version X (available on both Windows and Macintosh). Note that Acrobat Pro Extended for Windows is no longer available in Acrobat X. Adobe Presenter on Windows is also unavailable in Acrobat X. Therefore, I deleted a chapter on creating presentations for this edition.
