A is for Acrobat!
STC-Montreal Workshop | Posted February 27th, 2008
Did you know that Adobe Acrobat 8 has a built in document review process?
Or that you can extract images and tables from PDFs?
Or that you can set credentials and security options?
Whether you’re a technical writer, lawyer, accountant or project manager, if you make PDFs, we can show you how to make PDFs better. STC-Montreal is hosting two full-day seminars on making the most out of PDFs.
If the only thing you do with Adobe Acrobat 8 is “Save As”, you’re missing out. We’ll show you how to be more productive in a day-long course full of practical hands-on examples. Class sizes will be limited to ensure you benefit from one-on-one instruction from a certified Adobe trainer. Each participant will have use of a workstation.
