VERY PLEASED WITH THIS BEGINNING PRIMER!, Nov 19 2009
By Elaine Campbell "Desert Dweller" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pocket Book of Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional (Paperback)
As a non-computer geek who wanted a clear, concise and simple basic exposition of how to maneuver in Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional and accomplish what I wanted to in order to reach my documentary goal, this book turned out to be perfect for my needs.
It is easy to use and one can readily find the subject one wants to obtain information about. The handy index at the back of the book helps one do that.
I have another book on the subject but it is so bogged down with multifarious technical details that it is difficult to get to the heart of the matter. This book gives you data in a nutshell. There is not a lot of elaboration, it is 219 pages long, rather than 400. And perhaps for the more advanced computer user, it would be just too simple.
But I am glad to have come across it while surfing on Amazon.com and find it extremely helpful with this, for me, newly acquired program that needs outside help to understand as I believe the Help page of Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional just doesn't cut it.
I thank Mr. Zhang for writing this book.

don't buy it, Feb 13 2011
By LikeShostakovich "Dimitri" - Published on Amazon.com
Don't waste your money to buy the kindle edition of this book. It is useless
for two reasons (a) there is no table of contents, and (b) there are no page numbers.
There is an index in the back but you can't use it, it references page numbers which
is useless as the tablet pages are not numbered. The items in the kindle edition are designated
by some type of kindle-index from 0 to 1335, but they don't tell you how to get from say, page 28 in the book's index,
to their kindle-index number to bring up the page on your tablet. This book was written only to
make money off of suckers like me.

Bad formatting, May 16 2010
By GrrlPoker - Published on Amazon.com
I did not like the way the book only read properly in landscape. This made trying to find the appropriate chapter difficult. This book needs to be reformatted to show correctly on both portait or landscape mode. The book might have great content, but as I was completely turned off by the table of contents formatting, I wouldn't know. Table of Contents are vital to any type of technical manual or instructional text, and this failed miserably.
