Adobe Acrobat Pro Essentials

This Acrobat Professional course will enable delegates to share electronic versions of documents with others in a format that allows them to view, print, and even review the content, even if they don't have the original software that was used to create the file. In this course, delegates will use Adobe Acrobat to convert documents to PDF files, and will customise PDF files for both their needs and the needs of the reader.
