Course Overview

Adobe Acrobat DC is the most thorough and comprehensive course for students to learn how to reliably create, edit, and sign PDF documents and forms with Adobe Acrobat DC. Each of the 13 lessons in this step-by-step, project-based course contains a project that builds on their growing knowledge of the program. This cross-platform (Mac and Windows) course shows students how to collaborate effectively through electronic reviews, easily share their work across multiple platforms and devices (including via the Adobe Document Cloud service), and speed up their production and business task workflow with Acrobat DC.

You will learn how to easily convert files from any application to PDF and how to directly edit text and images in PDF documents. You’ll also learn how to build PDF forms, and to speed up business workflow by gathering feedback and approval using new shared document review features. And you’ll learn how to create interactive forms and track responses within Acrobat, add signatures and security to PDF files, work with companion Acrobat apps, and much more.
