Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional
Training Course Outline

1-day course

Overview and objectives

This course will teach students how to use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional to create and modify PDF documents, create bookmarks and links, apply document security and digital signatures, initiate and manage reviews, create interactive PDF forms, and prepare PDF documents for professional print production.

At the end of this one-day course students will have met these objectives:

  • Identify appropriate techniques for generating PDF files for prepress use; specify an appropriate default settings file for generating a PDF document; and use the Adobe PDF Settings dialog box to create a custom settings file.

  • Define colour management and specify colour management preferences; specify Distiller’s colour management settings for PDF conversion; use the Output Preview dialog box to soft proof colours in Acrobat; and convert a file’s colours to the intended destination colour space.

  • Adjust box sizes, specify printer marks, and fix hairlines; use the Output Preview dialog box to preview separations and to display colour warnings; use the Ink Manager dialog box to control ink colours; use the Trap Presets dialog box to specify trap settings; preview transparency flattening and specify settings for transparency flattening; and use the Print command to print colour separations.

  • Identify potential problems that can occur in a print production workflow; use Preflight profiles to identify potential printing problems in a PDF document; create and save a report detailing preflight results for a PDF document; create a preflight droplet for a specific preflight profile; and use the Preflight dialog box to determine if a PDF document is PDF/X compliant.

  • Discuss PDF forms and customize the Adobe Designer environment; use Adobe Designer to create a new form; use the Library palette to add objects to a form; modify form objects; and preview a form’s appearance and test its fields.
