Given Me a Foot Up Against the Competition
"This Adobe Acrobat training will allow me to move up and begin creating and editing forms for my entire company, instead of for just one location. It will also help me with my college major which is Public Relations/ Marketing. This training has given me a foot up against the competition. I would recommend this training because I came into this class not knowing how to operate Acrobat at all and now I know how to create forms, apply watermark, enhance documents, and a lot more. This class was great." - Breayana B. - AAWDC (Adobe Acrobat Pro Training)
