Course Description

The one day course looks at generating pdfs suitable for either on-screen viewing, reproduction on a colour printer or taking direct to the printing press.

After creating pdfs, we fine-tune, edit, add interactivity and optimise them.

We’ll add multiple pages of different sizes and shapes and individually manipulate those pages. You’ll find out why Adobe Acrobat is a great multimedia tool too — adding links and bookmarks.
