With the release of many (if not all) of the Adobe CS3 Packages comes a nice new release of Adobe’s famous PDF creator, Acrobat.

What to do, how to learn, what to learn, and methods of implementation all begged for answers, and for anyone venturing out on their own- these questions can be a little intimidating. And just as eager young minds strive to find new techniques and design tricks, every good designer is constantly learning, exploring, and probing for ways to beef up their skills.
