STC Workshop: A is for Acrobat!

Early-bird registration extended until this Friday!

- Did you know that Adobe Acrobat 8 has a built in document review
process?
- Or that you can extract images and tables from PDFs?
- Or that you can set credentials and security options?

Whether you're a technical writer, lawyer, accountant or project
manager, if you make PDFs, we can show you how to make PDFs better.
STC-Montreal is hosting two full-day seminars on making the most out
of PDFs.

If the only thing you do with Adobe Acrobat 8 is "Save As", you're
missing out. We'll show you how to be more productive in a day-long
course full of practical hands-on examples. Class sizes will be
limited to ensure you benefit from one-on-one instruction from a
certified Adobe trainer. Each participant will have use of a
workstation.
