Acknowledgments

Thanks to the folks at Adobe. It’s been terric to work with Acrobat all these years and

watch it grow into such a robust and—dare I say it—cool piece of software.

Thanks to the folks at Peachpit, especially my diligent editor, Valerie Witte, and the

all-seeing, all-knowing Becky Morgan.

Thanks to the folks at home who oer me support and fresh coee: my dear hubby,

Terry; my girls, Erin and Deena; and my goofy dogs.

Finally, as always, thanks to Tom Waits for bringing on the music.
