Adobe Acrobat 5 Master Class: Interactivity & Multimedia for PDF Larger Image(pdf)
Recognized in How Design magazine, 2003 for cover and editorial design, this was our most challenging project of all time. We co-authored this how-to book, which made the case for designing interactive experiences using PDF. The book was recognized as one of the best on the subject, partly because we realized the need for books that address of the conceptual design aspects of a medium, in addition to the capabilities of the software. One reviewer wrote on Amazon.com, “This is probably one of the best designed, beautiful-to-look-at, and useful technical books I have seen. The layout is thoughtful and clear, and the instruction well-paced and thorough. Who would have thought that Acrobat could be the Swiss army knife of software. The authors are able to show that Acrobat, a program that is usually thought of as a rather staid and boring work-horse of an application, can do so much. I for one will never think of it that way again. This book will become an important course and resource book for my university design students." And another reviewer wrote, “This book isn't just the best of the bunch for learning Acrobat, it's the book that all other computer books should be aspiring to be like.” Sold at amazon.com
