Summary: Woefully inadequate and misleading.
Comment: This book, despite its modest cost, is probably the worst I've come across for what is a very useful application for creating cross-platform e-documents. What is does do well is self evident given a little time and patience with the program; what you would like to know about is incorrect; and what you don't need to know about is gone into at great length. In short - a particularly useless and frustrating book written by someone who should know better, since he is one of Adobe's top-rated authors. I wouldn't like to be reading their least-able if this is what is reckoned to be of merit.
To be fair, even Adobe can't make much of a job with their own in-house publications and their included help-guide, which, although comprehensive, is incredibly irritating to wade through.
Someday - Somebody - Somewhere, will be able to produce a book, or books that will actually tell us how to use all those great applications without us having to sweat blood.
Meanwhile... I'm not holding my breath.

Summary: The "Visual QuickStart" books benefit experienced user most
Comment: The "Visual Quickstart" books (like this one) are great for users and developers that are already using the software and need a cookbook of helper hints to get the little annoying tasks done that you just can't seem to figure out on your own. It's a great series of books!
This book in particular is great for users and developers of PDF documents that are definitely experienced in using the Acrobat 4.0 product, but just need a little help to get some of the tedious and quirky tasks done. The first time user may benefit, but will be lost in the book until they start interacting with the software on their own.
I am a software developer and I have a whole set of the "visual quickstart" guides on my shelf. I use at least one of them everyday. A definite buy for software developers!

Summary: All you need to create PDFs
Comment: This took the mystery about creating PDFs away from me. It is well organized and provided step-by-step examples that have allowed me to use PDF at work effectively.
