What you should know before watching this course

- As you begin this course, whether you're a graphic artist who wants to create healthy PDFs for print, or you're a prepress person who needs to examine incoming PDFs for problems, it's helpful if you're at least a little bit familiar with the Acrobat interface. And you should have some sense of the issues that you have to deal with when creating work for print, such as building to the correct size, using the correct colors, embedding your fonts, and so on. Other than that, don't worry, you certainly don't have to be a pro in Acrobat to learn all that the print production tools can do for you.

Now if you don't already have Acrobat Pro DC, you can install it through your Creative Cloud app, if you're a Creative Cloud member. And even if you're not a Creative Cloud member, you can download the free trial version of the software here, and I've provided the URL for you. Make sure you understand how you store files on your computer. Be comfortable with your operating system, and then once you've installed the software, you're ready to go.
