Learning to Create PDF Documents and Learning Acrobat

This is a 4-part fee-based Webinar series starting March 11 and running for 
4 weeks.  The presenter is Karen McCall who has published an electronic 
book on creating PDF and who is one of Adobe's beta testers.  Karen also 
has a solid grasp on the importance of creating documents using structure 
and understands how to use that structure to enable the author to readily 
transform that document to different file formats and keep its 
integrity.  For those in the know, this is normally called 
"repurposing".  The series will also highlight how to create documents that 
are fully accessible to users of special software for people with 
disabilities.  The ability to make a document once and yet repurpose it to 
different document types and use it repeatedly in different places and ways 
is a time-saver.  You can read more about this Webinar series and register
