I recently presented at the Prepare to Win event in Phoenix on creating the perfect pdf, as well as cross media.  Preparing a PDF for print can be a tough task. With so many options and potential unknowns it’s nice to know that Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro takes a lot of the guessing out of creating a PDF.  The below video tutorials are the ones I’ve found most helpful when troubleshooting PDFs and has helped me create accurate content for my print service provider.
