Testimonials & Case Studies

There are also an amazing range of corporate case studies of successful implementations for Adobe Acrobat®. Some are specific to the needs of advertising agencies, major utilities, software companies, etc.They are stored as PDF files and can be printed out. They are particularly useful if you are trying to justify implementing similar programs within a specific environment.

Many of these case studies are also published on the Acrobat Reader 3.x CD-ROM through the Acrobat Cafe.
