Here's a list of the Acrobat session that I've been managing.

Date Time Title Description Speaker
11-17-08 11:30 AM The Acrobat 9 JavaScript SDK: Scripting in Acrobat Hear about Acrobat 9 functionality you can leverage using JavaScript and the new security model. This class will discuss the new functionality, explain extensions to existing functionality, and discuss how to write code and publish your PDF files to minimize (or even eliminate) the security warnings and maximize the number of JavaScript functions available to your documents. If you have ever run into a problem where the one function you need requires a "privileged context," but that function would break the document certification that provides the context, this class is for you. Joel Geraci
11-18-08 01:30 PM SWF Playback in Acrobat 9, Part 2: ActionScript and Rich Media Annotation Discover how new Rich Media Annotation and integrated SWF support in Acrobat 9 let you create a truly integrated experience when viewing a PDF page and dynamic multimedia elements. If you're an ActionScript programmer, learn how to leverage the Acrobat JavaScript engine. If you're experienced with Acrobat JavaScript, learn what ActionScript and new Rich Media Annotation can do for you. Joel Geraci
11-17-08 03:30 PM SWF Playback in Acrobat 9, Part 1: Customized PDF Portfolio Layouts Learn how to create rich interactive interfaces for groups of PDF files. With the integration of SWF support in  Acrobat 9, you can now create rich experiences to help users find exactly what they're looking for in a PDF Portfolio. Find out how to get started with this exciting new Acrobat capability. Joel Geraci
11-17-08 02:00 PM Inside PDF Learn surprising details about the inside of a PDF file. Adobe expert Jim King will describe what Adobe's original intentions were with PDF and how that fundamental architecture has been robust enough to evolve and support the features customers have required over the last 15 years. After this session, you'll understand why PDF has survived when some other document formats with similar goals are now extinct. Jim King
11-17-08 11:30 AM Battle of the AcrobatUsers.com Stars Hear from five of the top contributors to AcrobatUsers.com as they demo their favorite features and best practices. Watch these Acrobat experts do things with the software that you may never have thought possible. Stephanie Baartz-Bowman
11-19-08 05:00 PM Acrobat and PDF for the Web Designer Learn how to get PDF files to behave the way you want on the web.
