Author Information

Garrick Chow is an Adobe Certified Acrobat Expert. In addition to the book you hold in your hands, and its appropriately titled predecessor, Acrobat 5 Hands-On-Training, he has also authored Mac OS X Hands-On-Training, as well as Learning iLife, a self-paced study program on CD-ROM available through lynda.com. Garrick has been instructing students in Acrobat since version 3, and it remains as one of his favorite applications to teach. A freelance software trainer, Garrick has taught on-site classes at private companies, state and federal agencies, and college and universities. When he isn't traveling, Garrick lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where, in an effort to never hold down a regular day job, he plays bass and writes songs as a member of the pop-rock band The Jellybricks (http://www.thejellybricks.com). He can often be found playing music when he should be writing, and writing when he should be playing music.
