The Adobe® Acrobat® & PDF Conference will be held April 20-21 , 2005 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida. Adobe Systems is returning as the gold sponsor of the event, and will deliver a keynote presentation as a part of the conference. Other top PDF software developers and well-known PDF experts are scheduled to speak and exhibit at the conference.  The Adobe Acrobat & PDF Conference includes more than 25 educational sessions that are organized into three separate tracks: Management Track, Technical Track, and the User Track. Conference information is available on-line at www.pdf2005.com
 
"The Adobe Acrobat & PDF Conference brings together a great line-up of speakers and exhibitors, and the location in the heart of Walt Disney World in Orlando adds to its appeal," said Christopher Smith, the President of American Graphics Institute. "This is the first opportunity for PDF users, developers and IT professionals to get an in-depth look at Acrobat 7 and the updated PDF file format," said Smith.
 
Pre-conference training sessions are being offered April 19, and provide in-depth technical training for software developers, technical professionals and end-users. The conference also includes an exhibit area where users can meet the conference sponsors and learn more about their products and services. Joining Adobe Systems as event sponsors are PDF software developers Appligent, ScanSoft (NASDAQ: SSFT), and Acrobat training and consulting firm AGI Training.
 
"We've worked hard to create a conference that appeals to management, technology professionals and Acrobat users alike. Whether attendees are looking to deploy PDF as a standard across their enterprise or are looking to learn in-depth technical skills, we have the sessions for them. Many of the sessions focus on the new capabilities of Adobe Acrobat version 7, the new PDF forms tools it includes and the new server products. We also have expanded sessions for graphics professionals on how to successfully use PDF for print and prepress," said Smith. "Overall we have created a very compelling reason to travel to Orlando this April," he concluded.
 
"We've received valuable input on the content of this year's event from the author of the PDF Bible, Ted Padova and also Leonard Rosenthol, the Chief Technology Officer of PDF Sage," said Smith who is also the author of numerous Acrobat and PDF related books. He recently contributed to the updated version of the Adobe Acrobat 7 Classroom in a Book for Adobe Press.
