Table of Contents

Ron Gilster teaches the subjectwhich encompasses good troubleshooting and repair practices as well as specific hardware factsin a clear style that's easy to follow as you work on an actual machine and, by the way, work on actual machines is essential to passing the tests. The book foregoes photographs which almost never turn out well, and rarely look like your equipment anyway in favour of clear line drawings. There are some stepbystep procedures to follow, but Gilster mostly recognises that PC hardware varies a lot and leaves most specifics up to readers.

Topics covered Intelcompatible personal computers, their essential subsystems motherboard, RAM, processor, BIO S, video, disk storage, and others, and how to assemble, troubleshoot, and repair them. Operating system coverage focuses on Windows 95, 98, Me, and 2000.

Index.

This book is your complete introductory reference to the reading, writing,
and managing of PDF files for any and all of their many purposes, from
preparing prepress documents for printing on sophisticated imagesetters to
publishing your life story as an eBook for sale on the bevy of online bookstores.
Because the way you make, prepare, and sometimes even read a PDF
file varies according to the purpose you have in mind for it, you will find that this books information emphasizes more the purpose you ultimately have in
mind for the PDF file than the features used to accomplish this purpose in the
various programs such as Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and the Acrobat eBook
Reader.

As a result, this book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. Each discussion
of a topic briefly addresses the question of how a particular feature enables
you to accomplish your purpose before launching into how to use it. In Acrobat,
as with most other sophisticated programs, there is usually more than one way
to do a task. For the sake of your sanity, I have purposely limited the choices,
usually by giving you only the most efficient ways to do a particular task. Later
on, if youre so tempted, you can experiment with alternative ways of doing a
task. For now, just concentrate on performing the task as described.
As much as possible, Ive tried to make it unnecessary for you to remember
anything covered in another section of the book. From time to time, however,
you come across a crossreference to another section or chapter in the book.
For the most part, such crossreferences are meant to help you get more complete
information on a subject, should you have the time and interest. If you
have neither, no problem; just ignore the crossreferences as if they never
existed.

How to Use This Book
As a reference to all things PDF, you should start out by looking up the topic
you need information on either in the Table of Contents or the Index and
then refer directly to the section of interest. Most topics are explained conversationally.
Many times, however, my regimentcommander mentality takes
over, and I list the steps you need to take to accomplish a particular task in a
particular section.

What You Can Safely Ignore
When you come across a section that contains the steps you take to get something
done, you can safely ignore all text accompanying the steps the text that
isnt in bold if you have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through
more material.
Whenever possible, I have also tried to separate background or footnotetype
information from the essential facts by exiling this kind of junk to a sidebar.
These sections are often flagged with icons that let you know what type of
information you will encounter there. You can easily disregard text marked
this way. I discuss the icons used in this book a little later.

Foolish Assumptions
Im going to make only two assumptions about you lets see how close I get
You have a need to create and use PDF files in your work, and you have access
to Acrobat 6. Some of you are working on PCs running some version of Windows
or Windows NT. Others of you are working on Macintosh computers running
one of the later versions of the Mac operating system. Note that there are rather
specific system requirements for Acrobat 6 whether you use a Windows or
Macintosh computer. These requirements are covered in Chapter 1.
Beyond that, its anyones guess what brings you to Acrobat and PDF. Some of
you need to know how to convert all your paper documents into PDF files.
Some of you need to know how to save your graphics files as PDFs. Others of
you need to know how to create PDF form files in which users can submit
important data. Still others of you need to know how to create and publish
PDF files as eBooks for sale and distribution on the World Wide Web.
Regardless of your needs, you will be able to find the information you require
somewhere in the pages of this book.

How This Book Is Organized
This book is organized into five parts, the first four of which cover all the
basics of reading, making, and managing PDF files. The fifth part, the indispensable
Part of Tens, recaps important Acrobat and PDF enhancements and
resources. You should not, however, get too hung up about following along
with the structure of the book; ultimately, it doesnt matter at all if you find out
how to use Paper Capture to convert printed documents to PDF before you find
out how to use PDFMaker 6.0 to convert your Word documents, or if you figure
out how to archive your PDF documents in a searchable collection before you
discover how to create interactive forms for collecting data online. The important
thing is that you find the information and understand it when you find
it when you need to do what needs getting done.

In case youre interested, heres a synopsis of what you find in each part of
this book.

Part I Presenting Acrobat and PDF Files
Part I looks at what makes PDF files tick and the most common ways of accessing their information.

Chapter 6 covers capturing paper documents as PDF files primarily by scanning them directly into Acrobat 6.

Chapter 7 tells you how to capture Web pages as PDF files.

your PDF files.

Chapter 12 acquaints you with the different ways you can extract contents in your PDF files for repurposing with the other software programs you use.

Part IV PDFs as Electronic Documents

Chapter 14 covers the creation and usage of PDF documents as interactive forms that you can fill out and whose data you can extract.

Chapter 15 acquaints you with creating and preparing PDF files as eBooks for sale and distribution on the World Wide Web.

The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have this notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein.
Well, the good news is that you can master calculus. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trig. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus.

Students taking their first calculus course If you're enrolled in a calculus course and you find your textbook less than crystal clear, this is the book for you. It covers the most important topics in the first year of calculus differentiation, integration, and infinite series.
Students who need to brush up on their calculus to prepare for other studies If you've had elementary calculus, but it's been a couple of years and you want to review the concepts to prepare for, say, some graduate program, Calculus For Dummies will give you a thorough, nononsense refresher course.
Adults of all ages who'd like a good introduction to the subject Nonstudent readers will find the book's exposition clear and accessible. Calculus For Dummies takes calculus out of the ivory tower and brings it down to earth.
This is a userfriendly math book. Whenever possible, the author explains the calculus concepts by showing you connections between the calculus ideas and easier ideas from algebra and geometry. Then, you'll see how the calculus concepts work in concrete examples. All explanations are in plain English, not mathspeak. Calculus For Dummies covers the following topics and more

Realworld examples of calculus
The two big ideas of calculus differentiation and integration
Why calculus works
Prealgebra and algebra review
Common functions and their graphs
Limits and continuity

Features the rules, definitions, and formulas you need to know
Conquer your fear of calculus the fun and easy way

Confused by the complexities of calculus This easytounderstand guide takes the mystery out of key calculus concepts such as limits, differentiation, and integration.
