Hello,
I'm preparing to take ACE exam.
I would appreciate if you could share your experience
about the exam and preparations for it.
How hard is it?
How long were you preparing to take the exam.. and so on...

Thank you!

Best regards

They are very general questions - hence my answers.

The exam is easy if you've used Acrobat for a long time and maybe even taken previous ACE exams.

The exam is hard if you've not studied all topics in the Exam Bulletin and it's your first exam as such.

My advice is to think of Acrobat as part of the (now) family of Acrobat products. Many people foget this part - also remember to train with both Mac and Windows if you can.

Visting forums such as this one can help but don't get too deep since sometimes the questions and answers might be misleading (wink) ..

I've taken 5 Acrobat ACE exams and I study for each very seriously - I would recommend reading the HELP guide if you have time - http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/kfoss/2007/02/07/acrobat-8-help-options-formats/

Cheers!

I've been using Acrobat since v1.0 and still get amazed by its power. An Acrobat ACE since 1999

Hy, just to inform you, recently I went to the exam, and I've passed it!!
must say it was NOT easy, and you really have to not only know
the features, but _understand_ them!!!

wish you a good luck to everyone who are considering to take an exam!

When I studied for the exam I thought it was a good idea to write down some questions that I thought might be asked, I had already certified in other programs so had an idea of how the questions usually are written. I ended up with a full practice exam which I have published as an interactive pdf. I'm put it on ebay just search 'acrobat practice exam', I'm sure it will be a great help to those taking the exam.
