Did You Know...
In our many years of offering Adobe Certified FrameMaker and Acrobat training as well as training for WebWorks ePublisher and Finite Matters' PatternStream that we have not canceled a single class at our Minneapolis (Golden Valley) location because of low enrollment. Because we personally do our own training, we don't need to meet a certain level of enrollment to make a class 'feasible' to run. So, sign up with confidence, we'll be here.

Watch for the announcement and an updated Fall schedule.

Acrobat Classes -- Now Single Day Sessions
We've redesigned our regular monthly Acrobat classes so you can take any combination of topics in single day sessions. The original 2-day Advanced class has been split up to provide more flexibility. Now you can choose Basics, Review & Commenting, and Advanced Topics as desired to meet your needs. If you are new to Acrobat, it is recommended that you take the Basics class first or at the same time as the other classes.
Also available are our Accessibility - Advanced Topics, and Acrobat eForms classes offered bi-monthly.

Database Publishing with PatternStream 3 -- with a new lower price...
For years PatternStream has been one of the leading applications for setting up complex database publishing projects using Adobe FrameMaker. PatternStream integrates directly with FrameMaker and FrameMaker Server through its application programming interface (API) and is the only software that does so for this type of programmatic information creation... and now the pricing is as low as $2,495 for a desktop license (Server licenses are higher).
