Design A Pdf Computer Training Program Catalog

Design a PDF Computer Training Course Catalog


Computer training course catalogs typically list the course titles and identification numbers as well as the description, location offered, cost and dates. Designing a document which your students can download from a website or receive as an attachment in an email message involves deciding on the fonts and colors you want to use, setting up a table for the information, and converting your document to PDF format.


Instructions


1. Purchase and install the Adobe Acrobat Pro software to create your PDF computer training course catalog. You can also use LiveCycle Designer software to create forms on your catalog pages. For example, you can add fields to solicit registration information.


2. Open a new document in Microsoft Word or other word processing software.


3. Locate and download a template at a site such as Microsoft Office Online's template site for catalogs, or design your own catalog pages so that potential students can easily locate relevant information. For example, group your course offerings by curricula and include an index. Specify a phone number to call in case anyone has questions about the course offerings.


4. Type your course information into the document (or copy and paste from another source document.) Include hyperlinks to course registration sites, if available. Describe payment methods (for example, check or credit card.) Add visuals and any background information, such as instructor biographies. Include prerequisites and any additional fees associated with testing, if applicable.


5. Convert the document to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the menu toolbar, click the "Create PDF" option. Click the "Save" button to save and preview your file. If you have included hyperlinks in your document, be sure to click the check box labeled "Add Links" on the Preferences tab. Check that your PDF file looks and functions as it should before distributing it.
