Review: Great time saver, easy to follow, missing some details - I bought this book to help me finish a PDF generator I was working on that required imposition. I opened up the book in the morning and by mid afternoon I had fixed the issues I was having. The book is very easy to follow and provides a quick overview of the PDF format in plain English. As others have pointed out, this book is not a replacement for the spec. Instead, it is a great companion piece to help you understand how parts of the format work under the hood with tips to help you go deeper. Despite this, there are some parts I wish had more detail. I really would have liked a bigger section dedicated to font encoding. Review: Good book for beginners - Goes through the internals of PDF document and it's overall spec. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #703,850 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #278 in Web Design (Books) #324 in Data Processing #2,637 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | ## Images ![Developing with PDF: Dive Into the Portable Document Format - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813em9EhWvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great time saver, easy to follow, missing some details *by J***E on August 8, 2017* I bought this book to help me finish a PDF generator I was working on that required imposition.

Oh sure, I've used it to read PDF documents, as well to save Word documents in this particular format. But I didn't know how to create a new PDF document, even though I have Adobe Acrobat Pro, which is part of the Adobe Master Collection CS4, which I acquired while attending school at ITT-Tech. Mr. Rosenthol covers it all; syntax, imaging model, images, text and navigation to mention just a few items from the Table of Contents. I didn't know, for instance, that you can embed files such as multimedia and 3D into a PDF document. I didn't know about annotations, acroforms, metadata or standards. Looks like I have a lot of reading and catching up to do. I truly appreciate Mr. Rosenthol's effort to teach us what we need to know about PDF documents. Regardless of whether you use Adobe Acrobat for professional reasons, for reading and just want to know more about it and how it works or you intend to code and want to know more, this book is for you. Many people use programs without understanding anything about it. I think if you want to get more use from programs, regardless of whether it is free or cost a bundle, then you owe it to yourself to educate yourself it. When we understand something, we usually get more use out of it. Isn't that the end reason for acquiring a program to begin with? We acquired it so that we can use it to the fullest extent of our ability. Otherwise, regardless of whether it is free or bought, it just takes up space on your hard drive and gathers dust. I would definitely recommend this book to others. ## Frequently Bought Together - Developing with PDF: Dive Into the Portable Document Format - PDF Explained: The ISO Standard for Document Exchange - PDF Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6872450-developing-with-pdf-dive-into-the-portable-document-format](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6872450-developing-with-pdf-dive-into-the-portable-document-format) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
