Only days after Smile’s release of PDFpen 5, TidBITS Publishing has published “Take Control of PDFpen 5” by Michael E. Cohen.

PDFpen 5 is a low-cost alternative to Adobe Acrobat, offering key PDF editing and manipulation features in an elegant interface. The 132-page ebook, which was created in collaboration with Smile, is available for US$10 at http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/pdfpen-5 .

In “Take Control of PDFpen 5,” Cohen first provides an overview of the PDF format. He then gives readers a tour of PDFpen’s tools and navigation. After getting the basics out of the way, Cohen turns to more in-depth features.
