or video. To become certified as a Specialist, you must pass
the exams on the required products listed below.
Example: ACE Print Specialist (with passing
marks on the tests for Adobe InDesign, Adobe Acrobat®, and
either Adobe Photoshop® or Adobe Illustrator®)
Master certification:

Adobe product suites. To become certified as a Master, you
must pass the exam for each of the products in the suite.
