Producing a PDF Portfolio
Do you have to collect the correspondence for a contract negotiation? Or
maybe you need to pull together material for a presentation to a potential
customer? An Acrobat portfolio may t the bill perfectly.
Acrobat 9 takes the idea of packages—the method used to bring
together multiple PDF les within a parent le in Acrobat 8—to a new
Flash-fed feature called Portfolio. In Acrobat 9 Portfolio, available in
Acrobat 9 Standard and up, not only can you gather multiple les into
a parent le, but you can also congure the interface used to present
your les and explore other new features. For example, you can estab-
lish a folder hierarchy, search in a portfolio, apply program commands to
the portfolio’s contents and the overall portfolio, and use both PDF and
non-PDF les in the portfolio. Each le retains its own original features
and elements, such as pagination, security, forms, digital signature, and
default views.
Since Portfolio is a way to bring together content from dierent
sources, and then manage and edit the component parts in dierent ways,
this chapter includes dozens of references to specic topics mentioned
elsewhere in the book.
