Files added to a portfolio aren’t static. That is, you can open a le from
the portfolio, make changes (such as Reader-enabling the le or adding
a digital signature), and save the revised le. Some commands can be
applied directly in the Portfolio window.
Opening les for editing. Although not every le type can be edited
from within your portfolio, a great many le types can. Check out the side-
bar “Update These Files …” for a list of formats.
Follow these steps to edit a PDF le:
1. Select the le to work with from the Home or List mode, and then click
Preview on the Portfolio toolbar to display the les in the Preview
Portfolio window (Figure 29).
2. Click Open to display the le in Acrobat. You can access all the
Acrobat menus and tools.
3. Make your changes as necessary and save; the portfolio le is auto-
matically updated.
Note
The same process applies to non-PDF les, although the les open in their
native program.
Editing in portfolio. Some commands can be applied directly in the
Portfolio window to a selected le or les, such as Reduce File Size, Run
the PDF Optimizer, and others. Select the le or les in Home or List mode,
and then choose the menu item. A sampling of the commands you can
use in Portfolio are listed in the sidebar “Command Your Portfolio.”
Scanning into
a Portfolio
You can’t append a scanned
PDF to an existing file in
your portfolio. Instead, the
scanned file is added as a
new PDF.
