Living In Layers - The OFFICIAL Layers Magazine Blog

Layers Blog Winner – Portfolio with Acrobat

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | March 13, 2009

Happy Friday everyone. Before I cut out to the weekend, I wanted to congratulate Lisha Bowden for winning this past week’s Blog contest. Way to go!

Now, the contest had to deal with Layers Magazine writer, and Kelby Training instructor Taz Tally. As it turns out, Taz has got a great column written here about how to setup a portfolio using Adobe Acrobat. Make sure you check some of it out below:

Build a Portfolio with Taz Tally
With the portfolio function in Acrobat 9, you can combine documents and images from a wide variety of sources—including text documents, spreadsheets, graphic and image files, PowerPoint presentations, page-layout documents, and even CAD files—into a single, editable, searchable, compressed PDF portfolio. In a PDF portfolio each document can be viewed, edited, and a saved separately.

1 CREATE A PDF PORTFOLIO
To begin the process of creating a PDF portfolio, choose File>Create PDF Portfolio. This will activate the portfolio workspace. Through this workspace you can gather your various documents; define a layout for how your portfolio will be organized and presented; format your portfolio (with headers, background images, and color schemes); edit existing portfolios; as well as save, preview, manage, share, and publish your portfolios. This Portfolio workspace is a special, separate workspace within Acrobat. Now Choose File>Save Portfolio to name and locate your portfolio (here “50 Hikes–Photo Marketing”).
