Adobe PDFs
Abdul (576 pencils) | Sun, 2005-04-24 19:13Just need some help here. I'm wanting to like put all my project pieces together in one .pdf file, like page by page. Thing is, how do I make one? Lolz, I've loaded up Acrobat thinking you could make a new document, but you can't.
Do I have to like make it in InDesign, and the export it as a .pdf? I know it sounds stupid, but I seriously don't know how to make a .pdf.
Someone help us out here, please?

In Microsoft Word, you actually have to go to File>Print and in that dialog box you'll have the option to save as a PDF. In InDesign you just go to File>Export and I believe one of the file types you can export to will be a PDF. I'm not on my PowerBook right now so I can't say for sure.
I don't know if Word will work for him, as he's on a PC. I don't remember if Word for Windows has the same PDF integration that we all enjoy on our Macs.
I've exported a .pdf from InDesign before, no worries.
So in InDesign, do I just create each image on a seperate page, and then once it's exported as a .pdf, will each image be on a different page on the .pdf document?
Sounds confusing I know.
Yes. Your document in PDF form will appear nearly identical to its InDesign counterpart.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that he wants a multi-page .PDF doing what you said would simply create multiple .PDF's not a single file....
Now that I've said that I don't think that will work let me say I have no clue how you'd do that. I have a PC too and it's intergration with .PDF's is quite poor IMHO...

Yeah, that's it. I want a multiple page .pdf. (Thanks bro.) Surely someone knows how!?
Try CutePDF. It sets up as a virtual printer and craps out a beautful pdf.

Do exactly as Dan said. Create an InDesign document to the size you want, place each image on a separate page then export the whole thing. This will give you the multi-page PDF you are looking for.
