You no longer require Flash Player installed on your system to create or view portfolios. You can easily create folders within your PDF Portfolio, delete component files and folders, edit component filenames, and add and edit descriptions of component files.
Create a basic PDF Portfolio in a few quick steps.
Open Acrobat and select the hamburger menu File menu (macOS), then select Create > PDF Portfolio.
(Windows), or theSelect Add Files menu in the upper left of the Create PDF Portfolio window. You can add a file, folder of files, pages from a scanner, web page, or items in the clipboard.
Select Create to add the files to the PDF Portfolio.
The selected files are added to your portfolio, and a new portfolio window opens displaying the files in your portfolio.
In Windows, the Acrobat PDFMaker in Outlook and Lotus Notes can create PDF Portfolios when you convert email messages.
As you cannot change the order of files in the PDF Portfolio, it is recommended to add the files in a sequential order. Also, if you add a folder, the files in the folder are added in the alphabetical order.
You can add content to an existing PDF Portfolio.
From an open PDF Portfolio, do any of the following:
For best performance, keep the total number of component files at 15 or less, and the total size of all component files under 50 MB.
In the navigation pane of a PDF Portfolio, do the following:
You can link to websites or embed video tags. Linking to web content is useful when you want to reduce the file size of the PDF Portfolio.
Right-click in the PDF portfolio window, and select Add Web Content.
Enter a filename and description for the web content that gets added to your PDF Portfolio. This web file links to the web content you specify.
Do one of the following:
To link to a website, select Add A Web Link, and then add the URL.
To embed a video tag, select Add An Embed Tag, and then paste the video’s embed code. Video-sharing websites usually include a way to copy a video’s embed code. For example, a website could include an Embed box that shows the code and other embedding options.
You can convert multimedia files, such as MP3 to PDF within a PDF Portfolio. You can also convert these files to PDF if they are encoded in H.264 (with AAC audio): MOV, M4V, MP4, 3GP, and 3G2. (H.264 and AAC are encoding and compression options for movies.)
From an open PDF Portfolio, right-click/Control-click one or more multimedia files in the PDF Portfolio and select Convert To PDF.
If a dialog box appears, specify the options as needed and click OK.
If you delete a folder, all files inside it are deleted from the PDF Portfolio. You can also extract one or more components from the PDF Portfolio and save them separately.
