Combine Multiple Document Types Into a Single PDF Portfolio

PDF files offer an easy way to share documents with others. But sometimes, PDF files aren't as convenient as they should be. You may want to share files in their original format.

Fortunately, Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Acrobat X let you create PDF portfolios. A PDF portfolio is a collection of files in a single PDF unit. You can include a variety of different formats, including spreadsheets, Word documents and videos.

Better yet, the files in a PDF portfolio can be opened in their native programs. That means recipients can work with the files if needed.

To create a PDF portfolio in Acrobat X, follow these easy steps:

1. Open Acrobat X

2. On the welcome screen, click Create PDF Portfolio

3. On the next screen, select your PDF portfolio layout; you can change layout later, if you decide

4. Click Add Files

5. Use the file navigation box to select the files you'd like to include in your PDF portfolio

6. Your PDF portfolio will open in a new window; you can make changes and edits as needed.
