How do I make a pdf file! Sorry am an adobe virgin!

Hello, probably an easy one for most of you out there..
Just joined this site- so I could ask someone about this as when I called the support- they pretty much told me all answers are online- well, I cant find any!
I have a journal and need to make a pdf of 10pages on Windows. I dont have the file in a doc form yet- so its not about converting. Do I need to type it up and then convert it? How exactly do I make a pdf from nothing...
And why cant I just scan it!!
Thanks.

createpdf.adobe.com is so 2007 :-). acrobat.com offers services to
create pdfs for free as long as the document is a word, excel,
powerpoint, open office, html, or text file. acrobat.com is beta, but
you might give it a try.
I'm wondering how they will keep font fidelity and other useful
properties. But for many it will obviate the need for Acrobat.

    How do I make a PDF file smaller in size?

    Do you have images on your PDF? You might want to use smaller images (smaller in file size and not in necessarely in image dimension).
    I'm not sure what else could be done to make your PDF form smaller. How big is your form?

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

    how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

    Hi aho,
    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
    What can I do with Reader?
    Let me know if you have further questions!

  • How can I make a pdf-file of the front panel?

    I like to make a pdf-file of the front panel. Thus I need a vi, where I can input the printer name (as the pdf-printer is not the default one), the vi and the name of the future pdf-file.
    Thanks, Verena

    Try this and if you were to search the forum with "pdf" as the search parameter, you'd find several postings on the same subject. One of them is here and another is here with some email addresses of individuals with existing toolkits.

  • How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

    i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

    If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
    You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
    More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

  • How do I make my pdf files secure in Keynote 6?

    In earlier versions of Keynote, I could export to a pdf and make it secure so that someone else needed a password to make changes to the file. Now, I can only require a password for someone to open the file. That doesn't help.  I need new users to be able to download my pdf without being able to left the clip art, etc. Is there a work around?
    Thanks.

    The only way to add security at this time is to use Adobe Acrobat Pro

  • Printing separations to pdfs, how do I make separate pdf files instead of one multipage file

    Every day at least a dozen times I print spot color separations for film through the print dialogue to pdf, and every single time I have to either print the spot colors one at  a time, or open the multipage pdf in Acrobat and use the clunky extract page function to get separate files.  I've been doing it a long time and it drives me bonkers, is there any way to just get it to print separate pdfs?
    Then I have to rename each sep to have the color in the file name.  If there was a way to automate that I'd find myself with all kinds of spare time on my hands. I could go to the gym, lose some weight, possibly live longer.
    Thanks in advance

    I send them to clents remotely.  I don't print the films myself, other people do it.  Most of the time those other people don't really know what they are doing, and are under killer deadlines, so I make the files as simple and comprehensible as possible.
    Also the files need to get ganged up for filmsetters occasionally, so if we have a bunch of left chest prints (3 inches wide by less then an inch tall), for instance, we can put them all on one 11x17 piece of film by drag and dropping them into an ai file. To save film.

    How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

    You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.
