How do you make a PDF ?

How do I start to make a file into a PDF file?

You create the document using Word, Excel, Illustrator, InDesign, ..., then convert it to PDF.
Most of the above tools have their own PDF creating facility (Save as PDF); otherwise you can use the Adobe PDF Pack online service.

  • How do you make an Pdf searchable?

    I just paid for the $24 version of Adobe solely so I can make pdf files searchable.
    Still can seem to figure out how to do this.
    Would appreciate any and all help!
    Thnx
    dlm

    Hi dlmilla,
    Adobe PDF Pack performs OCR (optical character recognition) when you convert a PDF file to Word or other formats. But, it doesn't perform OCR when you create PDF files. If you have a PDF that you want to make searchable, you need to use Acrobat.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

    I am running Mac OS X Panther.
    I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
    Problem is this.
    I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks
    J Slater

    jslat,
    It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
    This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1035.html
    littleshoulders [:-)
    edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

    The best way is to apply a digital signature to the file. Any other way can

  • How do you make an expanadble text box in a pdf form?

    How do you make a text box expand automatically in a pdf form?

    Hi;
    Is this a question related to FormsCentral or to PDF forms in general?  If it is for PDF forms you should ask in the Acrobat forms forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
    If it is related to FormsCentral the text boxes do not expand automatically in a PDF, except for when saving a Response as a PDF form, when the responses from the View Responses tab are saved as a PDF form all Multi-line text fields are expanded to fit the text the user had entered.
    Thanks,

  • How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

    When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
    Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
    A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
    I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
    Thank you!

    Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

    How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages)  with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

    Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
    You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

  • How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

    How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your prompt response!
    Suggested Bridge Update
    It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi.  Thanks!  I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
    My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool.  In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality.  I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels.  See table below.  The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
    Bridge Quality:
    Full
    300 ppi
    150 ppi
    96 ppi
    72 ppi
    File Size:
    25.2 MB
    23.5 MB
    7.6 MB
    3.2 MB
    2.1 MB
    Subjective Quality:
    Very good
    Very good
    Good minus
    Poor
    Useless
    I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
    Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
    I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2.  It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's.  Perhaps I'm missing something.
    Again, thanks for your response!

  • How do I make a PDF file smaller in size?

    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?

    You could ask whoever sent it to you to resend the email, but not in rich text format : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1506
    Otherwise there are a number of apps in the store that say that they support winmail.dat (search for 'winmail.dat')

    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.
