Adobe Acrobat 7.0

Creating a PDF File

A basic PDF is essentially an electronic printout of a document. PDF enhancements and interactivity can be added using Acrobat (refer to Working with Bookmarks and Multiple Sources). Once the PDF file is created, you can send it as an email attachment, link to it from a web page, or copy it to a diskette. The following instructions should work within most programs.

1. From the File menu, select Create PDF » From File
   OR
   On the Basic toolbar, click CREATE PDF » From File...
   The Open dialog box appears.

2. Navigate to the file you wish to convert to PDF

3. OPTIONAL: To adjust the Acrobat 7.0 settings, click SETTINGS...
   NOTE: In order to be allowed to change the settings, Files-of-type must not be All Files(*.*).

4. Click OPEN

5. Review the PDF file to ensure that the results are what you intended
