Essentials of PDF creation
Explore 5 tips for creating the perfect PDF layout.
By creating a PDF, you provide a single file type to your viewers. The file displays your content the way that you intend, no matter what software you use to create the design. You can be sure that the file you create displays precisely the same way for everyone, no matter what device they are viewing the file on.
Save or export to PDF
Create a PDF document from your favorite app by choosing the Save As PDF or Export to PDF option from the menu. Exporting a PDF, or “converting” a PDF, lets you export an existing PDF to popular apps, such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint , or Excel. The ease of converting PDFs to other file formats lets you reuse documents instead of having to create them again.
Organize and remove pages within your PDF to further customize your document. Organize Pages allows you to remove pages, insert or replace pages from other PDFs, rotate pages, or combine or split PDFs. It allows you to personalize your documents for each group or person.
Extract and insert pages
Extracting pages from your PDF allows you to create individual documents from the extracted pages. You can either select individual pages or enter a page range. You can even extract by the orientation of the page, or by odd- or even-numbered pages.
Conversely, you're also able to insert pages from other documents. Acrobat provides various options, such as inserting from a file, the clipboard, scanner, or a web page. You can even insert a good ol’ blank page to split up your document to enhance the layout.
Rotate or replace pages
Sometimes you must rotate one page or multiple pages within a PDF, or you must replace an existing page. Acrobat allows you the flexibility to do both of these things at a touch. Replace pages one-for-one or replace a single page with multiple pages from external documents. Rotate pages in any direction to format your document for optimal viewing.
Merge or split PDFs
We’ve talked about the ability to personalize your documents. For example, you may only need part of a PDF to be distributed to coworkers, while the full PDF is distributed to management. It's a good example of combining or splitting up existing PDFs.
You can merge, or Combine, multiple PDFs into one document. Combining PDFs can be incredibly helpful when you must create a guidelines booklet from several individual process documents, for example. Conversely, you may have a guidelines book that you must split to distribute to many different departments.
Create a document inside Acrobat, from your desktop, or from popular programs. Rearrange pages without having to open your source document. Follow our step-by-step instructions in short task-oriented articles and learn the specific time-saving tools you require to get started.
