Well that's good to hear...on both accounts. :laugh:

Quote from: Joe on August 06, 2008, 07:36:07 PMAgain, Adobe should consider a version of Acrobat for the printing industry and throw out the fluff that we don't want. Heck, I would pay extra to get less sometimes.
Amen brother!

Is this because "print is dead"? Just wondering.

I don't have Acrobat 9 yet but during a presentation that I attended at drupa, I got the impression that the PDF Portfolio function could be a nice replacement for the ZIP files that now go back and forth between companies. Has anyone already had a go at this?

I've seen it in there but haven't used it as I don't send out PDF's. I wonder though if people need the full blown Acrobat to view them?

I don't see how it is of use for us. All it does it let you add non-PDF content to a PDF such as flash movies. I email PDF soft proofs now, and can't see how this would be any better.

Do you only mail a single PDF at a time?  If so - then you are correct, it doesn't help you.

However, if you are sending around multiple documents to a single customer (be they PDF or not), then a Portfolio makes a much better solution than Zip, StuffIt, etc.

I combine several files at a time and send them. Next time, I'm going to try out your portfolio. I can't wait, it's gonna blow some minds. Half the people I deal with can't even figure out if there is more than one page to a pdf. I get calls all the time asking where the rest of it is. Me: "you see that little blue arrow? click it". Them: "....oh"

I just received my copy of Acrobat 9 today at work.  :aljolson:

I'm sure I'll have some question for you guys. :wink:

Wow I just got my first portfolio PDF from a client that sent in one file that had 5 different PDF files of correct pages for a book.  Pretty cool stuff and a lot easier than having to open each up and toggle between them to check specs or worse trying to look at 5 tiled files at once.  Nice feature.
