Custom Layouts for PDF Portfolio

Hi,

 

Is there a way to have custom layouts for a PDF Portfolio? I think this has been removed but does anyone have any alternatives?

 

The dream is to have a 'homescreen' all company branded with 6 titles which the user can click to open the relevant PDF. Really hoping there is another way to do this or a different program. Attached an image to give a rough idea of what I mean.

 

Hope someone can help!

 

Thanks.

PDF Portfolios are rendered in flash, and there is a Flash SDK just for creating your own porfolio layouts.

Good Luck.

You can create a file with this layout and attach the other PDF files to this PDF file. And use links to the attached PDF files.

Hi,

 

Not sure I totally understand what you mean, how would I go about this?

One solution:

  • in Photoshop create the 'homescreen' and export it as PDF
  • in Adobe Acrobat attach the other PDF files to this PDF file and create links to the attached PDF files
