I am still using Acrobat 9.5 and have created electronic portfolios. Is there a way to ensure when the portfolio is saved and closed that it actually saves the format structure? I have set up the portrfolio for the windows to be split vertically and yet when I reopen the portfolio iy reverts to being split vertically.

Also, is it possible to link individual files saved in a portfolio to one saved in an original folder on the C drive so that when I update the origanal the portfolio is automatically updated?

Or does Acrobat X resolve these issues?

Hi Meredith

If you are looking specifically for reading software you probably need to do an online search, as Adobe doesn't have content specific software, but rather software that you can use to create content, graphics, and so on. You could also create a new forum topic asking for advice from the other educators on the site. Finally, you could use Acrobat to create your own content and turn it into PDFs for your students to read.

I am looking for easy software that we can use with adults studying basic reading and writing. These adults read below the 6th grade level and work with literacy volunteers on a one-to-one basis.

Por lo que he leído se observa que es una herramienta de apoyo para el docente. Tengo mucho interés en conocerla y utilizarla en mis clases.

Gracias por este tutorial que estoy estudiando.

To learn more about making PDFs look at the Acrobat help guide: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/

I am new to create PDF files. Please explain the procedure how to create PDF file from word document.

Best comment ever.

Hi Matete

Yes you can assemble many different PDFs into one file. In Acrobat under the Create or File tab (depending on version) simply go to "Combine Files into PDF" if making them into PDFs. If they are already PDFs then use "Combine Files into Single PDF."

Is there a way of 'assembling' PDF files (documents) into one file/document? Is compling them into an eprotfolio the only possible way? My need is instead of having a folder with 40+ documents on one theme, how can I build one document that will capture all of them?

I'm looking into the issue Sue. Are you using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat? Which version of either?

Sorry for your trouble - hopefully we'll have something for you soon.

Best,

thanks for the tutorial. the only thing -- half way through (paging thru the tutorial), it went to landscape mode on my screen, and I couldn't figure out how to change it back. I also am not sure what I did to make it happen, anyway. any info to correct this situation, should it happen again, would be nice. thanks

thank you for this tutorial.

Thanks for sharing Carolyn - if you have an samples to share that would be great!

I create eportfolios for distribution of my videos and other multi-media rich documents. It is a great tool!
