If you have the Adobe Reader for iOS you should be able to view PDF portfolios: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/tag/ipad/.

This file is a PDF Portfolio and not viewable in an Internet Browser. You need to right or ctrl clicl and save the file to your desktop to view it. Once you open it you can scroll through the documents or click on File view to see what files are in the portfolio.

A Simple Bookkmarked PDF does not need instructions on how to use it. Keep it simple Adobe, especially if you call yourself Adobe Education!

The Portfolio format was a bit confusing at first but once you figure out how to extract all the seperate pdf files it was fine. An interesting use of Acrobat that I have never utilized.

Really? This is useless to me in this inaccessible format. Normal PDF please!

Really. What is the point of putting this information in such an unaccessible format? IT ADDS NO VALUE. In fact, it makes it impossible to view it on anything other than a desktop computer. The merge files suggestion above will work but the chapters will be out of order. Pain in the butt. I would rather read this on my ipad at my liesure.

I was hoping this resource, that no doubt had a lot of time and effort put into it, could be opened on my iPad while i work on my Mac getting to know my new tools.

How can I have this as a normal PDF please?

Hold that thought...A great tip here on the Adobe Forums by CtDave

Something to try —
View the open Portfolio in the List or Basic Grid view.
Select all the files.
Select File > Sae Files from Portfolio > Use the Browse For Folder dialog to select a destination.
Click OK.
A copy of the Portfolio's files will be in the designated location.
Perform the Combine > Merge Files into a Single PDF action.

Demonstrates that PDF Portfolio format is painful for the reader. This format is totally unnecessary in this context and does nothing more than insert a barrier between reader and content. It is a shame to trap this very useful content in such an unfiendly wrapper. Please reissue as a normal PDF that can be quickly scrolled and searched across all chapters.

Nicely formatted pdf collection of essentials of InDesign. Will definitely make use of it this year as we attempt our first digital publishing projects.
