USING ACROBAT 9 STANDARD
Getting started
Selecting files for a PDF Portfolio
When you add a file to the PDF Portfolio, a copy of the original document is included. If the document isn't a PDF,
anyone who receives the PDF Portfolio may have to install the native application to preview that particular
document. For example, if you include a PowerPoint presentation, someone viewing your PDF Portfolio must have
Office installed to view that component.
Publish the PDF Portfolio.

When you've completed your PDF Portfolio, you can share it through email or on Acrobat.com, a secure web-based
service. You can burn it to a CD or DVD, or distribute it as you would share any other PDF.
First, choose File > Save Portfolio. From the share menu
PDF Portfolio as an email attachment. You can also share it on Acrobat.com, which is especially useful if the PDF
Portfolio file size is too large for many email servers. From the share menu, choose Share Portfolio On Acrobat.com,
and then log on to Acrobat.com.

Signing a document electronically
Like a handwritten signature, a digital signature is uniquely yours. Acrobat includes features to keep your digital
signature secure. Unlike traditional signatures, digital signatures can contain additional information, such as the date
and time of signature and the reason for signing. Just as you developed your own signature style early in life, you can
add your own flair to your signature appearance, as well.

Obtain a digital ID.
If you don't already have a digital ID, create a self-signed digital ID in Acrobat. A self-signed digital ID includes an
encrypted private key for signing or decrypting documents. It also includes a public key in a certificate used to
validate signatures and encrypt documents.
To create a self-signed digital ID, choose Advanced > Security Settings. Select Digital IDs on the left, and then click
the Add ID button in the toolbar. Select A New Digital ID I Want To Create Now, and continue through the wizard.
Type the personal information for your digital ID, including your name. When you certify or sign a document, the
name appears in the Signatures panel and in the signature field. Name your digital ID and create a password for it
that contains at least six characters, with no punctuation marks or special characters. Click Finish. Make a backup
copy of your digital ID file, in case the original is lost or damaged.
