USING ACROBAT 9 PRO
Creating PDFs
Also, the PDF functions like any other PDF. For example, you can navigate through the file by scrolling or using
bookmarks; users can add comments to it; you can add security, form fields, and other features that enhance it.
In preparing to convert web pages to PDF, consider the following factors, which affect how you approach the
conversion process:
• How much do you want to convert?
If you want to convert only selected areas of the currently open web page, use PDFMaker from within Internet
Explorer. If you want to convert several levels or all of a multipage website to PDF, work within Acrobat.
• Do you want to create a new PDF from the web pages or to append the converted pages to an existing PDF?
You can do both in either Acrobat or Internet Explorer, but you choose different buttons or commands to
accomplish these things.
Note: To convert Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language web pages to PDF on a Roman (Western) system in
Windows, you must have installed the CJK language support files while installing Acrobat. Also, it is preferable to select
an appropriate encoding from the HTML conversion settings.
Convert web pages to PDF in Internet Explorer (Windows)
When you install Acrobat, Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later) gains an Adobe PDF toolbar. Using the commands
on this toolbar, you can convert the currently displayed web page to PDF in various ways: You can convert the entire
web page or selected areas of it; you can create a new PDF or append the converted web page to an existing PDF. The
Adobe PDF toolbar menu also contains commands that initiate further actions after conversion, such as attaching the
new PDF to a new email message or printing it.
A menu on the PDF toolbar provides easy conversion and print capabilities.
