PDF Portfolios allow you to package up a number of different types of files in a professional-looking, engaging way for clients and customers. A portfolio is like a digital envelope that has a Welcome Page and may contain PDFs, Word documents, images, PowerPoint files, Excel files and much more.

In this podcast, Adobe's Tim Plumer shows you how to create a professional marketing portfolio. Demo on the Mac, but applicable to all platforms.

Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended offer a time-saving batch processing feature.

Adobe's Tim Plumer shows you how to created, distribute and collect data from a PDF form. Starting only with a "flat" PDF, form fields are added and the form may be distributed to many recipients to fill out in the free Adobe Reader.

Finally, the returned form data may be imported, filtered and analyzed and the data exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
