The PDF Portfolio creation process has been simplified in the current release of Acrobat Pro. You no longer need the Flash Player installed on your system to create or view portfolios. You can easily create folders within your PDF Portfolio, delete component files and folders, edit component filenames, and add and edit descriptions of component files.
Start Acrobat and choose File > Create > PDF Portfolio.
Drag files into the Create PDF Portfolio dialog box.
Alternatively, choose an option from the Add Files menu. You can add a file, folder of files, pages from a scanner, web page, or items in the clipboard.
Click Create to add the files to the PDF Portfolio.
The selected files are added to your portfolio and a toolbar along with the thumbnails of the files is displayed in the left pane.

Note:
In Windows, the AcrobatPDFMaker in Outlook and Lotus Notes cancreate PDF Portfolios when you convert e-mail messages.
Note:
As you cannot change the order of files in the PDF Portfolio, it is recommended to add the files in a sequential order. Also, if you add a folder, the files in the folder are added in the alphabetical order.
From an open PDF Portfolio, do any of the following:
- In the left pane, click Add Files and select Add Files, Add Folder, or Add Web Content.
- To create a folder, click the Create Folder icon in the secondary toolbar.
- To add files from your computer, drag any files or folders into the PDF Portfolio workspace or onto a folder, which is available in the left pane.
Note:
For best performance, keep the total number ofcomponent files at 15 or less, and the total size of all componentfiles under 50 MB.
Sample Architectural Portfolio
In the navigation pane of a PDF Portfolio, do the following:
- Drag to rearrange files within a folder of the PDF portfolio.
- Drop files to folders, or folder to another folder provided both are at a same level or folder.
You can link to websites or embed video tags.Linking to web content is useful when you want to reduce the filesize of the PDF Portfolio.
In the left pane, click Add Files and select Add Web Content.
Enter a filename and description for the web content that gets added to your PDF Portfolio. This web file links to the web content you specify.
To link to a website, select Add A Web Link, and then add the URL.
To embed a video tag, select Add An Embed Tag, and then paste the video’s embed code. Video-sharing websites usually include a way to copy a video’s embed code. For example, a website could include an Embed box that shows the code and other embedding options.
Convert multimedia files in a PDF Portfolio (Acrobat Pro)
You can convert the following component multimedia files to PDF within a PDF Portfolio: SWF files and mp3. You can also convert these files to PDF if they are encoded in H.264 (with AAC audio): MOV, M4V, MP4, 3GP, and 3G2. (H.264 and AAC are encoding and compression options for movies.)
From an open PDF Portfolio, right-click/Control-click one or more multimedia files in the PDF Portfolio and select Convert To PDF.
If a dialog box appears, specify the options as needed and click OK.

Almost done with fall semester in my 3rd year of a 5 year program and I'm trying to work on my professional portfolio.
I started out making it 7 x 9 inches because I thought it seemed like a reasonable size to hold and a couple different publishers could print at this size. However, my professor suggested to the class 11 x 17, which seems huge to me. Other students also told me mine was very small.
