Creating PDFs
Last updated 1/14/2015
If a message appears saying that the file could not be opened in Acrobat, then that file type cannot be converted to
PDF by the drag-and-drop method. Use one of the other conversion methods for that file.
Note: You can also convert PostScript and EPS files to PDF by dragging them onto the Acrobat window or the Acrobat
application icon.
3 Save the PDF.
(Windows only) You can also right-click a file in Windows Explorer and choose Convert to Adobe PDF.
Convert clipboard content to PDF
You can create PDFs from text and images that you copy from applications on Mac OS or Windows.
1 Capture content in the Clipboard:
• Use the copy command in the applications.
• Press the PrintScreen key (Windows).
• Use the Grab utility (Applications > Utilities > Grab), and choose Edit > Copy to place the content on the
clipboard. (Mac OS)
• Select objects using the Edit Object tool (Tools > Print Production > Edit Object), and then copy the selected
objects.
Note: The Tools panel doesn't display Print Production by default. Choose Print Production from the options menu in
the upper-right corner of the Tools panel.
In Acrobat, choose File > Create > PDF from Clipboard.
Note: The PDF from Clipboard command appears only when content is copied to the Clipboard. If the Clipboard is
empty, the command is disabled.
Create a blank PDF
You can create a blank PDF, rather than beginning with a file, a clipboard image, or scanning.
