creating PDF's questions

I am creating something with pdf's in photoshop CS4 page by page. But in the end I want all of the pdf's to be one book I guess?

how do I do that?

acrobat can merge already created single pages. otherwise get all your pages together in one doc before you make the PDF

Distiller should take care of that if you merge after it's compiled (20 (1)pg pdf's into 1 (20)pg pdf). It should be included with CS_

Yup. You can do it with distiller or Acrobat Pro in CS.

CS, Distiller or Acrobat can merge all into one pdf file. Then if you want to reduce the file size you can restrict the file to ver 7.0 or later which will save you 20% in file size.

awesome.

I tried to make my document in LaTex but that would require a lot of learning that coding language. Photoshop will do .

I'm almost done with what I have.

I cannot seem to find distiller. I only have adobe reader as well.

I finished all of my pages and now I would like to combine them all into one document

do you have a software that can bring in your photoshop pages? Can photoshop do multiple pages. Windows 7 has PDFCreator not sure when they started that. Or find a shareware PDF creator software. It installs as a printer so you take your multipage document and print, then choose the PDF Creator as the printer

I can do it in Bridge but I cannot have the pages in the order I'd like. Unless I cheat and name the files 1,2,3, etc

A friend of mine opened the files on his mac, dragged and dropped them in the order I wanted and it was done... why must windows be difficult?

I also need to get the file size down. That method it came out to like 20 MB's... Partly because each page in jpeg form was 1.7 MB's.. gah

I just made the quality lower so that helps.
