I am writing a curriculum-Photography Class for kids. I want to put everything into a PDF format and burn to disc. Can anyone explain this to me. Do I have to purchase the on-line $9.95 from Adobe....or do I some how already have the capability, and don't know it? I have look through everything I have an don't see what I am looking for?

I have CS2, Bridge, Image Ready and Reader 7.0.

I have made my brochures into PDFs before through a Print shop program...but can't seem to grasp this...hhhmmm. Thanks for your help!

no no no no no there will be no design in photoshop lol.

if you're on a mac, you can print any document directly to PDF... the support is built right into the operating system. if you're on windows... well, can't help you there, but i'm surprised that microsoft word or whatever you're using wouldn't allow you to export to PDF? *snicker* apple has supported that kind of thing for years....

Ok, yes I guess I should have clarified a bit! I am using a PC, and WOrd to create the document...there seems to be no option to save as a PDF file.

When you hit "Print" there should be an option to Print to Adobe PDF - like you're selecting a different printer. Check that.

All the best,

I checked all of the options....and checked again to make sure. I don't see anything?

Bleh it would take more than PDF support to make me switch to mac.

If you have the professional version of Acrobat, you should be able to select Adobe PDF as a "printer" when you go to File->Print. If you don't have it, there are many cheaper and free options available, like sourceforge's PDF Creator. Simply download, install and go to your print options to create a PDF. Boom, done.

Switch to mac......hahahahahaha.

I agree with Lynn.

If you have the professional version of Acrobat (it's included in CS3 and I would have thought it was in CS2 also if you have the suite?) but for some reason the pdf is not showing up as a printer option (in all of my Office programs it shows up as both a printer and it has its own menu--for example if your document has links that you want to preserve, just printing it to a pdf won't work), go into Acrobat itself and use the Create PDF option. I just tried it on a Word file and it worked just fine.
