Need some help...

I've been tasked at my work to make a small flip based booklet - about 5 pages long.

I'll be using photoshop but need top merge the files into a PDF document (adobe acrobat) so it can be printed.

The question is how do I take 5 separate images on photoshop and make 1 PDF document?

I only have adobe reader - do I need writer and is there a way of just importing new pages?

Its very possible.

Download pdffactory.

Then simply 'print' your 5 PDFs in to 1 new pdf.

I use a mac at work as I work in the design studio in a printers. We use mainly Photoshop for the photograph side of things but use another adobe product called Indesign for the basic layouts.

From indesign you can drop in your selected photos/designed pages for your flip chart into a multi page document. From there you will be able to save as multi page PDF.

If you look for a torrent download for creative suite for PC, this includes: Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamwaver, Flash and Acrobat Professional. (Use at home thou and not work)

If you are wanting to just do it in Photoshop then save each page as a PDF then get hold of a copy of Acrobat Professional. Open your PDF document and you can then import each page as you need.

If your just sending the stuff through to the printers give them a call - chances are theyll be able to work with the flattened photoshop files from you anyway so saves you messing with the pdfs at all.

You'll need a PDF writer, which more often than not will cost money.

Get the business to pay for it. Using copied software (i.e. downloading it from a torrent) on a business IT system will land you in a whole world of sh!t.

If the business refuse to pay for the software to write PDFs, then your task can't be completed. Simple as that really.

Cutepdf doesnt add a banner, but it only allows single PDFs, unless you get the pro version, which then adds a logo unless you buy it!

As above, no such thing as a free lunch.

Alternatively, if its a one off, email them to me and il join them using the copy of full adobe we have at work.
