PDF Publications

Introduction

Every photographer wants to publish their work as a book. But, books are expensive, bulky, consume natural resources to produce, and are difficult to distribute.

With the advancement of the Acrobat PDF, we photographers have a perfect way to share our work with others — a beautiful full-screen presentation, a true digital book format that is self-contained, and files that are easily distributed via the Internet. My PDF publications can be viewed in the free Acrobat Reader, version 7 or greater.

With a "left-click" some browsers will open a PDF in the browser window; you may do this, but you will find it best to download these PDFs to your computer for viewing full-screen using the free Acrobat Reader. If you are new to this, here are some Acrobat tips.

Downloading

Windows users may download an entire PDF by using a right-click and then choosing "Save as . . ." Mac users with a two-button mouse may do the same thing.

Mac users with a one-button mouse may download an entire PDF by using click-and-hold and then choosing to save the file to your harddrive.

I recommend creating a folder on your harddrive that is your "Library of PDFs," or "PDF Bookshelf" or some such designation. Download content to this folder for storage. Launch the PDF publications from this folder on your harddrive.

Pages Won't Open on a Mac or only open with the application Preview

If the pages aren't opening or displaying as blank white pages, you are probably viewing the files with Preview on your Mac instead of with Adobe Reader OR you are using Adobe Reader 6 or less to open the files. Be sure you have Adobe Reader 7 or greater downloaded on your computer. You must make Adobe Reader 7 or greater your default PDF reader:

1. Select the PDF file you have downloaded.
2. Select "Get Info" from the File menu (or hit Cmd-I)
3. Set "Open With" to Adobe Reader 7 or greater.
4. Click the "Change All" button to make this the default for all PDFs

At the LensWork website in the tech support area, we've compiled a number of useful tips for viewing Acrobat PDF publications on our LensWork Extended discs. You'll find a lot of information there that will make your PDF experience easier and that will hopefully answer any questions you have. If you need additional help, feel free to email us for assistance.
