Introduction

Every photographer wants to publish their work as books. But, books are expensive, bulky, consume natural resources to produce, and are difficult to distribute. I've written about this elsewhere.

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.

I currently publish in two formats:

Adobe Reader Monographs

For viewing on your computer via the free Adobe Reader (version 9 or greater). These monographs take advantage of Reader's powerful audio/video media embedding, full-screen mode, threaded navigation, page transitions, and hyperlink capabilities.

iPad Monographs

For viewing on the iPad, iPod, iPhone and similar devices using PDF document viewers like GoodReader. These monographs are image presentations only without audio/video media or the other capabilities of full-featured PDFs.

This library of PDF publications is offered here for free download. Like all things, however, there are costs involved — equipment, travel, creating and maintaining this library of PDFs, etc. It's not necessary, but if you are so motivated, I appreciate your support via PayPal. There is no minimum for the tip jar, so feel free to set your own amount. It's all appreciated, large or small!

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 or for transferring to your iPad. 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
