PDF Portfolio

Post by BarryH »

Hi,

I've just been sent a PDF which when I open it I get a 'splash screen' that says:

"For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later."

It seems that the PDF consists of file attachments that I can view individually. I've not come across this before, is PDF-Xchange Viewer going to be able to support this format in future?
Best regards
Barry

Hi Barry,

Portfolios are a collection of files attached to the main document, this might be a file itself, or just a "welcome screen". For now the Viewer doesn't support those welcome screens, but still all the attachments can be opened and Viewer without any issues:

We have plans to support those welcome screens in the Editor in the future.

Best,

Thanks Stefan, do the 'attachments' form part of the body of the file or are they in a different location? I assume that they are all part of the same file in which case I suppose it's a neat way of organising different sections?
Best regards

Hi Barry,

It's all together in the same file, but it's a bit like an archive - you can browse the list of attachments, and if needed - extract one of them as a separate file as well.

Best,
Stefan
