Working with component files in a PDF Portfolio
You can sort and preview component files in a PDF Portfolio,
as well as open, edit, and save component files in their native
application. Some file types require that you install the native
application on your computer.
View files in a list
In Preview mode, click the Files button in the PDF Portfolio
toolbar. To sort file details by ascending and descending order,
click a column name. Click it a second time to reverse the order.
Open, edit, and save component files
You can open, edit, and save a component file
in its native application, as long as the application is installed
on your computer. Any changes that you make to component files do
not affect the original files outside your PDF Portfolio.
-
Do one of the following:
-
In Preview mode, right-click/Control-click
the file, and choose Open File In Native Application (for non-PDFs)
or Open File (for PDFs).
-
In Edit mode, double-click the file.
-
If a confirmation dialog box appears, select Open This
File or Always Allow Opening Files Of This Type—if you trust the
format—and click OK.
-
Edit the file as needed, and then save the file.
Edit component filenames and descriptions in a PDF Portfolio
In Edit mode, do any of the following:
-
To edit the displayed name of a component
file, select the file. Then click in the Display Name text box to
show the insertion point. You can also click the Show Info View
icon
on
the card to edit the Display Name on the back of the card. (In Details
view,
Display Name
is a column.)
-
To edit the description of a component file, click
the Show Info View icon. Then click in the Description text box
to show the insertion point. (In Details view,
Description
is
a column.)
Extract component files in a PDF Portfolio
You can extract or drag files out of the PDF
Portfolio window onto your computer. Extracting does not delete
the file from the PDF Portfolio.
Do either of the following:
-
In Layout mode, click the Extract File
icon
in
the component file.
-
Select one or more files, and then drag them to
your computer.
