Creating an e-Book With Adobe Acrobat [Video]

June 1, 2009 · 10 comments

Since the launch of my free e-book, The Perfect Site Guide last week, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how I created and secured the book.

So here’s a video that shows you how to create an e-book using Adobe Acrobat Professional.

Enjoy!

Don’t forget to subscribe to my programming YouTube channel where I focus more on coding, web design, using software programs, etc.

Sometimes you just never know what it is that people don’t know how to do. I would never have thought that would be a problem. ;)

Nice informative video Lisa!

I’d like to mention another free tool for creating PDF’s.
OpenOffice Writer, available in the OpenOffice Suite from OpenOffice.org, allows exporting to PDF format. Most of the features you’ve described in the video(ie. TOC, Bookmarking, Linking, & Encryption with Passwords) are also available.

Thanks,

M. Noel

Very informative video, this has helped me successfully create my eBook. Without this video I don’t think I could have done it.

Thanks,

Thank you for creating this video. It was helpful in many ways. However, I did have a question; After creating a secured ebook and a paypal account. How do you connect your secured ebook to your PayPal account, which will make it downloadable after a customer pays for it through PayPal? Thank you

I would go to PayPal’s site and look in the Help menu. There’s probably advice there. I’ve never used PayPal to sell a book so I’m not sure.

I can’t tell you how very, very helpful your video tutorial was….absolutely on target and “non techie.” You offered me a simple, step-by-step approach to taking my Word document on real estate marketing with technology and getting it ready to upload to my storefront. Hope our paths will cross at some point….You Da Best!

I couldn’t get the links right in my word document when converting to PDF with Cutepdf. I searched and searched and finally I used openoffice and exported to PDF. All of my links are working now. I think Openoffice will work if you don’t want to spend the money on Adobe Pro. Very good info. Thanks Greg Ellison
