I was wondering how to scan & copy a book.
I thought of Adobe Acrobat & found that Photoshop 7 will let me scan, modify & then save as a .PDF file.
That is page 1 sorted but how do I add more pages to make an Acrobat document. Any help greatfully accepted

There are several approaches to the problem, and some will require you to have Adobe Acrobat; not the Adobe Reader, but the full program. I’ll start with a some Acrobat suggestions:

1) Scan from Acrobat. If you click the icon for "Create PDF" and select "from scanner",
Acrobat will prompt for each page. In the end, you will have everything collected in a
single document.

2) If you have PDFs already created, you can go open page one, then through the menu
commands to insert additional pages.

3) In your Windows Browser, or Mac equivalent if your working on Mac, highlight the files,
Right Click and use the option (Combine into PDF). This also works with originals in
other graphic formats (JPG, TIF, etc). Again you will have everything collected in a
single document.

Without Acrobat
I am using PSCS, so I don’t know if PS7 has this function, but in PSCS there is an option under
File> Automate> PDF Presentation
that may work for you. This creates a self running slide show, but you can set it to only advance
under user input.

If I seem biased towards Acrobat, I admit I am. I’ve worked with it for quite a while and have come to like it for projects like the one you are describing. There may be other tools to do the same job, but this is the one I know the best.
