Join Joel Geraci, Acrobat technical evangelist at Adobe Systems, as he talks about how you can create highly branded PDF Portfolio layouts by creating your own custom templates.

Adobe Acrobat 9 comes with a set of PDF Portfolio layouts and these are great for the general use case of bundling up a set of files and sending them around as a single PDF file. There are some basic features to customize headers and welcome screens and also to apply different color palettes. But, with Acrobat 9.1, Adobe introduced a rich ActionScript API that can be used to create highly branded, custom PDF Portfolio layouts or "Navigators" as they are called in the SDK Documentation.

In this session you will learn:

What you need to get started with the Acrobat ActionScript API
How to bootstrap a basic Navigator in Flex Builder 3
How to bundle your Navigator's SWF file into a .NAV file for use in Acrobat using ANT
How to avoid the most common trouble spots
How to turn on the debugging options in Acrobat
Who should attend:
If you are a Flex developer and are interested in leveraging your skills in a new and exciting way, this is for you.
If you are an Acrobat developer or power user and have never worked with ActionScript or Flex, you might want to skip this one.

Skills required:
ActionScript 3
Flex Builder 3
ANT (recommended)
