How to Create Adobe PDF eBooks

Unlike traditional printed books, eBooks are designed to be

viewed online. When you design a document template in your

authoring application, you should use a smaller page size, ample

margins, and fonts that look good on-screen. Before converting

your document to Adobe PDF, you should set recommended job

options for eBooks in Acrobat Distiller® or your authoring appli-

cation, so that it generates an Adobe PDF document to be viewed

primarily online. Last, you should make ﬁnishing touches to

your Adobe PDF document such as renumbering pages using

Adobe Acrobat®, so that it displays at its best in Acrobat eBook

Reader.
