ADOBE PDF EBOOKS
Chapter 3: Optimizing your Adobe PDF documents
Creating thumbnail images of the cover Acrobat eBook Reader features a Library where users can organize their eBooks. The Library displays thumbnail images of book covers to identify the eBooks. So that your readers can view your book’s cover in the Library, create a thumbnail image of your book’s cover in JPEG format. Use appropriate image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, to make the thumbnail image 100 pixels wide, 96 dpi, and RGB mode. Then attach the thumbnail image you just created to your Adobe PDF document. Additionally, eBook publishers commonly display images of the book cover on their Web sites to identify and advertise their publications. You can create a similar thumbnail image in GIF format to upload as a separate file to Adobe Content Server for this purpose. To create thumbnail images of the cover: 1 In Acrobat 5.0, open your document and make the cover the
current page. 2 Use the Graphics Select Tool (
) to drag a marquee around the page or the portion of the page you wish to show in the eBook Reader Library. 3 Choose File > Save as, and select JPEG Files from the Save as
type pop-up menu.
