Quickstart: Create from a file

To create a PDF from within Acrobat, the application that created the original file must be installed on the system.

  1. Click the Create PDF button  and choose From File.
  2. Select the file you want to convert, and click Open.

The authoring application opens automatically or a progress dialog box appears. If the file is in an unsupported format, a message appears, telling you that the file cannot be converted to a PDF.
