Adding a library thumbnail graphic to your PDF eBook

After you’ve created your Library cover thumbnail, you need to attach it to your eBook in order for it to appear in My Bookshelf in either Adobe Reader or Acrobat 6. Here’s how:

1. Open the eBook file and select the cover page graphic in the Pages palette (it should be the first page in the document) and then reduce the magnification so that the work area surrounding the page is visible. A magnification of 75% usually works well for this with a screen resolution of 800 x 600.
2. Select the Attach File tool located on the Advanced Commenting toolbar. You can also hold down the Shift key while pressing the S key to cycle through the tools found on this menu. The cursor changes to a paperclip icon.
3. Click in the workspace surrounding your cover page (not on the cover page itself), and in the Select File to Attach dialog box (Windows) or the Open dialog box (Mac) that appears, locate and select your Library thumbnail graphic, and then click the Select button. The File Attachment Properties dialog box appears.
4. Accept the default settings for your attachment and click OK.

A paperclip icon appears in the workspace next to the cover page, as shown in Figure. Make sure that the paperclip is in the workspace and not on the cover graphic page. After you’ve attached your Library thumbnail graphic, you can open My Bookshelf in Adobe Reader or Acrobat 6 by choosing File➪My Bookshelf to view the thumbnail, as shown in Figure.
