Creating a tagged PDF file

When you’re satisfied with the look and feel of your eBook, your final step is to export the publication and its tags to PDF. The following steps show you how to export your PageMaker publication to PDF, which can then be opened up in Acrobat 6 for final adjustments prior to distributing your eBook:

1. In PageMaker, open the publication you want to export to PDF. Note that if you’ve compiled your PageMaker publications into a book, you need to open the first publication in your Book List. This should be some element of the front matter, such as the table of contents. The Book utility takes care of sending the parts of your book in their correct order to Acrobat 6.
2. Choose File➪Export➪Adobe PDF. Acrobat takes a few moments to configure itself for this task and then opens the PDF Options dialog box.
3. Select options in the PDF Options dialog box. See the next section for details on specifying options that pertain to eBooks when exporting them to tagged PDF in PageMaker.
4. Click the Export button to send your publication to Acrobat 6.
