Create PDFs from Creative Suite Applications
When you create a PDF from a Creative Suite program such as InDesign or Illustrator, it’s similar to creating a PDF from a MS Office Suite application by printing to the Adobe PDF printer within that program or exporting to PDF. However, the difference between creating PDF from MS Office application and the Creative Suite is that you cannot create a PDF from within Acrobat based on a Creative Suite file, whereas you can with an Office file
