You will make use of:

• Action Scripts
• Batch rename
• PDF Slideshow Tool

Before you start PDF slide show:

1. Make a folder called "SlideShow".

2. Put all your images for your slideshow into this folder. One side of the image should be at least 600 pixels or larger and the other side should be 900 pixels or larger. The image resolusion should be 96 dpi or more. It is okay if the image has layers. You can put both horizontal and vertical images in the same folder.

3. Make another folder called "jpg" in the "SlideShow" folder. All the jpg files creating with Action Scripts will be save in the "jpg" folder. (image1)
