Picture Tasks
As part of the document creation process (Step 5 above), you see a dialog named Adobe Acrobat that describes Picture Tasks ( Figure 3.6 ). Picture Tasks is a separate plug-in that is not always present in Acrobat. The plug-in is launched when your document is created in Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements (version 2 or newer), or in Acrobat using JPEG images, as in this project.

Figure 3.6 Picture Tasks may be enabled depending on the image format.
When the Picture Tasks plug-in is activated, several changes are made to the program:
- The Picture Tasks button appears on the Task bar. It includes a pull-down menu that lists Picture Task options (
Figure 3.7

- Export the pictures from the document and either save them or edit them in an image-editing program
- Print the pictures using a number of different page layouts
- Choose from several online functions for sharing or ordering online

In this discussion, we'll focus on creating the slideshow, and then we'll take a look at how the pictures in the slideshow can be printed.
