    Al?

    Should I just create a document and have:

    Cover
    Photo
    Photo
    Photo
    Etc.
    End

    Or more? I'm putting one together as it'll look way more professional than linking to Flickr and it lets me cherry-pick to boot.

    All well and good until some wanker dosn't have Adobe Reader ;)

    What about (This might sound a bit cheesy, but hey, you're in Las Vegas!!) having several photos from different genres on each page? Might take a while to get the design right, but could work very well.

    Format wise - PDF, Powerpoint and just Jpegs. Maybe a flash too? I know the majority of people will have Adobe reader, but there'll always be one.

    That has nothing to do with it being a PDF, its to do with compression.

    We use PDF's everyday to get work printed and there is no easier and safer way to get your work printed.
