We do not recommend that you change the default location of your Profile folder for Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac, or your Identity folder for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 to an external hard disk or to a network. Additionally, using a mail identity or profile that is located on an external hard disk or on a network is not supported in either version of Outlook for Mac.
More information
Outlook 2016 for Mac caches your mail items in a profile in your home folder at the following location:
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles
Outlook for Mac 2011 caches your mail items in an identity in your home folder at the following location:
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities
Like Microsoft Entourage for Mac 2008, Outlook 2016 for Mac and Outlook for Mac 2011 are intended to be purely locally cached mail clients. Changing the location or using a mail identity that is located on an external hard disk or a network is not supported.
A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in a wide range of file types created in different applications. For example, a PDF Portfolio can include text documents, e-mail messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
Depending on the circumstances, PDF Portfolios offerseveral advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF:
Add or remove files easily, without having to find and selectall the pages that originated in that file.
Drag files to rearrange, and drop files to folders, or folder to another folder at the same level in the navigation pane of the PDF Portfolio.
Quickly preview component files without having to open themin their native applications.
Change individual files within the PDF Portfolio withoutaffecting the other files. For example, you can renumber pages inone document without renumbering other documents in the PDFPortfolio. You can also edit non-PDF files in theirnative applications from within a PDF Portfolio.Any changes you make are saved to the file within the PDFPortfolio.
Share a PDF Portfolio with othersand be sure that they are getting all the component parts. Publisha PDF Portfolio on a website for others toview.
Sort component files by categories that you can add to, delete,hide, and customize. Simply click a column name to sort the list.
Print all the PDFs in a PDF Portfolio,or selected component PDFs.
Search one or all files in a PDF Portfolio.You can even search non-PDF component files.
Add non-PDF files to an existing PDF Portfolio withoutconverting them to PDF.
The source files of a PDF Portfolio—even existingfiles you add to the PDF Portfolio—are notchanged when you create a PDF Portfolio.Changes you make to the component files within a PDFPortfolio do not change the original files from whichyou created the PDF Portfolio. You can movea PDF Portfolio anywhere on your computeror network without any risk of losing or disconnecting its components.
Include the same file in multiple PDF Portfolios.
In Acrobat, you create and edit PDF Portfolios, and work with component files using various elements, such as panes, toolbars, and windows.
A. PDF Portfolio toolbar B. Component files and folders in the left navigation pane C. Previous and Next (arrow) buttons to scroll through component files D. Link to open the component file
The PDF Portfolio toolbar is located immediately below the main toolbar. You can perform common tasks such as, adding files or folders, creating a new folder, extracting
component file, or deleting a component file.The left navigation pane lists the files and folders included in the PDF Portfolio. By default, the files and folders are displayed alphabetically. You can change the order by configuring the sort order in the Portfolio Properties dialog box.
Alternately, to rearrange files in the left navigation pane, drag files , or drop files to folders, and folders to folders provided both are at the same level in the Portfolio.
The Previous and Next buttons allow you to scroll through the files and folders included in the PDF Portfolio. A preview of the selected file is displayed by default. However, if the component file is a non-PDF file, then a Preview button is displayed in the document area. Clicking the Preview button allows you to view the file’s contents in the PDF Portfolio itself.
The Open Document link opens the selected component file for editing. If it is a PDF file, then the file is opened in the document area where you can work on it like any other PDF document. Else, if the file is non-PDF, then it is opened in its native application. Once you make changes in the component file and save it, the newer content is made available in the PDF Portfolio.
Layout (Preview mode) shows the preview of the component file in the PDF Portfolio depending on the type of file. For information about each type of preview, see Portfolio view modes.
Details or Files mode shows the file details in a list. You can click a column name to sort by ascending and descending order.
A PDF Portfolio is accessible when it opens in Details or Files mode. This mode provides a better reading experience for people with disabilities—such as mobility impairments, blindness, and low vision. To open all PDF Portfolios in Files mode, open the Preferences dialog box by choosing Edit > Preferences (Windows). In Acrobat only, choose Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS). Under Categories, select Accessibility, and then select Show Portfolios In Files Mode.
You can view the component files in two different ways – Layout (or Preview) mode and Details (or Files mode). In Layout mode, the component files list is presented in the left navigation pane, as shown in the preceding figure. In Details mode, the component files list is presented immediately below the secondary toolbar, as shown in the following screenshot:
In both the views, you can preview images and pages, play video and SWF files. However, in the Details view you can also view information about a file. You can extract (move) a file to your computer. You can also open a file in its native application (if installed on your computer). You can switch between the Layout and Details view by choosing the desired option from the View > Portfolio menu.
The Platform preview mode is also available where a full-size preview within the document window is shown. By default, the PDF, SWF, and HTML files are displayed in the document window. To open other file types in Platform preview, such as e-mail portfolios, form response files, and secured PDFs, choose View > Portfolio > Preview File. To close Platform preview, click the Close Preview (X) icon after the filename in the secondary toolbar.
Switch between Layout, Details, and Platform Preview modes
You can switch between the Layout and Details view modes by choosing the desired option from View > Portfolio menu.
You can also switch to the Platform Preview mode by choosing View > Portfolio > Preview File.
