The portfolio works on Reader 9 or later - seeing only a blank first 
page on Adobe Reader for Linux is because, since about version 9.3.4 or 
Reader, Adobe have disabled Flashplayer within Reader, so it doesn't 
show the initial page which contains thumbnails of the embedded PDFs. 
Everything else in the portfolio works as it should, though. The point 
of creating the portfolio is that it contains an index of every word in 
the embedded PDFs, so you can search across all the embedded PDFs (the 
portfolio contains the manuals for Extending, Internals, Learning, 
Notation, Snippets, Usage, and Web). Try loading the PDF portfolio into 
Reader and entering a search term into the search box at upper right...
