[X4U] Acrobat PDF presentation example [TAN]

[Brett Conlon]

Just had a look at one of them and they are excellent examples of 
multimedia PDF files... unfortunately they have locked down security so 
the students will be unable to select items and see what settings they 
used - Bummer dude!!!

Anyway, these should get the juices flowing!

I'd still be happy to find other non-locked-down examples if anyone has 
any.

Cheers,

Coj

ps. yes, theres a few of us in the X4U list also.

too late now I know, but imo the best examples I've seen of 
interactive PDFs were the semiannual (quarterly?) gX magazine issues 
that unfortunately stopped publishing in 2005:
http://www.gxo.com/

Scroll down and at the bottom of the left sidebar you'll see archives 
of the issues. Be sure to download the "rich media" ones; they 
contain the embedded QT movies, SWF files and such.

But even the smaller versions contain innovative navigation/TOCs.

I use Acrobat for all my presentations (author in ID first, then add 
interactivity in Acro). What Acro needs is a way to create builds, 
though. I have to do these manually in ID with multiple duped pages, 
each with an additional bullet. yuck.
