Our company has a HTML (index.html) file we use, and it starts up
automatically using an autorun.inf and a start.exe file.
The start.exe file just tells the computer to start up the index file. Then
the index file has a graphic and text of what is new for that release. We
update it every release so that it is always listing the most current
things, like if a new manual is released. Below the graphic, we have a
bulleted list of each of the files available on the CD (title and PN linking
to the PDF).

Good afternoon,
My company would like to release our product manuals on CD. The manuals are
created in Framemaker 6 and then distilled to PDF. Simple enough. However,
I would like to make the CD a little more than a listing of the file names.
I'd like to create an interface that loads when the CD is run that allows
access to the various manuals. (Click on a link to the manual type stuff.)
However, I'm not sure how to proceed with that. One thought I had was to
create a PDF that acts as the interface to the manuals. Is this standard
procedure? Or do you have better, strong, faster ideas? <grin> I'd
appreciate any examples/help you can offer.
Regards,
Regina
