We have been tasked to create SGML docs with *.cgm graphics, then
deliver them in *.PDF format. The graphics are Interactive
Schematics/Diagrams (I-Graphics) that provide component hotspots, links
to databases, interactive wire/signal tracing, etc - which all need to
be fully intact and functional in the PDF. We are reviewing IsoView and
IsoDraw to create the *.cgm graphics.



Does anyone have any experience/advice in this arena? Any info on
applications, concepts, techniques as well as pitfalls would be greatly
appreciated. All this is part of a larger Single source > Multiple
output project.



Our Current Applications:

I-Graphic Creation - IsoView 3.0/IsoDraw 5.04

SGML Authoring - Epic Editor 5.1

XML Publishing - XPP 7.2C.1

Text Editor - UtraEdit-32

Content Management Software - Content@ CM 3.2C.2 (PCM 3.2C.3.P1 server)
