Re: Acrobat question

[Max Wyss <prodok -at- PRODOK -dot- CH>]

Sella,

the easiest would be using the Article feature, and using the print version
of the document. The article is a series document blocks (created either
manually (can be tedious, but gives maximum control), or programmatically,
for example in Framemaker) which are connected. When the user views them,
it is enlarged to the screen width. With simple clicks, the user can scroll
up and down a screenfull.

Another possibility would be using forms. Have two base PDF files with
multiline text fields into which the the text is loaded. Main drawback
here: limited choice of fonts, and no graphics etc. at all.

Hope, this can help.
