[snip Grey Star stuff]
I've been thinking; would the Windows Help File approach be more useful with the
RH than a PDF document? Should we ask the guy who offered to do make CHM files
to have a look at doing so for the RH for us?
My gut instinct says "That depends on whether anybody own/has access to a full version of Acrobat (not just the Reader)." With the full program, it's easy to add bookmarks that would act as the hyperlinks.
I definitely have access to the full version; I think Jon does as well. Maybe
others?
in order to add hyperlinks to MS-Word, you need to set everything you want to
link to as Heading 1, 2, or 3 (could also be more if you configure Acrobat
accordingly). There should be the odd hyperlink in all the PDF files I've done:
a link to the License from the Title Page. In theory, anyway.
I don't know whether the hyperlink functions within Word(Perfect) or their various equivalents would be translated from the source file into the PDF if simply printed with a PDF writer.
I don't think so; I have used freeware "Print to PDF" software in the past and
it didn't translate the hyperlinks at all. Additionally, the quality of the
output left much to be desired.
In general, I like the PA commitment to platform-independence, and would prefer the RH to stay that way if possible.
OK, just thought I'd get some opinions. I agree with what you're saying; I just
don't want to have to maintain another PDF file! ;-) Anyone want to take charge
of the Readers' Handbook PDF and all it's lovely Headings and hyperlinks?

Hyperlinks in an OpenOffice 2.0 document will be translated to the PDF

know if anyone noticed the hyperlinks, but they're there. :)
I noticed it! Not that we've seen hide nor hair of a newsletter for about 12
months, of course . . . ;-)
Deathlord takes priority!! ^_^
