ScreenFriendlyPdf

Last edit April 2, 2011

It's possible to make PDFs that look good on screen, but only if you accept the idea of generating separate versions for print and screen:

Paper version: http://math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/tutorial/pdfmarks/hyper_p.pdf
Screen version: http://math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/tutorial/pdfmarks/hyper.pdf
More Examples: http://math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html

These were produced with LaTex (and they convinced me to use LaTex for a project I'm working on now). If anyone knows how to get this kind of PDF from DocBook, I'd love to see some samples.

If you want to include the strong points of both, inside a Wiki Framework, see WikiBatics, a Wiki Project to show how Wiki can be used to compose any number of artifacts, including the authoring of a NewPage on WardsWiki, EddiesWiki, or other WikiLikeThing. -- DonaldNoyes.20110402
