Putting It All Together
Throughout this topic you have seen how to use Acrobat's features in an AEC project. In this final chapter,
we aren't introducing any new information. Rather, we are going to concentrate on building real-life
projects.
In our project, the main pages in each navigation file serve as instructional markers, showing you how
to proceed and what to include in a specific area. You are invited to use the information in this chapter -
and the projects - as a way to develop your own electronic document/knowledge management system.
In this Chapter
In this project chapter you will learn how to use Acrobat for both document and knowledge management,
as the processes are the same. There are several elements to the project.
In the project materials available for this chapter, you will find a set of folders matching the navigation
structure designed in the project. Each folder includes one PDF file to use as navigation for that folder's
contents. The files used in each folder/subfolder are referenced by both folder name and file name.
In addition, you can use the collection of files from the topic's main project, the DuPont Soccer Park,
also within the chapter's project folder:
x
Create the folder structure, and convert files as necessary to PDF and move into the appropriate folders.
x
Create a table in a program such as PowerPoint and convert it to PDF to use for a main interface page
for navigation.
x
Add the links from the main page to a navigation page leading to a subfolder of PDF files.
x
Create bookmarks and links from within each area's navigation page.
AEC Document Management
The main interface page for our project is an image of the DuPont Soccer Park with text used for links
overlaying the image (Figure 16.1). The original was created in Photoshop. Each of the text labels in the
table links to another PDF file used for navigation through a subfolder named according to the section.
