"PDF Best Practices", a new series at PlanetPDF

[Shlomo Perets <shlomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the next few weeks, PlanetPDF (http://www.planetpdf.com) will publish a 
series called "PDF Best Practices". In this series, I discuss my 
recommendations and provide tips for producing better online/interactive 
screen-oriented PDFs.

Each article touches on a specific aspect such as better bookmarks, search 
function, navigation and layout.

The first article in this series 
(http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1519) offers suggestions 
for trimming the PDF fat - finding out which elements in a file may be 
contributing unnecessarily to its size (depending in part on the file's 
particular use), and explaining how to remove the excess without impairing 
any needed functionality.

The series focuses on PDF, not on specific authoring tools. However, as the 
examples used in this series - Acrobat 5.0 help file (Acrohelp.pdf) and the 
PDF document collection included in the Adobe Acrobat 5 CD (additional help 
files and SDK documentation) - were authored in FrameMaker, subscribers to 
this list may find several of the issues mentioned directly related to 
their PDF projects.
