My organization has around 90 publications that we are looking to distribute to our constituents in CD format. They are all PDFs. Our primary concern is that anyone on any machine will be able to view this CD and the information on it. We want it to be simple, portable, and compatible with as many systems as possible. We had an HTML version, but couldn’t find a way to open the PDF in Acrobat rather than in the browser window. We don’t want to open it in a browser window because we get active content errors that make the CD less professional. We have tried using a Flash version of the CD, but without buying a third-party product, we weren’t able to open a specific PDF in Acrobat. We could open Acrobat by itself, but not the specific PDF. To open the specific PDF, we had to use the geturl command, which presents us with the same active content issue the HTML version had. Also, I’m not sure about the compatability. A PowerPoint presentation packaged for CD, and this works reasonably well except that sometimes the PDF opens behind the presentation, causing people to think that it didn’t open. Have any ideas about how to implement this CD?
