What you descri...Hi Markus, thanks for the comment. What you described is certainly my normal view of PDFs - a sort of second best option to a book. Brooks seems to be arguing that really PDF is the future and a better alternative than a real book. More opportunity for creative control and expression going forward. Maybe it isn't entirely there now, but I suspect he is right that PDF or similar is the long term Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198290151737317627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18928719.post-15135785841849377152009-03-21T10:38:00.000-05:002009-03-21T10:38:00.000-05:00I would like to know what resources exist to show ...I would like to know what resources exist to show how to actually create PDF presentations like we are speaking of.

One could do a PDF every month without leaving a mark on the budget. Of course, I notice that magic conditional word, "could". I certainly haven't accomplished that. <BR/><BR/>You have posed some very interesting points that have me thinking.

I like the idea of the .pdf book - if nothing else than to flex our editing muscles.
